PerCarita

Ah, I see. I love the book. Just reading the first page gives me a fuzzy, happy feeling. Having said that, I'm also not a fan of Gaiman's solo works, despite giving them another chance, again and again.

I thought this was the century of the golden bat and TV shows are awesome. What makes you feel like you're over most TV shows? (This is not me throwing shade, I'm really curious)

Which is sad, because the way for women of that milieu to have any standing in society or a disposable income is by marrying. And the way to "seal and secure" the marriage is to have children ASAP.

I had a part time job when I was in uni. It was a crappy job at a cinema (it was not crappy, it was actually a load of fun, but you know, "crappy"), but I'm a millennial. My mother's cousin told me she used to want to do part time at a store, just to have her own money (her husband had a flashy job), but hubby told her not to do it, because, "What if our friends visit that store? Where do we put our face?"

Saving face... pffftt. I believe this is still the sentiment in places like Hongkong, certain classes in India, in Indonesia, etc. Upper class women shouldn't work or study, lest it makes them look working class.

I noticed this just last night. I wanted to watch an episode of a comforting show, and I've had it prepared to go. I only had to press play. Then I got a notification about a new video on a Youtube channel I subscribe to, so I started watching that instead. Midway through, I remember that my medicine cabinet needed replenishing, so I opened another tab to look for the medications I needed and I made a list of the things I was going to buy next time. By that time, about two hours had passed from when I prepared the comforting show, I didn't finish the Youtube video, and it felt like two hours where I did a lot but achieved nothing. It was as if my brain was slipping from my grasp and it was a scary feeling.

Rich white women of a certain age might have been the ones whose parents chose to not send to college over their brothers. Perhaps this goes for rich women of any colour. My mother's (now 68 yo) parents sent her brothers to college, not the girls. My mother got a vocational training, contributed to the brothers college funds, and then finally paid for herself through college. My mother's not white.

I believe that most people have a certain hunger for information and education, and if college wasn't an option, they'd look for these educations elsewhere.

The actors are fantastic! At times, I did have the sinking feeling that the actors were too good for the script.

I missed Pterry's voice in this more than I thought I would.

Do you like the book, if you've read it?

Suuper late reply. Morals change, ethics evolve. I probably won't be alive the day this happens, so I'll leave with a shrug.

Before we get there, it is wise to re-examine what we lose when everything is commodified. You might not mean to sound anti-woman, but you do sound anti-woman, anti-personhood even, because what you're saying is that a person's body (regardless of gender and sex) and likeness can be commodified without the person's consent, or even knowledge that it is happening. You might be interested in reading Michael J. Sandel's "What Money Can't Buy" and examine your fantasy from an economic-political point of view.

The days of overclocking your CPU so that your pr0n would load faster TT__TT and we used emojis like that. Those were dark days, but people learned a lot about CPU cooling.

I haven't watched the Wyrd Sisters adaptation. Where can I see it?

You (lucky) Bastard! ;)

Troll Bridge, from Snowgum Films. Adapted from one of Pterry's short stories with Cohen as its main character. It's on Youtube. You can also see the making of documentary, the whole process is nothing short of miraculous.

It started as an independent production before catching the eye of Rob Wilkins (Pterry's assistant), I believe. And then the financing side was taken over by the estate so that the producers could work full time on the film.
