[charred dome]

[bold dagger]

not for free no 😭

[minor rover]

I LOVE THAT BOOOOKKK

[scenic imp]

first copy of hit me hard and soft acquired :Dd

[marsh locust]

I would get it on Friday but some stupid shit with the postal service and my vinyl was sent retour

[grand obsidian]

SAMEEE

ITS SO GOOD

REETTY FOR LIFE

[scenic imp]

nooo 😭 I got this one in person from a record store so maybe try that 👀

[viscid kayak]

have anyone of guys read ' i hear the sunspot' manga

i'm planning to buy it should i?

[minor rover]

i’ve read it a while ago! i though it was good :))

[viscid kayak]

Really i usually buy like one shot but that manga cover is attracting me

[neat gale]

since it's almost pride month i have two LGBT books recommendations for you:
Dear Evan Hansen
If We Were Villains

[minor rover]

if we were villains killed me 💔 i am going to read dear evan hansen asap!

[neat gale]

enjoy!

[little blaze]

does anyone have any good book recommendations? read a few rlly heavy / hard books so needing something more light now

i like pretty much anything except when it’s purely romance focused, super high fantasy or horror/thriller

[little blaze]

i should read dear evan hansen actually bc i love the musical songs 😭😭

[neat gale]

it's good book, hope you'll enjoy it!

[neat gale]

Earwig and the Witch (there's Ghibli movie based on it)
Winterhouse trilogy (a little fun mystery and cool hotel)
Little Women series in case you haven't read it yet
Waiting for Unicorns (this one was really dreamy)
Francesca Zappia's books (you might like aesthetic of her universes)

[grand obsidian]

If y’all are looking for a good Musical with LGBTQ+ representation I could recommend The Prom, it’s about a young Lesbian girl named Emma, who lives in a VERY homophobic town, and she wants to take her girlfriend to prom, but because they don’t want her there, they decide to just cancel Prom

[open trellis]

yes

let me check my notes app lol

but from the top of my head the noughts + crosses series by malorie blackman

nvm i just realised you said lighter books

i'll try find something with lighter themes lol

there's a book called graceling by kristin cashore that is somewhat fantasy/ romance and is a bit lighter

it has tense scenes like with the villain but it doesn't really deal with any heavy themes

but some of the scenes are a bit weird romance wise so maybe not

in case you start associating that book with me 😭

[vernal spire]

sometimes i lie by alice feeney

psychological thriller, it's gonna mess u up

it has a couple TWs tho

oh wait

i misread it

um

hmm, what about steal like an artist ?

[scenic imp]

I was just about the recommend a book that’s basically all of these except horror because it’s an easy read but then saw this xdd

i don’t think it’s purely romance focused but mostly

[open trellis]

not almost everyone recommending exactly what marieke said she wasn't looking for 😭

it's so hard to find a light read

[little blaze]

it is 😭😭 idm heavier stuff but occasionally i gotta swap it out

[heavy void]

bags secured!!

is it only me or did it send twice

[little blaze]

i only see it once!

[heavy void]

oh it sent like 3 times for me 😭

[gilded pulsar]

Ok so it depends on what you like, wlw, trans, mlm or ace, so tell me what you want and I'll recommend you some books, also tell me what kind of plot you like

[neat gale]

actually i'm interesting in everything, you can leave some titles so i'll check plot later and add some of them to reading list :)

[gilded pulsar]

One of my personal favorites is let's talk about love it's about an asexual girl who gets broken up with for being ace, but she starts to have a crush for a guy

And it's her dealing with being asexual

Last night at the telegraph club is a wlw book based in the 50s-60s I think (?

There's a wlw webtoon called always human , it's pretty cute

The membranes is a science fiction book with kinda asexual and trans rep, if you read it you'll understand the kinda ace

I personally love the membranes

If you want a nb manga there's boy meets maria it's pretty short but pretty good

she drives me crazy is a wlw book about teens in high school, enemies to lovers

If you want harder to read ones let me know

[neat gale]

thank you!!!

