Most of these movies draw huge crowds from people who were already fans of the books. Many book inspired movies do an amazing job of taking what is on the pages, and putting it into movies.

2 Good Video Game Tropes and 1 Bad Trope
2 Good Video Game Tropes and 1 Bad Trope
Within video games there are many common tropes which developers use to fill time in between large events in the story. Some of these “in-between tropes,” as I have decided to call them, can help in worldbuilding, can help keep different sections of the game organized, and more. Some of these tropes are good, and can be fun and memorable, while others are bad, and can seem uninspired.

Lovecraft and Racism

Death of the Author
Death of the Author
The Death of the Author is a concept in literary criticism. The idea states that people have no inability to create any individual idea. The concept further states that due to this lack of an ability to create a wholly original idea, an author also is not able to assign specific meaning to their writing.
