i had too much chocolate today, so i am simultaneously tired and vibrating into the next dimension, so i guess i'm as ready as i'll ever be. #monsterdon
okay, finished The Day of the Triffids. a) much much better than the movie. when they said the movie didn't follow the book, what they meant was, "the movie took like three elements from the book, and just mucked everything up until it's not really even the same story." b) Mr Masen is an alright dude, eh? A+ for a 1950's more or less respectful guy. c) Susan IS in the book, she is a Bad Ass with a flamethrower and a hankering for revenge. A+++ #monsterdon
(wikipedia tells me there was an attempt at adapting Day of the Triffids in 1956, the script was written by a guy named Albert Broccoli. i mean...) #monsterdon
have a nice week, everybody. remember to carry the spirit of this movie with you into the work week. do whatever the hell you want and let the editing department do with it what they will! #monsterdon
okay, January has been such chaotic bullshit that I kinda forgot about it, but I did in fact finish The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic in January. I forgot how much the early ones read like Fantasy Douglas Adams. 💜 #Discworld
