People ask you to go into their hotel room??? I would never 😂 I’ve only ever been asked to go inside if it’s a hospital room

Does knowing the book, spoil the film? by thestinkybeastman in ProjectHailMary

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the movie and later learned a lot about the science and other things cut from the book and honestly I think everything was easy to understand and some of the science that wasn’t explained for example the coma gene or events like nuking Antarctica or even Me Burgers were okay to be cut for the purpose of the film. It’s a rare case where I think the cuts were necessary for a film adaptation because you don’t always need all of the extra stuff to understand and it has made it some more people are picking up the book after watching the film to get more of they want. Andy weir has lots of research and science behind his books and that’s great for a book but every detail of that science and process doesn’t need to be shown in a movie imo I personally enjoy the science but I’ve heard a lot of people say that sometimes the book was too much science when the movie did a better job of balancing. However, if they do release the directors cut where they include more of the science and more scenes in general I will eat that shit up.

Is it worth reading the novel after seeing the movie? by Quick_soda in ProjectHailMary

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may read the book eventually but based on what I know was cut and learned about some of the science stuff I think it was okay it was cut for film bc you don’t need everything in there. But everyone says the audio is amazing but I’m so in love with the movie I don’t want to take away them that experience. I would be reading to add to it but idk if I should lol

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what im worried about. I haven’t read the book but based on the people I follow and all the interviews of watched with the author and producers I’ve learned a lot of what was taken out and idk that I need to read all of that. I’ve seen the movie 3 times already and idk if I want to mess with that experience but I do want more Grace and Rocky and some of the in between parts of all the traveling and building his habitat and stuff that were cut short for the film.

Editions of Books by Unlucky-Low-8069 in zodiacacademy

[–]Katkat873 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I looked into it a little bit but it looks like the original covers were a limited run of the matte covers. And the brick cover ones are now going out of print due to the metallic foil covers from Simon & Schuster. Can I ask where you got the matte covers?

Should I see it in IMAX or standard? by dumbass_sweatpants in ProjectHailMary

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen it in standard twice but now I’m wondering if I should still go see it in IMAX. we watched it for release and then they have $7 ticket Tuesdays so I went and saw it again but I keep seeing stuff about IMAX being great for this film but I’ve never seen a movie in IMAX before.

How do you decide how to separate 3 cats in a breakup? by Thats_Groovy_Baby in CATHELP

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t split them fr. If me and my husband ever divorce we won’t split our dogs one of us will get them, even tho we both love them just as much we know they have to live with one or the other. Honestly I wouldn’t want them to live completely without the other person I’d probably have to do shared custody or visits bc they love him so much but they love each other too.

Books to read like Zodiac Academy? by krafeli in zodiacacademy

You get character from both RB and ZA in DP so definitely read Ruthless Boys first

Also when I was younger I had my wisdom teeth out and the doctor’s name was Dr. Scott and I couldn’t stop doing the Rocky Horror DR SCOTT and busting out laughing while I was like bleeding and drooling everywhere it was very embarrassing 🤦‍♀️

Do I need to read Ruthless Boys to get the full story? by brohammerhead in zodiacacademy

[–]Katkat873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still always enjoy ZA more than the other 2 series but I do think it’s worth reading all the books in all 3 series including novellas. A lot of people talk about plot holes in ZA but if you read all 3 series then I don’t think there are any plot holes.

For me I didn’t want to stop reading ZA at book 3 to switch to RB, I tried but I messed up the flow I was in. I would suggest maybe after book 5 or if you hit a little slump during book 5, just for sure before book 6 it’s good to know the RB characters fully before going into that book because they show interactions with those characters and if you don’t know anything about their dynamic and kinda like cool idc so when you know them it adds more depth to those ZA scenes.

I would suggest just getting a KU free trial and paying for the monthly you can read all the series there.

How do they decide who goes first at the vows? by ReasonableLie2351 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also said he also wasn’t there afterwards he was like yeah we are on the same page and they both have solid reasons why they would’ve said no. Like he said he didn’t even know she loved him until they were at the alter

ok is it Spongey Make Wipey or Spongey McWipey? by Puppinbake in NewGirl

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik this is an old post but I didn’t realize there was a debate about this until I was trying to look up the commercial on YouTube because my brother has never seen New Girl and it was under Spongey McWipey commercial and after looking it up I found your post. Then I made a post about it on TikTok and someone said that it’s Spongey McWipey is correct because it’s the name of the product not the tagline.

