Strike: The Ink Black Heart | Official Trailer - BBC

[feminis-tastic]

I want the Running Grave to be here already

[somebluenovember]

I tried rewatching some of Cormoran Strike, and I am sorry but it is an abomination how the show rushes through the content. It's worse for some books, and better for others but it is pretty bad, overall.

Nothing at all remains of the characters inner thoughts. Even the plot is turned into bullet points. Entire central characters are given 2 minutes of brief dialogue. There's a insane amount of sepia toned walking on streets, pub interiors, and longing looks, but the plot is just barely there. The dialogue is also...barely there. It's just so damn quiet all the time. There's no actual screen time for any...oh, I don't know, DETECTIVE work. And having just reread, The Cuckoo's Calling, Troubled Blood (my fav), and read for the first time both Ink Black Heart and the last one, the books are actually truly good at showing how detective work takes time, how it's digging and sometimes dull, but then... The show just does not have this at all, somehow.

And the sepia thing is just...why? Did you guys get your instagram filter stuck in 2013?

Watching Silkworm atm, and that one is especially sad.

Apart from the casting. CASTING is sublime, and not just for Strike and Robin. Could we get a remake, with something like 6-8 eps per book? Because anything less just does not make any sense.

You can read it as a stand-alone! Context clues are provided, only things you need to know is that Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacot are partners running a detective agency, and they're solving mysteries. There's some family/relationship drama moving through the plot but you can usually guess from the context clues what's going on, and it's not so relevant to the plot that you'd need to know about it all.

I read the Ink Black Heart, which is the 6th book in the series, without reading any prior ones and absolutely loved it. Didn't feel like I missed on anything!

I just realized Robert Galbraith's new book is coming out today! It's called 'The Running Grave', and I'm actually intimidated by that title, I'm not scared of graves but I would not like to encounter one that can run. All I know about it is that it's going to tackle cults and cult victims, I'm super excited to read her take on it.

I'll post updates as I acquire the book and start reading!

How many more nights like this will they need?

[batnsons]

I’m rewatching Strike and a) every time I rewatch this I just want to beat the shit outta Robin’s husband all over again and b) GOD these two are so in love it’s so STUPID and c) i cannot believe Joseph Quinn is in Lethal White

Lethal White Kiss?

I’m seeing some speculation that we may see a kiss between Strike and Robin, after The Hug™ and I need to go on record as saying that I will NOT accept it if it’s an “on purpose” kiss. 

That would be out of character for both Strike and Robin and sets Robin up to be the cheater instead of Matt...Not to mention it’s not canon. 

I will, however, accept the “accidental kiss” that should have been in the hospital scene. They hug...they pull away, awkward words are spoken, Corm leans in to kiss her cheek, she turns her head, and oopsie, now they know what each others lips feel like and that’s why they can’t stop staring at each others lips. 

I’ll accept that. 

I’ll fucking gobble that shit up with a spoon and ask for seconds and thirds. 

But don’t give me an “on purpose” kiss yet...Even though I really want it. If it isn’t in the LW book...it doesn’t need to be in the LW adaptation. 

(In the interest of fairness, I do want to say that I love most of the changes they’ve made to the timelines and for pacing. I really haven’t been upset with much, other than Cormoran breaking and entering...which seems wayyyy out of character and makes me wonder if that won’t come back to bite him in the ass.)

On Writing

J.K. Rowling is often asked questions by fans and budding writers about her writing process: where she writes, how she writes, her inspiration and her research, how a book comes about, from the germ of an idea to the editing process and eventual publication.

Here for the first time, she responds to those questions, talking openly and in depth about her writing including Harry Potter, her other children’s books The Ickabog and The Christmas Pig, as well as writing as Robert Galbraith, the Cormoran Strike crime fiction series.

Filmed in her writing room in Edinburgh and in a London pub, these three On Writing films provide a personal insight into J.K. Rowling’s writing world.
