I wish they would have made Dark Places into a mini-series like they did with Sharp Objects because the movie they did for Dark Places was garbage. And in my opinion, that was Flynn's best book.

Haven't gotten around to seeing the movie yet. Heard it wasn't very good.d But I agree that "Dark Places" is Flynn's best novel.

I completely agree the nuances of the characters were short handed by having such a short movie span. Giving each an episode to really act would have been great!

And it was so unfortunate because the Dark Places movie had a truly stellar cast (even if Charlize's physical type was all wrong, her fearlessness made her a great candidate), but with both the time constraints and a bland director it just...didn't come together. I'm hoping it gets another shot and becomes a mini series in a few years like so many others (His Dark Materials, Shadowhunters, Series of Unfortunate Events, etc etc).

Gillian Flynn is super talented, I love her writing. The questions were very well thought, quite the insight.

Gillian Flynn is one of my favorite authors, but I don’t ever feel like they do the adaptations justice. That’s just me though 🤷🏼♀️

With Sharp Objects and Gone Girl it was the endings. Everything else was incredible, but then they pulled way too many punches in the final scenes and it took a lot of the 'holy SHIT' out of everything else. Sharp Objects in particular was horribly glossed over, making the big reveal literally the last shot of the series with a blink-and-you-miss-it kill montage during the credits that tells you nothing.

I think Gillian makes it sound like women were not allowed to be bad but I can't really recall anytime in Hollywood history in which there were not some really wicked women being portrayed in films. Even in silent films there were some wicked women, .. In the 30's and 40's all kinds of noir films with females not being good. Even in more modern times take a film like "To Die For" from a novel by Joyce Maynard. Nicole Kidman gave what most consider an even greater performance than the one she won an Oscar for as a grade A psychopath who goes a step further than Gillian's character and actually has her husband murdered by teens she has seduced to be under her spell. What a layered performance that was!

All true, but I think her general point was that those women are too few and far between. Most of the time female villains are oversexualized, two dimensional, and/or not terribly threatening.

You’re right of course. People don’t read much, are mostly ahistorical and their film literacy is poor. James Cain, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, John MacDonald overflow with monstrous women like breasty broads out of their bustiers. Glynn makes these broads likable not likable for certain types of bourgeois women. None of them are likable for some of us who’ve seen these types of women work that nonsense about angels of the house. But Flynn knows how to turn true crime into a literary run. Concerning the evil that women do It doesn’t get any worse than the chick who killed her child and put her in the garbage, the crack fiends who sell their daughters for drugs, and how about the Mom who poisoned her daughters rival for the top girl crown ⁉️ Sounds typically female to me. This is nonsense: everyone knows how violent women are generally to children and other women but often to men as well. Who is we; who is us⁉️And btw: Karen still rules!
