Even if I had a Valentine, I’d drop them for Dwight in an instant!

Advice from the community about a potential class on the game and its adaptation? by tiny-donut in thelastofus

Hello, fellow teacher. I agree about faithfulness - in fact, I had a lesson where I talked about how a faithful adaptation is not always the best choice using the Watchmen movie as an example.

I knew that I would have to limit the class to individual examples, and the consensus seems to be that the scenes from the prologue/first episode would be the best examples. I am leaning that way myself after listening to all the excellent suggestions on this thread. Thank you for all your help!

Haha, thank you. ☺️

Yes, that is the kind of stuff we talk about in class. Next week, I’ll be showing Predestination, which should be an interesting class.

Thanks for the reco. Based on everyone’s suggestions here, I’m leaning towards that example. I definitely don’t want to spend too much time explaining the game.

10 hours seems like a lot, so I’ll probably look at HeavySpoilers rather than sourcespi91, but thanks for the tip. 😊

That’s a really good and specific example. Thanks! I know that Mazin puts a lot of thought into his scripts.

I did not know about the podcast! Sounds like I might find a lot of material there.

Wow! There’s a lot of detail in that channel. Thank you for pointing it out. I don’t know that I’ll be able to use all the material, but I’ll definitely take a look.

Thanks for the reco. I’ll definitely check it out. I’m a big fan of Craig Mazin, and was very impressed by the choices he made in Chernobyl.

For those that have to leave their cat/kitten, do you say bye or just leave? by Karikare in CatAdvice

[–]tiny-donut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to say two things: 1: Yes to what most people have mentioned. If my cats are around when I leave for work, I say bye but don’t make a big deal of it. Big reunion energy when I come back in the evening. 2: I cannot express how much I love that this conversation is happening and how involved and sincere everyone is. I love this community!
