Small Talk - general conversation
I apologize for the late roll out of this group. My plan was to have it up and running by Nov 5th. However I had a death in the family and my house was invaded by traveling family. Everyone is now gone - and altho I am exhausted...lol - I will get this up and running. Thanks for being patient. Hope you enjoy the group.
Please everyone Introduce yourself as you join our group. I will start it off... https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Have a book you are reading or a movie you are watching - and want to chat about? Just go to the link below and let me know. I will get it posted for you. Give me what info you have - will it be a TV series or a movie? Author for the book. Current, older or upcoming? Thanks https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving Day!
Anyone planning on watching Emancipation with Will Smith that hit Apple+ today? I hear that the movie theater has been boycotted due to the Chris Rock incident.
Yes, I went and seen Emancipation. I went to the movie theater to watch it. Some folks were already there, but most of them were senior citizen age, but it always is during the daytime. I will NOT boycott Will's movies, because of what he did to Chris. Will is an actor, and a damn good one at that. No one seems to be boycotting any of the football games because of Jerry Jones or Brett Favre...I'm not trying to throw the race card in this matter one bit, but those last folks I have mentioned seem to have made a HUGH mark on many more people than just a slap on Chris's face. The beef was between them two, not the entire world.
Stephanie did you see any sign of anyone boycotting the film where your theater was? I have not seen it live on any news, etc, just read that it was happening. Who knows, maybe that was just publicity too and not really happening? I am not a fan of Smith's comedy, but his drama movies are always good and leave you thinking.
Did you enjoy the movie?
I enjoyed the movie very much. I knew about Peter when I was a child. Many Black American's knows what happened in the past, as well as the past repeating. I seen a few boycott this movie, and yet said NOTHING about Brett and the millions stolen, NOTHING about Jerry Jones and trying to keep Black Americans out of public schools, and yet folks wonder why this country is so divided. The media picks what they want to cover, they have been doing that from day one. Will Smith is a good actor, Has always been, and will always be. I don't dismiss what he did to Chris. People have got to quit beating a dead horse. Why is it that certain folks seem to only want to pick and choose who to forgive and who shouldn't?

Good Morning people, So Monday, I will be doing a screening on a movie called: WOMEN TALKING...I believe what folks have said is that there is a book about this. I did NOT read the book, but will be screening the movie...
KINDRED,,,,I watched ALL episodes, and loved every last one of them. Then I got with a bunch of VR friends, and we watched it on our VR ( Quest 2 )...In BIG SCREEN...awesome, just awesome...then after that, I got my mother hooked on it, and we all can't wait until next year for the new upcoming season of KINDRED....
to all you already celebrating and to those soon to celebrate. May you have a great a year in 2023!
And a very happy new year to you, Sandi, and everyone!And deep gratitude to you, Sandi, for the incredible job you do as our moderator.
This group has been really quite as of late. What are you reading? What are you watching? I just started the Apple+ series of Shantaram after reading the 936 page book - which is only book one of two. Book 2 is the same length too.
Phyllis be sire to get your comments in the "Winder" thread.

Do any of you care for the Everything Everywhere film? I started it, loved the star and the Jamie Leigh Curtis character, but disliked it intensely otherwise. Stopped watching as soon as JLC's first scene was over. It just wasn't my genre.
I haven't tried to watch it yet, but will let you know when I do.
Anyone else watching Sandition on PBS? This is the third and last season. Not sure how may episode for this season.

