The How to Train Your Dragon live action remake feels and looks so unnecessary. The dragons look nearly indistinguishable from the original, so all that's being done is the cool CGI humans are being replaced with stupid real humans. Anyway it's going to be "good" in the sense of "how bad can a shot for shot remake of a fantastic film be" but it's going to suck in comparison to the original so why bother. Just pirate the original and save yourselves the price of the movie ticket.
#thank you for putting this into words#this is how I feel about a lot of the live action remakes coming out

Okay no I need to talk about the book version of Howl's Moving Castle. I love the movie but the book has such a different vibe and you, yes you, should read it.
Movie Howl is a soulful and quiet. Book Howl is a drama queen and Causing Problems and has a long string of jilted exes and couldn't shut up if you paid him.
Sophie and Howl drive each other up the wall at the beginning and it's really funny. Sophie and Howl are (despite themselves) very much in love by the end and they still drive each other up the wall and it's even funnier.
In the movie, Howl has been ordered by the king to participate in The War, and Howl is avoiding it because he is a brave conscientious objector. In the book, Howl has been ordered by the king to rescue his lost brother from the Witch of the Wastes, and Howl is avoiding it by any means necessary because he is a cowardly weasel who wants to stay as far from the Witch as possible.
In the movie, the Witch cursed Sophie because she was jealous about Howl speaking to Sophie for five minutes. In the book, the Witch cursed Sophie because Sophie had been doing surprisingly powerful magic for years without knowing it and it was actually starting to cut into the Witch's plans. (Sophie does not discover any of this until nearly the end of the book, but the reader can start to pick it up much earlier and the way Sophie's magic works is pretty darn cool.)
In the movie, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens, but this is implied to be nothing but nasty fearmongering. In the book, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens because Howl started the rumor so people would stop asking him to do wizard junk all the time.
The book lightly parodies a couple of tropes from Western fairy tales. In particular Sophie has internalized that, as the eldest of three sisters, her "destiny" is to fail so that her younger sisters will look cooler when they succeed, which is why she's so resigned to the hat shop at the beginning. (Sidebar: Sophie's sisters come up much more in the book and they're great.) There's also a really funny bit where Sophie attempts to operate a pair of seven-league boots.
In the movie, the fourth and final location that the magic door connects to is some sort of black void聽/ mindscape聽/ time portal dealy. In the book the fourth location is Wales, in the UK, on Earth, so that Howl can visit his family, because from Howl's perspective this is an isekai story.
#YES YES YES!!!#everyone please read the book#it鈥檚 probably my favorite book of all time#and while the movie looks nice and has good points it just pales in comparison to the book

Why do so many people make tiktoks while they're clearly driving. What the fuck. Stop that shit, you're gonna kill someone.
#ughhhh this#I鈥檝e only been driving by myself for about a year#and in my area there are strict laws about phone use while driving#learners (L) and novice (N) can鈥檛 use phones at all even if it鈥檚 hands free#and then when you get your full license you can only have hands free devices#plus when I was learning it was drilled into our heads not to touch your phone while driving#LEAVE YOUR PHONE ALONE!!!!!

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought "why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff," so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It's alright if you can't because apparently I fuckin couldn't either
#applies to pets too#the amount of clients who think they can just stop an important medication because the pet is doing better is mind boggling#usually it鈥檚 seizure meds but I鈥檝e also known it to happen for thyroid meds or pain meds#I鈥檝e also known people with diabetic pets who adjust their pets insulin at will#and then they鈥檙e surprised when their pet鈥檚 diabetes is still uncontrolled#it鈥檚 so frustrating because when these pets first get diagnosed or are prescribed the meds for the first time#we specifically explain that it is a lifelong/ongoing medication#and or to not change a dose unless specifically instructed

If you're having a bad day, just remember that it's going to be winter soon and imagine what will happen to all the Cybertrucks 鉂わ笍
#this is hilarious to me only because someone I know just bought a cybertruck#and he was SO proud and wanted to show it off#but I can鈥檛 get over how ugly they are
