pretty sure that the result would be mass starvation due to supply chains being unable to adjust to a doubling of the population overnight and a catastrophic housing shortage.

It's been years since I read the book. Was Bev going back to her house in the book or are you referring to a different part?

Either way it looks pretty great.

Bev going back to her house is in the book and it looks like they kept most of the dialogue too (“my fadder joined the circus”). It’s a genuinely unsettling sequence that slowly reveals itself

IIRC the first Zombieland movie was roughly the first few episodes of the show they wanted to do in the first place.

The story is that the writers wanted to do a zombie television series and wrote a spec TV pilot for CBS in 2005. CBS expressed some interest but ultimately never moved forward with filming because they thought it would be too expensive. They then pitched it to Sony TV whose executives were receptive but suggested the project would work better as a made-for-TV movie that could serve as a backdoor pilot to a larger series. They redeveloped the script as a made-for-TV movie, which Sony TV held onto for a few years before sending it back with the suggestion that they redevelop that script as a feature film for Sony Pictures.

A lot of the weirder elements from the film were written with a television series in mind. If I remember correctly, each episode was meant to open with a "Zombie Kill of the Week" and end with Eisenberg's character learning another rule for zombie survival. The biggest change from the TV script to the final film was giving the characters a specific destination instead of having them just wander aimlessly.

Oh wow. This could be good... but the trailer doesn't say much except it's clearly about racism (like most Lovecraft stories, but clearly in the opposite way Lovecraft would have done, the racist rear end). Can't wait to see more though.

It's a very good book. Most of the chapters center on a different member of the central family dealing with some horror trope and the menace of racism, with the beginning and ending wrapping it together in one neat package. It does a nice job of skewering Lovecraft and inverting his storytelling.

Very interested in seeing what Peele does with it.

Not liking Hamilton is perfectly acceptably (it has its issues, especially as it pertains to how little attention it gives to slavery and the genocide of Native Americans), but it will never not be funny to me that a lot of goons, C-SPAM people in particular, adored the musical when they first heard about it in 2015 and then did a complete 180 when the show achieved mainstream popularity.

The style's great but giving Nurse Ratched a complex and dramatic backstory flies directly in the face of the source material.

Then again, I don't think Netflix cares and it could be fun if Ryan Murphy just lets it descend into campy dark comedy.

IIRC Matt Reeves or maybe Pattinson has hinted the movie deals with Bruce Wayne being a depressed and mentally fragile person who becomes the Batman as a way to deal with trauma rather than just being a Punisher-who-doesn't-kill-people masquerading as a womanizing playboy.

If this is what I think it is a take on the first act of Dracula it looks really interesting, but the fact that it's directed by LaBute (same director as Cage's Wickerman) makes me think it's not gonna be good.

im always extremely skeptical of these stories about marilyn monroe because they are so outrageously over the top and seem deliberately crafted to reinforce an image of her as a stupid hick

like, i have no doubt that she had bad habits but i cannot imagine a woman in hollywood would survive if she was known for walking in soiled clothing AND being unable to maintain a home AND never bathing AND having IBS.


e: also i just checked the sourced book on the Internet Archive and, unless the search functionality is broken, none of those quotes appear anywhere in there
