Indeed.

Kinda NSFW.

It's also mentioned in this fantastic book. It's really pricey, but so worth it if you want a look into how the films were made but can't afford to go to Leavesden.

Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender, and Sexuality in Nature and People https://www.amazon.com/dp/0520240731/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hsJODb3HY1A51

Yes, but with a caveat. Humans are complex creatures. There has been research done in fruit flies where sequences of genes can be switched on and off and cause a preference for one sex or the other.

There is actually a very well researched book called "Evolutions Rainbow" that discusses your question in far greater depth than I could discuss here.

And if you're wondering why those genes don't get selected out (well if gay people don't have kids why are people still gay), it's because the areas that control sexuality aren't one simple on/off toggle switch in humans. So essentially, gay people are created by straight people who pass on the genetic traits for homosexual individuals.

It's also worth pointing out that in addition to sexuality not being a simple toggle switch, the preference for men/women is also fluid. You can look at the Kinsey scale which gives examples of this.

There are people that will identify as entirely straight, entirely gay, people who identify as equally attracted to both sexes, and people who are straight but may be open to encounters with the same sex even if they don't have a strong preference for it.

They look like they've been scanned out a magazine or book to me.

Edit: This looks like the book they were scanned from.

I hope you're being accidently ignorant. Have a read of Harry Potter: Page to Screen; the amount of work and artistry that went into those films is unbelievable.

For some reason there are a bunch of HTML versions of the script floating around, not sure if there are any PDF's. I think it was retyped from the out of print paperback.

Looks like there are a couple of versions of Goodfellas here.

>Also would appreciate any suggestions for coming of age movies with V.O.

Unfortunately nothing can be published that doesn't go through JKR. She owns the rights to everything basically. Also I guess the idea is that if you want to know about the sets you have to visit the tour in order to "buy" that knowledge.

Pretty much all of the general info is available by watching the special features on the films, going on Pottermore, and also there are a couple of good books which most Interactors work from, like From Page To Screen.

All the gossip and funny little stories come from original crew members though, by word of mouth, and that's the only stuff that isn't really published, along with the tiny details about props and costumes etc, so for that you'd have to visit the tour.

I'm not sure about videos, but Harry Potter Page to Screen: The Complete Filmmaking Journey is the most definitive source for behind-the-scenes information about the making of the series. I'd certainly recommend that book over online clips if you're actually interested in learning more about the filmmaking process.

I still have this book from my childhood. $70 is an insane price for it though - I'm sure you can find a PDF somewhere for much, much cheaper.

There's a wonderful book called Evolution's Rainbow by Joan Roughgarden that is entirely about the different genders found in nature. There are several species that have more than one gender like sun fish. (source: that book)

Yes, we know from all the Hachette threads exactly how much Reddit drinks the Amazon Kool-Aid. So let's talk about "Amazon" (which in student world is an all-inclusive term that includes actual Amazon and all the sellers on the marketplace).

Amazon as a replacement for the college bookstore.

Here's book with a new retail $168.00 Amazon is offering no discount on this one, their price is the same. In the Marketplace, though, you can get used copies starting at $20. Click down to page 16 (ten per page viewed) and you get over $180, and by the bottom of the page you have people trying to get $500 for it. This is one of the best selling marketing texts in the country, and 160 copies is one good-sized class at a big state university.

Here's one that should be about $35. It's out of print and getting harder to find. 2 sellers below the original $35 price, 2 gouging at $120+.

Books aren't books on Amazon, they're a commodity. You can find some great deals, you can get your ass thoroughly screwed. But if your college bookstore looked at every hard-to-find title as an opportunity to raise prices 4 or 5 times what they should be, you'd actually have something to complain about.

Kevin Murphy (the voice of Tom Servo) already did this. In fact, he wrote a book about it. Check it out here
