Lost in Adaptation

For context on the most recent video posted, Dominic is reviewing a love story where a "man-hating feminist" falls in love with a hunky Trump supporter, and is eventually "cured" of her feminism. The book is written by a devoted Trump follower.

Today, The Dom compares the movie The Room to its source of adaptation, To Nie Jest Prawdziwa Książka(rough translation "The Room I Died In^" real translation "This is not real book"), 1976 novel by late Polish author Prima Aprilis. Honestly, when he made the name Latin, I guessed pretty quickly that it was April Fools-video. I think if he had made name Polish, something like Pierwszy Kwietnia(Polish for "First of April"), it would have been more believable. Oh well.

Happy April Fools! Also, I added some notes in this post. I wonder if you find them...

Okay, naming the author the Latin version of April Fool's Day was really funny.

Well that’s unexpected.

If I hadn’t read those spoiler tags I might almost have believed it… up to the vampire twist, because come on.

The explanation for the rooftop scene is actually genius.

The vampire twist was ACTUALLY a reference to Wiseau's original plan to make Johnny a vampire. Cooler heads had to convince him not to do that.

I dislike naming the author that coz it tipped his hand too much. The rest of the video was pretty believable. Even the book being Polish Which Wiseau is was a nice detail.

Good use of Blue's picture

I actually knew enough Polish to translate that title by myself. So I had an idea of what to expect. It really means "This is not a real book".

Today, The Dom takes a short look at The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer:

That sure is a random character to make a book about, but regardless of how it turned out, I will give her props for doing this sort of risky experiment. And as it turns out, it's been a thing since 2010. How have I never heard of this?

Taking his pals down with him, huh. Not cool.

Today, The Dom compares Twilight New Moon by Stephenie Meyer to its 2009 movie adaptation.

…I’m surprised it took him this long to get to it.

Today, The Dom compares the The Beach, a 1996 novel by Alex Garland to its 2000 movie adaptation directed by Danny Boyle and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

…For some reason I lived my entire life thinking that The Beach was a standard romance movie, not a closed-circle thriller. >.> Having young Leo Di Cap and Guillaume Canet in it probably didn’t help.

Today, The Dom compares The Snowman, 2007 psychological crime thriller novel written by Jo Nesbø to its 2017 film adaptation directed by Tomas Alfredson.

Today, The Dom takes a look at books written by his fellow YouTubers:

Uuh, are there spoilers for the Iron Widow? I still have to read that one.

Well, he tries to avoid big spoilers, but to quote the man(around 1:25-1:37):

Today, The Dom continues reading The Mister for charity, with Linkara helping him.