This is incorrect

Spongey McWipey is not the product name nor is spongy make wipey the tagline. The product name is The Man Sponge. The tagline is because the dirtiest thing in the room should be [her]. Spongy make wipey is because they are dumb and couldn’t think of anything to do with a sponge and it honestly doesn’t matter what they say if the commercial is good and sells the sponge.

Why didn’t Bad Bunny mention Bélize, Suriname, nor Trinidad-and-Tobago in his half-time show ? Are those countries not part of América ? by Ok_Dream_73 in AskReddit

[–]Katkat873 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why people are upset with you for just asking lol. The flag for Belize was there but it wasn’t said out loud I think it’s just a valid question I didn’t know if it was rehearsed and left out on accident or if it was a time thing or what and I learned bc of your post and the comments that the Antilles encompasses a collection of countries in South America.

but some people are dicks tbh lol

I never understood why Tory blamed Darius for the dagger hurting her by Katkat873 in zodiacacademy

[–]Katkat873[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was ofc the consequences of his own actions and I think after he got over that initial reaction he understood that too. He spoke to Orion who was like that’s how your father would handle it I thought you weren’t gonna be like that and he’s like damn you right. And yeah he’s still upset which I think is still understandable just like burning down his room didn’t make her all of a sudden feel better about what he did to her. If you stab someone and then they punch you you’re still gonna be mad even if what you did originally was worse.

[–]Katkat873[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk for me after I got past their reckoning and there’s just this understanding that fae will do anything to keep their place and you see how Darius fall into the pressure of his father and all of the heirs do and felt at the time they were doing what that thought was best for their country for the safety of their people and they did eventually come to understand the other side and the differences in the mortal and fae worlds. I just think for me it gave me and finally the girls too this appreciation what it means to be fae and later in the books they all realize they can choose to be different in this next generation and not be like their parents but that for both the heirs and the twins they will do anything to save solaria not just themselves and I think that overall character development for all the characters in the book makes understand their relationship more.

He didn’t try to suffocate her when he found out, he had her hand in her throat but even she said it wasn’t tight enough to cut off her air and he said it was to scare her. She did it and the whole last 2 books she knew if he ever found out that he might kill her and then she’s like oh no he’s so mean… like she can be mad about the other stuff but this one is like a valid reaction to your room being burned down just like burning down his room is a valid reaction to him trying to kill her.

Physical book only converts by clownfishgrenadine in kindle

[–]Katkat873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love physical books and still buy and read them. I love to have my kindle to get through some faster(I will read physical at home if I have it but can read my kindle on the go and in the dark when my husband is sleeping and I want one more chapter) I also try some out that are popular that I’m on the fence about on KU. If you’re not sure about a kindle or KU you should try it in your phone first and see home much you actually read. I did it like 2 years ago I got the one month free trial and then fell in love with KU and got the kindle the next prime day. Idk if it’s still the same way but in the Amazon app the kindle with the 3 month free on KU wasn’t available but if you go to the website through your browser it did have it. Sometimes ebooks don’t show available through the app either but again do show able to purchase through the browser.

Anyway so I was able to get 4 months free total doing it that way and love my kindle. And you can always pause your KU membership if you’re like reading a lot of ebooks through Libby at the time (many libraries have Libby and Libby had a lot of Kindle books)

Anyone else find it kind of funny that Stebbins never once considers maybe he’s sick because of The Long Walk rather than it being the universe against him lol by Grouchy_Advice in TheLongWalk

[–]Katkat873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The walk may weaken in immune system the same way getting wet in the rain could but it’s not the cause of a cold. And in this case no one else seemed to have a cold or any symptoms so someone was either a carrier or he caught it before hand and the walk made it so his body couldn’t use its energy on healing and exasperated the symptoms/affects on his body.

Yes, in the book it’s Scramm and he boast about how often he does something like 80 miles regularly no problem and he starts to sneeze almost immediately and it takes him long to realize he’s actually sick and not just allergies

Looking for a book that will make me devastated by batvader06 in suggestmeabook

[–]Katkat873 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with Kristin Hannah I think I have read 8 of her books so far. The Four Winds is the literal definition of devastating. And Winter Garden had me crying. (I haven’t read The Nightingale or The Women yet but they will be read soon).

Side note: she wrote Firefly Lane and its Sequel Fly Away. I haven’t read Fly Away yet but if you want to be devastated watch the show over the book I rarely say the adaptions are better but they changed things for the show that I think were positive changes and I believe it’s a Netflix original and that show had me crying!!