[exotic rivet]

i dont know if its been suggested but milk fed by melissa broder

[open trellis]

[restive ferry]

Hey I can check that’s my thing

[lost imp]

Oo yeah that’d be great, thanks!

[open trellis]

idk if you meant historical fiction or not but there's a book called the apothecary's daughter by charlotte betts

and another slightly gay one called the testimony of alys twist - but this one bothered me personally bc (as vaguely as possible) the title just doesn't really make sense and the gay plot is a bit dissapointing

[open trellis]

👀 what;s it called

[obsidian sable]

Oooh interesting I'll check that one out!!

[neat gale]

Salem's Lot by Stephen King

[lost imp]

Any of the sciences really, just more factual than people talking about theory

[open trellis]

i also just woke up, i’ll probably remember some later and be like “i can’t believe i didnt mention that one” /lh

also the truman show, and fight club i think i liked but i have been meaning to rewatch because i’ve only watched it once

[slate trellis]

[cerulean thorn]

i think Gary might be my favorite but of course Sandy 🐿️🤠; Squiddy and Spongebob too

[slate trellis]

[cerulean thorn]

[slate trellis]

[cerulean thorn]

[minor rover]

i am watching this movie right now that… i don’t even know what to say

it’s called “almost famous” and i have 37 minutes left of it

it is so brilliant. it is already easy one of my new favorites ever. it’s about this guy who is more or less a music journalist, 15 years old, and he hangs out with a rock n roll band back in the 70s, getting new friends and going to concerts

god i LOVE it. if anyone here has watched it lmk!!

[minor rover]

[cerulean thorn]

oh slay!
i haven’t got a change to watch it yet but i’ve had it in my watchlist for a while!

[minor rover]

[gleaming mural]

Hiii

[orchid grove]

Percy Jackson is my literal childhood!

[lament scroll]

Hey, one of my favourite books called 'the girls i've been' should be on Netflix, but it doesn't exist in my country as far as I know.

Is it a good movie?

[eternal frost]

Have you read the sequel book? I currently own it, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet

[lament scroll]

No, I didn't and I didn't even know there was a sequel😂

[eternal frost]

I think it's pretty recent, I only saw it in Waterstones a couple of months ago

[lament scroll]

But I'm putting it on my book wishlist

[eternal frost]

It's called 'The Girl in Question'. The blurb makes the book seem really interesting when I get around to reading it

[lament scroll]

Okay thank you so much

Does anyone know if I can also send quotes from books here?

[little blaze]

yes you can!

[lament scroll]

Tysm

[cerulean thorn]

I FOUND IT

gary in all its glory

i have no idea how it ended up where i found it, but i’m glad it’s not lost anymore

ill move to #1238526983743475853 because technically trinkets arenr media /gen /lh 🫣

[hidden prism]

i literally finished the sequel last night oh my god

its so good

[slate trellis]

GARYYYYY

[little blaze]

gonna spend a lot of time in trains and buses next month so looking for new book recommendations!! looking for lighthearted reads as i read too many heavy books and now im tired !!!

i don’t like romance books much which is what lots of light books are im afraid

[cedar ingot]

Would also like some light books for the same reason hahha

the only light ones I have are a few romances or children's books lol

[neat gale]

Sophie Anderson's books and Ben Guterson's Winterhouse series

[obsidian sable]

@little blaze I have a few book recommendations if u want, all my fav ever tbh haha but are u searching for a specific genre or anything?

[little blaze]

no im pretty open to anything as long as it isn’t horror or crime focused !! 🕺🏻

[obsidian sable]

Ofc!!

Maybe not apocalyptic either haha

But still have recos!!

