DO NOT TEST ME ON THIS. DID YOU THINK THAT THE ANNE OF GREEN GABLES FANATICS WERE BAD? OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA. WE ARE UNREASONABLE, AND WE ARE EVERYWHERE, AND WE HAVE NO GIVE IN US WHATSOEVER…
:deep breath:
Hey, look! It’s the first teaser for A Wrinkle In Time. Enjoy!
Wow that looks Coo…….

Oprah? I guess The Color Purple won an Oscar with her, which is kinda like a Hugo these days. Make of that opinion what you will.
Ouch.
Very ouch.
I reserve judgement. It may be simply that she loves the books.
Clarification: The Color Purple movie was *nominated* for several Oscars, but fell short. Later, the Oprah-less musical won a Tony.

😉 In related news, Kenneth Hite’s abode was found open and abandoned, with signs of a hasty departure.
Or else he planned this all along.
This seems like an absolutely terrible idea. The only part that looks anything like it does in my head is that brief glimpse of the Camazotz neighborhood. And I seriously doubt that this will have anything like L’Engle’s…unique…take on spirituality.

If this IS bad, I hope it bombs horribly. Because if it doesn’t, they might go for A Swiftly Tilting Planet next, and anyone who messes up Gaudior WILL be on my bad list.
