Grief of the Creature across various adaptations

#I’m sorry I’m not done with this brainriot yet 🥺 #Frankenstein #I like it when the Creature embraces Victor in the adaptations even though he doesn’t in the book #it feels right #he doesn’t do it in the vimeo musical or the 1994 film adaptation #he kinda does in the Puppet Opera but it’s hard to see on a screenshot

watching book adaptations and realizing you've been pronouncing something wrong this whole time is so humbling

#esp if english isn't your first language #idk what i thought it was but it definitely wasn't “coriolanus” in my head #so is it minotaur of minotaur?? #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #coriolanus snow #the hunger games #lucy gray baird #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #books #movies #films #book adaptation #reading #percy jackon #percy jackson show #pjo tv show #rick riordan

Reading The Song of Roland and y'know it's nice to read an Ancient, Respected Classic that's just. Trash. A jingoistic action movie. The 11th century equivalent of 300, a historical war depicted in a wildly inaccurate and propagandistic way as an excuse for buff macho warriors to face off against poorly-researched stereotypes of foreign enemies and then kill them in spectacularly violent and improbable ways. You want depth? Nuance? Timeless themes that still speak to the common human experience nearly a thousand years later? Fuck you. You'll take Charlemagne's nephew cutting a Saracen in half with his sword and you'll like it.

#i kind of want a film adaptation that plays it completely straight to the point of parody starship troopers-style #but given how large the unironic fash following would be i'm not sure you could make it in good conscience #i also want to see a sung performance because a lot of these repetitive parts probably work a lot better that way #idle musings #walrus reads old books #walrus consumes media

Reblog and tell me about your favorite book (I want to say classic, but let's just say published before the year 2000) that has never gotten an adaptation.

#books #(time frame added to eliminate new releases that haven't had time to get adaptations yet) #(this is about stories that have gotten overlooked) #after reading 'ruth' i am thinking about how much i'd like an adaptation and how much it will never get one #so let's build up the project list for my imaginary film company that adapts never-adapted books

BOOKS ADAPTED TO FILM”  The Hunchback (1997) I have to apologize.  When this movie was first released I did not watch it because I thought it would not measure up to the other movie I had watched as a child.  But I was wrong!  This remake is actually quite good.  It is based on Victor Hugo's iconic 1831 novel by the same name. Salma Hayek stars as Esmeralda, the gypsy woman.  Mandy Patinkin is Quasimodo; and Richard Harris is Dom Claude Frollo.  The supporting actors were excellent; and the scenery was awesome! Fun Fact:   The filming locations were Budapest, Hungary; Prague, Czech Republic; and Rouen, France.

I give this film 4.5 our of 5 stars.

#theyre gay your honor #in my opinion book sherlock is asexual but it is very difficult to make a film adaptation without making him gay #especially when the actor is queer #but thats besides the point #sherlock holmes #Sherlock #holmes #granada holmes #jeremy brett #the adventures of sherlock holmes #screenshots #granada #david burke

hello hi here to force strange thoughts into your brain once again, this time about jrwi (wow who could’ve guessed)

been thinking about this for a little but it’s basically what i think some campaigns would be if not podcasts, i haven’t listened to some of the older ones so i’m sorry they’re not on here :(( if you have any ideas feel free to add them btw :DD

RIPTIDE!!!!! - really long animated series

not an anime though, no matter how much grizzly wants it, it would be an animation style where the characters could have very clearly different nose, face and body shapes, really pushing my riptide nose agenda here sorry, each episode would be like 20-40 minutes long and instead of coming out in seasons there would be massive gaps in between episodes, from 2-6 months long, to leave time for writers and animators to get stuff done (massive team of animators btw, i feel like it would be pretty successful)

PRIME DEFENDERS!! - comics

literally nothing else they could be, just really well made, well performing comics (i’ve already talked about this before you can stalk my talk tag if you really want to find it lmao), the comic company making them would be keeping well away from movies n shit btw

APOTHEOSIS!!! - i wasn’t really sure about this one to be honest

i had to ask my friend and she said anime which i don’t agree with but i can see it, i think maybe a short book series where each book is 150 - 300 pages and is about a different god they have to kill/a different episode, i think that works but if anyone has any better ideas please tell me :D!!

BLOOD IN THE BAYOU!!! - i hate to say it, i really do…

bitb would be a really long really good 80s horror book with strong homoerotic undertones, a satisfied fanbase and lots of active members in the community making fan comics, films, writing, theories and art ect… until well after the book came out……….. and then it would be made into the most egregious and awful live action movie you have ever seen, the most awful casting (like chris pratt as officer dudes….. throws up) and even worse sfx, oh yeah and the characters would be ruined and the story would become so butchered it wouldn’t make sense, they would do some shit like cut out becky so kian just kisses some random lady (removing both a really good and well written character and a layer of kian’s character that i think is super important) and make rolan really be an evil bug spy the whole time so rand has to kill him to save the town also add in a whole new sub plot that never existed like the rand family is secretly a long line of bug alien hunters or something fucking stupid like that and the entire fanbase would murder whoever thought re-writing the story was a good idea (ahaha can you tell ive been through something like this before ahahaha, character morals and motives being removed and whatnot ahahahhahahaha.)

anyways………

THE SUCKENING!!! - live action series

it would be well made though, unlike the bitb movie it would be its own original thing, have great makeup and effects also be well casted and well shot, well written, ect ect, it would bloody and gory and not suitable for people who can’t handle showing bones and organs all over everywhere, lots of shitty rip off merch would be made though and the fandom would be 99% gay little freaks (normal suckening enjoyers) and 1% homophobic straight white men who get mad whenever they see soda and emizel having gay sex on screen or whatever fag shit that biting thing was

again feel free to add your thoughts and ideas and shit in the reblogs it would be nice to read them :DD!!

i am once again reminding everyone that count dracula (1977) and alucard (2008) are the least insulting, closest-to-the-book film adaptations of dracula. go 1977 if you want a good movie & 2008 if you want serious accuracy

#tiddytaco #dracula #dracula daily #will reblog with links #you can trust me on this ive watched just about every available film adaptation of the book #at great personal cost! Some Blow