There's the wicked deep by shea ernshaw and it's about witches!! The story basically that a few witches were executed during the witch hunt and they come back haunting the city they lived in by taking the appearance of a few girls who kill men

Another book I loved is felix ever after by kacen callender, it tells the story of a black, queer and trans teenager and the challenges he has to go through! Though it talks also about a love story and if I remember well you're not a big fan of romance whoops

And then I generally recommend all john green books if u want lighthearted readings!!

[little blaze]

oooo i’ve read this one i really liked it!!

i don’t mind love stories as long as it’s not the main/only focus of the book

[cedar ingot]

Oh wait have you read howls moving castle?

[little blaze]

:o i always forget that those have books that’s such a good idea

[obsidian sable]

Omg this is on my reading list

Also if some of you are interested in stories of women during the world wars, there's a french author called catherine cuenca who writes really good books!! Her novels were translated so u should find them in english at least

There's one abt a girl who's studying to be a doctor during the first world war, really nice

(It's fiction tho but still interesting)

[cedar ingot]

Oooh cool what's it called? I'll probably read it in french

[little blaze]

do you ALSO speak french????

[restive ferry]

Moss, what- ?

[obsidian sable]

U speak french??

[restive ferry]

Hi there

[little blaze]

what’s it called !! will look it up

[cedar ingot]

Idk if @little blaze you like fantasy but I can recommend the 13 1/2 lives of captain bluebear by Walter Moers it's a chill story of him travelling. Its even got a Dutch translation De 13 ½ Levens van Kap’tein Blauwbeer

[cedar ingot]

yeah im studying to be in translator with it! French English and German :)

[restive ferry]

Amazing omg

You have french besties here if you need !

[cedar ingot]

Woohoo!!

I do need to practise speaking french casually and not in an academic setting because I don't think I can casually speak 😭

[little blaze]

so you speak french english german and dutch ???

that’s so sick

[cedar ingot]

hahaha ty it's my only useful skill lmao

[obsidian sable]

That's so impressive

[cedar ingot]

I just want to translate books 😔

[obsidian sable]

I cannot find the name of the book in english so that makes me question if it was translated or not

But in french it's called le choix d'Adelie

By Catherine cuenca

[cedar ingot]

Ty!!

[obsidian sable]

There's also another one called celle qui voulait conduire le tram, it's about how women were taking men's jobs during the war!!

[cedar ingot]

Ooh that sounds really interesting!!

Adding it too

[obsidian sable]

I have so many book recommendations but not light-hearted whoops

[cedar ingot]

same 😭 I read so much but only to suffer apparently

and sci-fi

[little blaze]

lmaooo me too

[obsidian sable]

I read a lot of fantasy series in the past if yall are interested in knowing!!

I also read so much abt Anne Frank

[cedar ingot]

yes I can always add more to my tbr

[manic tinsel]

i brought a bunch of my old books to the bookstore and got $100 in credit to spend so i went a lil crazy lol

i still have $40 in credit to blow through if anyone has recs

still on the hunt for cleat cute and dont want you like a best friend

[open trellis]

six of crows or the first book of the grishaverse trilogy if you haven't already

also i've heard i fell in love with hope is good

[manic tinsel]

ill look into the series! i tried reading six of crows for a bookclub and i couldn't really get into it idk why

[hidden prism]

if you enjoy a good girls guide to murder id get the second one!!

[finite ferry]

guys i just finished your book of selected poems by emily dickinson and I REALLY liked it, does anyone know a poetry book similar to it?

[manic tinsel]

ooh score! i didn't know there was a second!

[pure hatch]

there’s four!!

[manic tinsel]

omg

[open trellis]

tbf the beginning has quite a few character introductions that are a bit much to keep track of but it gets better later on since some of those characters become irrelevant later anyway lol

[manic tinsel]

I'll def try it, idk what it is about fall but to me there's nothing better than a good mystery while the weather is getting colder

btw if anyone is looking for it! it's super cheap at sams club they have it for $7.50

[hidden prism]

theres 3 and a prequel novella!!

