The movie even started but two mins in they shut it all down because they thought no one was in there.<br /><br />Later I saw the movie on DVD and realized I we had not missed anything.Invader_Stuhttp://www.invadingholland.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-60059581648371455492012-03-22T23:54:38.078-04:002012-03-22T23:54:38.078-04:00Or its own Romance section, to boot. :POr its own Romance section, to boot. :PThe Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09294653760778922184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-43008713385145191342012-03-22T20:39:40.822-04:002012-03-22T20:39:40.822-04:00I went to Barnes & Noble just yesterday, and n...I went to Barnes & Noble just yesterday, and no joke -- there was an entire section called just that!

I ADORED the books, and so yes, I was one of those picky people when the movies came out. ("HARRY'S EYES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GREEEEEEN!") But I ended up LOVING them all. I highly recommend getting yourself caught up. The 7th movie(s) were quite well done considering how crazy HUGE and involved the book was. That all being said, I totally relate to this post, and I love your stories. As always. :)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382915035547627233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-65974527552743524972012-03-22T10:49:07.953-04:002012-03-22T10:49:07.953-04:00I'm looking forward to this movie also.

First of all, I too find that having someone to discuss it with is half of the fun, therefore nature did indeed intend for us to watch films with a friend, and I'm very sorry to hear about your harry potter experience! And you put it so well about the characters one falls in love with in a book; I always get really sad if they're not how I imagined them to be, and I hate hate hate it if they change key things about them from the book to the film. With regard to the hunger games though, I think the casting is really good and I have high hopes for this film that it will do justice to the amazingness that is the book!<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />http://twentytwoandtalkingtrends.blogspot.com/Jessica Allen-Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246881771828480678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800436644379687416.post-61862030734666535632012-03-21T13:03:40.805-04:002012-03-21T13:03:40.805-04:00Awaiting the cinematic adaptation of a novel is bo...Awaiting the cinematic adaptation of a novel is both daunting and exciting! <br /><br />*I'm so excited/And I just can't hide it/I'm about to lose control and I think I like it/Ooh-wee!*<br /><br />Sorry.
