You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

See if there's one thing to take of note, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon is going to be DreamWork's first.
They're taking the same path as Disney (ngl no matter how you try to frame it- feels like a money grab) where their movies are being turned into a live-action. And they picked HTTYD to be the one submitted to that fate.
But at least they're making some good efforts, there are highlights. I'm still scared as to what the end product will be, but-
Dean Deblois is still directing.
John Powell returns as the soundtrack composer.
Gerard Butler is reprising his role as Stoick in live-action format.
I even saw on Instagram that Cressida Cowell, author of the HTTYD books, even visited the movie set.
One of DreamWorks' most popular movies was picked to become a live-action. One that was already so well praised for its revolutionary animation. I want to say it's DreamWorks legacy, but that's always a matter of opinion. The Kung Fu Panda trilogy is also brilliant. Well I guess no longer a trilogy.
Anyway, I am both excited and terrified for what the live-action could come to be. A friend of mine weighed the option that maybe they're taking this opportunity to have it be more book proportionate, that I'm more doubtful of.
And then, what if the movie comes to be a success, that's what I get on about. Like, enough to make sure the 3 movies are made live-action too?? Why I dwell on it, is because of the brilliance of the shows. If the live-action does actually garner some good attention, is there going to be a possibility of the shows being made live-action too.

Ella Enchanted book of all time. Linguist Ella. Banner-sliding friendship. Thinking up clever ways to skirt orders particularly to frustrate Mandy & demonstrating active resistance. Finishing school frustrations. Making the choice to run away from finishing school rather than be actively cruel. "Happy to be obedient" arc. The letters. Breaking the curse by resisting something you want more than anything because you know that it wouldn't be safe to take it.
How does it feel to be the most correct person on this website, Anon.
(May I also add: Prince Charming of color! It's like two throwaway lines, but Char is not white in the book!)

I’m convinced if they turn this book into a movie that only Glen Powell could possibly play Rye Walsh
He’s an academy graduate
He’s a naval aviator who ends up flying helicopters
He’s a Lieutenant Commander
His call sign is Riot
Hollywood get on this ASAP, this boy needs a new plane movie!!

Literature illuminates life only for those to whom books are a necessity. Books are unconvertible assets, to be passed on only to those who possess them already.

For all you Agrippa fans out there, I gotta give a shout-out to Lindsay Powell's book Marcus Agrippa: Right Hand Man of Caesar Augustus. Though the writing style is dry and at times adulatory, he's done a fantastic job bringing together a lot of disparate sources into one cohesive narrative, and backs all his statements up with citations. It's usually the first book I open when I need to look something up about Agrippa.

I swear there is nothing more insane to me than watching the n*tflix adaptation of Archive81 after listening to the original podcast and then seeing people not hating the show, it gives me such intense whiplash
