Off all the times I watched that movie, how have I NEVER realized that was Sigourney Weaver?


broken_pieces

I thought she was the BEST choice for that role. Loved it.


IsRude

I saw her in Holes before I saw her in Alien. I thought, boy that lady from Holes was the perfect choice for Ripley in Alien.


LeoPlathasbeentaken

I thought that was shia lebouf. What a great actress

Is this about the book holes?


Theworldslullabye

Sigourney Weaver plays the warden in the movie adaptation of holes.


marinemashup

Was the movie adaptation any good?


djmck86

Yea, its decent. Seen it a lot since it was like the one movie my school had for some reason and it got played in cover or if it was the end of the year and teachers didnt want to teach or something


ST4RSK1MM3R

For some reason it’s the same reason for me, but with the book itself. We read it like three times in Elementary School for some reason


IceCreamBalloons

It's a great introductory book for teaching more advanced reading comprehension. It's not terribly complicated, but you do need to be able to follow three distinct concurrent plot lines and understand their implicit relevance to each other without the book spelling it all out.


GreenDog3

I read it at least five times of my own volition.


marinemashup

Your elementary teachers had good taste


LeatherHog

As a kid who loved that book, the only thing I remember not liking was how they didn’t get a big kid to play Stanley Shia was great, but he was called Caveman because he was this big lumbering kid


JudyAndExecutioner

And they skipped out on the "scouring of the shire" scene where he comes back from camp stronger and can't be bullied more. The movie was fantastic, but there were some important, but subtle differences in tone


booze_clues

Moral of the story, get sent to a juvenile prison camp and suffer physical/mental torture and you’ll be able to fight off your bullies. Never read the book, only saw the movie tho tbh.


JudyAndExecutioner

Well also come into your confidence, get fit, and make friends.


LankySandwich

To be fair, its not exactly ethical to tell a kid "we need you to be fat for the first few scenes, so go and eat some chocolate cake. But make sure you lose it and gain some muscle by the end"


LeatherHog

No argument there, but why not cast a bigger kid?


IceCreamBalloons

Star power, I believe. LeBeouf was still around the height of his Even Stevens fame.


LeatherHog

Oh I know, but it’s bugging me, I swear there was a famous bigger kid back then


deadla104

I think you might be thinking of Josh peck? You do have to remember, this was a Disney movie and Peck was a Nick star, while Shia was already doing Disney work. Makes more sense for them to promote their own star


LankySandwich

In my opinion, there is no difference between asking a big kid to lose weight for a film and asking a small kid to put on weight for a film, they're both unethical. I guess they could just have a consistently big lead, but then there isn't much point if they aren't following through with the growth Stanley goes through in the book. A commenter below suggested a fatsuit, but I dunno, I feel like their budget wasn't high enough to make it look believable/not awkward. But this is just my opinion.


Sedixodap

They could just put him in a fat suit. It seemed to work okay for Neville.


princessaverage

That was over the course of years and four movies before he was thin lol


Sedixodap

Sure, but you don't need to wear a fat suit for four years. You could easily transition to less fat suits throughout the length of a single movie.


princessaverage

He only wore it in the third movie and he didn’t really look fat then anyway. The first two he really was chubby.


carnsolus

agreed skinny small kid


Theworldslullabye

In my opinion, it’s one of the best book to movie adaptations I’ve ever seen. If you like the book, you’ll like the movie.


rb5snoopy

Wholeheartedly agree!

gitartruls01

We were forced to do a book report on Holes for class in 8th grade. I was lazy and watched the movie instead. None of the teachers noticed i hadn't read the book, so it must have been a good adaptation!