[open trellis]

is it just me or is netflix suddenly missing the episode where || bart bass dies|| in gossip girl??

or am i remembering the series wrong??

[little blaze]

i saw that episode ?

[open trellis]

i'm on the episode where it's the morning of and they're having the funeral

does the part with || blair and chuck on the roof and bart falling off come after??||

bc so far i haven't seen that part and they're just suddenly acting like he's died without that scene happening yet

i'm probably remembering it wrong tbh we'll see when i get further in the episode

[cerulean thorn]

Apparently there’s going to be a Minecraft film and the trailer just came out

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C_fxwexhLR5/?igsh=NzZxb2R0aHl4ZDRy

i wonder how i have not heard anything about it till now but it’s a time in which a lot of games turned into movies (more than before i think)

[neat gale]

hai, i'm looking for some good french movies! coming of age or horrors would be the best.

[minor rover]

uhh i dunno if this could be labeled as "coming of age" but i think it is in some way.
one of my favorite movies (that is french) is called été 85 (summer of 85). i love it very much and if you haven't watched it yet i recommend it!! it's about well, a summer of the year 1985, and it's about two gay guys that fall in love. it's very beautiful and i highly recommend it.
i haven't watched that many french films apart from that one, not that i can think of :)

[neat gale]

thank you!

that's type of movie i'm looking for.

[cerulean thorn]

i haven’t had a chance to watch it yet but horror and french: les yeux sans visage.
i’ve had it in my watchlist for years + i remember it being mentioned in one of my film classes too

or “les diaboliques” (french horror) but same as above i haven’t got a chance to watch it yet do i don’t know much

[neat gale]

thank you - i'll check them!

[open trellis]

adding this to my list too 📝

[cerulean thorn]

in one of the courses i took, the professor was a huge horror fan so as a genre it was largely mentioned and focused on
i had to get myself more into it a because of the many horror films that were in the exam list

[cerulean thorn]

i have finally been influenced i just hit play on gilmore girls

(it took me awhile but thank you marie i guess )

[open trellis]

what did gir post

[open trellis]

also what do you think so far

[cerulean thorn]

i remember in the past years, she mentioned it a lot on if stories and interviews
i’ve always known about it but never got to watch it before also it’s so autumnal

[cerulean thorn]

i like it! i’m on episode 3
and plot twist my sister is watching it with me (i’m using her pc after all but she’s locked in )

[open trellis]

😭moments where you almost unintentionally end up starting a series with a sibling/ cousin are great tbh

[cerulean thorn]

oh yes they can be /pos /lh

it has become a rarer thing now but we used to do this more often

[wary lichen]

Anybody have a good lesbian book recommendation ?

[little blaze]

check #1250462642015830066 there’s a lot listed there !! :)

[wary lichen]

Thx !

[minor rover]

this was written on gaytimes' insta: "The Matrix director Lilly Wachowski will co-produce an animated adaptation of Andrew Joseph White’s 2022 fantasy novel, Hell Followed With Us."

[neat gale]

@little blaze i'm reading Deeplight which you recommended me a couple of weeks ago and i'm really getting into it. story is more and more interesting with every chapter.

[little blaze]

[neat gale]

[dire hedge]

I'm on book 4 rn

[neat gale]

i love both new and old one. Winona is wonderful in both movie :)

[acoustic depot]

my ratings are all solely based on vibes

[neat gale]

this one was really interesting! my fav was second one.

[cerulean thorn]

i agree!!
can’t wait to rewatch the new 🪲🧃

[neat gale]

strange, i haven't seen any of this 🫣

[neat gale]

me too!

