Gogol's Dead Souls Part 2 -- Thoughts, opinions, worth reading? by drewcordesin literature

[–]falafel1066 0 points1 point ago

I agree with the general consensus, but I still enjoyed reading it. Gogol is a such a master writer (or at least the translation I had was), that despite the abrupt ending and choppiness of the manuscript, it was still an enjoyable read. I think it's part of the charm of Dead Souls that you can decide when to stop reading, after Part 1 or 2.

People always lament bad film adaptations of good books. But what are some examples of superior cinematic adaptations? by CheatasaurusRexin literature

I had no idea there was a film adaptation! With Nick Nolte! Thanks for enlightening me!

What do you mean about ruining Neuromancer's chance of a film adaptation? Because I would love to see that.

I agree with you on The Grapes of Wrath. Though the movie ends before the incredibly moving last scene in the book, it still manages to capture everything Steinbeck envisioned. I think this may be the perfect example of the book and movie being absolutely equal in quality.

Do you have a problem with a pitcher writing something in the dirt on the mound if its visible on TV? by kmerfiin baseball

If you ban that, you have to ban all ostentatious displays, including, but not limited to, flashy jewelry, large tattoos, home run celebrations, looking to the sky and thanking god, and calling your shots (looking at you, Ruth!!!)

Good! I thought of a hilarious one-liner: "Well, I don't think Veggie is a vegetarian, because he loves those meat shots!!!"

Why is Usher in the picture? Also, easily the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Why did Dave McKay leave? by falafel1066in Cardinals

[–]falafel1066[S] 2 points3 points ago

I guess that makes sense. I was sad to see McKay go, even sadder to see his goatee.

Engineers are credit to other team!

Thanks for the loss!

How my mom sees Mothers Day by NastyNastarsin funny

[–]falafel1066 1 point2 points ago

You're lucky. My mom's b-day is the 5th. Growing up she always demanded separate gifts, even if Mother's Day fell on the 5th. Just means I'm picking up two bouquets of flowers from the grocery store.

How do I gain weight? by ROOTMinigunin CrohnsDisease

Or Ensure. Get the chocolate kind, put it in the freezer for 30 mins = chocolate shake. If you're sensitive to dairy, pop a Lactaid first.

Vegetarian for 7 months, bad alimentation because of University, having concentration/memory/sleep problems by rndzvsin vegetarian

[–]falafel1066 2 points3 points ago

Slow release iron pills, like this. Helps with fatigue. I've been a vegetarian 12 years, always teetered on the edge of being anemic, but when my doctor recommended these, I could immediately see the difference. Bloodwork was also normal after a while, too.

I was referring to how we remember WWII being the good war (and yes, I agree, necessary. The two aren't mutually exclusive), but even wars that must be fought have human consequences.
