My rule for all movie adaptations of books: if it’s exactly like the book, why does it even exist?

Isn’t it funny how when a movie cast skews towards women or POC, it’s “political” or “pushing a message,” but if it’s all white dudes, there’s never a problem?

“People go to watch a movie or a show to be entertained. They don’t go to get a message.”

This Gladiator remake is really something.

Snyder fans have already declared Rebel Moon the greatest movie ever and are demanding a director’s cut.

I chuckled at this from the THR piece:

I made some friends mad online when I spoke out against this show. It just isn’t Chas Addams. Netflix could’ve made any supernatural, gothy, CW-esque show they wanted but they needed IP and we got this mess...

I actually really despise how the gaming community treats release dates, and a particular segment of the gaming community has all hell break loose anytime dates are missed or there are constantly delays.

I’m one of those people who fixes the character descriptions from the book in my mind and then is disappointed when the movie casting doesn’t align with the book. But I’m smart enough to realize that’s MY hang-up and then move on and enjoy the films (for the most part, excepting glaring problems).

I don’t doubt you’re right, and those book purists are out there. But these folks are walking like ducks and quacking like ducks (and drinking milkshakes like ducks). If they’re getting painted with the same brush as the people who they’re acting EXACTLY like, maybe that should communicate to them that they should NOT…

“Hiring as a priviledge” AKA “Be happy we’re offering you a job, because we view our employees.. er... contractors as disposable in this tight labor market where companies across all industries, but especially the service industry, are begging for people to fill their vacancies.”

I’m sure the finger wagging they received was absolutely vicious. And they were probably told multiple times not to film that stuff ever again. 

And Chappelle IMMEDIATELY blames it on trans people.

He was really canceled. I mean damn it’s a shame how he was canceled and has no platform and no one even can see his shows anymore. Poor guy... That cancelations was brutal

Same old story. Suck them in, and then raise prices.

Goddamn Republicans!

I maintain that the least believable thing about Star Trek: The Next Generation is the idea that Georgi (LeVar Burton) was awkward and bad with women. The audacity. This man is all charm and goodness.

$44 billion?

Imagine claiming that you can’t afford to pay a wealth tax because all your money is tied up in assets and investments and isn’t liquid enough to be given to the government in the form of taxes and then dropping $44 billion to buy Twitter.
