The book does not have a happy ending. It’s more open-ended, but way more bleak, I think. In any case, maybe the movie ending could have worked, but definitely not in the hamfisted way they tried. It just felt like they did it different for the sake of doing something different.

I’ve seen him say he likes it, but I don’t know about “prefers”. I’ve still wondered how true that is though, like he’s trying to be supportive of the filmmaker or something. It didn’t seem like a clear, ringing endorsement, but that’s pure speculation on my part.

If I remember correctly, I think the only similarity between the book and movie of Lawnmower Man is a guy gets killed with a lawnmower. That it.

Counterpoint: That stupid ending killed any good will the movie earned. It wasn’t an amazing and shocking twist or anything. It was needless and pointless.

Go Vikings!

I was disagreeing with you at first, but then kind of talked myself into kind of agreeing with you. I think that’s the most compelling way to tell the story, but I do agree movies might not work well for that.

That said, I wasn’t really a big fan of the first one. It was okay, but I so many missed/poorly done…

Heh, I can kind of see why they didn’t include the hippie guy in the movie, but that scene plays out great in the book.

Why? Same characters, just different actors. One part informing the other works so great.

That said, no, it probably wouldn’t work for two movies, which is why I’ve always wanted It to get the 10 episodes HBO miniseries treatment (which they’re apparently doing with The Stand?)

I jumped on the Silicon Valley train a few seasons in. When I finally started watching it, I was like, “Oh no, this fuckin’ guy!?”

Now let Lizzo be Ursula.

Haha, one of the first things I thought when I saw the picture was, hmm, glasses and tie color game is on point.

Who has two thumbs and forgot to start Verlander on his fantasy team yesterday? This guy!

Kipnis is actually British, so he really said “Ou’re losing a damn good pitcher, you are!”. Barry was just cleaning it up for us Yanks.

Heh, I couldn’t take it anymore. Hit that Unfollow button awhile back.

I could never get past whatever that terrible song is that became popular.

Let’s do a personality test: your favorite?

Right?

This was my exact thought on watching this video.
