Aren’t the “hammerheads” in Wicked? Or did I hallucinate that? Unsure

Just finished the 1st half of the miniseries. What a fascinating story. I went to YT for more context l. Thanks Laura

Sitting down to watch this after finishing the novel! My first Stephen King based on your recommendation and I loved it. I have Misery on hold at my local library next

Okay the story and actors... I preferred the casing of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" with Jude Law and Matt Damon. But the shots of the rented rooms and Italy in general within "Ripley" were amazing. I just got lost in the scenery. I didn't care that much about any of the characters. They were wooden and unlikable as a whole. All of them. But I watched to the end. I will watch "Purple Noon" now. Thanks for the recommendation.

You pronounced Amaranta very well and then decided to say it wrong for the rest of the video 🙃

TIL there was a book.

As far as Ralph beating up Scut Farkas-- when his mother pulls him off Farkas, he's more worried that his mother will punish him for all the cussing he was doing as he was pouring it on Farkas, because, as we remember, she was not too thrilled the previous time he cussed.

This show was just perfection in my eyes. 100 years of solitude is my favorite novel of all time

The 🐥 who does this review is cute. I want this girl 4 christmas!

Great review! Thanks! Did you also see ‘Ollie Hopnoodle’s Haven of Bliss’?

What's pretty cool is watching Christmas movies now and realizing that Peter Billingsley is in the movie. He is the Elf that asks Buddy how many etch-o-sketches he made. The ticket agent in Four Christmases.

He did tell his dad, he wanted the gun, he blurted it out at the table

I watched the show not knowing anything about the story. But ive heard of the book. Honestly, ive not seen anything made so beautifully. But i think 8 episodes are too short. Having said that, this series made me want to read the book mainly because i find some characters are underdeveloped in the series.

I loved the book, and movie for this one. I will say the only change I hated was Duddits being turned into an alien for the movie. In the book they did mention the aliens might have vame because of duddits having the same mind reading abilities, but never once said he was an alien. Basically he was a kid with the same ability as Danny. He had the shining, but in the movie they ruined that. It's still a great movie in my opinion, but why would you turn a human character into an alien. Also it wasn't being around the aliens that caused the telepathy in the book they mentioned it was the byruss, or what the soldiers called the Ripley. Thats why during the chase when it died off, and they lost the byruss they started having more trouble sensing him.

Always wondered if it was a good adaption or if it’s a snake eating its tail kinda situation; is the novel as philosophical as the film surely the symbolism in the film is trying to illustrate it but does the source hold the same tone? Or is it a visual addendum to the text? Either way it is a perfect film.

Very disappointed with the movie personally. I hate how they didn't mention the wheel of fortune, or any of his mother's transition during the coma, or his skating accident, or Cathie's stake house accident, or how they switch the Cathy stake house accident to the kids he's tutoring having a skating accident. It felt like they just rushed it so much that there didn't even feel like a connection was really there between Johnny, and Sarah in the movie, or how they 4 1/2 years is just 5 years, the wedding ring, or the one that upset me the most how the father of the child, and Johny get into an argument. I don't mind the changes themselves (except for the change with that fathers kid, absolutely hate everything about that change), but how the changes made the movie just feel rushed.

I think the dad won the leg lamp (aka the major award) in a contest he entered when he had to answer, "What was the name of the lone ranger's nephew's horse?" The mom answered, "Victor", so I guess in all fairness, SHE won the leg lamp. ...and my favorite line from the movie was when the dad was "weaving a tapestry of obscenities..." in the furnace room, one of the "swear words" he said was "Monday Noodle!" OMG I laughed so hard I cried! I still think it's one of the funniest lines in the movie!

Would you ever consider reviewing the Netflix series vs the books?

The book is better

To me the movie suffers from toomuchitius. if they just kept the Red Ryder nails the Cleveland Street Kid and maybe one other story (the bumps hounds would be my choice) it would be so much better. Reading the books or hearing Jean Shepherd read the story is the best way to hear them

Another film adaptation based on some of the same stories from In God We Trust... was the made for public television Phantom of the Open Hearth that came out in 1976 and had the leg lamp bit in it but mostly stories about the steel mill in the town set during the early 1960s concerning a teenager trying to score the perfect prom date and events of his dads siblings such as his uncle getting drunk and unloading a full house kit from a train in the freight yard with some of his friends who were also drunk. Really kinda of funny and slightly touching.

With the year coming to an end, I just wanted to say that you’ve been my favorite YT discovery this year. Thank you for everything you do, Laura! Happy Holidays!

This was my Dune. I still love the first mini series. The sequel was a little meh but I get why they had Wesley Gibson (Charles Xavier for the youngins) show up in visions instead of baby Leto third of his name.

Blood Meridian is a classic. It is Moby Dick mixed with Lord of the Flies and Gnostic mysticism.

I know a lady who was a extra in this movie. I think the sequel(s) get a bad rap, but I just love a cheap cash-grab sequel. Home Alone 4 is my favorite of that franchise for example. Plz don't judge me lol 😅

Wow, this show made me fall in love with my favorite piece of literature all over again! And this review made me look at some of the themes with new curiosity. Thank you so much!

Dagherrotipo isn't a foto. A foto is doing in paper and the daguerrotipo was doing in metal. ramen and argento.

I did not know A Christmas Story was based on a book. Surprising.

This must be a great book. Every year I try to pick up a cheap used copy and there are not many and always too pricy. I guess not too exorbitant after all.

Of topic bit I love the name of this channel. Only movies better than the book off the top of my head are Forrest Gump, legends of the fall and shawshank redemption

Jean Shepherd is the one who actually wrote the screenplay for the first movie. HE is the one who adapted his various stories to the screen and didn’t intend for them to be exactly translated. He seems to have used them as inspiration. The movie is not a direct adaptation of one book but is inspired by many of his stories, including those in the books you mentioned. I read both and listened to his radio broadcasts. Yes, I highly recommend reading the books but the movies were never intended to be purely faithful translations of the books.

The Woke apology for a 60ish year old book was hardly necessary; likewise the recommendation to avoid the book and see the movie instead. This is a phenomenal piece of writing that everyone should experience and the fact that you condemn it for not fitting in with the bland pablum that's marketed today is inexcusable.

Fun fact: Nehi soda still exists. I see it from time to time, usually at the farmers market. Haven't tried it yet, so I can't report on the taste.

I think bullying used to be a lot worse. In the past few decades, adults have started taking it more seriously. Not that it doesn’t happen still, but there’s policies now.

Josh Brolin’s memoir sounds like when I read Diane Keaton’s who I love but her book needed further editing. It was a mess of random tales.

Hi 👋, have you thought about doing the difference between Jurassic Park the movie compared to the book? There are huge differences.

Pues a mí me gustó

Have to disagree. I read the book in the summer of ‘67 or ‘68 as a teenager. The movie is very well done, well cast, and well acted, but there’s so much more in the book that didn’t relate to Christmas that didn’t make it to the big screen. I haven’t read it since, but almost 50 years later I still remember other chapters and characters like “Harry Geertz and the 47 Crappies” and “Ludlow Kissel and the Dago Bomb that Failed”. My dad and uncle listened to Sheppard on WWOR radio in NY nightly. In the ‘70s he had a weekly show on a local NJ Public Broadcasting station called “Sheppard’s Pie”. Cheers!
