Car thinks that I'm trying to steal it, so it turns off the fuel system. Nice.
well at least you didnt spend yesterday walking around stores setting off every alarm because the ***** sales person forgot to take the security tag off my coat, which I was wearing...
So all day I spent the day wearing a giant plastic tag on my coat, and setting of any theft alarms..

Spent a good minute wondering why she took a picture of her nipple.

I cannot completely express how ambivalent I am about staying true to the contents of a book when producing the movie adaptation. More often than not, little details, the specific sequence of events or major plot points, put a book's characters and their actions in perspective. It makes much less sense for a protagonist to have feelings of inadequacy after single-handedly saving the world than it does for him (not sexist, but I am not about to put him/her a thousand times) to feel jubilant and lighthearted--why push that unnatural angst on him? Or even worse, the littlest detail--admittedly, the one I have in mind did save a character, but it wasn't a particularly important plot point until death became imminent--becomes the central quest's focus. Honestly. Do you need to flip the book over, empty its guts, then stab, slice, and hack until you get a new, heavily butchered version?
On the other hand, sometimes the novelty of a movie adaptation keeps it fresh. It all depends on what movies represent to you--are they merely manifestations of the book in a visual format, or opportunities to explore what could've happened? Should they be book-to-movie productions with no liberties taken? I can't say for certain. I like it when there are differences, but not huge ones. Rarely does a movie mix it up a lot in such a way that the movie benefits in some marked way, but it does happen. Rarely being the key word.
Who am I kidding? I just wished movies were as good as their books. I think I'd tolerate the insertion of an undead unicorn with alcoholic and abusive tendencies if it made the Percy Jackson movies less ****. Two of what I assume to be five movies have been of the vomit-inducing variety. Bleh. At least Divergent is supposedly good. Time to watch Arizona finish its royal *** whooping of Gonzaga.
