september 02, '22: this day, in 1854, the first chapter of North and South was published in "Household Words" , a magazine edited by charles dickens! also, coincidence or not, i happened to receive my new copy of the novel now. either way, it's my most favourite classic.

Fans of the show will read the books, even if only adult fans enjoy them. I've worked in several bookstores and libraries, and EVERY TIME there is a movie or TV show release, regardless of demographic, people swarm for the original novel. There was a serious uptick in sales of Anne's books after she died (common with author passings, people who are feeling nostalgic/sad, and people who heard the name for the first time on the news), so stores are carrying more of her books than before.

They're niche, they're rough, but Sanditon by Jane Austen and V, C, Andrews's books became bestsellers when those shows hot the airwaves.

Also to the person who doesnt think young people read: try working in book retail on a Saturday, over half our customers are under 25. We sold, I checked, 137 copies of The Summer I Turned Pretty and we're NOT in a big city or anything, just a large town. And that's just sales of the first book. Idk numbers on the 2nd or 3rd, but we had a cssepack in of the trilogy that was 20, and between Saturday and monday night they all sold. Young people read more now than when I was in high school.

See?? This is why I'm so glad we're talking about this, so that people like you can bring their perspective in. I hope the Anon who's expecting people not to read the books will see this.

Right, that would make sense. I think she'd be delighted to know that 🌹

That's very heartening to hear, thank you for sharing! Long live books! I think reading brings people together, book clubs, fanfic, fanart, etc. We need that.

*Persuasion (2022)*

✨Spoilers. Probably. Idk what you don't want to know✨

Anne Elliot was *persuaded* (see what I did there) to not marry a semen because he was poor and so she's sad for like a decade. She meets him again and he's like "you're mean" and she's like "☹️" and then he's like "let's be friends" and she's like "okay ☹️" and then she flirts with her very handsome cousin, Henry Golding.

The girl that Semen is flirting with takes a nose dive off of some stairs and gets a little brain damage (just a little) and she falls in love with a different semen (yay for Anne).

Semen comes to Bath to see Anne, and like I said, she's heavy flirting with her handsome cousin, H. Golding, who likes to cock block every time S. and A. speak to each other.

Anne finally talks some shit about Captain Semen, like "women love longer than men" and so he leaves a passive aggressive letter going all Nancy Wheeler "this is bullshit" and then Anne catches handsome H.G. makin' out with someone and she's like "bless" and then she marries the sweet semen.

7/10

I did really like Dakota J. breaking the forth wall. Not my fave Austen adaptation but it ain't bad.

I just saw Bones and All and I have THOUGHTS…

I read the novel long before seeing this movie to see if Timothee Chalamet’s character was worth seeing the movie in the theater. Like if he was a minor character I would wait for streaming.

I know what the book is about and the author’s cray cray explanation about it being about saving the planet.

I know screen writers take liberties to make the movie better for the average consumer. Shit, Call Me By Your Name was flat to me until I saw the movie.

My problem is when they decide to make major plot changes….

IT IS NOT A FUCKING LOVE STORY!! She eats everyone who is sexually attracted/or advances to her.

Spoiler below (for the novel and movie) ya been warned…

SHE EATS LEE BECAUSE HE TRIES TO FUCK HER This the shit that pisses off readers and librarians.

Not switching the parents, not adding other characters, not getting timeline appropriate hairstyles wrong (I could write an essay on Maren’s tragic bangs and Lee’s dyed red for no reason hair), but fucking plot changes.

I don’t know if Luca wanted to avoid dealing with consent or just wanted the characters to kiss and imply they fucked (cue shot of nightstand with condom wrapper) but he & the screenwriter missed one of he major themes of the novel = men taking advantage of women.

It is set in the eighties…. her bangs/fringe would have been epic, instead she got baby bangs that made her look terrible.

it irks me when people say that films don't bring people to read the books. first of all, film or no film, reading is purely a personal choice. even if the film would have been close to the book, the latter will still remain the main source, no matter what. some might have watched the adaptations already, and then still prefer to read the book. they might not think that since they already watched the several versions, which were mostly faithful, and know the story, they shouldn't be reading the book. and vice versa. so, once again, reading is purely a personal choice- adaptation or no adaptation.

Persuasion Trailer Starring Dakota Johnson Shows New Take on Jane Austen Classic 

[via Book Riot]

Netflix’s new Persuasion trailer features Dakota Johnson as Anne Elliot from Jane Austen’s 1817 novel Persuasion, but with a twist.

The original novel follows Anne Elliot eight years after her family convinced her to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth. Now that Anne’s family is renting to Frederick’s sister and her husband, Anne and Frederick are thrust back together and Anne is second-guessing her decision years back. While her family wants her to marry William, a cousin who will inherit her father’s estate, she has to decide what she wants for herself.

Although the story seems to mostly follow Austen’s posthumously published novel, the tone of the Persuasion trailer is more humorous, even showing Johnson breaking the fourth wall.

Persuasion premiers on Netflix July 15.

Omg this really isn’t the place for Witcher drama but the show absolutely changed a lot. S2 was insanely different from books, to the point parts of it (including the characters) felt unrecognizable to me.

Yes this IS the place for Witcher drama, in the context of books that are adapted into TV series, etc.! I'm glad you stopped by and shared this bc I didn't read the books or watch the TV series, so I have no knowledge of this adaptation's faithfulness or not to its canon material.

OK SO, if you don't mind following back up, how did you feel about the fact that parts of it (including the characters) felt unrecognizable to you? Why do you think they made the changes? 🤔

Ultimately I think it's probably necessary to have overlap of wanting a faithful adaptation that also makes changes to canon bc of time constraints, actor talent, idk, personal subjectivity of the showrunners, possibly a need to improve/critique canon, etc.. Stephen King didn't like the Shining adaptation, here's a list of big changes. Personally, I read the book and I saw the movie, and I emphatically love both. They each hit something different for me and I recommend both to people.

Something I keep seeing in many other fandoms is that when the adaptations make a lot of changes to the characters such that they become unrecognizable to some fans, those fans are disappointed, and they question whether that particular canon was chosen because it already had a built-in fanbase clamoring for more media (Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, etc.). So making changes to canon is a win-win for those producers, they get:

Positive attention from those fans excited to get more media, particularly updated/corrected,

Negative attention from those fans who are disappointed that the characters/stories are unrecognizable to them,

... And the ensuing wars between those 2 groups can be stoked for attention on the series, which can bring more fans of the canon material, AND new fans who are curious about what all the arguments are about!

Further to the third point, some people love getting into fights and they're happy to have the material to go to battle.

I've seen this happen so many times that it's hard to call it a coincidence. I still think different fans have different needs, and to some fans, whether a character is recognizable differs from one fan to another. Maybe they want the acting to be true to canon (like Banderas!Armand), maybe they want the appearance to be true to canon (or at least closer to it, like Newton!Armand), or maybe they want a character gone altogether (Tom Bombadil was not included in the first Lord of the Rings trilogy*).

My feeling from all this is that trying to convince each other about whose preference is superior is what leads to the fighting, and personally, I don't want to fight. I want to sit on my porch and enjoy faithful adaptations and AU fanfic adaptations alike, as a personal experience.

*Bombadil is absent from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy; Jackson explained that this was because he and his co-writers felt that the character does little to advance the story, and including him would make the film unnecessarily long. Christopher Lee concurred, stating the scenes were left out to make time for showing Saruman's capture of Gandalf. - Wikipedia
