Yet they took something that no one wanted or needed and made it look utterly fantastic.  Think about that.  It is much easier to do great with an obvious concept but much more admirable to do with a less obvious one.  

I think you are exaggerating. Your interest could not possibly have gone up more than 51.23 percent.

Knocking out of the park 10/10 is pretty good for a movie that did not need to be made.

I love that Control and Alan Wake are connected. Sort of an SCP Connected Universe...

Well, that was the real lesson in all of this. If I wanted to become a successful writer there is a lot of work to put in outside of writing the manuscript. And, frankly, I didn’t have the drive for all of the requisite work. It gutted my drive to write another book because I now understand that success is a longshot.…

An ungodly amount of ticket sales vehemently disagree with your diatribe.

I’ll be in my lab... 

So...

When I wrote a novel I remember thinking “Hey, this is better than some of the stuff I read. Of course it will be published!”

What in the Alan Wake is happening?

I’d take one for free.

I said, and I quote: “I don’t care what he looks like but he would play the heck out of the part.”

Stop trying SO HARD to push back against racist fucktwats like this being reported for being racist fucktwats.

Re-read. She accused a black passenger. Fair game for The Root.

I didn’t even know what FTX was.  

I, for one, prefer good storytelling over slavish adherance to a story told in another medium. If you are like me then ignore Rodrigo here. But if you absolutely insist that the jump from book to screen comes with a minimum of change then feel free to follow his advice.

Hey everyone! Don’t listen to Rodrigo here. The show far exceeded my expectations and was far, far superior to a direct adaptation of some very slow albeit cerebral source material.

They need to cast Peter Dinklage as the Mule. I don’t care what he looks like but he would play the heck out of the part.
