Oh my gosh, another one of my fave book series is turning into a movie! I really love it how all the popular book series are being turned into movies…it makes me feel very nostalagic/happy.

Although I read this series, like, four years ago, and a lot of things look pretty childish, I can’t wait until it comes out so I can see it! (or at least see it when the DVD comes out…it all depends on whether or not I’ll have time this month >.>)

My thoughts on the trailer:

1. Hmmm I imaged Mr. Crepsley as being…more handsome. LOL. He’s, like,, my fave character in the series, which is funny because I more or less disliked him in the first book. But I guess he has charisma, and I know that that actor is very good/talented. So we’ll see how he pulls through.

2. I like the actor that plays the best friend of Darren. I know he’s good b/c his performance in “Bridge to Terabithia” was phenomenal. I hope the movies (hopefully there is going to be more than one movie >.>) follow the books so that he will have a bigger part than he does in the first.

3. Gah. Again with the three book in one movie thing. This sort of kind of didn’t work for “A Series of Unfortunate Events”, but I hope it does for Cirque du Freak.  Although the fact that they decided to go with this method sort of annoys me, I understand that  making/having people watch 12 different movies is just plain IMPOSSIBLE.

4. The graphics for the circus scenes sort of bothers me. IDK. Maybe it’s because I see too many movies with good visual effects. Or maybe my imagination’s capacity to visualize things surpasses any computer’s ability to create. But in any case, I’m hoping the v. effects will be better on the actual movie than the trailer.

And yes. I know. I should be doing my homework now. I will. I just took a little detour from printing out the current event and the reading for Humanities.

(A bit of situation irony: We’re learning about the Leviathan. Scott Westerfeld’s newest book is called “The Leviathan”. HAH this made me smile while reading the Hobbes section of yesterday’s reading.)
