#film based off book

[catsafari25]

The salt in the last paragraph is strong XD

#bionicle #web of shadows #lego bionicle #like sure. this worked fine in the film when the audience only had prev films to base their knowledge off #it's quite a neat few lines really #BUT it's hilarious after reading the books #the toa literally spent a whole book in the archives #they are intimately aware of its dangers #'as if SOMEHOW the others might have forgottrn' #later edit cause i realise this perhaps not clear: the salt is greg seeing the script for web of shadows #and having to transpose it into this #and yet still finding a way to lampshade how contradictory it is to prev canon #just. amazing

Kaidan- You're very engrossed in your book there Calliope. What's it about? I might give it a read sometime

Calliope- Nah Kaidan... I don't think this is your sort of thing

#skyrim #taliesin #oc calliope #I am a mess #a hopeless puddle of goo #based off pride and prejudice because its my favourite film #and I wanted them to nearly kiss #even if its just a book

People who try to claim that the first movie adaptation of a book is the 'original' and any other adaptations, movie or show, are CLEARLY trying to replicate the 'original', even though the other adaptations are very obviously basing itself off of the book and not the first adaptation, are my ENEMY.

#watership down #i cant think of any more examples #yes this is based off of that one video by the youtuber with the character that has black hair and gray hoodie #-who compared the 1978 film adaptation of watership down with the 2018 series and never mentioned the book ONCE- #-EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM WERE BECAUSE OF THE 2018 SERIES HAD MORE BOOK CONTENT IN IT!

i specialise in things that don't matter.

in this blog, it's mainly literature and art/fanart related to it, yet sometimes i can go off topic. mainly greek mythology : The Song Of Achilles/The illiad/Troy , The Picture of Dorian Gray , Les Misérables , Death In Venice etc. which is fucking funny cause they all have the "Important, Extremely Pretty Blonde guy" and "the other one with the dark hair" ship trope,,, haha angst

my blogs header is Tadeusz 'Tadzio' Moes and Jasiu from Death In Venice 1971 movie, and my user is a reference to Enjoltaire, the pairing of Enjolras and Grantaire from Les Misérables.

Anyway call me by whatever name you want, I tend to steal my names from characters I relate to,,,, Dark haired characters i.e Basil Hallward are so me !1!1 ANYWAY i dont bite i swear please interract with me rah i made this sound so formal ekdhsjshsj

ALSO if you wanna submit some art request you always can dont be shy! :D

my artstyle changes alot.

#intro post #death in venice #les miserables #the picture of dorian gray #the song of achilles #literature #old books #old films #based off books #art #idk anymore #rahh

#joseph mawle #I was really blown away by this film #I watched it for Joseph Mawle....and wow.... #But also the story is really great #Half of a Yellow Sun is based off a book #Thandie Newton #Also a very smoll John Boyega was in this

idk if this is just me but i'm awful at working out when a historical film/novel is being historically accurate and when it's being plain rude

#like i never know if all the idk homophobic language is just reflective of the time it's set #or just a sign that the author's a dick #this is based off one very specific book and like... idk #dee rambles #historical novels #historical films #help me

[tariah23]

This dude is awesome… but also, I haven’t seen Bamboozled since middle school, oh my god. I’d almost forgotten about it-

#they had the movie at our local library so i remember my family checking it out and how I watched it so many times I didn’t even know that #it was a spike Lee film back then #I don’t think I was wise enough to absorb the message of the film all too well back then since I was like probably in 4th grade or so but I #got the gist of it #this video is great I literally never see people talk about this movie #it didn’t really do too well in the box office but it’s a pretty decent commentary on #🦝’s… #rambling #movies #American fiction is coming out…! #I want to see that film! #seems to have similar talking points to bamboozled (not entirely but within the same realm) #the main guys doesn’t appear to be a 🦝 but he wrote a book that white folks would love that reinforces black stereotypes and he’s gaining #accolades because of that but based off of the trailer it seems like it might be a comedy as well #bamboozled had comedians and hip hop artists playing black ppl from completely diff backgrounds who believed in separate ideologies and #visions and the film looked low budget as hell but it did what it was supposed to do

i have strong feelings about this book

#my favorite book when i was 10 #read it right after it came out and loved it #reread it like 3 times #used to imagine how i would direct a film adaptation of it #only for netflix to produce this swill based off it #a tale dark and grimm #p

22- your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores. ❤️

Not sure if it counts exactly because it's just something I haven't seen talked about in the Tolkien fandom rather than actively ignored?

I go into more detail here but the extra details about the Battle of Azanulbizar makes me so fucking unwell. It's such a sad and beautiful detail, it makes me appreciate the retelling of Azanulbizar in the films a lot more.