[cerulean thorn]

have you watched a league of their own the serie? /gen ⚾️

[acoustic depot]

oo i haven’t. i watched it because it was on tv

[dire hedge]

Same!! Hollow city and library of souls are my fave, los cuz Millard gets a lot of pages and I love milllard

[cerulean thorn]

oh cool! if you stumble upon it it’s a cool one, it’s like a remake but different

[neat gale]

he's great character and also idea of map and travelling throught loops based on fairy tales is so fire.
my fav character is Emma, basic but she's so wise and elegant and kind.

[dire hedge]

I hate how the movie swaps it around though. I had watches the movie first (ghastly I know) and then the book and then watched it again and I don't like it anymore, THE TWINS WEREN'T EVEN IN THE BOOK ONCE!!

[neat gale]

i still like movie because i'm big fan of Tim Burton but yes i wasn't a fan of swap too. twins were actually funny! do you like Florence song at the end of the movie?

[dire hedge]

I'VE CRIED TO IT A LOT OH MY GOODNESS I love Florence. But also a part of me thought that it was hunger instead- like I can remember it being hunger by Florence but I guess it wasnt

Tim Burton is amazing though I can agree with that

[neat gale]

same here! when i was reading looks i was listening to whole Florence discography because it fitted plot for me somehow and then they announced release of this song for a movie - i was like: did i manifested it?! that was magical!

[neat gale]

glad we agree on this ✨

[dire hedge]

i gt a lil surpised it was i wish you were here instead

[neat gale]

lovely surprise then :)

[dire hedge]

i love the brothers in hollow city though

and sharon (?)

sharons def one of my faves

[neat gale]

i think in first four books all characters are likeable.

[dire hedge]

Hmmm

Yup

Except the brothers

Almas brothers

[neat gale]

yes, definitely!

[acoustic depot]

i read the books and then watched the movie trailer and really didn’t like how they changed so many things so i haven’t watched it. maybe one day i will

[neat gale]

i think it's still worth watching even changes. i enjoyed a lot.

[cerulean thorn]

i just randomly watched this and found it so cool

https://youtu.be/X-0vZeaIrFg?si=6oQdEF-GxWAftf_U

i have yet to watch over the garden wall even though it’s been in my watchlist for years but this maybe just made me realize i really need to watch it asap ! /pos

[open trellis]

omg i've seen fanart of this but i never knew what it was called

[cerulean thorn]

i think i’ve randomly seen things about this over the years but i don’t know the actual lore / fandom things

[cerulean thorn]

is anyone doing spooktober film challenge ? /gen

|| silly sticker combo because lurking creature could easily be a spooky film title or the plot of a lot films ||

[neat gale]

maybe!

[cerulean thorn]

any particular film you’re looking forward to watch this october? /gen

[neat gale]

ohhh! a lot, i have whole list as every year! what about you?

[cerulean thorn]

me too!!

started working on my spooktober 2024 list a little earlier than usual and i hope to plan it somewhat better to fit more movies

included also fall vibes films and i try to do “first watches” for the most part but i hope to fit also a couple of my favorites “october” films

i’m also thinking of adding a dr jekyll and mr hide adaptation to my spooktober because i think it would be fun to do in honor of ugly side

[neat gale]

i've saw The 6th sense, It's Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and Heathers - all of those are amazing movies!
about Fall of Usher House - i read short novel first so after first epiosed i stopped watching it.

[neat gale]

that's a nice idea, i like it :)

[neat gale]

oh wowzie, right! good point!

about my spooktober list this year. i didn't plan it much because i'm never fully able to watch all 31 movies but yes, in october i always watch spooky movies. i'm going to watch new Salem's Lot on october 3rd for sure and later i'll see!
i'm horror enjoyer and i love finding less popular movies which i really adore now. if you would need any recommendations feel free to ping me.

[cerulean thorn]

i have also been thinking of reading poe’s original stories before! i have to check but i think i have them in this copy

[neat gale]

yass, Poe is just one of the best writers ever!

