BookMovies

I love, love, love when books get turned into movies. There's something exciting about seeing how these characters are brought to life.

Actually, I only like the thought of books being turned into movies.

I'm usually hugely disappointed by the movies. They leave things out, change things around, or just portray the characters in a way that is so far removed from what I had envisioned. [Beowulf was one of the worst. You can't change the ending of one of the first epics ever recorded! Terrible. Just terrible.]

I usually end up tearing those movies apart. It's the English nerd inside.

I let myself get excited, anyway.




Bring it on, Jane Eyre. One of my favorite books. I hope they do it justice -- unlike so, so many others.

I am 100% with you on this one.
(and I know this isn't the first time I've said something like this (or maybe this exactly) in response to your blog, and I love that about the BlogUses)

Can I add The Hunger Games to the list of movies to be hugely in anticipation for yet ready to be EquallyHugely disappointed by?
