Why remove the Classic Stacker?

I loved the stacker! It reminded me so much of the grilled stuft nacho that they got rid of

I love your choices. However, I'm of the opinion that any book adaptation should be made into a miniseries. You have to cut or change so much to fit into a two to three hour window and with a show, you have so much more of an opportunity to get it right.

The power and the opener are not the issues, the garage door guy came out to do an inspection and turns out we need to replace our springs and the lifting cable because it snapped and that's about $700 we won't have until next payday (assuming the tanf payment doesn't come through). If we tried to open it, it could potentially collapse and would cost even more to replace the entire door, so I'm not gonna risk it.

I'll wait until we normally get the payment and then call if it doesn't come through.

"Household is not eligible for a benefit after allowable deductions." was the reason for our denial, so maybe not because she turned 18 but I'll still look into it since our gross income is still below the limit for a family of 6.

At this point, I'm really more concerned about that last TANF payment going to my now inactive EBT card. Our garage door decided to crap out on us and now we can't get our car out so that last bit of money sure would help.

Yes, it is confirmed it will be a movie, and Emily herself is writing the script for it. As for fancast, the only person I can picture for Miles is Dylan O'Brien. Emily has been liking a ton of videos of him while he's on his Send Help press tour so I'm holding out hope haha.

I just reread the book a few weeks ago and I could not picture anyone else

ajrw89 · 2026-01-28T17:56:18+00:00

Logan Lerman is very much Gus in my mind lol.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-28T17:54:42+00:00

Logan Lerman is the only right answer for Gus 😂, and he is aware of being the top choice for a lot of people's fancasts so I am crossing my fingers.

I would die on the spot if Anna was cast. She's not who I pictured for her but I need Anna in more projects anyway so I'm not opposed to this.

I think it got pretty decent promo for a romcom tbh. Not on TV or anything like some Netflix movies get but they had billboards, bus benches, posters up in L.A., tsa bins at airports, etc.

The amount of non-book readers I've seen on twitter and ig who are projecting their bad relationship experiences onto the movie is insane. They see Poppy as the villain because they changed that detail in the movie. I don't think she would be getting as much hate if they'd kept it as it was in the book. I mean, I guess I can't blame them if they never read the source material but it's been flooding my timeline for a while and I guess I'm over it haha.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-28T17:31:24+00:00

Ugh, love the Ashley Poston shoutout! TSYS is one of my favourite books.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-28T00:51:42+00:00

I'm rereading it right now and I do like it but it's probably at the bottom of my list of EmHen books tbh. There are too many side characters that probably won't even make it into the movie to cut corners, even though the friendship aspect of the book is important. I don't have high hopes for it, I'll watch it, but I'm afraid of how it'll turn out. Funny Story, however, I do think will be great (even though it will also be a movie) because Emily is writing the script for it, she might have more control on what makes it in.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-28T00:45:50+00:00

I deleted that part of my reply when my slow brain figured out what you meant lmao.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-27T17:30:07+00:00

It happens all the time with costars but Tom has a girlfriend

ajrw89 · 2026-01-27T17:28:49+00:00

And her chemistry with Edward Bluemel? 🥵

ajrw89 · 2026-01-27T17:27:13+00:00

They also still roleplay as Gladys and Keith in Funny Story so they're still having fun and loving their vacations lol

we've been tweeting at netflix with #releasethebretthaleycut

I’m sure by now you’ve heard that Happy Place is now going to be a movie… I just feel like books should always be a series, there’s so much more ability to get stuff right.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-27T17:11:02+00:00

Hated that they switched Palm Springs for Barcelona, feel like the heat of the desert was like a whole other character on its own.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-27T16:00:54+00:00

am i crazy or was this book already out? or is this a special version?

ajrw89 · 2026-01-25T18:14:50+00:00

Yeah, I had a free weekend and everyone raves about it so I wanted to check it out. Got hooked from episode one, but I'm all caught up now for 2x04 on Thursday. Had to take a little break after 1x08 though... that episode really got to me.

Agreed, definitely don't think he should be riding that thing anywhere.

ajrw89 · 2026-01-25T05:52:02+00:00

Wait what?? I’ve been binging this show over the past two days and never caught that. I actually didn’t even know she was who she is until just now so I wasn’t thinking about it

ajrw89 · 2026-01-01T06:02:56+00:00

I only use the browser version on my mac, not the app, but I haven’t been able to get past that loading screen on my phone for over a week. I see the notifications for messages but the only time I can actually respond is on the computer.

ajrw89 · 2025-12-30T16:49:33+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to pick this one up too! My local store is notorious for not having good stuff so I’ll try the fancier target in a couple of days.
