There’s another movie in the works about her starring Scarlett Johansson.

Haha. Or like a mini series that only releases 3 or 4 episodes every year, like some British ones.

There are a bunch of adaptations that are coming out/are already out. A new tv movie came out earlier this year in Canada and coming out soon in the U.S. There’s a film adaptation of the musical coming out sometime in the next year. Then there’s also this Netflix adaptation (which I’m most looking forward to!)

(and now to reply to myself...) I really hate when book adaptations are all depressing and dreary. I feel like I’m always trying to watch some BBC adaptation or something or other and all of the fun of the original book is sucked out. That’s not always the case, but I’ve been bothered by it too often recently :/

I think it’s tricky adapting Anne of Green Gables. In just one book the character grows from age 11 to age 15/16ish. If you’re using just one actress, many of the plot points won’t make sense based on the actress’ age.

I’m so excited for this adaptation! I hope they don’t make it too depressing though... (from that quote, it’s hard to tell) That actress looks adorable.

I’ve been seeing a lot of rave reviews for The Handmaiden but I had no idea it is an adaptation of Fingersmith! That makes me even more eager to see it.

Yeah, it’s called Fallen Grace. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7575762-fallen-grace?from_search=true

I recently read a YA historical fiction book about this rail line

Ohhhhh. I thought it meant she was reclining so I was confused. That makes more sense, thanks!

She sits down with some dictator, 45-degree angle. 

Preeeeeetty sure it’s November 28th

Oh wow. I was 8 at the time of this spree killing and I’ve never heard of this before. I’ll be interested in watching.

Yeah, here in California you actually sign the envelope of the absentee ballot.

That’s very true! On the other hand, a lot of groups have legit-sounding names when they’re actually sort of shady, so I don’t always rely on that

I don’t know if this applies in every state, but many places with absentee ballots/mail-in ballots require a signature

Is there someone actually manually checking on voter signatures in Florida?

Here’s another quote from that Washington Post article

Thanks for the link! That article is fascinating and written well.

The amount of people who are fooled by backronyms ... smh
