Inspired by 1: Do-over adpatations

[(Anonymous)]

Which TV/movie adaptation would you like to get a do-over on and why?

Re: Inspired by 1: Do-over adpatations

[(Anonymous)]

The Neverending Story! I do like the first movie (the rest does not exist in my mind), but I'd love to see it properly done - actually an adaption that would make sense to be split into two parts!

Mio, My Mio. I've only seen a very old adaption that was pretty terrible. Idk if there is another one.

Not 100% fitting but I do think that the Alexander the Great by Oliver Stone was partially based on Mary Renault's Alexander trilogy... and I'd like a proper adaption of that one. At least Fore From Heaven.

Ella Enchanted

[(Anonymous)]

One that actually follows the book, not just has a curse and the same name name. That movie annoys me so much.

The Chimneys of Green Knowe. For a start, the movie could actually use the title of the damn book it was adapting. Such a wasted potential, great story, fantastic cast, stupidly retitled, and poorly directed. The existing adaptation, called From Time to Time, was such a waste of everyone involved.

I think we're overdue for a new version of Tom's Midnight Garden, it has been a few decades since we had one. Used to be the Beeb did one once a decade at least, it seemed.

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoyed the latest A Wrinkle in Time movie, but I didn't think it captured the feel of the book. It was a good example of "inspired by" for me. I'd love to see another take on it, maybe less Disney-fied. I'm torn on if it would work better as a tv/mini series or another movie.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. The original series is slow with a criminally good soundtrack wasted on it, and it got cancelled because the creators didn't realize how dark the rest of the series was going to get.

Also, can you imagine if they rebooted Supernatural?

The Untamed/MDZS - outside of China though still Chinese so they can make it as gay as the novel.

Re: Inspired by 1: Do-over adpatations

[greghousesgf]

I'd like to see an animated Needful Things that actually had the same damn plot as the book.

Re: Inspired by 1: Do-over adpatations

[philstar22]

Wizard of Oz because I want a book-faithful adaption for once.

Eragon because if we get a decent movie we might actually get the later, better books adapted. Also, dragons.

I'd like to see the Animorphs tv show be explored again, especially now that we have better technology for special effects.

Re: Inspired by 1: Do-over adpatations

Modern adaptations of the classics, like Jane Austen or Shakespeare. They're just endlessly adaptable. We were living the high life in the 90s/2000s and we didn't appreciate it.

Re: Inspired by 1: Do-over adpatations

Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Phantom of the Opera, with leads who can sing, a Christine and Raoul in their 20s and a Phantom in his late 40s-early 60s, actually horrifying deformity makeup and prosthetics, and if not set in the actual Garnier, then at least not set during what should've been the Commune. A costume designer who does more than vision boards copying paintings and extant clothing would be nice, too.

And, please, a director who doesn't spend all his time promoting the movie talking up how young and sexy the cast and characters are, and telling fans of the stage musical to stay home because he made it for people who want to see young hot people onscreen, not boring musical theatre people who care if they can sing and act or not.

Times where you rooted for the villain!

Come on, is it not exhausting always rooting for the anti hero?

Re: Times where you rooted for the villain!

Hannibal.

Jaws.

Re: Times where you rooted for the villain!

[philstar22]

Not that often. I love villains as villains. Villains are fun when they are being evil.

In Jurassic Park I rooted for the dinosaurs, if that counts. All the movies, actually. Go dinos.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best. Please note that long comment secrets can be difficult to make with a good end result. Most of the time, I'll give it a shot but might not be able to make secrets where the text is so lengthy that I can't fit it into the limited space.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

What is your go-to Chinese take out order?

[(Anonymous)]

Mine is szechuan pork if available, something spicy with pork if not. And mala green beans. If I'm really hungry or want leftovers, I'll look for a tofu dish or something with rice noodles. You?

Fic Help: Americans Wanted.

[(Anonymous)]

I need American FSers to weigh in here.

I am writing a scene where a non American character goes to a gun shop to buy their first rifle for general hunting purposes. I need to know what would be a good simple rifle with easy maintenance suitable for a newbie that a reliable gun merchant might sell, but also a bells and whistles diva rifle that an unscrupulous one might try to sell too, and the differences between them both. Era is about twenty years ago/turn of the millennium and area is Michigan upper peninsula/Wisconsin region if that makes a difference. As a non American in a mainly gunfree country, I could use input.
TIA

Adaptations you never want to see again

[(Anonymous)]

Because you think their already exists a perfect version. (And what is that perfect version?)

Question

[(Anonymous)]

I dropped my laptop on the top of my foot this morning. It is swollen and black and blue. I didn't manage to get ice on it for a few hours. I'm limping a bit. But nothing seems to be broken. Is this worth seeing a doctor or just something to wait out?

Not liking eggs is infuriating

[(Anonymous)]

Trying to find savory breakfast stuff that I can just throw in the microwave or something and there is NOTHING without egg.
