Am very grateful that people I follow on mastadon are good and clever but also don't mind telling me when I am wrong / biased in the most agreeable ways - so I can stop and go 'No in this instance I AM the Asshole' and so strive to do better.

Y'all rock.

Thank you.

::sigh::

The source material of Sherlock Holmes stories don't deserve whatever abomination this Guy Ritchie version is going to result in..

Also stop casting people in their mid 20's to play teenagers !

“In Young Sherlock we’re going to see an exhilarating new version of the detective everyone thinks they know in a way they’ve never imagined before."

Yeah. Sure.

Cause a sweary, misogynistic, violent Sherlock has never been done before evah ! 😒😑

@Faintdreams oh no the acting dynasty nepotism 😞
I hate when an actor I dislike ruins a show I would otherwise be all over

Faintdreams,
@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

@pancaitiff yup - I don't 100 % agree with most 'oh it's nepotism' arguments - buuuut when it's obvious WOO BOY is it obvious !

So a Screenwriter - selling a course on adapting novels into screenplays - titled his Linked-In article post

"Why is the film always better than the book?"

Aaaaaand I know it's 'I wanna sell you something clickbait'.. but no.

This is demonstrably not true.

What examples immediately spring to mind for you ?

@irina

I don't recommend anyone read the book American Psycho - and the film is a specific acquired taste.

Fight Club is a VASTLY SUPERIOR film to the source material. Even even the books' author admits it.

@Faintdreams Yeah, there's a particular way of leaving stuff out which will be filled in by the actors, the set dressers, or the special effects department, which is very hard not to notice once one has spotted it.

Ah. Thanks brain.

Of course the Vampire fiction that smooshes Tudor history together with modern Supernatural Fiction appeals.

It's because you've had hyper focus on both since - forever 🙄

Duh.

@Faintdreams I like both of these topics a lot too! (Though it’s hard if something plays too fast and loose with the history or specifically the clothing, which has been my particular interest.)

What is said fiction? I’m intrigued!

Faintdreams,
@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

@jonobie so far the books have more extensive history flashbacks and deal with the Tudor politics a lot more. :)

Me :: Silently ponders how publicly admitting I like vampire fiction will cause people to shun me when I know for a FACT that liking vampire fiction is almost normcore in it's universality ::

Being perceived is hard y'all.

@munroe I haven't forgotten about the vampire reccs - just whittling down a list and deciding how best to present the info.. :)

@munroe@dice.camp avatar

@Faintdreams
It's no big deal; I imagined we'd mention stuff as it came to us. I have not been making a list, though I'd like to see what you recommend to me first before I recommend anything else.
(Anyway, I made two recommendations already.)

(Also, I am not diagnosed as autistic, or any autism spectrum-related condition, but I believe I experience anxiety similar to PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance/Persistent Drive for Autonomy), so I try not to make things feel like obligations.)

:: Opens YouTube ::

What's this ?

"The Complete History of science Fiction" you say?

In 23 minutes?

Yet it only covers English (UK and American) works?

And Mary Shelly is the only woman mentioned!

And everyone else is White !

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Wow.

FFS.

😑🤨

numberw1tch,

@Faintdreams sounds like they are missing a lot in this "complete history"

Regarding my last re-toot and the AI created pop tune to convince people that (re-introduction of) National Service (conscription) is a good thing, YUP that's PRECISELY THE DYSTOPIAN SHIT I IMAGINED THIS TECH would mostly be used for.

Rishi Sunak [current UK Prime Minister] is such an awkward, socially inept chump.. I can't even..

Every single time he's seen interacting with people outside his own social sphere/bubble it's obvious he has no idea how to interact. Every Time.

Book 19 - 2024 (cont) "Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins - Beauregard Lionett"
Graphic Novel

My one (tiny) complaint is that at 52 pages it felt a little short - but it's a quality bound, small format hard cover, and does have 4 back pages of character development sketches.

I think I'm just used to books that are Sandman / Saga length, and those are prob not representative of the averge Trade Paperback/Hardback comic any more
