I've loved all the parodies and reactions. Not one has missed.

Oh HELL YES! "Only monsters play God" Guillermo del Toro already understands this story better than any other adaptation. This is going to be incredible.

Last night I read Come As You Are by Dahlia Adler. The premise is Everett "Evie" transfers to a boarding school after walking in on her boyfriend and sister in bed and later finding out her best friend was in the know. She transfers because she wants a new start in a place that has nothing to do with her sister. New relationships and experiences ensue. I really liked the book and it would normally be a solid 3 stars on Goodreads. Happy to reread if the mood strikes, will recommend should the subject come up, and I intend to read more from the writer. Instead this book ended up being 4 stars due to the following: So a delightful 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.

Of course but there was always an explanation for why Maris was never seen. I think the Ps just didn't care about Mr Kim but didn't want to him to be dead so they just stopped referencing him until the revival. The traveling around to get antiques theory works to explain his absence, why he was never shown helping at the store, and why he wasn't referenced much.

I saw on reddit the other day someone theorize that Mr Kim was never around because he was constantly traveling around acquiring the antiques they sold I the store. Now that's a theory and I immediately hit subscribe. There's also a glorious level of Christopher hate which made me happy.

Thinking about the deer episode from season 1. I completely understand Rory's and Lorelai's outrage at her not being allowed to take the test even though she was a few minutes late. From their perspective it's completely unfair and, after all, she ended up late because a deer ran into her car. But Charleston's side was also understandable. He shouldn't have been condescending to Lorelai in their meeting but, from his and Max's perspective, Rory was late to school with no proof as to why. Yes she was claiming she was in a minor car accident, and I do think Max believed her, but other students arrived late with all kinds of excuses they couldn't prove. Charleston even rattled them off and I'm sure some of them were valid just like Rory's. If Rory had called the police to report the accident and then their insurance to file a claim she'd have had paperwork to take to Max and Charleston to support how being late was out of her control. Hindsight and all that of course but I think she'd have been allowed an opportunity for a retake if she had documentation of the accident. Even hard ass teachers and headmasters will work with their students in the event of an emergency. Finally my theory is the extra credit offered to Rory is an off the books policy that gets offered to students in certain situations. If the excuse for the tardiness or absence is believable, or if the parents are influential/rich enough, then Charleston may grant the request should the teacher make it. If they don't then it doesn't get offered.

After a quick reminder check on Goodreads I want to see The New Girl, What Holly Heard, and The Face get adapted. The New Girl was the first, and was really good, and can be adapted straight or tweaked like Prom Queen. What Holly Heard and The Face would both work better as more 1 to 1 adaptation as they play with reader expectations but this group has done a great job so far and who am I to argue with their creativity? Beyond that, there are some titles that had sequels, like The Stepsister, The Wrong Number, or The Best Friend and all would make for great movie pairings. And, of course, there's the revisiting of Sarah Fier's murder, the Goodes and their evil, and the connecting magic. At some point they have to actually get to Fear Street and it's reputation in Shadyside so I hope they remember this. I like how Prom Queen kept the setting in the 80s but the Goodes were defeated in the 90s and we'll need some stories set after their downfall. That's the perfect time for Shadyside itself to improve while Fear Street to remain a scary place. I will say I hope they keep 2000 as their cutoff. A lot of these stories benefit from being before the Age of Cellphones so, whatever else they choose to do, keep it all before that.

To start I'm not going to spoil the details of the movie. I'm giving all of you a week before going into any detail. After that all bets are off. You've been warned! What I will say is I really enjoyed this movie and, while it bears little resemblance to the book I love, I think they did a great job. There are elements of the book that made it into the movie and that's as close to spoiling as I will get.

They cast Ralph Fiennes to play Snow for the movie. They case Jessie Plemmons to play Plutarch. Well done casting department.

Given the Sam mentions along with time passing aesthetic changes like Alexi shaving and Yelena and Bucky growing their hair I'm leaning toward the ship indicating this scene is set during Doomsday.

I agree it made sense for Sansa to be wary of Dany and not try to be friends. Sansa wanted a free North and Dany didn't. Their desires were fundamentally opposed so, at best, they really could only be capable of basic civility when in each other's presence which is what happened. Something that always stayed with me whenever the conversation would turn to "will the Starks/the North ally with Dany when she makes it to Westeros?" is so many people repeating the line "It was the dragons we bowed to" when the North initially declared itself independent. A lot of people believed, then and now, that line was purely metaphorical when I can't see how it was anything other than literal. If Aegon the Conqueror hadn't had three dragons, and a willingness to destroy everyone who opposed his rule, the Starks followed by the North would never have bent the knee. They bowed to the actual dragons to save their families and neighbors. The Targs were incidental in that moment. The dragons made the difference not the humans riding them. That's something that was downplayed to Dany when she was learning about her heritage and she quickly bought into her own hype to the point she never would have considered it herself. It was good she didn't realize the Westerosi people bent the knee to the dragons rather than her ancestors as she may have gone mad earlier and torched the whole of Winterfell in retaliation for not getting the welcome she'd expected. Honestly if Dany wasn't involved with Jon I wonder if she'd have burned Sansa to force history to repeat itself. She knew burning any of Jon's family would have been a dealbreaker for their relationship and she wanted to keep it so she didn't. Had Jon not killed her I think she'd have flown back North and burned Winterfell in revenge. And I do get Dany's position. She firmly believes the whole of Westeros belongs to her and only her and letting any of the regions have independence may give the rest ideas. If she'd won the Iron Throne I don't think she'd have waited long before moving to conquer Dorne. They were allies in her invasion but Dany wanted it all and I don't know if they realized that. I've posted before about how real life friends bought into the Dany mythology so hard they expected everything to go her way once she invaded and, as expected, they hated Sansa for not falling in line. The really interesting thing for these friends, and a number of other people across social media and various forums, is how many people hated ARYA even more than Sansa for not falling in line. Yes, Arya liked the Targaryen stories she'd been told when she was a kid but that doesn't mean she was going to automatically bend the knee. If Dany had invaded earlier in the series maybe the Starks would have been willing to broker an agreement to keep the North independent but, at that point in the story, all of them were just tired of 7 kingdoms shit. Sansa was pushing the hardest for Northern independence but they all wanted it while Dany wanted history to repeat itself.

Yes please join us in the HG thread when you’re done. I’ve posted A LOT of theories inspired by Sunrise and a trilogy reread and we could use some new ideas.

Sinners will return to IMAX from May 15-21.

So they took the title and not much else if the trailer is any indication but still looks good.

It's being reported Sinners second weekend drop is only 6%. To give an idea, it's normal for the second weekend drop to be 40 something. All week the assumption was the word of mouth was going to make the drop between 20 and 30 so there was already an awareness of the movie's popularity. But 6% is unheard of. Hell yes. I can't wait to see how the studio execs will once again learn the wrong lessons from this.
