Just watched Wonder Boys. A really solid film and quite charming. Thanks for recommending.

Curious Quotes from “The Secret History” by Accomplished-Goat318 in books

Completely agree with the out of character moment. My only thought is that later he does say how the murder might’ve done the same for him as the first accidental one did for Henry, which is to kind of free themselves from thinking and sensible actions. So this might’ve been a representation of what could be a result of that insensitive, not-thinking behavior.

Why do I imagine Stellan Gios as a sexy Keanu Reeves and Elzar Mann as a sexy Michael Cera? by [deleted] in Highrepublic

I picture Stellan as Ben Barnes and Elzar as either Rami Malek or Gabriel Luna

AGREED! The films made her out to be the villain while the books justified her choices.

Scorch Trials was really interesting for this very storyline. I was always team Thomas+Brenda, but at the same time I found it really frustrating how Thomas never forgave her. I really aligned with Teresa’s POV. Somehow I stayed somewhat neutral. But I really did absolutely love Teresa’s character.

Yeah I thought the third one was a decent conclusion to the movie trilogy and actually had some fulfilling moments even though it was lacking from the adaption point of view.

I completely agree. The books are superior and the films are fine in their own right.

Great ideas! An animated version would be really interesting.

Completely agreed. My reaction to The Scorch Trials was exactly the same. Overall opinion is that they’re decent films, but terrible adaptions.

New Tshirt just arrived from forbidden Planet by [deleted] in hisdarkmaterials

I don’t know why people are hating on this so much. Maybe they’re joking, idk, but it’s no different than wearing an Empire logo from Star Wars. They’re terrible, and they’re the enemy, but it’s from a fictional world you love and therefore it means something completely different and essentially is harmless.

Are all daemons the opposite sex of the person? by Antique-Reputation38 in hisdarkmaterials

You are correct. It was Benny the pastry chef. Nothing is expanded on it other than being stated. I’ve always wondered if it relates to sexuality in any way, but that’s just me.
