Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is an absolute masterpiece and the best fantasy novel of the 21st century.

He murders a 7-year-old, frames a young woman for the murder, causing her to be executed, then goes on to murder two more people. Not very humane. Stop getting your literary criticism from Tumblr posts.

Del Toro's perhaps. Certainly not Shelley's.

I'm convinced Dano passed on what became Austin Butler's role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. That's about the only reason that comparison could have even occurred to him. They're not even close to the same age and no one has ever compared them before because there's no (other) reason to.

Honestly? Oliver Twist deserves a more authentically Dickensian and less uneven adaptation.

This doesn't really count, but Howl's Moving Castle is a funny, raucous novel, and would make a terrific musical, but the association with the dour Miyazaki film makes that impossible.

Christopher Hampton's Alice's Adventures Underground is the closest to a satisfying adaptation, for my taste. A bit pretentious, but that's probably why I like it.

It should have been 6, although 2001 was an unbelievable banger of a year for new plays on Broadway.

Also LBJ.

In huge part, he did choose Vance for that very reason on the recommendation of his coked-out son. It turned out to be completely wrong, but that's absolutely how Vance was sold to him.

I, personally, don't use "in the meanwhile" because I'm afraid I'll be compelled to sing "The Miller's Son."

Suburbs do not pay for themselves. The infrastructural costs that allow the suburbs to exist and make them attractive places to live are paid for with the tax revenue from denser areas.

Unfortunately the Catholic-flavored alt-right groups already *haaaaate* the USCCB.

Yup. Both generally in terms of orthodox Catholic practices, and also specifically, as in tarot cards are Catholic in origin and famous "witch queen of New Orleans" Marie Laveau was both a vodou priestess and a devout Catholic who attended mass every Sunday and was a pillar of her local parish.

I had hoped for at least one edgier choice like The Mission, or, better yet, Calvary, which is every priest I know's secret favorite.

Funny you should say that...