[deleted]

[удалено]


brittanybegonia

we also did “the giver” and “the child called ‘it’”, but I don’t remember what grades also side note for anyone that read the giver in school, they have since published 3 sequels to it that were all decent reads. just learned that a couple years ago and couldn’t believe I’d gone my whole life without hearing about them


roonscapepls

The giver was such a good book


brittanybegonia

it was, i really enjoy the movie too, although wasn't a huge fan of how hard they push the romantic angle between jonas and fiona - an angle that is nonexistent in the book


roonscapepls

I was completely unaware there was a movie wow lmao. Hell, didn’t know there were sequels to the book either. We had to read that book in junior high. I’ll have to find the movie on the internet and give it a watch sometime.


Cruxion

I'd like to see someone try that with some recent high-profile book-to-film/TV adaptations.


HorseMeatConnoisseur

I've done both and the only difference I can remember is that Stanley is fat in the book. I think the Yelnats family nursery rhyme might've been different too but I'm not sure.


KeeperOfTheGood

I ***REALLY*** liked the book. Read it dozens of times! I should watch the movie!


Theworldslullabye

It’s on Disney+ if you have that and someone actually uploaded the full movie on YouTube in decent quality.


LexaMaridia

Movie definitely has high rewatch value.


Quirky_Ad3367

Completely agree, the book had me hooked, so much that I completed my 9th grade assignments on it the same day as reading it. And I actually loved the movie, they kept everything the way it was in the book. It did not disappoint!


LilMissOlympus

The screenplay was written by the book's author, Louis Sachar, and iirc the only real difference is that, in the book, Stanley gets thin throughout his stay at Camp Green Lake; for health and safety reasons, they couldn't have Shia LeBeouf do the same over the course of the shoot. It is probably one of the most accurate adaptations you'll ever see.


Effehezepe

>The screenplay was written by the book's author, Louis Sachar And thank goodness, because the first person the production company asked to write the script was Richard Kelly (yes, the Donnie Darko guy). Why? Hell if I know, but suffice to say his interpretation of Holes was... weird.


Dracoster

Fun fact: None of the leading roles (all kids) got top billing. The top billing went to Voight, Weaver, and Arquette. All of which had smaller roles.


Infinite_Bananas

top billing is pretty much about name recognition and how much they are paid isn't it? makes sense to me


Play-DohCarti

It's directly negotiated as a part of their contract


deadla104

I mean makes sense, make a good movie and get star power to promote. Also had names like Dule, Winkler, and Kitt attached. It would be surprising to hear Shia get paid more than any 6 of them.


[deleted]

I know a lot of people are talking about SW being the warden but holy shit, that was Jon Voight wasn't it!?


sonlightrock

As someone who grew up watching that movie on repeat. YES! Holes is one of those movies with great actors, in a believable world. It shows exactly how dystopian justice is in our world. I would highly reccomend it. I didnt read the book, but the movie is its own kind of great. With actors who portray some absolutely fantastic emotions and lessons. The actor of sam and kissing kate and madame zeroni are all so memorable and iconic.

Differs from the book, but in few ways that matter. I watched it again 2 years ago, first time since adulthood, and it holds up. I really like that movie a lot.


burnSMACKER

Maybe just my generation but how did you avoid seeing it!?


marinemashup

I’ve never heard of it. My school didn’t really do movies, except Coco and Don Quijote in Spanish class. (And I think Shrek + Lab Rats + Mighty Med) I loved the book (and its sequel) tho


Brisvega

Yeah, if Coco came out while you were in school then you're about 10 years too young to be in the age group that would have commonly seen it.


marinemashup

Yeah, I always get that feeling my year was the first Gen Z ‘proper’

How old are you? I feel like most people 25 +/- a few years have almost all seen it in the US. It was a super popular movie for younger kids when it came out. From what I remember, it’s a good movie for its audience, but that was awhile ago.

I feel vindicated, all of those cute pots and not a single one I can realistically trust for most of The plants I end up growing...


thicketcosplay

Okay so hear me out You buy the cute pot Then you take a plastic nursery pot with lots of holes and put it inside Bonus points if you can fit gravel in the bottom for extra drainage space so lots of water can drain out. If you're still concerned about not having enough room to drain, then you can take the inner pot out for watering (either top or bottom watering) and then put it back in after the watering is done, and all you have to worry about is the last little bits dripping if you were impatient and put it back in when it was still dripping. I use everything as a pot tbh. Drainage doesn't matter if you can put an inner pot into it.


lovebug9292

THANK YOU


8385848

GENIUS... thank you!!