[cerulean thorn]

the great pumpkin is one of the rewatches i’m doing 🎃 also really looking forward to the others you mentioned as well, especially heathers

[cerulean thorn]

i haven’t managed to do the full 31 days yet either
i think i’ve heard something about the one coming out on october 3rd, but will need to look it up

[neat gale]

awww, that's sweet! it's one of my fav halloween cartoons. second one is Winnie the Pooh Halloween movie.

[neat gale]

yes, it's coming out october 3rd on MAX. directed by screenwriter of IT movies! hope it will be a slay!

[cerulean thorn]

that’s so lovely!! 🎃 🧡
for me cartoons probably scooby doo

[neat gale]

i've never seen scooby doo.

[cerulean thorn]

just added it to my spooktober list

[cerulean thorn]

neither the cartoons nor the live actions? /gen

[neat gale]

yay! hope we will enjoy!

[neat gale]

both

[cerulean thorn]

fascinating! /lh /gen 😯
why? by choice or ? (if i may ask )

[neat gale]

i don't know honestly. i was always a disney kid and never wanted to watch anything but Winnie the Pooh.

[cerulean thorn]

tbh fair, and same i loved Winnie the pooh and Disney as well

[neat gale]

sweet :)

[cerulean thorn]

if you ever stumble upon them, the 2 scooby doo live action (2002 & 2004) are really nice

[neat gale]

thank u :)

[open trellis]

i haven't heard of this

what is it

[cerulean thorn]

pretty much watching spooky films every day of the month of october 🎃
i usually do it more casually but i’m sure there’s a lot of actual challenges/themes /templates

and i try to fit in general films that feel like fall and are seasonal just so it all balances out

[open trellis]

oh that's cool

[cerulean thorn]

yes!! 🎃

[upper fractal]

I made a schedule with my boyfriend!!!

Super boujee, high quality editing here

It was hard making a list because we have seen ALOT of horror movies last year, throughout the whole year

My letterboxd is: Miloukoe
For anyone who's active on there (:

[cerulean thorn]

nice!!!!

also oh wow! the nightmare series i only watched the first one because i had to for a class but it messed me up badly although one scene i found admittedly very funny
best wishes on your spooktober challenge 🎃👻🫡

[open trellis]

is it that scary😭

i wouldve thought it would be a bit more tame since it's elm street

then again i havent seen a lot of elm street

[cerulean thorn]

it was for me because i often experience || sleep paralysis and very bad nightmares in general ||

i remember for years i successfully and actively avoided it and then it was on the list for an exam i literally waited just weeks before the exam to watch it because i really didn’t want to go through that

[open trellis]

i hope it wasn't too bad for you <3

[neat gale]

Elm Street is slasher so it's also quite funny. first part is really good but second, fourth and fifth were boring and awful to watch.

[neat gale]

Beetlejuice, Psycho, Scream, Herditary and Jennifer's Body are so good! some of best spooky movies ever made.

[neat gale]

oh, i'm so sorry :(

[cerulean thorn]

luckily i’ve encountered more films that are nice and good than traumatizing ones ✨

i’m trying to decide on which film to pick for today to start spooktober, do y’all have any planned for today or are you going on vibes? /gen

[open trellis]

ngl i forgot

ive mostly been waiting until im emotionally recovered to start the haunting of hill house lmao

[cerulean thorn]

oh that’s a good one!! /pos

[cerulean thorn]

also that’s so smart, to emotionally prepare for it i went in blindly when i watched it (not so smart but i did end up loving it)

[minor rover]

i dunno where to ask this but does anyone here use the website "goodreads" for books? if you do, i'd love to add u as friends there bc i just fixed up my acc a bit to start publishing reviews on goodreads hehe >:3
tag me if u answer!!

[hidden prism]

i love goodreads

have you heard of storygraph? its similar but it has pretty graphs with your stats

[obsidian sable]

hey guyyys does any of you have fall books recommendations? I'm dying to read a fall mood story, but no romance

[modern wagon]

i can check!! what are you looking for?

