[(Anonymous)]

Someone has arranged for it to look like Enterprise destroyed an entire planet, just to further their own ends. Talk about extreme sabotage...

What series/etc. would make an excellent stage musical?

[(Anonymous)]

Several surprising movies and even things like anime have been made into theater musicals. What do you think should go Broadway?

Nothing, broadway is a blight controlled by the wealthy.

I am here for a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time musical! Though...for all I know there is one already.

I'd like to see a horror movie made into a stage musical. Are there any horror stage musicals? I think Nightmare on Elm Street would lend itself the most to musicals because all the singing could happen in the dreams. And you could go crazy as fuck on the setting/costuming during those parts.

I'd be surprised if the Pitch Perfect series hasn't been pitched (haha) to Broadway yet, though that one would not be surprising.

The first or third season of Mad Men would be an interesting musical.

I think a lot of classic YA fiction could work as stage musicals?

In particular, I would like to see a musical adaptation of The Westing Game. could be really good.

All I know is I want a Gundam musical.

I don't care what series of if it's an original story. I want theater to be up to the challenge of having giant flying mecha laser space fights on stage.

please god I don't ask for much

Which Movie Features Keanu Reeves' Worst Accent?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm going to go with Devil's Advocate. Not only was that a terrible southern accent, it was an extremely unnecessary one since the character was from Gainesville, Florida. Anyone with a thick southern accent in Gainesville probably moved there from Georgia.

Book club - Briar Rose discussion

[diet_poison]

My thoughts in a reply! Please share yours :)

Re: Book club - Briar Rose discussion

[diet_poison]

Briar Rose surprised me a little bit. It was about halfway through before it really got insteresting. I thought the writing during pretty much all of it that was told from Becca's perspective was kind of annoying, and felt a little tryhard. But I was really immersed in the part told by Josef.

Mostly it was horrible. Like, immersive, but so horrifying. I had to put it down after a little while and take a breather because it was just depressing. Not only is it more horrible than most atrocities in fiction, but it isn't fiction - it was all real, except for the specific stories of the protagonists. It's just unbelievable.

Poland honestly sounds like kind of a depressing place. I'm sure it's not, overall - it was probably just the story that made me feel that way. Anyone here been to Poland?

As for the characters, Josef and Gemma and their contemporaries were compelling; the rest were pretty annoying. Becca's constant correcting of Magda really grated on me. Like she never asked her to coach her in English and Becca understood her just fine. idk I may be overreacting to that. Shana and Sylvia were irritating and Howie (I think that was the name of one of the husbands who tried to get Becca to make him breakfast?) was a complete ass. Seriously, just a bunch of really annoying people, lol.

Josef was compelling and dynamic and flawed, and I enjoyed reading his story from beginning to end.

Stan was alright but his romance with Becca felt kinda shoehorned. He wasn't really at all essential to the story. And it was a little cringey because like, is he just going to continue to be her editor? while they're dating? that's not super professional and sounds potentially very awkward. and the jealousy towards his friend Samantha was totally irrelevant and also unfounded to begin with. I just don't like that trope much though.

tl;dr I loved the part of the story from Josef's perspective and pretty much hated the rest of it.

I also thought the Sleeping Beauty connection was tenuous and rather forced. Especially because it wasn't clear to me why Josef was the "prince" when Aron was the person Gemma actually fell in love with, married and got pregnant from, AND he's the one who actually rescued her from the pit. I get the whole "kiss" thing but CPR =/= a kiss. idk it just seemed weird. and I wonder why Gemma never talked about it. it seems odd that she would have just...forgotten it all. is that a PTSD thing? I do think she pretty much forgot about her life before Chelmno, or maybe chose to forget; she probably lost all of her family there, or before. :(

What are your thoughts? Tell me your reactions to the story, the characters, and the writing! What was your overall impression?

Re: Book club - Briar Rose discussion

[kaijinscendre]

This was my book! I read it a long, long time ago as a kid. I didn't remember much to be honest so this was basically a new reading for me.

I quite enjoyed the book! As diet_poison said Becca and company were pretty meh. The strongest part of the story was when Josef was telling the story from his point of view. I liked that they didn't discover EVERYTHING in the end because that is sometimes how stories end. They are not always so neatly tied up.

I don't have much to say because I don't know how to write open ended discussions. :( But I'll probably respond to other people.
