Why do you think you can give Jane Austen’s heroine “a personality”? If she envisaged and created her as timid, quiet, and largely ignored by those she loves girl, then it was to the purpose? If she created her a gentle, thoughtful, unassuming, and merciful lady, then she meant it exactly like that, not because Austen was less clever than you and couldn’t create a “modern” heroine? While none of these qualities exclude sense, brain, originality, and strength of character. Isn’t that already a personalty, like it or not? You’ve no right to cross out heroine’s real personality just because you cannot understand, appreciate, or properly portray it, and turn her, instead, into another instagram girl or an underbread tomboy with no understanding of time and society, just to suit your vanity. Total absence of manners is NOT an equivalent of cleverness, wit, and free spirit; Jane Austen doesn’t deserve the insult to have those carefully and thoughtfully written characters portrayed as clovns. Go give a personality to Hugo’s Cosette or any other of those pretty-faced and empty-headed heroines who inhabit victorian era novels so densily, and have nothing but beauty to boast of. (Not to scold Hugo though, he had his own genius; - tbh, Cosette here is just the latest specimen of the kind I discovered, but one may safely write the name of any victorian heroine fitting the description, there are a lot of- and, yeah, I admit that the Cosette-child had a great deal more character than the adult- ; But I think Jane Austen had at least several-levels more qualified understanding of female characters than most victorian writers generally did).

Movies made around the 2010s to 2016 or so have a level of entertainment that cannot be replicated.
They don’t even have to be good (cough cough twilight cough cough) to be entertaining their just really addictive.
The hunger games movies, the hobbit trilogy, the twilight saga, the hangover movies, the Harry Potter movies, the maze runner movies.
This might be because a lot of them are based on books but still, I think it’s also because the scripts are really well developed, even if the writing is bad.

Book-to-Movie/TV Adaptations From Black Writers
Did you know that only 160+ movies/shows have been adapted from books by Black authors since 1908? 4 of these were sci-fi/fantasy. Of the 160+ adaptations, 61 are adaptations of 2 books. Meanwhile, in YA alone, 50+ adaptations have been released in the past 20 years, half of which were sci-fi/fantasy. But that's not all.
My findings can be found in the essay, "Dear Hollywood, Where Are the SFF Book-to-Movie/TV Adaptations From Black Writers?" over on Reactormag.com, previously Tor.com.
Also, be sure to check out:

Sad to say goodbye to Michael Gambon, who played Mr. Thomas Holbrook in Cranford, as well as Mr. Woodhouse in Emma (2009).

My heart goes out to all the Shadow and Bone fans. I'm so sorry about the cancelation. I'm not really a part of the fandom but I understand completely, having gone through the same thing 6 months ago with Lockwood and Co. Capitalism has once again shown its ugly side. I hope you guys get picked up by a platform who cares about their subscribers/audience.
Sincerely,
A (still) devastated Lockwood and Co fan

What I desperately need is a proper movie adaptation of Ella Enchanted. With banister sliding friendship and Ella refusing to marry Char when ordered because she knows her curse could be used against him
The 2004 movie can go die in the pits of hell

Edward (Robin Ellis) proposes to Elinor (Joanna David) in the 1971 BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensibility.
"I have longed for this moment from the instant of our first meeting. Dear, dear Elinor. Would you - could you possibly -?" "No, Edward, no!" "But why?" "Well, the gravel is much too damp. We had a shower earlier this morning. There - if you must be so foolish, take that." "Oh, prudent, practical Elinor! How could anyone fail to love you?"

what do you mean we're finally going to be able to listen the songs in daisy jones and the six??? what do you mean they're actually going to be real songs we can obsess over??? that's so wild and cool and out of this world. like i was reading the book and i just thought 'they sound like they make great fucking songs i wish i could actually listen to them because i just know they would be great' AND SOON WE WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO THOSE SONGS
if that isn't crazy and if it doesn't make you smile so hard you should read that book again

Coraline, by Neil Gaiman & P. Craig Russell (Illustrator)
Tumblr media
When Coraline steps through a door in her family's new house, she finds another house, strangely similar to her own (only better). At first, things seem marvelous. The food is better than at home, and the toy box is filled with fluttering wind-up angels and dinosaur skulls that crawl and rattle their teeth. But there's another mother there and another father, and they want her to stay and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go. Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and all the tools she can find if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.
I've been wanting to read the book for a while, and then during my internship I started reading every Neil Gaiman comics I could get my hands on (minus Sandman and his work for DC). I really love the movie so seeing this version of Coraline was weird, but it helped me see them as two separate things, which was a plus. I've got to admit, I don't really remember my reading experience, I only remember liking it a lot and it making me want to rewatch the movie and finally read the book, haha
French version under the cut
Lorsque Coraline passe une porte dans la nouvelle maison de ses parents, elle découvre une autre maison, étrangement semblable à la sienne (mais en mieux). Au début, tout semble merveilleux. La nourriture y est meilleure qu'à la maison, et le coffre à jouets est rempli d'anges mécaniques volants et de crânes de dinosaures qui rampent et claquent des dents. Mais il y existe aussi d'autres parents, copies conformes des vrais avec des boutons cousus à la place des yeux. Coraline devra employer toute son intelligence et tous les outils à sa disposition pour se sauver et retourner à sa vie ordinaire.
Je voulais lire le livre depuis un moment puis pendant mon stage je me suis mise à lire tous les comics de Neil Gaiman auxquels j’avais accès (sauf Sandman et ses comics pour DC). J’aime énormément le film donc voir cette version de Coraline était bizarre, mais ça m’a aidé à les voir comme deux choses séparées, ce qui est un plus. Je vous avoue que je me souviens pas bien de ma lecture, je me souviens juste avoir beaucoup aimé et avoir eu envie de revoir le film et d’enfin lire le livre, haha

regency-set (or indeed any) period drama be like:
every other character: * more or less accurately dressed; at least the main aspects of historical costume are preserved in outfits and hairstyless *
the main heroine: * loose hair, vamp make, prom dress / male suit *
the filmmakers: You simply don’t get it; she’s a nonconforming free-spirit. She’s modern, you know? We wanted to give her a personality what

Can you imagine that instead of so many remakes they took movies where they screwed up monumentally the first time and they, like, try to do it properly for once?

AhJuicy?! Is that You Playa? Coming over the Himalayas?

Well… I guess we really made this story blow up. Because if this is true, I’m 100% ready to watch this. I hope they don’t drop the smut. I think it’s really corny when they do.
I mean we made it big cause the smut was top tier, and the story sweet. So why short change us that way?
