#books are better than movies

[cljordan-imperium]

So when we, the authors, craft the words that turn into the movies in the mind, we need to ensure that we are using words and phrases that evoke the visions and emotions that we desire. We want to draw the reader in and wrap them in our story so completely that we can, at times, block out the exterior world so that they are breathing the very ether of the world we are creating. Make it so no movie could hold a candle to your words.

society is spiraling and culture is a wasteland. i know this because i looked and most people prefer things that are fun and easy, making fun and easy things extremely popular. this is the first time that's ever happened, historically.

#original #why is every post about books and movies and music and food like this #also the posts are always about tiktok like it's a mystery why the most popular app's most popular posts are about popular interests #please learn to accept when you are simply out of step with popular culture which i know you are because you are on tumblr #i know everyone hated hipsters and their interests being more obscure than yours but at least they recognized that they were the outliers #'hipsters suck because they think their taste is sooo much better than everyone else smh' #'my tastes are extremely normal which is why i can say definitively that popular things must be popular due to a conspiracy of some kind'

Things that are way better than sex, kissing and romance:

good food

entertaining book

well-made Netflix show

going to bed at 10 pm

music that gives you goosebumps

music you can loudly singalong to while driving

movies you can watch 10 times and they are still great

learning languages

looking at art

wearing comfy clothes

feeling warm, cozy and hyggelig

staying up all night reading

I've been with my now fiancé for 8 years, almost 9. And since Harry Potter is a gigantic part of my life, I've been wanting him to read the books. But he doesn't like reading. So I read Philosopher's Stone to him aloud. But it was taxing on my throat and it was hard to find time to sit down and read together.

So new strategy: watch the movies first and hopefully that'll motivate him to *eventually* read the books.

Last night we watched the first movie. I recited most of it...oops. and couldn't help myself from commentating on everything that was different from the book (like how they emphasize multiple times that Snape is helping to guard the stone but then cut the potions scene from the film). But I was amazed at the details he remembered despite not having read the book in like 4 years. He says to me at the end of the movie, "wait a minute, didn't his uncle drop him off at the train station, not Hagrid?"

(Low key annoys me that his reading comprehension is so spectacular and yet he won't read, when I struggle)

Not many days go by when I don’t think about how book!Ellen’s top concern was how Alex and Henry’s relationship would affect her campaign

But movie!Ellen’s top concern was how it would affect Alex

And I think that’s something that needs a random Saturday tumblr post.

Cloudy weather is so offensive to me because I just want to sit outside under a blanket and hold hands with someone but NO ONE is here to hold hands with

#wlw #wlw mood #sapphic #sapphism #lesbian #cloudy and slightly cold weather understands me better than anyone in the world #i wanna go on a walk #and hold hands #and read a book #and watch a movie on our tiny phone #and hope we get caught in the rain #so we can change into warm clothes and make hot chocolate when we finally go inside #idk just cloudy weather my beloved #im gay and i like sleeping

casting a person of color as annabeth is such a POWER MOVE that single-handedly made it so much better than the movies. i am not wrong.

She was on her way out — white satin dancing pumps and quantities of perfume announced gala intentions.

Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1958)

#breakfast at tiffany's #truman capote #literature #i was visiting an antique bookstore in los angeles the other week and they had the pink diamond-studded calfskin edition #and i went on such a tangent about how the book is better than the movie that the owner let me hold it and do a photoshoot with it #for five minutes it was mine!

Why is nobody talking about the fact that SJM talks sh*t about lord of the rings by Tolkien, the father of modern fantasy literature, because she thinks Frodo wasn't traumatized enough (spoiler he was) and that we didn't see him struggle with his trauma, even though he literally goes to the middle earth equivalent of a mental health institution at the end of the books/movies.

Here is the transcript from the interview:

Interviewer: You write fantasy, you write romance, but all of what these women go through that is grounded in experience that you experienced that your friends experienced

Sarah: It's when you watch any kind of fantasy, lord of the rings for example, like when you go throw in orc massacre, you gone have some trauma, right? I would be traumatized if I survived the battle of helmsdeep I would never sleep again, I would never be in a enclosed space again. It felt like a natural thing for my characters to face emotional consequences. The fate of the world sometimes is on their shoulders that's gonna leave a mark on them

#Does she really think that acotar has a better depiction of trauma than lord of the rings #I don't know how she couldn't be ashamed of herself saying stuff like that #did she even read the books or watched the movies #or couldn't she do that because there where written by a man? #acotar critical #anti sjm #sjm critical #anti acotar #acotar #acotar thoughts

the percy jackson tv show is actually great when there isn’t a little shit in your ear telling you it’s not “book accurate”

#it’s book accurate enough FOR ME #god can we just try to enjoy something for once #it’s an ADAPTATION. it is not gonna be copy and pasted from the books #but they have the tone and the humor and the CHARACTERS and the themes right #isn’t that what really matters? #and some of yall are acting like they changed the entire plot when really it’s just small changes that service the tv format #and deepen character relationships and interactions #seeing book fans say the movies are better is the most absurd thing i’ve heard in my life… like did we watch the same movies #every single thing the show does wrong is still light years better than every single thing the movies got right #can’t we just enjoy that please #can you tell i’m sick of the nitpicking😭 #anyways maybe try to have fun for once in ur life idk #also ur allowed to have constructive criticism that’s so valid. or criticism at all #ofc u should critique the media u enjoy #but saying it’s not a good adaptation is kinda crazy to me idk #when it’s so clear how much thought was put in by the creators and cast to get it right this time #pjo tv #pjo tv show #pjotv #percy jackson #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo spoilers #percy jackon and the olympians #ruch rambles #sorry to hide all that in the tags but it feels very angry and i don’t want to be mean😭 i have the crit tag filtered for a reason lol #i’m choosing joy #but i just wanted to put these thoughts out there

Lord, give me strength. The PJO discourse has begun, and no one starting it has read the books in the last five years.

#guys I just reread them a month ago; I promise that you are misremembering 90% of the og series. (I did too. it’s called passage of time.) #seriously please reread them before criticizing the show or just don’t criticize it at all. #unless you’re criticizing how it stands on its own instead of how accurate it is to the books. #I mean this in the kindest most gentle way possible because you guys are ruining what could be a great experience for yourselves #I’m over here vibing; don’t y’all wanna be vibing? vibe with me #edit: I invite y’all to rewatch the movies too actually because I keep seeing people act like the movies were better than they were. #like guys…that shit was a special kind of ass. don’t pretend it’s more true to source material (especially character wise and theme wise) #just because the show isn’t what you specifically wanted it to be. #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #pjo adaptation #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #percy jackson disney+ #rick riordan #percy jackson series #the lightning thief
