Alan Moore's Providence and Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country. Greatly enjoying both, and looking for recommendations of similar work.

These people are doing an amazing job annotating the series. and the length of the annotations do a nifty job of showing just how deep the story is: https://factsprovidence.wor…

Only slightly related, but is anyone reading Alan Moore's Providence? Hands down the best adaptation/rework of Lovecraft's work ever.

The Ruins was a lot of fun, and a surprisingly good adaptation.

Stardust wasn't the best adaptation, but I thought it was charming enough. The involvement of Matthew Vaughn, Michelle Pfeiffer and Mark Strong certainly helped.

Loved that line reading. I have a feeling McShane will make Wednesday as mesmerizing as Mikkelsen made Hannibal.

Dude, Coraline.

The only time this sentence has been uttered about anything in relation to Cohen's writing.

I used to be a regular visitor of Comicsalliance, but their constant negativity finally wore me down. You guys are supposed to be a site that celebrates the medium, not constantly nitpick it.

Finally watched Warcraft, and thought it was garbage. Such a rote story, and the visuals are incredibly dim. One of the principle visual aesthetics of the Warcraft games in my opinion is the contrast between brightly colored armies. The movie made everything look murky and grey.

Even Sam Jackson is baffled at this attempt to modernize something as intrinsically racist as Tarzan.

He seems like a perfect fit for this world though.

1) Yes, the reactions are a little too dramatic for something this harmless.
2) Maybe alter the timing of the punchline a bit? Too many things repeat here, like the 'learning to cook meth line' and the parents' shocked reactions, so maybe cut back on those.

Eh, I like it. I enjoyed the setup at least, the punchline fell a little flat though.

Nah it was that guy from the black eyed peas.

Nah. Have you seen the movies he made prior to drive? His pacing has always been like that, as has his visuals, mostly. His movies are as much about the slow unfolding of visuals as they are about the themes or the story.

I think it's meant to evoke the feeling of a myth, or an opera. That's why the characters are broad archetypes, the visuals are vivid and the logic is dreamlike.

This is a great comment, especially your second paragraph.

I just finished House of Leaves, and loved it. This seemed like a book that lends itself to endless re-reads.
I also got done with The Contortionist's Handbook, and enjoyed it quite a bit. Seems like there was a boom in books featuring protagonists with mental disorders in the late 90s-early 2000s. I don't mind, I find…

For me it was Doom Patrol. it completely blew me away, and rearranged my views of the world. 'Superheroes fight Magic Realism' feels like a premise tailor-made for me.
