Blab-log... Perché? = Why?
IMDB elenca 2,5 milioni di film (dal 1880 al 2019); Google conta 130 milioni di libri (fino all’agosto 2010); la popolazione mondiale è stimata sui 7,1 miliardi dal Censo statunitense. Ma l'aspettativa media di vita è 68 anni, secondo le Nazioni Unite (2005/2010)... Dobbiamo risparmiare tempo e fare scelte radicali!

The Dome Boom

I just finished to read again Under the Dome, Stephen King's massive but super-speedy 2009 novel. After the upsetting experience of the first reading (at the time when it came out), I took it again to understand why the long-awaited CBS Tv adaptation by Brian K. Vaughan is disappointing me so much. Well... the Tv series is actually slow and dumb, shallow and repetitive; but the original book is, on the contrary, really dry, fast, surprising and disturbing. I loved this second reading even more than the first one. How can such a literary masterpiece be reduced to the television rubbish they inflicted us? They tried in any way to spoil every wonderful character and the incredibile logical-narrative structure of the dome itself. Down in the Homepage the Poll about the Tv series is still available...

Under the... some...?
Dal 24 giugno in USA (13 episodi per la Stagione I), dal 14 luglio in Italia (Rai2).
UtD (dal grandissimo romanzo di Fantascienza The Dome firmato da Stephen King e pubblicato nel 2009) è la serie televisiva, realizzata da Brian K. Vaughan (Lost) per la CBS; co-prodotta dallo stesso King e da sua maestà cinematica Steven Spielberg.
Vista la prima puntata: sono perplesso e freddo... O mi aspettavo troppo da un libro che ho molto amato, o davvero odio le serie tv americane! Quasi sufficiente; ma il "dome" del libro è ben diverso: non è una cupola ma un cilindro che va su (e giù) dritto quasi all'infinito...
Started June 24th - USA (13 episodes for Season I); July 14th - Italy (Rai2).
UtD (inspired by the wonderful Science-fiction novel by Stephen King, published in 2009) is the televison series created by Brian K. Vaughan (Lost) for CBS; co-produced by King himself and his cinematic majesty Steven Spielberg.
I've seen episode 1 and I'm puzzled and cold... Either I had too great expectations waiting for the adaptation of a much loved book; or really I hate American tv shows! Barely pass; but the book's "dome" is absolutely different: that's not a vault but a cylinder going almost endlessly up and down...