Well that is about 6 too few - but I guess we will take what we can get. Thanks Ruby
Another new possibility...Per The Independent
(The Independent is a British online newspaper. It was established in 1986 as a national morning printed paper. Nicknamed the Indy, it began as a broadsheet and changed to tabloid format in 2003.)
Warner Bros ‘in talks’ with JK Rowling about Harry Potter TV series 4/4/23 Tom Murray
A Harry Potter TV series is under discussion between Warner Bros and JK Rowling.
The media giant is reportedly pushing to convince the author to produce a new series based directly on her book series for its new streaming service that will combine HBO Max and Discovery+.
Bloomberg first reported that the media giant was “close to a deal” for the series on Monday (3 April). However, The Independent understands that while the proposal is “in talks”, it is not near completion.
Bloomberg cites two sources with knowledge of the deal saying that each season of the series will be based on one of the seven books.
The controversial author will be “involved in the series to ensure it remains loyal to her original material” but will not be involved in the day-to-day running of the show or serve as its creator, the publication’s sources say.
The Independent has contacted Rowling’s representatives for comment.
The news comes days after Rowling’s production company Brontë Film and TV reported a 74 per cent drop in profits.
The company’s subsidiaries include Harry Potter Theatrical Productions, which produces the play Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. Brontë has attributed its plummeting profits to the closure of theaters during the Covid lock down.
The English author has been the subject of sustained backlash due to her stance on transgender issues, which some critics have characterized as “transphobic”.
Earlier this year, the highly anticipated game based on the Harry Potter universe Hogwarts Legacy was released after being met by some unsuccessful calls for a boycott.
Warner Bros produced the eight films based on the book series, which generated more than $7.7bn (£6.2 bn) at the worldwide box office.
Is anyone interested in any foreign language shows from books? I have found a couple but unless someone wants to watch/read them I am not going to post them. The ones I have found are both in Spanish. I think there are English translations of the books, but the shows are still in Spanish. Let me know if you are interested and what languages you are talking about and I will see what I can come up with.
Does anyone know if there is a book that Bradley Cooper used to Produce the film Maestro? I know he wrote a screen play, but was there one book - or even two - that this was all based off of?
I see where our threads are getting rather long. I think I will start putting some of the folders in archives. They will remain open so you can still post in them. If a show is a reoccurring seasonal show then I will leave it alone, but some of our stuff is one time or one season and that I will drop in archives. Should you look for something and not find it let me know and I will help you.
I have tried three times to put in a post about the book
Neuromancer by William Gibson and when I post it, it seems to go into ether-land.
I have tried 3 times to post this to UPCOMING GOODIES and it seems to just disappear to ether land. But since I was able to post it here I will try putting it here.
Neuromancer by William Gibson IMDb - nothing is there yet.
Article in Libraryland from 8/28/24
https://alisoninlibraryland.com/neuro...
Summary
With groundbreaking technology, stunning visuals, and a visionary cast and crew, Neuromancer promises to be a thrilling and unforgettable journey into the heart of a dystopian future. A world within a world.
The series is currently in pre-production with casting ongoing, filming is expected to begin in Fall 2024. An official announcement was made in February 2024 that Apple TV had greenlit a 10 episode series to begin production.Production is expected to begin in September and last until Spring 2025. There is no set release date yet but based on the expected filming window the series will probably premiere in late 2025 or 2026.
Now hopefully this will show up in a post???
Hoping to add a few more up and coming tomorrow - to their regular threads - not here.
I am gonna add this article here simply becuase it covers so many books to adaptation . ALL of Emily Henry's books have been picked up for either a series or movies. This article is older - from 2023 - so I will start to scout out what is happening with each of her 5 books and see where they stand. Each one is being developed and produced by a different company, so I am sure they are all in different areas of production. I will post them individually as I find more info on them. https://www.today.com/popculture/book...
I really didn't ghost you! I have been here, just not very active. But I will do better. I think I have a schedule to work from - since I have 4 other groups I moderate - and will be here at least on a weekly schedule. I plant to recheck all the adaptations that are already open to see what movement they have made, and I have a few new ones to add. So....I am off to get busy...
Ok Goodreads has me at a stop! They only let moderators start so many new threads in an hour or a day and right now I have two additional new ones ready to add and Goodreads has me at stop. I have been updating the threads that are already posted and also adding new threads. But it doesn't look like I will be able to do too much more today - albeit I hope to be able sometime yet today to add the two I have already prepared. But never fear I will be back. There is still a lot of work to be done in this group.
My plan was to work in this group again tonight, but I am in the track for a really bad storm in about 30 minutes - winds are totaling 93 mph, so dangerous. I am shutting off my computer for safety sake.

This is the place to 'chit chat' about just about anything. Open to anything that does not fit into the other folders. In moderating other groups I have found that giving the members a place for general conversation helps to not only bond the group, but allows members to voice things that they either could not or would not try fitting into other categories. So this is the place...chat away!
