November Nanos

Out of everybody in this comment thread, looks like you're the only one that got your wish, what with The Dom reviewing Sleep Hollow and Total Recall.

Will Herrmann

No more Steven King for a bit!

Dominic Noble

Also the play The Women by Clare Booth Luce and its 1939 film adaptation

gentlemen prefer blondes and i know what you did last summer are not super long reads, and charlotte's web is a pretty short read to do an episode on. i'd also like to suggest jaws but its like 350 pages and wouldn't be great for a nano review (oh well)

"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson would be quick to read and see. (The short film is on youTube, and I'll assume its out of copyright.) And then you'll want to move back to Britain. (Except "The Lottery": could easily be reset in an English country village with little work.)

E. P. Haury

The ultimate "in name only": The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

ArianeLP

Tomorrow when the war began? It's not short but it's not very long either (approx. 250 pages)

Jaimee Raper

The 2005 The Call of Cthulhu film, based on the short story of the same name. It's styled after silent movies, and isn't that long.

WillRigby

The Living Daylights which was a short story, Stand By Me would be good as last time you did Shawshank, Hellraiser as the book is pretty short.

just had a thought hope it's not too late but thought of Edge of Tomorrow based on the book All You Need is Kill

Calvin Atkinson

I would be interested in seeing this as a full episode, but I hope he could do both versions. The original theatrical film is my favorite mystery film ever and is pretty loyal to the book. However, the Masterpiece Theater version would be interesting since the goal seems to be “Let’s differentiate ourselves from the theatrical film and book as much as we can” which is different than other adaptations The Dom has reviewed where the first version is less loyal and the second is more loyal. No idea how the new film will be. Heck, if he wanted to do something different, he could even review the adventure video game where Poirot’s “two solutions” becomes “three solutions” in order to provide a new mystery for gamers familiar with the story.

Will Herrmann

Can you give us your thoughts on the book of Murder on the Orient Express? The newest film adaptation is coming out soon. Or any other Agatha Christie book really would be a good Dom Reviews episode.

Your Librarian

chitty chitty bang bang

Mr Freddo Renton

This is a sort of out-of-left field suggestion, but Victory Through Air Power. The book is essentially an essay written in the 1940's by a Russian-American immigrant pleading the US Army to invest more into airplanes to help America win the war. Walt Disney read the book and found it so compelling that he immediately adapted it into a film, even bringing the original author on board to narrate most of the film himself to explain his own positions. It's an interesting look back into mid-WW2 mindsets and probably doesn't have too many differences between book and film, which would make it a good subject for a nano review, while also having enough unique and not-often talked about history behind it considering Disney made it.

Tennelle Flowers

Do Maximum Overdrive.

Grinch book is awesome. I like the Lorax, but I think the Seuss Directed Politics Films are going to end up with the Dom's face looking like... :O This.

Bryan

How about an Lost in Adaption review for the Lorax. The Good One from the 1990's, not the bad one from the dark age of CGI Animation.

Bryan

The Maximum Ride film. It only covers the first half of the book.

WillRigby

I thought the Agatha Christie novel with the questionable title, would be interesting as well.

WillRigby

The Legend of Zorro, Total Recall, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Death Race 2000, Eyes Wide Shut, Sleepy Hollow and Minority Report are all based on short stories. Hell even Brokeback Mountain is an option.

I have always wanted to see Dan Browns Angels and Demons as a LiA, just because it's so weirdly adapted. I know they aren't short, but still wanted to throw it out there. So if you have time, you should consider doing that one. And yes, it was the first book, but the second movie of Dan Browns. They adapted them in the wrong order :P

Christina Balser

I'd love that!! I've read all the books so many times, even though they do get increasingly fantastical ith Mollys powes... XD But I loved them to bits nonetheless and I didn't know about the movie adaptation!! I'd love to see that EDIT: Especially now I've seen the Trailer... Now I wantto see you you rip this Movie a new one...

Saiyasha

"Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism". Light, but relatively fun, children's book with a recent movie adaptation. Could be good for a nano.

Matt Storrs

Carrie by Steven King! I'd love to see you do anything about that, as a old lady that was once a bullied little girl. :-)

What about a Dr. Suess book compared to an animated adaptation (which are shorter than the live action or CGI ones)? Perhaps “Horton Hears a Who” or “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.

Will Herrmann

The Dom addressed that in his last Q&A and said he didn’t think it would be a great fit for the show.

Will Herrmann

While I would *love* to see that reviewed, I’m not sure that a book with over 300,000 words and a 22 episode first season fits the definition of “nano”.

Will Herrmann

Wizard's First Rule (book) to tv series, Legend of the Seeker.

douledamn

Ever since the advent of The Twilight Zone there have been many sf/horror anthology series on TV which have adapted short stories. Reviewing a few of these would make for some interesting short episodes. At the very least you wouldn't have to worry about the problem of the short story being unnaturally stretched to fill the run time of a movies as happened with Children of the Corn.

