Books that should be made into movies - Part 1

  

Books that need to be made into movies!

 This will likely start out with little traffic but please anybody that comes across this - as long as constructive - I'd like you to add books and discussion on books that should be made into movies.  Bonus points for anyone that makes storyboards or with AI pictures from neverworks...!

As I titled this I want suggestions for books that should be made into movies.  I'll put some criteria

The last 10 ish years have been a hell of horrible remakes of great classics and being a "Scifi/fantasy geek" with an eclectic reading list it has been exceptionally painful for I know they could have made TEN "Battle Beyond the Stars" for one of these modern Woke-bustiers.

When it comes down to it we have a wealth of exceptional scifi and fantasy that has not been turned into movies.  From the mid 40s to the mid 80s, my opinion, are the best.  Note that Star Wars and to a lesser bit Star Trek are not that original but rather a tribute to the long standing literary world of sci-fi and fantasy.  Conan was at least a direct adaptation of one of the best of its genre, namely REH's Conan though seen through the comics and later Carter/DeCamp adaptations as much.

I love fantasy, scifi and adventure fiction and have all my life.  I do not enshrine the past but grew up reading novels, magazines, comics from 2+ decades ago due to my city (small town to most of you) having limited "new" stuff but lots in many used bookstores and an excellent library.  New to me.  So I read what was the greatest eras, from the classics like HG Wells to the late/mid 80s and was so into that I didn't notice the shift of the late 80s into the 90s.  When I was a young adult and able to be a "Tycoon" and buy new books it was a shock the "Woke" or what we called "Political Correctness" had been forced into them.

New Year 2024

 OK - going to dust this thing off for real now.

This year - LOW "Social media" - high own website activity.  As a buddy pointed out better to have an island on the net than shouting to be heard in a lonely but crowded place.  Social Media is a Satanic poison on society and the ideals of the early WWW internet.  We knew about it then - the fear the internet would be turned into "TV 2.0" and the only communication is to buy things from a limited number of big companies.

Social Media started as a way for the uncreative and non-tech inclined people to have their own websites which was trendy then but potentially very expensive.  The modern "Social media" grew from "Free" webhosting and message board sites like Plastic but morphed into the monsters we have today.  So as servers like Dreamhost (I recommend) set themselves up so you'd not need to take a HTML class then get ruined worse than a RIAA lawsuit threatened if your "Cat" page went viral.  It pulled out a lot of the air from the DIY website people and then over a few years turned into the sludge pit we have today.

Hey - not knockin' anyone, I got sucked in myself.  All the time I wasted with pointless 'arguments' with people who were tinpot generals and possibly some early bots/AIs...?

Can't change that but will push forward.

What I will do is change directions so I can publish some good stories I've written, many already done.  These aren't long novels but rather short stories so I'll sell them for a few $ each.

Therefore most of my internet time will be just posting notice when I do an update, especially another story.  I will pass around or 're-...whatever' some stuff I like to help the indie balls rolling, but no huge announcements over fake politics and debate over absurd "Issues".  All they do is try to get people to argue so they see more ads.

  I might advertise but per "Dead Internet" I think it largely only pays a gulag click farm.  A friend of mine used to use twitter a lot and whenever he advertised a product of his the hits came in but zero response.  Now his stuff is super NSFW but then again if you go on that toxic sh-thole there's tons of cam girls and trans- people waving their junk in front of you.

Oh - btw - while I will certainly use AI art I'll continue to employ the talents of the various illustrators I've worked with over the years.  Most illustrators who do commission work just do figures and HATE detailed backgrounds, crowds, etc. so there's no "Jurrrb" taken, just an improvement in quality for work that was refused.  I actually spent good $ with a friend to upgrade Corel Painter and 3D software over this refusal for work and then AIart came into play so it'll be used less...oh well...
