The Odyssey is a poem rather than a book?

recognitions can engage in a back-and-forth dialogue. Barsanti has no reason to actually read the comments of readers he has contempt for.

The article I quoted from?

You’re thinking of “Yar” or “Arr”.

Saturday Night Live apparently hasn’t looked up what Dave Chappelle has been up to lately

Someone else cited Sherlock being accused of it despite Mark Gatiss:

People at least say Causeways has good lead performances in it, which might be what she’s interested in for her long-term career.

Wasn’t this premise already used not that long ago in Charlie McDowell’s “The Discovery”?

Maybe it was a year before the two Pinnochios this year, but it was two years after the 2019 one (which was actually the second to feature Roberto Benigni).

Hey, funny is good. When has something been too funny? Presumably just outside the genre of “comedy”. I guess there’s that Funniest Joke in the World that kills people via laughter, the exception that proves the rule.

Worth noting that Stalenhag also created “Tales from the Loop”.

Thomasin McKenzie is going to be in a film adaptation of “Eileen”, and after “Leave No Trace” I’m not sure how consciously she’s trying to follow in Lawrence’s footsteps.

If the child gets a cookie, perhaps. But “Good job” would not qualify as commercial in my book.

Eh, a child doodling is making non-commercial art. That’s been my go-to example against the claim that “all art is political” as well, though I also tend to throw in the final scene from Velvet Buzzsaw where John Malkovich’s character is making lines in beach sand with a stick even as they get washed away.

Understandable when you’ve got a lot of child actors who are going to grow up. Game of Thrones had that issue, although I believe Maisie Williams & her two younger “brothers” were younger than the D&D group in the first season of Stranger Things.

the later books had massive issues in themselves

Game of Thrones was able to make relatively faithful adaptation choices early on because it was adapting books that both existed and were relatively condensed. The last two books in the series are ostensibly one book split geographically with lots of new POV characters in many different places, and the very last book…

The Godfather is faithful. It doesn’t contain everything in the book (as is normal for any film adapting a novel rather than a short story), but the stuff that is retained is very often word-for-word identical.

I’m a fan of Flanagan’s movies, but it was a fundamentally bad idea to try to adapt that particular story as an 8+ episode family drama series, a genre that doesn’t permit retaining the book’s ending even though so much of the preceding material had been building up to that. There’s plenty of good stuff in that…
