Just to say that if I appear off grid a bit in the next few days, it's not intentional. I'm supposed to be getting my wifi upgraded tomorrow, but given my rubbish track record with technology, not feeling confident it will go smoothly (not helped by stories such as my one coworker having Openreach cancelling on her and my other coworker keeps sharing a story of how they kept his daughter waiting for 7 months in London. At least I have something already so if they do cancel I can still use it, so luckier than them.

Ramble ramble ramble.

So I keep trying to do ramble posts re fannish stuff and keep failing miserably. Maybe this year will be the year I'm more successful in that.

Supposing you see a show, or a film, that's adapted from a book. Do you find it jarring if it goes in a completely different direction from the original, or actually enjoy the change? It's something I was thinking about after having seen the first episode of 56 Days (I read the book when it had not long since been released). For anyone not familiar with either but considering checking out, I've cut anything specific to that canon.

Read more... )

Okay, so at the time the book came out (summer 2021) some did feel that it was a bit too soon for that particular thing featuring much in books and shows (a few years on with a bit of distance from it, maybe it's easier. But that's a whole separate discussion anyway).

Read more... )

When the eventual outcome is wildly different to the original, does that jar with you or do you just go with it? I can remember wondering why exactly an old Miss Marple once years ago changed the identity of one killer in The Body in the Library, and also how exactly there could be an adaptation of Sara Shepard's The Perfectionists books without the character Julie and Parker considering how pivotal they were to the plot (considering that was canned after one season, I may not have been the only one!) If it's just something like an actor not being how I'd pictured someone in the books, I don't really think anything of that (although I've heard Mum plenty of times saying things like "He is not So and so!" in that situation.)

“But I had an epiphany. You know what all this sycophancy constantly being told you’re right, that you’re brilliant, that every decision is flawless? That sounds an awful lot like being a billionaire.”

[sic - perhaps the grammatical error is to show the writer is not an AI]

"The Secret Tool AI Uses to Seduce You: Explained," by Taya Graham and Stephen Janis

I use AI to get answers to simple questions and I hate when the bot addresses me personally. I hate it possibly to an irrational degree. (Even when someone else shares with me an AI convo they had, I get mad.) Do you use AI for anything and what do you think of this design choice?
