the Infinite Monkey speaks: not over
Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

I am just beginning, thought the bot called Over and this time did not think the notion was the least bit silly.

My Real Christmas
I intended to post this on Christmas day, but I forgot I had a quote lined up and it automatically posted before I even rolled out of bed. This is a video I made for a contest about what your holiday is really like.
Thanks to The Byronic Man and Go Jules Go, who joint hosted the contest! Definitely check out those links to the entrants, because there was a lot of funny stuff submitted.
Here’s what I came up with:

I hope your holiday was a joyous and not oo frustrating occasion!

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on exchanges

When things feel dire, it’s like the church abandons all that God has told us about who he is in exchange for what we think would work faster and better.
Here’s a hint from history: IT NEVER WORKS FASTER OR BETTER.

Which came first: the Book or the Movie?
It can be hard to tell nowadays. There are movies adapted from books and graphic novels, books “of the movie” (which I don’t really get), and whole series of books developed from a movie. Then there is fan fiction. Then there is fan fiction that the fans reject and so it turns into its own crazy phenomenon of mainstream soft porn and will probably eventually become a movie.
Anyhoo…
Clay Morgan posted about a movie supposedly adapted from a really great zombie apocalypse novel called World War Z. I say supposedly because judging by the trailers, it looks like the only thing they brought over from the book was the name. It wouldn’t be the first time that book rights were purchased simply for the strength of its name recognition. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn’t.
But it got me thinking about movies adapted from books. I started pondering which were my favorites, which were pure disappointments and all the reasons why. I figured that would make a good Query, so I started asking other people: “What’s your favorite movie that was based on a book?”
