I’m hyperventilating - I have been teaching this book in my English 101 class for years and imagined its adaptation for just as long. This is amazing, I am so psyched. 

Anohni did it first, and it was beautiful.

My bedroom in my apartment overlooks a large fenced in yard full of cars in various stages of being taken apart and, in the far corner, a closet sized fenced-in area that seems to house anywhere between three and six dogs (I can only hear them). About two or three nights a week, they bark all night from 1am to 6am,…

I look forward to the COSTUMES Volume so that they can explain why they were sometimes so ill-fitting or haphazard.

Novel or Musical? The novel is heavy and complex while the musical is inane. Probably obviously going to be the musical, which, *shrugs* whatever. 

*Kitty Pryde calls out Star Lord’s “famously ant-LGBT” church.

curious how disney will handle the use of his claws. is the act of thrusting 12 inch blades through a ribcage disney-friendly? not really. what use will they be? even without the appearance of *blood* they are pretty brutal weapons.

LOL at everyone like “why author no say wife?!!” Language is complicated and loaded. I’m so down with conveying the more important information that they were together for thirty years than the flattening term “his wife”. Kill all hetero-centric language & be free of its constraints yeeeeaah::))))

Bryan Singer - the movie’s original director who was ousted from the production halfway through for his inability show up to actually direct, which is the subject of the article - is openly gay ...

Hi - gay person here - I’m here to point out that proper/accurate gay/queer representation goes much further than simply portraying a character as being attracted to the same sex (or both sexes, as it were). That is only step one. And the problem queer people have with the film’s portrayal is not that Freddie was “not …

There’s also the continuous comments by Emilia Clarke, in which she states that she is possibly unsettled by Dany’s final choices and how people will remember her, that leads me to believe she isn’t gonna react well to Possible Rival Jon Snow. Which I hate. But I have many issues with the show and I will continue…

Here’s what will happen:

Forgive me, but...did Hart, at any point, say:

“Critically Underrated Bohemian Rhapsody”? Did I read that correctly? Is this a typo? One of the most wildly sugary, silly, offensive mainstream releases of 2018? A film with zero meaningful or original or even accurate commentary on the nature of pop music or fame or homosexuality in the 80's? What about this movie…

The mistake they always seem to make with their apologies is that they never address them directly. It’s always like “I’ve changed since then” or “I love everybody”. It’s NEVER “I’ve learned a lot from the gay people in my life and I would absolutely embrace my gay son” or “I love gay people! Gay people are important…

Andy Serkis, I believe in you- but this aint it. Your work on Apes was amazing. Not sure how that translated into this. But keep going! 

So that song “We Want a Snuffleupagus for Christmas” is about finding a third in a bisexual threeway relationship, yes?

Fair. I guess the bigger question is why would a BBC level studio choose a project that requires animation when its only going to produce something that looks like an old video game? But yes, I can rework these questions to death. At the end, I guess I just think it looks cheap and I wish it did not.

That is a good point. I guess I am just saying the standards have gotten higher. Why go the animation route if it’s not gonna elevate the story? 

Wtffff. BBC production is so hit or miss. There’s alway a feeling of some low-budget ceiling they can’t break. Low budgets don’t have to condemn a project so long as they find artists with the vision to use the limited tools they have to create something that defies that limitation. But this looks like an old video…
