RE: Notes #33 - Playing Dice With God
Blessed be the fruit. (I can't believe I keep forgetting to comment these in my recent replies)
I have just finished the Handmaid's Tale (finally) and I have to thank you for recommending it. This should've really been said in the reply to the gratitude post.
Under His eye.
I recently finished watching the series also. Was ready fore more, so that is a good sign. It was quality television, wasn't it? I started to read the book but so far haven't been as moved by the writing. I've put it to the side for the moment but will return to it and give it its deserved attention at some point soon.
Oh? That's a shame, considering Atwood's one of the top in her batch. I've downloaded a copy of the 90s movie to see how it differs from the series. Elizabeth Moss really did a great job. MVP performance. She could pull off tortured soul and cunning opportunist at the same time.
I don't know if you're into it, but Mr. Robot is returning soon with its third season. If you haven't watched it, you might want to give it a try. Because it's something that I could've easily been if I was steered in the wrong direction, the theme is very close to my heart.
The television series was brilliant, and I agree that Elizabeth Moss' performce may be a huge part of that. The production values were high also. I will return to the book soon and see if perhaps I think differently. I am hoping that will be the case. Perhaps the show set too high a standard.
I am a huge fan of Mr Robot. Looking forward to the third series also. So you almost ventured to the dark side and brought down big business? The stories you could have told then - except you wouldn't be telling them, you'd be a super secret hacker named j3d4u (or something like that).
SSHHH!!! DON'T SPOIL MY HACKER HANDLE!! >.<
I wouldn't say I would've brought down big business, but I have, well hmm.. you know what, it's not me, but I know a guy who was part of an initiative to DDoS a university's system just so they could enroll in some subjects that would've otherwise been full. Definitely not me.
It's great that you watch the show, because I couldn't keep it in anymore. Elliot is Mr. Robot. Whew! There, it's out in the open. With regard to The Handmaid's Tale, I just watched the 90s film, and I hope the ending is vastly different for the series.
Oh no, is Elliot really Mr Robot? Actually, I'm starting to think they're all Elliot. :)
NO! Please, no! Haha! That'd be the next worse thing that could happen other than it's all just a dream or some scripted TV show haha! Personally, I think we'll end up seeing that life is a computer program/illusion haha!
Like scraping the bottom of the cliche barrel. Oh wait, that was a cliche in itself. Time to start back peddling (wait, is that another?). Gotta dig myself out of this whole I've created. Help - I'm getting attacked by cliches. When cliches attack.
OHOHO! Is this some kind of sick joke? You say that like it's a bad thing. This is your destiny. Try me. I was born ready. Now, where were we?
On a different note, thank you so much for the resteem! Much appreciated :D It seems I have uploaded an old version when you read it. I have since updated it. One of the lines that had been left out was how your Notes was an inspiration of it, so I just wanted to let you know.
