100 years of solitude if I remember is the hitjob on his home town and he thought it was better in translation than in spanish. Naturally that’s the one in every academics household with a bookcase. Not gonna lie while I liked the book I’m not so sure what audience this is for. You can’t not watch it and have it on the same way people own the book and don’t read it. I shouldn’t be so negative about it but so few of who I have met have read the book at all. Lots of people calling it romantic  Which actually ties into the Ted Cruz twitter video thing funny enough.

I’ve read it. It’s one of the more popular literary novels people have read in TBB. It’s taught in a lot of curriculums. It’s a solid book. It’s not romantic at all, though. Kinda happy it’s gonna be a series. It’s dense with characters and stories and covers five generations of a family and an town’s entire history. Read it.

The Netflix equivalent of this is playing the show while staring at your phone half the time and declaring it must-see television.

Skwirl posted:Did he? the article I read on the Netflix adaptation said one of the reasons it had never been adapted before was that Marquez wanted it to be in Spanish. His heirs went with Netflix because they actually have a good chunk of high quality self produced stuff that's in Spanish. It wouldn’t surprise me if the comment was apocryphal, although they are the heirs to a property which is dealing with themes that effectively make it what Sinclair’s “Main Street” is to the US as a social commentary. It being in Spanish would be the best thing either way, it’s soaked in the language and it’s perfectly fine in Spanish (albeit a lot more pages) Peacoffee fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Mar 6, 2019 |

Aside from the general stupidity of "Happy Death Day 2U is the first slasher about grief", how boring do you have to be to watch that and have this be what you talk away from it? And it's barely a slasher anyway because it focuses mainly on the sci-fi plot elements with the horror stuff basically being the subplot. The first one is the slasher film.

Coffee And Pie posted:loving I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is about the main character’s grief and PTSD A couple years back I found out that I Know What You Did Last Summer was very loosely based on a YA novel by that lady who wrote The Face on the Milk Carton. So I read that and it's kind of hilarious how they took that book and turned it into what the movie is. The book isn't a work of literary genius or anything but my god is the movie just a barely recognizable dipshit version of the book.

Speaking of YA horror, I used to love those Friday the 13th books. There was one about a nerd who finds Jason's mask in a hole in a tree and puts it on and basically hulks out. That poo poo ruled.

The I Know What You Did Last Summer book isn't even horror. It's a mystery novel. The author was very displeased with the movie. Oh, and look at the loving cover for it. I love this cover. The facial expressions, the poses, the entire situation depicted, that one guy looking exactly like Seth Green. It's delightful. Apparently later editions of it are "modernized" and mention beepers and cellphones or some poo poo.

Book covers of that era (especially Babysitters Club) has such a goofy artsyle that I love and want to see make a comeback
