the construction work right outside is driving me insane today it's rlly bad. i wish i could go to the library and hang out there just reading for a couple of hours but guess what, there are always annoying fuckface kids there running around yelling. and in todays society we dont longer tell ppl to be quiet at the library, children are allowed to be as loud as they please everywhere!!!!

the more i read mortal engines the more i understand why fans who grew up with the book were livid about the film. the film didn't just cut huge chunks of plot and worldbuilding, but it changed a lot of things entirely, not just the characters' ages.
although. having seen the film first, i think there are some things the film actually does a little better. personally, i think tom, despite being a little bland, is more likable and aging the characters up was a good choice. i also prefer the badges over the tattoos (i feel they'd look a bit goofy on screen) and find the handling of shrike's motivation and death a little more satisfying and emotional.
the film is a liiiittle cowardly for not totally mangling hester's face, though. it would have been cool if they committed to her lost eye, twisted mouth, and missing or badly scarred nose. i mean, letting a female character be "ugly" and "scary" but still a hero? badass. instead they just gave her 1 attractively placed scar and called it a day. and, like, it's fine since hera still kills the role and looks absolutely ferocious. but. y'know. we could've had more.
still. i like both versions. they're different but fun in their own way and set out what they're meant to do pretty well. kind of like how i feel about the uncharted games vs the uncharted film; i love them both and don't think the uncharted film is any lesser for not being a perfect match to the games because it's still enjoyable.

honestly, the list of offences the ted lasso writers have committed against moe......... it's so long.
like, let's start with the completely incomprehensible 'haha moe is swiss' thing. like, is the joke 'haha swiss people are supposed to be white' ... ? bc that's a very right wing train of thought which always appears when a football nt no longer is 100% white. so the whole 'ahaha can a black man be swiss?' is a strange punch line to attempt in a cutesy sitcom.
then we have the fact that they gave him a made up surname which sounds like 'cumberbatch' but most people see as some 'play on a silly british name' which is still my nr 1 gripe bc they either did this not knowing that cumberbatch is a common carribean name bc the family were slave owners in the carribean, or they knew and just thought it was a good idea. i have to assume they didn't know, bc i don't think they ever hinted at him being carribean, that's just what made sense to me.
add to this how every time moe gets a line the outcome is 'ahahaha what a weird guy' and it's honestly enough to make you wanna break something

the thing is… musicians are not obligated to explain what their songs are about to you! especially if it’s something deeply personal that they don’t want to talk about further and just wanted to make a song about to move on from that situation or if it is a love song they are not obligated to tell you who it is about! just because a song is public it doesn’t mean they owe you an explanation! some of them do it because they want to but not everyone is the same and like to keep things private and we as listeners have to respect that
