Re: My Thoughts on Harbor

It would make a fantastic movie if reworked for cinema. I would personally prefer a miniseries, to give enough time to capture the different time perspectives and the way current-day events intertwine with those of earlier generations. Maybe something around the same length and mood as last year's ...

Re: First post-premiere thoughts

Not sure. I imagine one might get more out of the movie if one goes in fresh, for the reasons mentioned in the OP. Dunno how long it'll take before it's available in the US, though (it won't release in Swedish theaters until March 15). If you do read the book, make sure to also read the sequel short...

First post-premiere thoughts

Thea Hvistendahl's Handling the Undead had its European premiere today (January 26) at the Gothenburg Film Festival, and I splurged on a digital ticket so I wouldn't have to wait to watch it. I still need to digest the experience and gather my thoughts some more, but wanted to put down some first im...

Re: The development of LTROI (from Fail Again, Fail Better)

I know this was several years ago - but, out of morbid curiosity, did he expand at all on what he had written for the scene where Hakan attempted to rape Eli? Like that scene was already really hard to read as is. Not much more than what I wrote in the OP. Here's the full thing if you're curious (m...

Re: Reflections on the Novel

Welcome! As far as I know it's mostly over the last couple of years that the activity here has died down, but there's a bunch of us who hang around still. I had a similar first-time experience with the novel. It affected me more than any other book I'd read at that point, and I also had a burning ne...

Re: The Trailer for Handling the Undead has dropped

It looks like it will be everything I hoped it could be. I'm curious about how much of the overtly supernatural elements (i.e. the Fisher and the caterpillars) they'll include, or if they'll leave the resurrection unexplained and focus on the characters' handling of it. The latter would not be a bad...
