just muttering to mutter cuz I find it fun to have meaningless opinions but having watched the trailer for The Fall of the House of Usher, I really just feel like everyone should sit down and read What Moves The Dead by T. Kingfisher instead

#it's not even long! it's less than a hundred pages! and it is fucking incredible! #WHERE IS THE EPONYMOUS FALLING HOUSE. THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS A LITERAL HOUSE FALLING ALONG WITH THE FAMILY. #to be clear this is not 'don't pit two bad bitches against each other' this is 'one of them understood the assignment and one did not' #I have adaptation opinions okay. and I AM fucking qualified to have them. #to be clear it doesn't look like a BAD show by any means! it just looks like...... every other mike flanagan show. #which isn't Bad it's just like. he's very much a one trick pony okay. he's very good at his one trick! but I need a little more than that #also like. it feels like otherwise rewatch succession? idk man. what are we doing here. #the variety plot summary reads like they decided to slap a poe name on it so the sacklers couldn't sue them for libel #and I'm like. the sacklers couldn't. and if they tried they would lose bro. #the more I think about this the more incensed I am about it #like this is a different concept entirely my dude!!! #stop trying to back up all of your shit with existing IP and own the fact that you're trying to do something original #it straight up feels like original content has become a crime in hollywood and I am SICK OF IT
