That would be awesome.

It says it's animated.

>>253033739

Yup, a live-action superhero flick that literally lacked any sense of self-awareness or irony.

It was like someone took Captain Planet and tried to make a serious social commentary piece based on it.

I fucking hope so

I remember really enjoying those Unfortunate Events books when I was younger. I tried going back and reread the first two books, but, I dunno, it's not the same. It's just kinda boring. Back then I didn't realize it was supposed to be a dark comedy. Now I do and it's not that funny, and fuck. The one thing I've always hated about books is how hard it is to imagine it 'correctly'. Like how the fuck am I supposed to picture the area around this character with so little detail? But on the other hand if they add too much it gets ridiculous and complicated and fuck, I don't wanna read anymore. I don't do it right.

Also that movie adaption was shit. Le funny Jim Carrey face in everything definitely makes it good, Hollywood

>>253041146
It was,mbut it was in the context of the story, so it's fine

I'm not saying it's a masterpiece, I'm just saying that in an era where every hollywood blockbuster and animated film is the same exact thing all the fucking time because the fat cows eating popcorn like it, it's a breath of fresh air, it feels unique, and even manages to shove in some Social commentary about how big corporations manipulate the population, but since this is a hollywood blockbuster the message is that everyone is their own special snowflake

It's still there, but I'm not sure if the people watching it will get the hint and actually think about it later

I mostly liked the Unfortunate Events books because they actually showed a villain who managed to win more often than not.

Compared to practically every other book where the child protag wins the day because of the power of friendship or their mother's love, it was a breath of fresh air to see a bunch of kids getting the shit end of the stick at every turn and have no resolution.

I have more trouble with how characters actually look.

Unfortunate Events didn't really have this problem because of Brett Helquist's fantastic illustrations.

I think there were two spin-off/side books that add more clues. One is a "biography" of the Lemony Snickett character that reveals a lot about what exactly his role was, another is a cool (but probably hard to find complete) sort of experimental collection of in-universe documents and letters mostly pertaining to the Baudelaire family. Neither explains everything outright but offer clues that the reader can piece together.

Or you can look it up on the internet.

An essential part of becoming an adult, as well as a decent human being is to shame your intrusive thoughts, for as innocent as they may be, like a Calvin and Hobbes movie, or a cheap easy alternative to life, and respect the part of your brain that warns you not to do certain things and actually think about what you're doing

Thank you for reminding me these existed

The books are still in good condition dispite me reading the fuck out of them years ago.

Whoa shit, I just remembered. A long time ago, some faggot made my class get in an indoor tent and he read some creepy poem or stories to us and one them involved some dumb shit about a girl who always wore a scarf. She met this boy, married him and on her deathbed, she finally showed him that underneath the scarf she was actually decapitated. I thought it was so dumb, but it was supposed to be scary or some shit

Oh and while I'm at it, this shit has been eating at me for years and years. I remember years and years ago there was some song about an ugly lady my kindergarden(?) class sang. And it got really complicated and funny because of it or something. I cannot for the life of me remember the name, but I know the teacher drew a little image to help us keep track of all the crap the woman wore... Or looked like.

>>253046235
I actually like that as a story idea, about a relationship with someone who is grotesquely deformed in a literally impossible way that their partner doesn't know about until the end. It's not really scary, but very interesting.

I think a Battleship movie could have been great, but modern hollywood is ass.

They were aiming for Teenagers with that movie. Most teenagers don't know what the fuck Battleship is and even if they liked the movie they wouldn't have checked out the board game.

The movie should have been a strategic war movie that aimed for young adults to adults. People who would watch it, enjoy it, and go out and buy the board game to play with their younger sibling/children.

>>253046873
Like everything about the series tried to subvert normal children's series expectations, so I don't know why one would expect a straightforward, pat ending. Then again we were kids and that's what kids want.

Looking back though I think those books influenced my taste and worldview in a major but subtle way, but I have no idea how.

>>253046967
They probably had like a fear of public speaking or something. Not everyone is good at the same things. Not everyone's parents read to them outside of school when they were younger. It's not like you lose anything by burning through an hour of English waiting for the class to popcorn its way to the next paragraph.

Also I know (or at least hope) you read Gatsby in HS. I think the first line is relevant in this case.

I just did not want to waste the time and the paper writing down the formulas I'd forget in a day. The teacher was a pushover and just gave me the grade I needed to pass for the hell of it. Only about a year ago did I find out I have some chemical issue which makes me tired all the time. I used to be the smart kid, but by like, third grade I remember being bored by the material.

I don't know if these were very popular but The Edge Chronicles remains one of my favorite fantasy universes even among "adult" fantasy lit.

In the scary, scary house there was a creaky, creaky floor.

I don't know if I should move on. It gets very scary

Everyone talks about their middle school experience being awesome, but it fucked me socially in the long run. The sad part is that it took me until now (22) to realize this.

>I've been reading Catching Fire
>Oh yeah?
>Yeah and it's SO good, the text is really big and takes up the whole page so it makes me feel smart

They were great. New ones are still being release, but I can't imagine them being good as the original four.

Eoin Colfer also wrote a YA sci-fi novel called the Supernaturalists aroun the same time which I liked better, but he didn't produce any sequels.
