Beautiful answer. My wife’s mother and grandmother are Lola.

If you get the chance I highly recommend going. The movie absolutely makes for a dynamite theatrical film. Lush stylish animation. Epic action. And the soundtrack of the year. I don’t mean the biggest this year. I mean the music 2025 was tracked to.

This book RULES btw. Because it really plays with how Clueless fits in the canon. It’s a perfect comedy but by reworking the period specificity it shows how it fits as an Austen adaptation as well as a timeless saga

It’s actually bookended by straight quoting from Austen. Which I’ll note is funny since the movie never credited Austen despite the characters and plot being directly and I mean DIRECTLY Emma.

AI isn’t creative. A Shakespearean English retelling of a 90s valley girl retelling of a Jane Austen masterpiece that acknowledges all of these sources is creative.

I do think it’s wild that this is available now when the movie is a long way off. Admittedly they’re supposed to be a bit different but I’ll still get some sense of what one of my favorite artists is doing next.

I haven’t decided if I’ll read the new Nicholas Sparks book that’s meant as his version of his idea he’s doing with Shyamalan. I actually like Sparks in general so I might like it. Not decided though.

They misspell Lena Headey’s name in the credits. Really professional stuff

Scenes read like the filler they are. It’s all tell don’t show. There’s some battle scenes but imagine the prologue to LOTR except as a show

This is I need to stress actually quite bad. Like really bad writing. It’s fascinating how little it works. It’s telling the writing credits weren’t finalized as of publication. Releasing this as a book feels like a dark joke.

I love the contrast between this and Bernie which is almost achingly accurate about Texas due to the whole written by and costarring notable Texans thing.

Louis C. K.’s New Texas Novel Isn’t Just Bad—It’s Not Even Texan

The comedian's new book, 'Ingram,' is both baffling and subpar.

Here’s a fun book you might miss thetieinsthatbind.wordpress.com/2025/10/15/d...

Doghouse by Christian Francis

I feel like we had to get here. I like this book and I do recommend it. But I was struck reading the plot synopsis that I was not dealing with a novelization of a good movie. This is definitely a l…

This actually was a good guide. The SW books had effort. The ST books would’ve been early to AI. At times the contents were the same.

The Star Wars books (which I never read) always had better covers than the Star Trek books (which I also never read).

Has anyone ever gotten anything positive from LinkedIn

wordloc 🏳️‍⚧️ @wordloc.net · 9h

LinkedIn can step off for sending me emails saying I've "missed notifications". No I haven't, it was deliberate, I don't care who in my connections have been playing a dumb puzzle game and I don't care for your sycophantic dog-shit corporate social media platform anyway shut up

This night be his most underrated work. These covers were art.

Jason R. Wells, Esq. @jrwells82.bsky.social · 18h

Given that Struzan also did the covers to the '90s Indy book series, I've no doubt that your theory is credible

Reminder that Drew Struzan also did the majority of the Bantam Star Wars covers and they made the books feel legit.
