I went through the entire list going

"Loved that one"

or

"never heard of it"

and I will have to watch the ones I have never heard of before because you and I seem to have similar movie tastes!

I just saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, and I thought it was good, except it would have been better if they hadn't combined books 2,3, and 4 into one movie...

I have yet to see that, but I still haven't read books 2, 3, and 4 yet so I don't know whether I should go see it.

if you haven't read the books and you see the movie, then you will basically get the jist of things.

Yeah, I figured that would be the case, but I do like reading the books so that I can complain about how awful the movie was in comparison. I just have so many books to read right now, i can't decide what I want to read more.

Wait... A club for people who hate movies that ruin books, or a club of people who don't know what to read next?

Don't you just hate it when you read a book and the pictures of characters form in your head and then you watch the movie and you can't remember the wonderful characters you imagined anymore-just the actors faces?!

WanderingChild · Subject: Re: Favorite Movies Thu Sep 18, 2008 5:38 am

yeah! i know! but i guess its ok if the actor does a REALLY good job and he or she is exactly how you pictured them... like in the Golden Compass movie Nicole Kidman made a REALLY good Mrs. Coulter... exactly how i pictured her...plus she has an ability to play evil people... but that may just be my jealous opinion...Jealous b/c of Moulin Rouge... Ewan stealer! ...ahem, OK... but yeah it really is annoying! so when they make Pellinor into movies(not sure if they will) and they mess the people up... i may kill myself with a plastic knife (just kidding of course... it just came across to me as a dramatic death) 'specially if they mess up Cadvan...!!!

I totally agree about Mrs. Coulter. She was absolutely perfect. She had the scary beauty about her. I was amazed. But I totally know what you guys mean about losing your original image. For Harry Potter that happened, but it is weird. Only on scenes they did in the movie, but otherwise it is my original image.

A club for people who don't know what to read next, and have a super long list of books to read.

So, I watched Superbad last night.

It was super bad.

don't watch it.

it will be a waste of your time.

That sounds like a great club! Although right now, I'm trying not to read my new books. I sorta need to stick with Harry Potter so that I don't get too addicted. I have a big marking period exam on wednesday that is two essays, 20 multiple choice, and 20 matching questions in 2 hours. I am so nervous!