[open trellis]

i had autumn books to recommend but they were all romance

[minor rover]

same i was abt to write a list

[obsidian sable]

oh it's okay go on i'll see if it's too much romance for me hahaha!!

still very curious abt them

[minor rover]

but i understand that everyone has different preferences ofc and so on!!

[open trellis]

'legends and lattes' which is fantasy/ romance(?) but more chill/ less action

also 'the no girlfriend rule' but i'm not sure if it's actually autumn related the cover was just giving autumn vibes (it's about a queer group who play something similar to d&d)

[cerulean thorn]

i have these written down as fall books in my tbr list:

• the castle (kafka)
• a discovery of witches (deborah harness)
• dead poets society
• gallant (v.e. schwab)
  -lanny (max porter)
• the binding (bridget collins)
• imaginary friend (stephen chbosky)

[languid summit]

Rank/

[modern wagon]

[little blaze]

[pulsar vapor]

Yea I watched it! (10/10!!!!)

[cerulean thorn]

saw this fun halloween films template 🎃

[neat gale]

this is too hard - i can't pick only 5!

[cerulean thorn]

sorry! /lh 🫣 and yeah i know

although there’s some i still haven’t watched on this template, many of these were my childhood 🎃

[cerulean thorn]

@neat gale i just saw this and thought of you

https://x.com/flanagansource/status/1848390603836416126?s=46&t=54mb3nBsVKhIiAYdPMKsZg

Mike Flanagan Source (@flanagansource) on X

Mike Flanagan's first Amazon series will be an 8-episode adaptation of Stephen King's CARRIE.

It will be the filmmaker's fourth Stephen King adaptation.

Twitter · Oct 21, 2024, 3:47 PM

[neat gale]

i read about it yesterday! if he won't cast Lulu Wilson as Carrie White then i refuse to watch it.

[cerulean thorn]

i wonder how long it will be until a casting announcement

i finally saw the original carrie last year for the first time, so now i’m even more excited

[neat gale]

have you seen only original or all versions?

[neat gale]

hope it will be quicker than with Revival - since he announced adaptation of this book there's no more news about it 😔

[cerulean thorn]

i’ve only seen the original version so far! (i think)

[neat gale]

with Sissy Spacek?

[cerulean thorn]

yes!

[neat gale]

it's good one! but to compare you should check 2oo2 and 2o13 versions ✨

[cerulean thorn]

oh yes, i do plan to! i think i saw the 2013 version banner recently on streaming

[neat gale]

let me know how did you like it!

[cerulean thorn]

i will 🫡

[cerulean thorn]

i watched the 2013 version last night

[neat gale]

👀

[cerulean thorn]

i’m glad i watch the original film before because it was cool noticing all the different style choices between the two. also being so far apart in time, it does indeed make new ways of exploring the story in current time.
it did felt exactly like a 2010s movie thou, but overall it wasn’t that bad

[neat gale]

who was better Carrie in your opinion - Sissy or Chloe?

[cerulean thorn]

i think overall in the movie, sissy because it felt more believable during the whole film. tbh the prom scene they were both really good in both || except i didnt like the part when in the 2013 version when the part as the bucket was dropping they did a bit too much, but it was a directorial choice like the rewind and seeing it from different angles it went on for a bit too long so idk but only that specific choice because the rest was really nice and Chloe looked amazing as the embodiment of rage|| maybe the 2013 version felt more fast paced somehow, but Julienne Moore and Chloe were really good and believable in their characters

a bit all over the place (what i said) but idk i’m even more curious now about an adaptation in current times and maybe the format of a tv series will offer more opportunities to develop a story that’s paced right idk 🫣

[cerulean thorn]

which one did you prefer?

