  • Honestly, there are very few adaptations that aren’t cheesy or completely removed from the source material in somewhat major ways.

    Take the Shining. Great film. Great book. The two should not be compared as if they were the same story.

    Dreamcatcher on the other hand, no notes. Perfect in both versions. Especially the fact that the movie kept the shit weasels in.











  • If I want an actual review, I’ll trust Jeff Geerling, GN, Explaining computers, Craft computing, or ETA Prime.

    If I want to watch someone do dumb tech stuff, I’m going for Linus, Dawid, …and red shirt Jeff Geerling. The difference is that the latter two go into it fully transparent that what they’re doing is purely for the “will it blend?” vibe and should not be taken too seriously.

    Linus’ videos blur the line a little too much between legitimately educational and purely for the entertainment value in a way that could give people false impressions of either the tech or processes.
