Here are a collection of them that I would recommend others interested in the genre.Do let me know your thoughts in the comments! The Witcher (2019) The…

The Spectacular Now (2013)

Directed by: James Ponsoldt

Written by: Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber

Rated R for cursing, underage drinking and some drug use, and teens having sex.

Movie Synopsis: Sutter loves to party, drink, and has no plans for the future. Aimee is a nice girl who isn't part of the big crowds. The two find themselves attracted to each other despite being polar opposites after Sutter wakes up in Aimee's garden.

Review 3.4 stars

The Spectacular Now is a film that shows us the lives of teenagers in a raw way. It doesn't care for overcomplicated drama or flashy lifestyles; it simply flows through the motions from the perspective of "God's favorite drunk" Sutter Keely. However, production-wise the scenes feel short and distressed. Time flies by and relationships develop but as a viewer we aren't given enough time to process them before moving on to the next thing in order to fit into the hour-and-a-half time frame. This causes the characters -that feel like real-life teenagers- to lose their depths as well as time to explore their insecurities and complexities as humans. All in all good film and concept, but the editing and composition of the film leaves a lot to be desired.

Not A Book Friday

Apparently this movie was actually based on two books by Diane Mott Davidson, Catering for Nobody and Dying for Chocolate. Both books in the Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery series.

In the movie (and the book) Goldy Berry is a caterer, who, when one of her friends dies, finds herself on the case at first because she sees something that the lead detective, Tom Schultz, doesn’t see it (it’s food related, so, it does make sense). And then, she gets bitten by the amateur detective bug, and has to see the case through.

One big difference between this movie and the book is that while it’s based on the books, they have taken the husband character down to a much nicer level. He and Goldy aren’t always best friends in the movie, but, he's not in any way the same sort of character as in the book. Not surprising since while this is a mystery movie, it’s still a Hallmark mystery movie.

people trying to insist a fandom is tiny when it /only/ has a few thousand works on ao3 meanwhile my current fandom is a sixteen book series and has several hundred fewer works than goncharov, a movie that, and i cannot stress this enough, doesn’t even exist

#measuring the size of fandoms based on their goncharov index #this has been a useless text post you may now resume your normal programming #rote has a goncharov index of 0.63 #for perspective ofmd has an index of 26.5 #spn's is 360.8 #the cosmere is 2.26 for a fantasy book comparison #i am very normal #post

Relay Recommends!

Black Cake [Hulu]

Click here to learn about the show and Click here to learn about the book!

Recommended by Brittany Butler, Operations Coordinator for the 2.0 Instructional Team Review: An awesome series based on a novel by the same name. It was a refreshing watching and kept my interest until the end! Description: [of the book] In present-day California, Eleanor Bennett’s death leaves behind a puzzling inheritance for her two children, Byron and Benny: a black cake, made from a family recipe with a long history, and a voice recording. In her message, Eleanor shares a tumultuous story about a headstrong young swimmer who escapes her island home under suspicion of murder. The heartbreaking tale Eleanor unfolds, the secrets she still holds back, and the mystery of a long-lost child challenge everything the siblings thought they knew about their lineage and themselves. Can Byron and Benny reclaim their once-close relationship, piece together Eleanor’s true history, and fulfill her final request to “share the black cake when the time is right”? Will their mother’s revelations bring them back together or leave them feeling more lost than ever? Recommended Audience: Everyone (whether or not they work in education)

Deep Water

After reading Marathon Man and rewatching the movie of it, I am going to dive deep into the novel of Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith and rewatch the movie. Will write my thoughts on the two and the differences.

If anybody has recommendations send them by Ask or just message me.