[neat gale]

i like your opinion!
honestly i this the most true to book adaptation is 2oo2 version but visually i prefer 2o13 version (i'm big fan of Chloe's acting so it's quite natural). i wish 2o13 version was longer and more like book but i'm happy with results. about 1976 version - i like it too but in prom scene Sissy looks quite scary for me instead of ||looking like girl who got her revenge with satisfaction.||
i'm curious about new version (especially if Flanagan will be responsible for whole script and if he will cast Lulu or McKenna - he worked with them before so pleaseeeeeeee). it might be similar to 2o13 version when it comes to modern times but maybe it will be more brutal as book was?

[neat gale]

it would be great to see more of ||Carrie's childhood||.

[cerulean thorn]

thank you!
oooo interesting! i’ll remember that when i’ll watch the 2002 version 😯
also same, i have been a big fan of chloe’s acting

[cerulean thorn]

i’ve read somewhere about brian de palma reaction of the adaptations and it was something along the lines of the modern adaptations made “mistakes” he tried to avoid

also read people saying that in the book the || pig 🩸 choice was intentional as an analogy to carrie’s body size and a reason for the way we’re treating her badly and bullied. || but i haven’t read the book so idk

[cerulean thorn]

the way technology and social media cultures has evolved since the early 2010s makes me think it could be even more brutal

[cerulean thorn]

i agree

[neat gale]

do you have any link to this article?

yes, it's all true. actually Carrie was debut novel by Stephen King and it devids he's readers a lot. you love or hate Carrie. i'm in first group. it's also one of his shorter novels so i'm sure you can read it before tv series will be out.

[neat gale]

sadly, yes 😔

[cerulean thorn]

i’ll try to find the sources! 🫡
some i’ve read in passing and some was probably from the professor, carrie and specifically the prom scene was analyzed during a class course but maybe now there’ll be a lot of new commentary resurfacing with the flanagan news

[neat gale]

that's so interesting, thank you!
i've also read about King's inspirations for Carrie's characters. i'll try to find it for you.
true, true!

[cerulean thorn]

thank you!

[neat gale]

of course ✨

[cerulean thorn]

i have yet to read a King’s book but since he’s a really popular author it’s easy to stumbled upon commentary on his stories and work in general

i’ve mostly seen the films adaptations of his works and of course what’s in the “pop culture”

[neat gale]

[neat gale]

which one have you seen?

[cerulean thorn]

thank you!!

[neat gale]

no need to thank me, enjoy!

[cerulean thorn]

i just realized i actually haven’t seen that many yet but: shining; carrie; stand by me; and gerald’s game (but i only watched it at the time because of Flanagan directed it)

[neat gale]

from this list i only haven't seen gerald's game. i love Stand by me - one of my favs!

[cerulean thorn]

slay!! and it’s such a classic and truly a good film 💙

i also really like the poster

[neat gale]

so so true!

[digital geyser]

Any maze runner fans here??🥹🥹

[wide canyon]

[neat gale]

what kind of horror - folk horror, slasher, horror with monster?

[wide canyon]

@neat gale horror with serial killers like scream or with psychological stuff like the black phone, or trillers that kind of stuff :))

[neat gale]

oki!
i just finished Timecut on Netflix - it was so good!

[wide canyon]

@neat gale thanks! ❤️

[little blaze]

[grand obsidian]

Does anyone here know a series called A Series Of Unfortunate Events?

Currently rewatching

@wanton knot

(Oh how I love being in a dead fandom)

[eternal frost]

I LOVED the books! I'm pretty sure my mum has first editions

[grand obsidian]

My school library has all the books, but I prefer the series. Though they left out a lot of things

[eternal frost]

I never got to watch the show tho, cos we don't have Netflix

True. But sometimes I can't be arsed

[grand obsidian]

Eh fair

I can send you a link to a good one

As long as you have a VPN and adblocker

[eternal frost]

I've heard good things about it tho

[grand obsidian]

Neil Patrick Harris is amazing

(He plays Count Olaf)

[wanton knot]

YESSS

I LOVE THST SHOW

AND THE BOOKS

GRAH
