Pinocchio
Carlo CollodiJohn Hoopes@mrjeffknox We recently watched Guillermo del Toro’s “Pinocchio” (2022). The plot owed more to the Disney movie than to Carlo Collodi’s 1883 novel, even though it was clear that many things had to be changed to avoid copyright violations (of Disney, not Collodi). https://t.co/kJwdtPKMZC

Childhood's End
Arthur C. ClarkeJohn Hoopes@MarkBoslough The “ancient aliens” meme owes a lot to science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, whose 1953 novel “Childhood’s End” inspired Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” in which a black monolith helps australopithecines to use bones as tools. https://t.co/geBKbSHjSg
