movies from books always end badly

now that i blogged about the olsen twins, whom i don't even like, i might add--i feel that it is my duty to share with the world (i.e. the 2-3 people out there who happen to read this occasionally) my thoughts on audrey niffenegger's latest novel her fearful symmetry in the event that this book also be made into a movie. p.s. the time traveler's wife was a phenomenal book and piss poor film.



i make the link between the o-twins and niffenegger's latest because it is essentially a tale of twins. the description of the youngest twins at one point in the novel compares them to spindly dandelions with white puffs for heads/hair, which while reading made me think of mary-kate and ashley. i would love for one day to be a casting agent in hollywood. they need someone who actually READS the novels to pick the actors that play these people. i hate reading about a very well described character only to find that if the book becomes a movie, the actor looks nothing like i would have imagined them to be. this is why i now forgo films about books i've read and don't waste my time on the books that most films are made after (i.e. anything by nicholas sparks or the twilight series for example). i've come to conclude since i have completed school that my time is precious and cannot be wasted on such shenanigans as bad books and films. this my dears, is why i waste my time blogging and facebooking instead. ;) furthermore, i have craft projects to complete this week as i am on vacation from my job (yes, i finally snagged a little job here, too...champagne all around!). now that i have said my piece on the casting of the tiny skeletons should this book ever hit the silver-screen, i am off to dismantle a shoe cabinet and refurb an old dresser. toodles!
