@shirleyjacksons
thank you so much for fighting in the war on mike flanagan. i found it so egregious how he named a character in netflix the haunting of hill house after shirley jackson but had the in-universe version of the book authored by a male character. like just evil
yes! not to mention how the character of shirley cheats on her husband, when it is well known that shirley jackson’s husband was a serial cheat and that she was very upset and humiliated about it. a genuinely evil writing decision!

such a relief to come across other bloggers that don't like flanagan 😭😭😭 I truly do not understand how he keeps getting the rights to adapt these classics when it's clear he doesn't give a shit about them! he's just pathologically unable to engage with any upsetting themes whatsoever! sorry ik I'm preaching to the choir here but the Carrie situation is actually driving me insane
i’m so glad i’m not alone here lmao. he’s got name recognition now! i find it hard to imagine he has to keep “adapting” classics when he clearly does not want or have the capacity to!
it is unfortunately a wake up call for me. i didn't mind when this happened with hill house because (although i wish it was called something different) i thought that it was separate enough to just feel like its own fully original thing that's just referencing the book. and that the themes it DID have to offer were worth telling and well executed. but then he kept going and it's been a grim dawning realization of 'oh it's not because it was his first project it's just something he does full stop.' similar to like 'oh it's not that he wants to explore those themes specifically, it's that he DOESNT want to explore all these other themes.' this last thing has just... made the pattern clear to a point i can't ignore, which is a bummer. (the pattern is a bummer tbc not the fact that i've registered it)
yeah once you notice it, it’s hard to ignore. i know original projects are notoriously hard to produce, but damn, he’s famous enough now. surely he can stop attaching himself to horror legends at this point!
The Carrie show sounds bad, but pretending that haunting of Hill House and haunting of Bly Manor weren’t incredibly beautiful is wild. And also, at the end of the day, these are just stories and there’s no reason to have so much vicious hatred for one guy just cause he doesn’t tell stories you like. I hope you have a good day!
they’re serviceable as entertainment but they aren’t so beautiful when you consider the stories they bastardized. the haunting of hill house is a novel that is, at its very roots, about familial and social isolation. eleanor has no one who cares for her, no home to call her own. she spends the first 30-some years of her life caring for a mother who does not love her. she lives with her sister’s family, who she mutually resents. she leaps at the chance to go to hill house, to be special, to belong. she does not have a happy ending. whatever walks at hill house, crucially, walks alone.
the show does not respect jackon’s story, it is not in conversation with it. it frankly takes great pains to trample on everything that makes the novel what it is. as someone who loves shirley jackson’s whole body of work, who has read at length about her fraught relationship with her own mother and with family and the expectations placed on the women of her time, i cannot see the show as anything but insulting and misogynistic.
i can’t speak about bly manor because i haven’t read the turn of the screw, though i’ve heard similar complaints from those who have.
what difficult themes do you think mike has trouble with the most
anything you might find in gothic fiction such as familial abuse, incest, period typical misogyny/racism/homophobia, etc. pretty much anything that isn’t pretty and easily resolved in 8 episodes, and that can make for more deeply flawed relationships and characters

I'm trying very hard not to fall into the whole illiteracy crisis thing but the number of times I have been like "Here is my stance on this very basic thing, with the extremely basic, almost childishly unnecessary caveat that there is an exception of X circumstance" only to have people be like "SO YOU'RE OKAY WITH X SITUATION? WHAT ABOUT IN CASES OF X? HAVE YOU CONSIDERED X CIRCUMSTANCE?" I am very close to bypassing "literacy crisis" and devolving directly into fascistic modes of thinking e.g. thinking you "people" are lower than dogs to me
Like I am genuinely stunned at how often I have to be like "I don't care if you think bad thoughts as long as you don't DO bad things" "So you're okay with people doing bad things?" I am okay with you, specifically, getting slowly crushed by a steamroller over the course of 8 excruciating hours while your weeping loved ones watch in horror, except I suspect you don't have any
Like I feel insane at how often I have to screenshot my OWN POST, HIGHLIGHT THE RELEVANT SENTENCE, and reblog while going "Read this again but slowly." Why the fuck are you commenting if you're gonna be like "Okay so admittedly, did not read this." Do what every adult does on this site and like the post while lying to yourself that you'll return to it to read it more carefully later and then forget it exists
what are your favorite books?
my top three are hangsaman, the haunting of hill house (both shirley jackson), and jawbone (mónica ojeda). i love fucked up women
I’ve never seen an actual Flanagan horror show or movie but I support your vendetta just on the sheer grounds that in his Hill House adaptation he made Nell and Theo SISTERS??????????????????
literally what the fuck!!! you’d think i’d have cooled off with the time that has elapsed but alas
please excuse me if you’ve already answered it, but what are your objections against mike flanagan? i’m not trying to disagree i’m just unsure of your reasoning
frankly, he’s a hack who sanitizes and bastardizes everything he adapts

Police confirm that the one person is dead after a shooting in Biddeford that involved ICE. The FBI is leading the investigation.
another person was just murdered by ice a couple hours ago in maine. there isn't much information so far but according to the article he was a man in his 20s who was given an order to leave the country. they're giving the same story of the victim "weaponizing their vehicle"
so fucking tired of flanagan getting glazed all the time when his whole thing is about the healing power of Love and Family it’s soooo fucking trite and insulting. grow the fuck up
me when i engage with something that i know is gonna piss me off: wow that pissed me off
