so I’m rewatching the anime on netflix, haven’t watched in a long time and it’s so good in so many ways. I was thinking before this footage that its success will depend entirely on budget. But I think Faye here was miscast, need more of a Maggie Q caliber actress for that role but we’ll see.

did they put a poison in the hollywood water around the late 2000s that made everyone unable to act or write or create good sets or what. looks awful. lol that they put in a few of the standard movie quips in the trailer. love to see spike spiegel do an exaggerated double take and say 'what the actual gently caress??'

no they’re making fanfic set during the Akallabêth

also Timequake isn’t “unfilmable” it would just be a really, really lovely movie

e: Slaughterhouse 5 and Sirens of Titan are much more unfilmable imo. idk what book of Kurt’s would make a good movie, maybe Cat’s Cradle if you absolutely bullseye Jonah Felix and Frank but they’re not going to cast an ugly giant Angela

edit: if were adapting novels into movies can we finally do a Stephenson movie, i don't even care if it sucks we should just try it. Maybe leave out the rape scenes

edit 2: brendan fraser would make a rather tall batgirl but I can't wait tbh

If you liked the show read the Morrison run of the comics. They're really weird and good.

I liked the '72 adaptation of Slaughterhouse-Five as a straight story, obviously lacking because it cut all the weird, meta, and better parts of the book. If they wanted to make a limited series they could find room for that, but if they're going to go for an adaptation, they should really adapt it for the medium instead of trying to act out the book as written.

It should open with a meeting where a film crew talks about how they're going to wow the audiences by ending it with one of the major characters being executed for taking a toy train in the wreckage of the firebombing of Dresden, arguing about whether they want a big name for the role or a more seasoned character actor, and the logistics of how many extras they need and what level of graphic violence the studio will allow.

that’s not really adapting anything from Slaughterhouse V it’s just a completely different thing

true story gangnam style is actually a fairly unsubtle satire about the buffoonish upper class culture of southeastern seoul that attempts to mask their conspicuous consumption through trends that seem chic to them but goofy to everyone else

weird how this didnt inspire a revolution against those cultural norms but instead served to amplify and trendify them for better international export but im sure squid game will be different