Kim Huett

Also full disclosure: Bunraku stars my favorite japanese musician as Yoshi

“The Wheel of Time - Winter Dragon”. A half hour “pilot” covering the first six pages of the book. If that doesn’t fit a nano episode, I don’t know what does. And it was aired at 1:30am with zero advertising, so you know you'll have plenty to critique!

Will Herrmann

I don't know how much work it would take, but I'd love if you could a LiA of the Witcher - not from the Books to the Game (though that would be awesome as well, not going to lie), but from the Books to the Movie! That's right, there's a Witcher Movie! :D <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300657/?ref_=nv_sr_2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300657/?ref_=nv_sr_2</a> It's quirky and I found it to be amazingly fun, would be really interested how close it comes to the books / short stories. If it would be too long for November however, I'd completely understand and just want to suggest it for some other time :o (In fact, I'd be willing to go to the 25$ pledge some month to request it, but it's booked out, so... dunno when I'll be able to snatch it...)

Rutana ~

I still say, Hellraiser based on The Hell Boundheart. The book is only 100 pages! You could read and watch the movie in an afternoon.

David Phillips

I think "Holes" by Louis Sachar might be something you'd like. It's a pretty short and well-written book with a surprisingly decent film adaptation

Fraser

How about a video comparing the Doctor Who episodes Human Nature/Family of Blood to the book they were based on (Human Nature)?

Harry Thornton

Maybe Stardust or the Emperor's Club?

Button, Button and The Box would be pretty quick. It's a short story, so it wouldn't take long to finish that. I don't know how available the Twilight Zone episode is, but the movie is pretty easy to get. Memento might be interesting as the film and short story were written almost simultaneously. Or, if you were up for Disney, Aladdin would be fun to watch.

though if you'd prefer a book to a comic how about doing the new version of The BFG

Calvin Atkinson

kick-ass would be good and relatively quick to do

Calvin Atkinson

The Handmaid's Tale! Any version would be great!

Peyton Sander

LiA:s you could do that I can think of include things like Soylent Green, any one of the Hannibal Lecter adaptions, Let The Right One In (Swedish version, preferably). About A Boy could be fun, I thought the movie was a bad one. I would enjoy seeing a new Domoscars, but can't think of a book do one on. Maybe the Agatha Christie novel with the questionable title? For other types of videos, there are some suggestions I could think of. I'd certainly like to see you make a video about a game again. If you made a review about a book, like you did with The Cursed Child, that could be fun. If you read and reviewed Berserk, I would be a very happy man. The first 10-15 volumes, perhaps? It's a comic, so it reads very quickly, don't let the page count scare you. Could probably get through in less than a day. I returned reading it again this week, so I'm really giddy about other people reading it, and you introducing people to it would be fantastic!

Valter Östberg

I'd like to see more prisoner episodes. Barring that, I'd like to see a review of the film Bunraku.

I think the next full LiA episode will be Last unicorn

Christmas?!

Dominic Noble

A good gag episode would be doing Mean Girls and being like "this doesn't count" to the collective "awwwws" of a million Mean Girls fan. Actual episodes could be the 1969 version of The Lottery, Joy Luck Club, Benjamin Button, and Masque of the Red Death.

Sam M the Demifemme

A bit late for Christmas, but since the source material is pretty short, you might have some lighthearted fun with Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow.

Tim Bates

Fahrenheit 451!!!!

alexmarie500

A little late but The Exorcist.

alexmarie500

Psycho? I'd love to see an episode done on that!

The last unicorn. The emoji movie. Twilight.

Wincent, The Hollow Knight

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!

Oh - and both Shrek and The Boss Baby were actually originally children's books. There's even a sequel to the latter called The Bossier Baby. Those would be super easy to do as they're basically In Name Only.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children....fairly recent and would be a fascinating episode

Well, I know you don't like horror movies but I suggested this for your Halloween episode because it's short and the differences are actually few but clear - The Hellbound Heart/Hellraiser. The other would be the TV series Dexter as I mentioned to you before. After the first season they vary wildly from the books. There's people alive in the show who are dead in the books and vise versa. They changed the gender of Dexter's child with Rita - in the novels she's a girl, in the tv show he's a boy. They left out the fact that Astor and Cody are budding serial killers. In the novels a god of serial killers is introduced. They even have completely different serial killers in the tv show.

A Sound of Thunder, the Simpsons did spoof it once but as far as I can see there only been one film adaption from 2005.

Buc Reviewer

I second this. Also it can be a segue into "The Last Unicorn" since Peter S. Beagle did the screenplay for the animated LotR

To avoid christmas stuff. How about The Woman in Black for a short LIA? There is either the BBC version which did a pretty good makeup job on the woman in black or the daniel radcliffe version.

StoryLover

The man who invented Christmas comes out Nov 22nd maybe?

How about a review of The Titan's Curse? Would make for a nice follow up to your Percy Jackson LiAs.

Colton

Ralph Bakshi "Lord of the Rings"?

Mary Poppins, maybe?
