I appreciate the thought, but I've been around actual musicians, and I'm not that.
I have only the most rudimentary knowledge of music theory, have only ever written one song, which was terrible, and didn't actually end up teaching my kids ukulele.
These days I just fiddle about with my ukes on my couch. If I ever get over my inertia, I've been thinking of putting up some youtube clips of my covers, but don't hold your breath.
I call that show 'Aussie Muppets in Space'. They had some real cool sci-fi concepts in that show.
I've played guitar on and off since I was about 7, but I'm still amateurish at best. I got some lessons in my late teens from a co-worker that got me good enough to bash out chords in the church band. Played bass briefly in a band after quitting the church in the early nineties, but didn't really touch an instrument again until the divorce in '09. I've been playing ukulele since then after getting some cheap ones for my kids and learning it myself to teach them and fell in love with it. I used to go busking with it 5-6 days a week singing and playing covers when I was unemployed and broke, but that ended about ten years ago when I had to get a real job.
I've never considered myself a musician, though.
Maybe they'll finish it in 30 years when the actors have aged appropriately. ;)
It's a shame they killed off Alex in the show because the actor turned out to be a sex pest. Amos is up there as one of my favourite charachters in fiction, and Wes Chatham absolutely nailed it. Thomas Jane as Miller was also brilliant.
I devoured both the TV and the books (not including Leviathan Falls, which hadn't released yet) during Covid lockdown in 2020, and loved them both. It might be time to reread them.
I had the same feeling when I was reading the Harry Potter books. Mind you, I only read the first three before tiring of them.
Readers of this thread might enjoy Dominic Noble's Lost in Adaptation series.
The movie of 'A Scanner Darkly' is the only time anyone did a faithful adaptation of a Phillip K. Dick novel, I reckon. Blade Runner is too different from the novel to even count as an adaptation, really.
I also prefer the film of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen over the book, and Steve Coogan's 'adaptation' of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy didn't even bother to try, and was more about trying to make an unadaptable novel into a movie. I recommend it. (I never did finish the book, but I do remember there being a curse that went on for a full page that was amazing.)
Going Postal was a pretty good adaptation, I thought. As was Hogfather. But no film adaptation could ever capture Prattchett's prose.
The Colour of Magic was ok, but sorely miscast both Rincewind and Twoflower, as much as I love David Jason and Sean Astin, they were wrong. Tim Curry almost made up for it though.
We don't talk about The Watch.
The Game Society Pimps have played a couple of them and made them pretty hilarious. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnMlh8dHsRY9E2yZEwqIk1RxF7bPNH8t_
Hahaha. Fuck you, you magnificent bastard.
