Friday Link Dump: The Slap in America, Frozen Censored and Anne Shirley on YouTube
-In the vein of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries and The Autobiography of Jane Eyre, a new web series has begun based on Anne of Green Gables. It's pretty good so far. (YouTube)
-The Slap is being adapted for American TV (because its native Australian is too foreign, I guess?), as well as a new Wizard of Oz series that sounds fun. (EW)
-Flavorwire lists 25 YA books adults should read. Pretty standard for the most part. (Flavorwire)
-Here are some movie adaptations to look forward to this year. I haven't read any of these books, I think now is probably the time! (Publisher's Weekly)
-The Mockingjay poster is here! Too bad we have to wait 10 months for the movie. (Facebook)
-There's a #readwomen2014 challenge that is a lot like #AWW2014 but not focused on Australian women (obviously). (The Guardian)
-You have to watch Frozen with unnecessary censorship. It's hilarious. (YouTube)
-Also hilarious: what if Google was a real live person? (YouTube)
-These 100-year-old colour photos of Russian are amazing. (Mental Floss)
-The portraits of celebs this guy takes with Polaroids are so incredibly cool. (Tumblr)
-On the more professional side of portraiture are the EW shoots from Sundance. Love them all. (EW)
-BuzzFeed stuff: The very accurate 15 things that happen when you work in an office; 12 historic bars every bookworm needs to visit (I want to go to them all!); This story of two college girls discovering they were actually sisters after becoming friends is pretty freaking amazing; and in honour of Australia Day on Sunday I posted these awesome Aussie manis and these drool-worthy Aussie recipes.

Just spent way too long going through your links when I should have been writing a review. Thanks for the distractions! I think the sister story is awesome and I laughed most inappropriately at Frozen being censored.
ReplyDeleteSorry/you're welcome!
DeleteOOOOOOOH!!!
ReplyDeleteI am SO SO SO SO SO excited for Anne of Green Gables. I'm going to save watching it til tomorrow but I hope it is AWESOME or you will have to answer to me.
And those new movies in 2014 look exciting. So many movies, never enough time.
Ahhh I hope you like it!
DeleteOoh the Anne of Green Gables series looks promising! Not sure if I'll love any web series as much as LBD, though. Awesome round-up, Belle!
ReplyDeleteYes LBD is hard to top!
