Based on 2

[(Anonymous)]

What remakes do you want? And what do you want changed?

Re: Based on 2

[(Anonymous)]

I'd like a remake of a beloved childhood classic, and changing the things that I don't like but preserving the things that gave them their intrinsic charm and whimsy. Just for a change, I'd like that, too often they do it the other way around.

Re: Based on 2

[philstar22]

We'll never get it, but a Wizard of Oz adaption faithful to the book.

Re: Based on 2

[greghousesgf]

I've seen many, many movie and TV versions of Alice in Wonderland and not one that does justice to the books.

Re: Based on 2

I would love love love an actual faithful to the book remake of A Little Princess (age her up and everything), ditto 'The Secret Garden' (hated the last one - no garden!! WTH?!!) And omg, I think a remake of Gone with the Wind with ALL of the book stuff (Archie, etc.), and a side-plot or whatever of what goes on with the slaves/their lives, would be very cool.

Oh and - a by-the-book (by-the-stories) remake of The Jungle Book would be cool. With the CGI we can do now, it would be so awesome to have the animals all talking and interacting with Mowgli like they did (and get Kaa right, ffsake!!).

I made the seaQuest secret already, so there's that. But I would love a remake of Ella Enchanted that was actually anything resembling the book. I don't particularly think the book translates best to a tv or movie, but the one that we did get was so awful I want a new one to make it right.

Peter Pan

[(Anonymous)]

So this is a weird one, and I know Peter Pan has been done to death, but I would love a Peter Pan movie (or tv series) that was gender flipped. Accurate to the book with zero other changes except for every single gender is flipped. I could possibly be persuaded to have Wendy stay the same, but everything else must be changed.

Re: Based on 2

I'd love a remake of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Doesn't have to be 100% faithful, but one that sticks closer to the book. No modern AU where Dracula is a wealthy CEO or whatever. Lots of lush cinematography, flawless British accents and a big wardrobe and wig budget.

Re: Based on 2

I know the idea of a new Neverending Story movie gets floated around periodically, I always see people complaining about how studios are only remaking old things and it annoys me every time because The Neverending Story is absolutely one of those properties that actually *deserves* a new adaptation. The 80s movie screwed up the ending and barely covered a third of the book. An actual faithful adaptation would be amazing.

Re: Based on 2

[(Anonymous)]

Problem is, I tend to think the films that would benefit most from remakes are obscure ones with an interesting concept badly handled-- but they're so obscure that the risk-averse studios are never going to touch them. Like The Asphyx. (Look it up)

Re: Based on 2

Captain Planet, same tone and characters as the original. Just update the setting from the 90s and make the Wheeler character Canadian.

Weekend Plans

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing?

I'll be watching my niece tomorrow so my nephew can go see a movie with his friends. And I'll be finally finishing the bottom half of the bear I am crocheting. FINALLY.

Re: Weekend Plans

[philstar22]

Mom is travelling, so have house to myself. Getting a massage tomorrow. Maybe going to the zoo sunday. Other than that, lots of sleep.

Re: Weekend Plans

[randomdrops]

I love that you watch them so often! (Or often as it seems to a random F!S passerby.) I have really fond memories of staying with extended family as a kid.

My housemate is traveling this weekend and won't be back until Tuesday. I have the house to myself for the first time in forever and I am glorying in the solitude! I love her, but I also love alone time. The weekend is supposed to be lovely so I'll probably do a lot of yard work, which is my happy place lately.

Re: Weekend Plans

[pantswarrior]

Well, I've got two new rabbits settled in my house as of this morning, so I will probably be sitting and watching them in adoration a lot.

Also both Monday and Friday were days off work this week and I'd intended to spend them working on cosplay... but since I spent Monday making Oscar's last day as comfortable as possible, and then Friday picking up and settling Gremmy and Perla, both "cosplay days" turned out to be "bunny days". No regrets about either, but hopefully this weekend I can make some of the progress I did not make on Monday and Friday.

Re: Weekend Plans

[nanslice]

Will you show us your bear when you're done? I love crochet and wish I were patient in learning. ;3;

This weekend is going to be pretty chill. My local board game store delivered on my Warhammer 40k: Ashes of Faith preorder so I'm probably going to be building little mans lmao.

Oh! But I do have a tattoo appointment tomorrow. An apprentice at one of the local tattoo shops is offering free flashes and I was like ope, let me get in on this lmao.

I also have literally dozens of propagated baby plants who have grown really nice roots and should be in some dirt. :)

Squicks and NOTPs

[(Anonymous)]

Terms that have seem to fallen out of favor in fandom, what with their lack of nuance and middle ground, but we all have them. Share your fandom squicks and notps just for fun!

For those who need the reminder:
Squick = is a slang term that refers to something that is so icky or disgusting that it makes you squirm.

notps = the "One True Pairing" that gets a fervent No from you. Opposite of an OTP.

Re: Squicks and NOTPs

[kaijinscendre]

My biggest squick is humiliation in fics. I just can't read it at all. Which sucks because I like BDSM but a lot of times humiliation is involves and not warned for.

Re: Squicks and NOTPs

[(Anonymous)]

Tony Stark/Steve Rogers is a huge notp for me. I hate it so much.

Re: Squicks and NOTPs

[tabaqui]

Notps - Natasha/Bucky. Just don't.
Squick - super-uber subby subs who can barely function in the real world.

do you even write bro?

[(Anonymous)]

Just curious, do you write? Fic? Original? Poetry? Journaling?

I used to write every day but just realized it's been a couple of years since I've done that. I fell out of the habit without even noticing. I think it's because it wasn't really a habit I consciously chose, I just did it, and then....did not.

I'm really fucking sad

[(Anonymous)]

and I don't really what to do with that. I don't really have friends and my family is not the type you can call or text and be like "gee I'm really sad" and expect support.

*big soul stretching sigh* I dunno. Just sad.

Thanks for still existing fandom secrets. I really appreciate your still being around, even if I don't really participate. It's nice that some places just continue to exist.

How often do you shower?

[(Anonymous)]

And does it depend on the season?

just saw someone say they wash their hair (with stuff like bar soap, ugh) every day. Meaning the also shower every day, which is equally odd to me.

In the summer, I will shower every day, because I get hot and sweaty, and I like to cool off and wash off the sweat. It feels nice in the summer.

In the winter, I can barely make myself shower every few days. Maybe it's like once a week? I make myself do it when my hair gets greasy enough that I need to wash it. I just hate having to get all my clothes off at once and everything. If it weren't for greasy hair, I'd have trouble doing it at all in winter.

The not-fandom secret in the failbar...

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you, OP. It doesn't sound dickish, it sounds really frustrating. I'd expect a greater than usual level of interest in the topic due to your friend's recent diagnosis, but being ND and being able to talk about NOTHING ELSE is as annoying as someone who's obsessed with any one subject and inclined to endlessly monologue about it. My uncharitable guess is that your friend, like many people, struggles with feeling inferior and unexceptional and they believe that they've found their magic, solid gold soapbox that makes them feel unique and gets them attention. That's a shame. In your place, I'd do a slow fade and find other friends who are more well rounded in terms of what subjects they're willing to discuss.
