i don't know why i ever look forward to a book turned into a movie. it's never as good as i want it to be. take the lovely bones (which i watched tonight), watching the end of the movie is just not as satisfying as reading the end. i think the anticipation is better in a book... and usually my favorite parts are taken out. the ability to develop characters is something that movies aren't ever really able to accomplish. i understand that most people [even i] wouldn't want to watch a movie for three hours for the sake of character development, but it's so nice to have!
or take a book like twilight where the characters that i dreamt up in my head are not the ones that the actors portray... (or that they try to portray.) in some cases, the movie becomes a huge hit and everyone and their mom (in this case literally) becomes a fan and goes crazy over it... [like when i went to see new moon and people were literally squealing every time jacob was on screen.] but even though i know that the book is better, i always get excited when i see that some book i've read is being turned into a movie.
obviously my day was really exciting if the only thing that i could come up with to write about was a movie... but if you're reading this i will just go ahead and let you know that this is about as exciting as it gets in the summertime in lawrenceville. but stay tuned, maybe you [and i] will be surprised!
