@EaglyBird huh your right, I need a new idol! Niel it is!

@Kermit1 oh god not this show. I haven’t seen it whatsoever but isn’t that the one people were calling softcore p**n or am I getting it mixed up? It why I haven’t even bothered to look at it clip, it honestly just sounded like a fetish fest.

@Snatcher yes yes yes yes yes yes and yes and it's worse than that.

@EaglyBird that dude's 3-part series on it is great

@EaglyBird Si

@EaglyBird I actually have never read those, but I have heard how good they are! I do know coralline though!

You have a really good point! I really love Tim’s movies and I will agree his writing is pretty bud or miss for me! But I just can’t help but be a big fan of his work! It’s just so enjoyable for me! And his humor is pretty odd at times, and I enjoy it! If they were to make a film together, would you want it to be original? Or an already established work Like Coraline?

Oh my goodness both of them? The movies they could create! Coraline is sadly going to be the closest we will get. Was nightmare before Christmas a Tim burton film? Or was it the other way around, I could have sworn there was a whole thing around the real creator not being credited, which isn’t say Tim didn’t work on it, idk im just kinda throwing this in here because I can’t remember lol.

@Kermit1 It’s worse? It gets worse? How can it be worse? Out of everything I heard there is no way it gets worse!

@Snatcher it gets worse.

@Kermit1 Say sike right now. If not I’m going to research out of morbid curiosity.

@Snatcher no. Sam Levinson should be blacklisted for what he's done.

Pokémon discourse in general, and this is coming from someone who's indifferent to Pokémon games as a whole and just watches people fight over these games.

@FishyS It generally has to do with sitting and actually reading the material. When you sit and read, you can take clear note of the sentence structure, the way that the pages are laid out, and are better able to analyze the author’s writing style and process. A good number of things that some authors do won’t translate into audio, like with some styles leaving quotation marks off of dialogue.

Audiobooks are basically like the fast food version of reading. Quick and easy, but you only really gain the understanding of the story and nothing more from it. Wouldn’t really recommend listening to audiobooks either if you’re trying to write your own stuff, since it’s harder to learn from the writer’s example.

@VoidofLight Although it's true you won't see the occasional quotation mark (though a good audio book would adjust the tone accordingly), I think you seriously underestimate how much different people process information differently. Even for sighted people, some people understand things a lot better through sound then through reading — for them seeing a bunch of words might be just something to skim but hearing will let them really understand the sentence structure. I'm sure what you are saying applies to your own brain, but that doesn't mean it applies to other people.

As for the way pages are laid out? I feel like ebooks or even digital processing and reformatting for different printings kinda destroyed that already. Although it's interesting to think that for very old books the way pages themselves are formatted were sometimes actually part of the art. Of course even then there are things missed out on — for example some Dickens novels were published in pieces so if you read the whole book you totally miss that.