#asks #i haven't seen anyone talking about it 😭😭😭 #except me LOL #it just makes me incredibly fucking sad #if we do it based off film canon then thorin had to strip the armour off his grandfather and his baby brother's corpses #and return them to his sister. also with her husband's armour. while she was pregnant or kíli was very very young. BYE. #and with the news that their father is missing! yay. and so she never laughed again 🏃‍♂️ #book canon? it's dáin stripping the armour from his loved ones. bye. crying. killing myself.

not me writing dialogue for characters whose non-thw voices I haven’t heard in any capacity in almost a decade. I am going off of vibes and vibes alone here. And also all the dialogue from all the other httyd book-movie crossovers I’ve read recently. But mostly just vibes.

#httyd #rest stop au #I’m not counting thw because I literally do not remember any of the original dialogue from that film #The only dialogue I remember from thw is the part of the monologue at the end that was copy-pasted from the books #and that the writers clearly worked backwards from in order to have its existence in the film make sense #To be fair the dialogue in presupposition was also based purely off of vibes and many of its readers liked it so #Of course presupposition was revised after I found its first version in a notebook in my handwriting #Despite the fact that I Do Not remember writing it #So the two fics may not be entirely comparable

i did not expect to come home from work and see loads of ea gamechangers in tears over the fact that people pirate the sims or the packs

#people my age who have apparently..............never once pirated music.............. or films........... #i mean. i assume bc otherwise they can't be this upset about it #absolutely wild #and them acting like they're not defending ea.......................... when they definitely have something to gain #i gET that they can't really condone piracy if they want to be in ea's good books #but like. lmao #i was gonna say 'imagine using your day off work to.....' but these people don't go to work #so i guess.......... this is what they do with their time #when not hiding cc behind paywalls #extra wild: everyone saying that the base game is free so why would you even pirate it?? #as if the sims 4 basegame has been free all along......................... um

saw someone call rwrb "groundbreaking because it's the first queer romcom" and had to immediately come thousand yard stare about it

I do recognise that people making such statements is often a symptom of simply not having access to the right resources to find good queer cinema - as a baby gay I trudged through lots of very mediocre stuff and thought the world of them so I sympathise with people who simply aren’t equipped to recognise that there are stories out there which are more conscious of queer history and our relationship to authority, class, oppression, etc. It just particularly irks me that this one is so blatantly obtuse and based off of such a politically immature premise. it’s aware about the issues of its own premise, but not in a way that’s satisfying to witness when the movie does bother to address class, privilege and whiteness. insert that letterboxd review about how the most leftist those characters are is thinking that progress starts and ends with electing hashtag democrat hillary clinton.

(Although, to be fair, I didn’t go in expecting the movie to be politically conscious; I was moreso just deeply offended by its terrible attempts at evoking eroticism in the most sexless ways possible. hey guys it’s time to rewatch the handmaiden)

#do you guys want corny queer film recs. is that it. I have so many. you can do better I know this is not in your heart. #to be clear I’m not making fun of the people who enjoy it. I just think it’s a bad movie based off of a bad book. #asks #anonymous

i am so close to just watching one of the stage recordings of phantom of the opera on youtube.

#there's one of the london cast that i've been thinking of watching #obviously i still need to watch love never dies too #and probably the other phantom of the opera films based off the book more than the musical #emilio.txt #when i get obsessed with something i consume Everything that has to do with it

I have fallen down a very random rabbit hole of (fictional) world war 2 books specifically about the SOE and females spies in france

#tbh I’ve only read 2 books #within the week lmao #it was first code name verity which btw broke me completely #and now I finished the lost girls of Paris #which was also a god read ! didn’t know how I get about the multi pov cos it was confusing for a bit #but I liked it in the end #also devastating but at least there was a bit of hope ? #also now I rly wanna know about world war 2 cos I stopped doing history in YEAR 9 #SO I KNOW NOTHING !!!!! #and the fact SOE actually existed and female spies WERE INVOLVED !!! i wanna know about it #but idk if I’d get thru a non fiction book .. perhaps a documentary? anyone know of any #also I’ve legit been reading at work #since my managers been off I’ve had nothing to do #so I jsut sit and read on my phone #also I watched a film on Netflix about this and idk how I keep reading the books cos it’s low-key the same plot #the film was a call to spy which was dramatised but based on real people #still very interesting #rahma’s rambles #code name verity #the lost girls of paris #a call to spy

Oh hey look everyone, it's Genesis!!! :D Now this is one of those things where, when you realize that my dad introduced me to this band when I was 12 and I picked it up hard, the knowledge kinda explains a lot about me. This was the first time I ever heard rock music that wasn't structured like rock music. The first song he showed me was "The Musical Box," as it was and still remains his #1 favourite song of all time, it's special to him thanks to formative memories. I would show that one here (and, like. hey, if you like Stairway to Heaven but wish it was longer, heavier, had more guitar solos, but still came out the same year, the same MONTH.... then yeah here you go, let your mind be blown), but I'd rather focus on my favourite. :3

