Interesting that Willem Dafoe is in this: in Shadow of the Vampire he plays Max Schreck the actor from the original Nosferatu. Shadow of the Vampire is worth checking out. A great film that doesn't get talked about enough.

The Thing On The Doorstep
There was a (very) loose adaptation of The Thing on The Doorstep in 2023 - Suitable Flesh.
However it felt less like an adaptation of Lovecraft and more like an adaptation of Brian Yuzna/Stuart Gordon doing Lovecraft. Which isn't a bad thing - love Reanimator.

Reddit had something similar with 'multireddits'. It was basically just a way to group multiple subreddits together. You could either create a multireddit for your own use or you could share it for others to use also.
For posting you would still have to post to a particular subreddit. But for reading you could easily view all the posts for the group.
Right now, you can only view Lemmy as 'Local', "All' or "Subscribed'. It would be nice if I could have more control over that, and view for example 'all the movies and tv communities'.
I think this is especially true since right now it tends to be the case that the high traffic communities tend to drown out the smaller once. If I look at my Subscribed feed, it is dominated by a handful of communities (News, WorldNews, etc.) since they are getting the most posts and comments.
How about the one that launched a dialog box: "Do you have a small penis? Yes/No", and if you moved your mouse near the "No" button, the button would run away around the screen?
Man, good times.
