new curse:
may your favourite fantasy book series be adapted into a hit TV show
What I Said in a reblog:
In 99% of cases, I’ll take it. Even if I have to retreat into a tiny corner of fandom that only acknowledges the original books when the TV show ends up being a terrible adaptation that completely undermines the original themes, it still means the author is that much closer to financial independence and able to keep writing as much as they want.
Still, there are always exceptions…
What I did
not say in a reblog:
Too late, the movie version of Howl's Moving Castle already exists.
(I like Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki! They do good work! And I can respect that a lot of people really love the movie! I just don't know that it's possible for Howl's Moving Castle to be adapted into anything that's less than three hours long and still satisfy me, let alone any number of other changes that were made.)
