From what I remember reading, yes there is some added content from the books that is not in the musical stage adaptation. I think it’s more of Elphaba’s childhood (which is quite a bit in the book).

Also remember reading that one of the reasons they decided to split it was because they couldn’t find a reasonable way to move on after “Defying Gravity” (This is the big number before intermission in the musical and really does feel like the end of that chapter) to the next scene in the film, so they decided to split the films too. Not saying it was the best way to go but maybe it means they can add more book related stuff to the second half too. The musical is sorely lacking there too.

Loved seeing him back. One of my favourites since he debuted.

Also nice twist at the end with the call.

This is kidz news, i think.

Knife goes in guts come out.

Some of the F2 races have had great close and side by side action. If we get that in F1 with the new rules then that’s fine. We don’t need faster racing, we want closer racing.

All I want is analog triggers back so that we can get racing games with proper acceleration and braking.

Jurassic Park. Those dinos beat many of today’s CGI films. Mixed in with the animatronic ones they just blend in so well. The story is simple (to quote Dr Malcolm) God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. There are so many quotable lines, as shown just now, and the music is pretty unforgettable too.

I tried seeing if I could get it to fail. Nope. Even right in the corner of the screen it worked. Fun.

_ Whether the hurricane will affect the F1 weekend at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez is still unclear, but that chance seems relatively small. Mexico City is about a five-hour drive from Acapulco, and the hurricane is expected to lose strength once it makes landfall._

So probably nothing to worry about then.

“Perfectly symmetrical violence never solved anything.” Gets a lot of use when playing Mario Kart with friends when two people hit each other with the same items or hitting each other with stars activated.

Gonna go with Mortal Kombat (1995) 45%, a video game to film adaptation of a fighting game is never going to be deep, but this is a fun ride. Could add in the follow up, Annihilation (1997), 4% and the 2021 film which sits at 54% too. Don’t expect much and they are fun films.

The blood moon rises once again.
