I think in this day and age they shouldn't have separate competitions based on your sexuality.

reading online ~takes about Stranger Things and it’s just reminding me that thinking about these things solely in terms of verisimilitude is boring and joyless

Alan Moore’s Jerusalem. Yes, ALL OF IT (and it would require an unlimited budget too!!)
OK, less contentious post:

You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

went to see the Divine Comedy tonight. Christ, what a songwriter Neil Hannon is. Going from “A Lady of a Certain Age” straight into “Our Mutual Friend” is just showing off. Also the show closed with “Tonight We Fly” ❤️❤️

THE OLD MEDIA ESTABLISHMENT IS REBELLING #celebritytraitors. They will not stand for these johnny-come-latelies, these “content creators”, they don’t even have a real job anyway
