Blind faith runs into things.
This American Life has nearly 30 years of excellent content. I know it is popular so maybe not worth mentioning, but I think there is a good reason this OG is still around. It is superb. So many little hidden gems.
One of my favorites is the first section of What Lies Beneath:
A beloved drawing goes missing from Mr. Ablao’s third grade classroom. The class holds a funeral for the drawing, which accidentally unleashes a much bigger feeling than anyone anticipated.
But there are many, many more.
Yes, and as I suggest below, no adaptation has been made for all the books in the series. A movie named after the last book but seemingly not based on any of them was made. It shares a name with one of several books but that is all the is shared. So there are several books in the series to adapt.
Okay smarty pants… then I’ll happily point out the “Dark Tower” book is the final book, which wasn’t even really covered at all except for tertiary references to breakers. So, an adaptation for each of those that precede it? Does that pass muster?
That movie had very little to do with the actual story aside from a few references. And without Eddie, Susannah, and a well-danced Commala I’ll never be satisfied.
What is that cutie mark? Some app icon?
I use this toggle script in conjunction with a MacOS Shortcut that changes the system light/dark setting often. When the sun shines l, dark just doesn’t cut it sometimes.
This is funny. Unfortunately my post was removed as spam. I guess we can’t have fun around here.
Fair question. You just do fairly normal cleanup on the toilet. Then you go just across for extra luxurious full clean up.
Now that’s a callback.
Maybe The Shadow Rising or A Memory of Light, but I’d prefer if I could have the whole Wheel of Time series.
Forgot to add the why. Because they are incredible fantasy novels with rich characters, fascinating world building, and a well-defined magic with a system of deference that I really like.
Also, The Expanse is a competitor in my mind. Different stories by miles but similarly worth reading on a loop.
Probably my favorite realization in life was that I might be wrong. Always, no matter how confident, we are all wrong sometimes. Even about the most basic facts, we could be wrong because brains are weird. So, I just try and minimize that while recognizing it.