This is "Firth of Fifth." The title is a pun on an English river, and the lyrics are fancy and pretty and involve religion and Sirens and the river of Time and stuff. That's all well and good. But the music. No, seriously, the music!!! An elegant formal structure, based around a central piano piece, met halfway by a solo shared by... no, I can't do it, I can't just spoil it. ;w; Like, this song is... this song made me. I would write my fanfics to this all the time. I would get strength from it.

And furthermore, now years down the line, in my time of weed and depression, I admittedly turned to watching reaction videos on YouTube. A lot of them. Usually for my favourite things, to assure myself that I'm not alone, that others can see what I see. And I was excited when people started doing Genesis reactions, when those even became a little trend, but the best part was? The trending song was this one. And everyone, every damn reaction channel that covered this, had the same experience, and it was my experience from being a kid!!!!!!!

That experience is as follows:

1: Wow, pretty intro! Much more classical than I normally go for, but sure, I'm up for that!

2: Oh wow there's a band here. Peter Gabriel's voice is distinct and soulful and pleasant. But this is kiiiinda boring, kiiiinda sleepy. I'll listen to the rest of the song, but this isn't my kind of thing.

3: Oh huh, the vocals have stopped and now the instruments are going on an interlude by themselves. You have my attention. Where are you going with this.

4: AUTISTIC STIMMING

5: AUTISTIC STIMMING

6: GOOSE-FUCKING-BUMPS, FINALLY, A TASTEFUL GUITAR SOLO

7: OKAY THE VOCALS ARE BACK BUT YOU EARNED IT GENESIS

8: release. heart beating. thoughts racing. creative energy sparked. so happy.

Firth of Fifth is. Is magic. It is the.. it is the progressive rock song. It is everything the genre aspires for.

I promise you this will be a good time.

Lyrics for reference:

The path is clear Though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave

He rides majestic Past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there The trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below

The mountain cuts off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed

A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony

Undinal songs Urge the sailors on 'Til lured by the sirens' cry

Now as the river dissolves in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men The sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change

#Youtube #genesis #and this isn't even the lamb lies down on broadway #that one's a feature-length fucking dream film in genesis album format #that one was an album so mindblowing to me that I based the front cover of Rapture off it #selling england on the other hand is a fine wine and a good book. #also phil collins? underrated drummer. that's finally starting to change thanks to all the reaction videos #phil collins is a *classy* drummer. when he wants to bring out the skill it is effortless.

Love looking up the actresses who starred in American Girl movies back when they made those and seeing what they've been in since then.

Felicity? Yeah she starred in The Fault in Our Stars and the Divergent movies apparently.

Kit? Yeah Abigail Breslin has been in a million things because, well, it's Abigail Breslin but uh she's one of the main people in the Zombieland movies

Samantha? Can't remember anything recently but she was Leslie in Bridge to Terabithia.

Melody? She's been in so many things like Black-ish and the new Proud Family. Really making a name for herself and all that.

Grace? Olivia Rodrigo.

#No because the (not literal) whiplash I got years ago when I was like #'huh Olivia Rodrigo looks kinda.... Familiar??? Let me look her up- GRACE THOMAS?????' #Off topic but I love how the last american girl movie they did that wasn't just on amazon prime was the Lea movie #Which- if you ask any ag fan they'll tell you- absolutely sucks and is nothing like the book At All #And then they did the Maryellen one for prime which was okay #And the melody one I quite liked but I haven't read the books to compare yet #And the Ivy one is accurate based on what I know of the Ivy book (because I read Julie's books but I never got around to the Ivy one) #And then Z? I don't know what the fuck happened there #Seriously what the fuck happened there #The books are about a young aspiring director in Seattle trying to make a short film for a film festival. The movie? Summer camp??????? #my posts #american girl #I think that there are so many historical characters stories that would do so well as a movie. #For starter: CAROLINE!??? #Literally her story is probably one of the more adventurous ones. It would slay so much #Or Addy??? Rebecca?????? Josefina?????? I fuckin love Josefina's story #I think- and I'm sure this isn't that unpopular of an opinion- that american girl has been putting too much focus on their contemporary #characters and not enough on the historical characters #And also I think they should bring back Kirsten but maybe that's just me #However: I do think a Tenney movie would slay #Gosh I miss Tenney. Sad I never got around to getting her #Might try ebay... #Anyway that's it for today's 'Abe rants about their special interest' see you later
