  2. 1/2 In honor of #Netflix new "Lord of the Flies" reboot, here's the true story of compassion and mutual aid that really happened when a group of schoolboys was shipwrecked for 15 months.

    BTW William Golding who wrote the awful fiction was an alcoholic child abuser and sex abuser, expressed sympathy for Nazis, and professed that he wrote the hateful story based on his understanding of human nature. <archive.nytimes.com/artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/17/in-unpublished-memoir-lord-of-the-flies-author-is-said-to-hae-admitted-rape-attempt> #LordOfTheFlies

  3. #BBCTelevision #LordOfTheFlies

    I loved this 4 part series. A lot of complaints that it's too drawn out, or too cinematic, or too whatever.

    I liked it very much, the young actors were excellent. And it was beautiful visually and musically. A bit gory for a story dealing with kids, but that's the whole point, right?

    Really well done.

  4. I settled down to watch Netflix's Lord of the Flies and found it to be absolute garbage. Tons of AI and a cast full of children playing underdeveloped characters. Made it thru a half hour and switched the TV off.

    The effects were flat and unbelievable. They didn't even take the time to give movement to water features or depth to injuries. It felt amateurish.

  5. CW: CW - #Yellowjackets spoilers

    So yeah. #YellowJackets is a gender-swapping of #LordOfTheFlies combined with #Alive (the true story of a soccer team who crashed in the Andes and ate their frozen dead friends). Of course, there's way more going on with YJ, but I believe the origins lie firmly in both of those books!

    "The four-part Lord of the Flies, from Adolescence writer Jack Thorne, will hit Netflix on May 4."

    Do we really need or want a Lord of the Flies adaptation right now? That story is a lot. 😬
