Yet when I watched 'Easy A' I found him rather attractive. Cool yet disturbing that he can be so versatile.grumpyhttp://www.grumpyyounglady.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370001854804154118.post-72044463137923045002010-10-12T07:49:03.938-05:002010-10-12T07:49:03.938-05:00So, it sounds like I need to read the book and for...So, it sounds like I need to read the book and forget I saw the movie.

(They absolutely hated it-they're a squeamish bunch, and resented that the murderer wasn't punished) <br /><br />I didn't even know there was a movie; thank you. It's now in my netflix queue, because I also like Peter Jackson, notwithstanding the Rings trilogy(not a Tolkien fan,sorry) <br /><br />I used to feel the same way about books vis a vis movies made from books, Pueblo girl, but A Clockwork Orange taught me how to (I guess) let the movie stand on its own. . .Admittedly, there are movies that dishonor the books/stories they're made from (anything Disney, for instance) but that's different.Harry/Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13548927803421748707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370001854804154118.post-37296904393913579822010-10-11T14:11:00.957-05:002010-10-11T14:11:00.957-05:00I'm not keen on films of books I've liked ...I'm not keen on films of books I've liked (or worse, loved), so I won't be watching this one. Offhand, the only films I can think of that lived up to the books were Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, and the Harry Potter movies. I was once told severely on a movie course that I should never compare the film with the book, but rather let the movie stand on its own - bollocks!Pueblo girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904318623281033442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370001854804154118.post-65189847290134032372010-10-10T18:01:47.197-05:002010-10-10T18:01:47.197-05:00The book was pretty good.
