I think it should be left alone. Not everything needs a shittier overly condensed film.

I feel like it would be difficult to translate the footnotes and layers to the story.

This reminds me that I need to finish House of Leaves.

Question for those of you who have read it:

I tend to exclusively read books electronically. Am I correct in assuming that because of the idiosyncrasies of this particular story, it's essential to read it in physical book form?

I would say yes. Holding it in your hands is definitely part of the experience with this book.

That movie should have stayed on YouTube.

Incidentally, there's a cool video reproducing the 5 and a half minute hallway on YouTube if y'all wanna check it out.

Both I and my brother have tried this. First and foremost, the intended experience is reading it in the disjointed and bizarre way the book is written and that's very hard to do in pdf. My pdf reader has a "reflow" function that pulls all the text into a reasonable book like format, it helps with the reading, but it doesn't do anything to help parse the actual content which is itself all ovee the place. If you're just looking for the story and not necessarily the puzzle of understanding the 5 meta-narrative pile, the implication of unreliable narators, and all the strange that it is, I'd suggest a nice long format YouTube video essay on it. That was personally my favorite because it sort of straightened all the lines.

the backrooms movie was not crappy at all

Learn about the movie.

I did, the movie is not mediocre

Explain to me the history of the movie and where it came from

kane parsons' web series

he has his own lore about the Complex, not the levels wiki stuff

and it was released on may 29th, after so much waiting

(kane actually teased the date in Static Dead End)

And where did he steal the idea from?

how do you steal an idea? thats called inspiration
Black August made the 4chan post so people could enjoy it and branch off different canons

according to you, everyone using the scientific method is a thief as it is someone else's idea? especially if they found a new branch of science with it?
