@soybomb43 Then definitely don’t watch the other 2, because it’s so much worse in those!

I’ve never read the book, and this was the first adaptation I’d ever seen that made me want to.

@soybomb43 Wow, completely disagree— I’ve never liked the base story, but I thought this adaptation finally fleshed out the sisters more than any I’ve ever seen (with the exception of Beth, who even here, her one personality characteristic is “marked for death”).

@balrogboogie OMG, did you like it?

I’m just back because the birthday/holiday madness is FINALLY over, so I just saw this.

For those who listen to Screen Test of Time, you’ll know I’m no great fan of this story, so when my mom insisted on taking me to see the new one today while I’m in my hometown for Christmas, she really had to drag me.

It is absolutely phenomenal, and I insist everyone go see it immediately because DAMN.

Ugh, have THREE episodes to edit before I leave for Morocco next week and I can’t do that and watch the impeachment hearings at the same time...

And the worst thing is that this now gives me zero excuse to delay folding laundry and doing my seasonal clothing swap over any longer. Blech.

@gaditb Oh, wow, extremely interested in someone starting this, and if they don’t, starting it ourselves in, oh, 10ish years.

Hmm....

@ScreenTestOfTime , but for the Hugos.

Our review of Gone With the Wind is out, and it’s predictably scathing.

That’s it, that’s the toot.

Laserdisc Oscars are only going to have 5 slots for best picture. 10 is a cop out. If you want to get nominated, make a better movie
@evan Does it have to be from this year because, uh... *waves vaguely at our whole thing*
