Flowers for Algernon (TV Mini Series 2015) ⭐ 7.1 | Sci-Fi 54m

In the long list of "Flowers for Algernon" adaptations, I recommend the Japanese one, from 2015, "Algernon ni Hanataba wo". Trust me, I saw them all, and this one stands high above.

A photo of the moon, above the sea, in Port-Vendres, in France.

A photo taken in the French city of “Port-Vendres", near Spain. What you see is the moon, in early evening. A bit of peace in today's world madness.

I can imagine that the text written by the AI so far was good and original. Unfortunately, the part that was good was not original, and the part that was original was not good.

I think Phil is wrong, this time. Unless a miracle happens, I would have said about 273 days of cold and gloomy winter ahead.

Yes, it is important to send rockets in space. That way, we can see the damages we are doing to our ecosystem, but from above...

Une chaîne scientifique sur Meta ? Malgré ses liens avec Donald Trump, le masculinisme de son dirigeant, et le peu d'impôts payés ?

On pourrait maintenant avoir un petit site internet en France, avec un flux RSS, par exemple. Combien de temps allons-nous contribuer à entretenir cette situation ?

I think there are many adaptations, in many languages. But the first original film was good too.
I watched a mini series in French too.

You are right, the fashion industry is despicable for the environment, not even talking the workers condition. Thanks to publicity, some fashioners are changing their practices, and some are using greenwashing.
Some people, like me, are buying mostly second hands clothes.

According to Edwin Black in his book "IBM and the Holocaust", the company provided crucial apparatus to the Nazi regime.

Is Amazon providing today some of the infrastructure, support and finance to the current American regime ?

Every time we are using AI, we are contributing to the global warming.

I thought I had more time, but one book in my reading list just popped up to the top. It is called “It can't happen here” and has been writtten by Sinclair Lewis.

I never saw the movie, but the book was great. Even if I read it in French when i was about 15.

A few months? You're generous...

I concurs!

Katy Bates is wonderful in Dolores Claiborne, like the other main actors. I highy recommend it if you have not seen it.

Forgive me, this picture IS actually from the adaptation 😆

This picture reminds me the film adaptation of “It's a Good Life” from Jerome Bixby. An entire city find itself under the threat of an omnipotent brat that sends anyone who annoys him to the 'cornfield'. A must read...

Every person confusing causation and correlation ends up dying...
It could be interesting to know who financed this study, especially in a country like China.

Time to watch battle royale again, and not forgetting the making of.

Wow, that looks like south of France in Summer.
Hold on, it is in Kelvin ? Ah, pretty bad, then.
The importance of units...

Does your cat have any siblings ? We need on in the U.S., Russia, China, etc... as well.

The world would be a better place with cats in charge.

The book is so better...I don't understand how come all the adaptations were so bad.

La prochaîne étape, c'est rejoindre l'équipe de reconquête, avec Z.

C'est l'occasion de lire un livre ou de parler aux gens ;-)

I just finished The glass hotel, from @emilymandel.bsky.social. Overall, the story is interesting and realistic, the characters' analysis deep and accurate, and there are ghosts !
The narrative and the styles are what you'd attend from the author, you won't be disappointed.
Thanks again to her.

This is a remake of a French film, "La totale !".
The original is better, the remake lost all the humorous aspect.

Bravo, magnifique !

It works, then. On one side, the junk food lobbies are pushing consumption to make you sick, and on the other side, the pharmaceutical industry sells drugs to temporarily overcome its effects.

En même temps, Sarkozy et le côté obscur, ça se tient...