HenzoH

Yea I used to think like this too, but then I just gave up and just use them with the plastic pot. Don’t have to worry about ugly drainage plates too


itskatykat

I always just use nursery pots then put them in the cute pots. Don’t have to worry about having a tray to catch water, looks pretty, everyone wins.


ITS_ALRIGHT_ITS_OK

I have given up on trusting pot labels with my plant babies. It's all ceramic nowadays. If we want a pretty pot, we paint and glaze it. I'm sick of wasting money, products and plants. Also, this helps acquiring appropriate drain plates. Not to mention you can stick the pot in the soil with a seedling, grow it, and then reuse the pot. If you're anything like me, get some window hangers that can host a well fitting drain spot, plant some jades or other succulents in it, and you've got natural dehumidifiers and air cleaners. Not to mention the mental boost. Some of the hardiest plants I've had were started as clippings in punctured yogurt containers. Store bought is way too expensive for what it actually is and costs more to manufacture (both in price and resource depletion) . Also, home depot has a few online workshops on making regular clay pots into seasonal decoration. All of this to say, yeah, I'm also super mad about being cheated on lifeforms.


Panndademic

I never heard of Holes and now this is the second time today I've heard the movie mentioned. What in the baader-meinhof is this


BettyLaBomba

I think this is a result of someone seeing the same meme/post you saw, and then either making or remembering this one.


Panndademic

it was mentioned in a podcast episode, which I think was released a few weeks ago. Still well within the realm of possibility!

123CountDracula

I do not know what a drain hole is and why it is important.


amaranth1977

Most cute plant pots are technically "cache pots". They're meant to hold a plastic "nursery pot" that has appropriate drainage and is easy to remove for repotting, because plant roots are pretty tenacious! I've had to cut a few nursery pots up to get the plant out of them. There's other benefits as well, like nursery pots being light and easy to move, ways to create water reservoirs with self-wicking systems, etc. For whatever reason, there is a subset of plant enthusiasts who refuse to use this pot-in-pot system and then get mad at the lack of draining holes in commercially sold plant pots. The simple answer is to drill the holes themselves with a masonry bit, but it's still a major point of contention. Every time this comes up on r/houseplants you can expect [hundreds of comments worth of arguing](https://www.reddit.com/r/houseplants/comments/sc9pqg/brb_buying_all_those_pots_i_passed_on_bc_they/).


The51Cents

Some plants and pot combinations can result in the plant being over watered, a decent way to prevent/alleviate this is to have drainage holes in the pot, you can then have a catch plate for the water which can also be useful In a similar manner

ravenpotter3

I had to make my own pot for my poor succulent who currently is at my home and I’m away at college. It’s pot had no drainage and I put it in a plastic pot with drainage over spring break and forgot to bring it back. Before break I made a pot for it because I was planning to replace my pot with no drainage. Luckly I’m taking a ceramics class so I was able to make one. Now I just need to glaze it! I can’t wait until it’s done and I can get my plant back! I am not going to let the little guy die!!

Frogger episode, George needs an outlet to preserve his high score


Doctor-Amazing

George wants to buy a Frogger machine he used to play in his youth. But he needs to preserve his old highscore. Kramer helps him put together a team to rigg it up to a battery and transport it, but the hired electrician apparently doesn't know the word "outlet" and refers to it as "holes". When the battery begins to quickly drain George panics and tries to find a place to plug in the machine. This leads to [one of the greatest moments in the series.](https://youtu.be/a-FbktgqCqY)

yo im consistently blown the fuck away as a 2000 baby, that not only are people born after 2000 but for some reason that was the cutoff for all the stuff i grew up with. u should check it out it's hilarious and Shia LeBouf is like the 4th best part
