  3. “With Tim Curry as Long John Silver, he’s able to add the relevant amount of villainy and warped gravitas. […] A role like Long John Silver only works if the performer treats it like a meal, and Tim Curry is the kind of guy who treats every role like a meal”

  9. My new #BedtimeBook is #TreasureIsland by #RobertLouisStephenson. I never thought I’d be interested in this type of #fiction but I’ve got used to reading #books from two or more centuries ago and it was lying around the house (my wife got it) so I thought, why not? It seems quite engaging.

  10. #BuriedHearts aka #TreasureIsland (2025-) 🇰🇷
    A man hacks a secret political slush fund of 2 trillion won for survival. An elite figure kills him for the fund, only to find it empty, leading to chaos and betrayal. True motives behind the slush fund emerge, leaving everyone vulnerable.

  12. Captain Smollett might be played by a felt frog, but Muppet Treasure Island is the truest movie adaptation because “it embraces the adventure and the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel whole-heartedly”

    Jim Henson (1936–1990) was born #OTD, 24 September.

    some people vibing in a #drumCircle on a beach in #Florida

    under the psychotic, itchy trigger finger gaze, of some very fragile losers

    you never know when some peaceful people enjoying life are a threat to your insecure egos

    welcome to #America

  16. Once vibrant #SanFrancisco #Street #Festival scene facing extinction as organizers face rising costs for permits, policing and dearth of event support #sponsors. Annual outdoor #events end decades of delight in #SOMA & #Fillmore. Others dropped on #TreasureIsland or dilly dally downsizing and dates in #Haight etc...

  17. I really, really hope that "Buried Hearts" doesn't disappoint at the end. My expectations are way too high now.

    Halfway through & it is the best makjang I've watched. The only thing that makes it makjang are the circumstances (look up makjang & you'll see many have birth secrets, affairs, amnesia, illegitimate heirs, legitimate heirs challenging the rights of succession, terminal illness, etc.).

    "Buried Hearts" manages a lot of these, but all the characters still feel real - not the overly dramatic fake characters you usually find in makjang.

    Eagerly awaiting Disney's next Wed. drop.

  18. In an effort to avoid my Korean homework for a bit, I thought I'd mention how much I'm enjoying "Buried Hearts" (AKA "Treasure Island"). With 6 out of 16 eps. aired, it's still strong.

    Makjang revenge with mysteries aplenty!

    Park Hyung Sik's character here made me think about his other main roles. He plays a genius in almost everything he's in. I'm curious as to why he picks genius characters.

  19. "Buried Heart" (aka "Treasure Island") finally dropped on Disney+!!!

    It airs on Fri/Sat, but it seems Disney+ is doing as they did with "The Judge from Hell" and releasing it on Wed/Thu(?) in the US. I didn't check until Thu so I'm not sure if they drop both at once or not.

    Anyway --- The 1st episode was so great!!

    I haven't seen any other works by this screenwriter, Lee Myung Hee, but her last 2 works: "Money Flower" & "Oh My Geum Bi" both have 8+ ratings on MDL (MyDramaList). I hope she can maintain the level of plot twisty-ness for the series. Such a surprise to get a big plot twist in the 1st episode!

    I knew something was up, but never did I imagine what was really up! Looking forward to episode 2.
