re: #2 i think there are basically 4 kinds of people going through our hellscape of a world right now.

#1 is one forum visit away from incelhood. i had to go clean my glasses after multiple facepalms reading that shit.

same and same. it would make an excellent mini series.

i agree with you there, on boris. a very well fleshed out and intriguing character. but the secret history had six of them! and a story that makes both for good interaction, drama, aesthetics and gorgeous scenery. maybe the studios balked at the implied supernatural element of the dionysian ritual but i think it could…

saaaaame. it had a couple of highlights, but the blatant pretentiousness that made the secret history shine (sometimes it can be a good thing!) fell flat in the goldfinch.

i have not but that instantly went on my 'must check out' list. thanks!

it is perfect for a film or miniseries now though, while 90s nostalgia is peaking. it’s madness they’re not adapting it. i can understand them not doing it back when the book was released, but now? it's time and past time.

the goldfinch is worth reading but doesn't hold a candle to secret history imo.

it's my #1, no doubt.

why the HELL does this get a movie before the secret history? i have been waiting for that one since i was a teenager.

who gives a fuck. teenagers do dumb shit all the time. an actual adult man would turn her down and find NOT A TEENAGER.

good god why do grown ass men feel the need to date teenagers? grow. the. fuck. up. you immature babies.

i’m just constantly amazed at how otherwordly pretty kpop boys are. none of the major western boybands even came close.

don't be gross.

oh mc solaar, that is a blast from the past for sure.

only thing not pretentious in france is their hiphop.

it was indeed full of sailors.

they did hold up free palestine banners on camera in the green room when they got their final points. i mean what were the producers gonna do? kick them out?

ot but does anyone know how to check kinja notifications now? that possibility has disappeared for me.
