  • Screen Time: V For Vendetta
    Dec 7 2020

    After covering books one through three of Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel V For Vendetta, we are getting into the 2005 film adaptation, directed by James McTeigue, written (and perhaps shadow-directed) by the Wachowski Sisters, and starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving. We'll talk about this being a rare case where the film may be better than the book, and what changed from the page to the screen.

  • V For Vendetta (Part 2)
    Nov 23 2020

    There were plenty of options for our first graphic novel adaptation to choose from, and I think there are few more appropriate ones for November 2020 than “V for Vendetta,” the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd, and adapted for film in 2005. This is part two of our conversation and we were left with several questions last week: What’s going to happen to Evey? And is V secretly a theater kid?

  • V For Vendetta (Part 1)
    Nov 16 2020

    Though we are a little late for November 5th — Guy Fawkes Day — we unfortunately seem to be right on time for the impending threat of totalitarianism. This week we begin our discussion of V For Vendetta, the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd, and adapted for film in 2005.

    Halloween is over and Biden is president-elect, but luckily (?) for us, the horrors of America and its past are with us always! And so this week we are getting more Screen Time with the second half of the season of HBO’s Lovecraft Country.

  • Screen Time: Rebecca (2020)
    Nov 2 2020

    You ever read an entire book and not really get what it’s about? I bring that up for no real reason. This week on Popcorn Book Club we’re taking in some Screen Time with the movie adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s “Rebecca.” Last week we talked about Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 film, now we’re moving on to the brand new Netflix version, and we have some NOTES.

  • Screen Time: Rebecca (1940)
    Oct 26 2020

    Over the past couple weeks, we’ve been talking about the novel Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier—it’s a story about murder, obsession, and finding out the person closest to you harbors an awful secret. Honestly, it already sounds like a Hitchcock movie. And so sure enough, we’re taking in some Screen Time this week with Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 film adaptation to talk about the charm of the Transatlantic accent, and how the Master of Suspense diverged from the book.
