And you should, because I can almost guarantee you'll love it :)<br /><br />Lex-I think my problem is that I have trouble thinking of book and movie versions as separate entities. I just want it to be like the visual version of the book. Blah, reality stinks.<br /><br />Chanel-Ella Enchanted (the movie) was infinitely times worse than the book. The movie was a complete disappointment; just all wrong. Speak was an amazing book too. I haven't seen the movie, but considering Kristin Stewart's in it, maybe I made the right choice.Yanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998205461739736521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-79426276517267001822011-11-21T00:20:42.750-05:002011-11-21T00:20:42.750-05:00Books adapted to movies are always hit or miss.
I...Books adapted to movies are always hit or miss.<br /><br />I have never been so disgusted with anything more than I was with Ella Enchanted. Seriously, one of my favorite books of my childhood and they turned it into...I don't even know how to describe it. But it was a horrible mockery of the book.<br /><br />And then you get into Speak, which was a fabulous contemporary classic...and they cast Kristin Stewart as the main character! What part of dumpy teenager did they miss in the book? <br /><br />My only conclusion is that casting directors rarely bother reading the books.Chanelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159248995263246944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-39221807170144516702011-11-20T19:08:18.486-05:002011-11-20T19:08:18.486-05:00See. I LOVED the trailer. I don't know why. Ma...See. I LOVED the trailer. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I've just been anticipating it so much. But I think everything scene looks exactly like how I pictured it. The characters are a little different, granted, but it doesn't really matter to me because it is possible to separate the movie and book. Just think of them as two different entities.<br /><br />I have another theory as to why we disagree… The book is fresh in your mind so you remember even smallish details really well. You should watch it again in 2 months and tell me if you like it better hahahahahahaLexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292544033641967568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-70797623477903170962011-11-20T17:41:34.786-05:002011-11-20T17:41:34.786-05:00I've never read the Hunger Games, but I might ...I've never read the Hunger Games, but I might have to. I have also been hearing a lot of good things about the books/movies from my friends. The movie hasn't come out yet, has it? I'll want to read it first, just like you. I also agree that book-movie adaptions are often dissapointing.. Although there are some good ones out there (such as Harry Potter and I also thought the Lovely Bones was excellent).<br /><br /><3Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503273573068632398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885272557817480838.post-89935459862643289302011-11-20T15:13:13.849-05:002011-11-20T15:13:13.849-05:00Yes!
