I'm not sure what all the hype is about, but hubby and I decided to give it a try Saturday afternoon. It had been a while since we went to the movies. Paid our $12 admission, bought a soda and sat down. The best part about the movie was the seating -- nice big comfy chairs and the closest person in front of us was probably 3 feet away.

Anyhow, it is a very slooooow moving. The movie was just slightly above snoozing. It's a definite chick flick as it is centered around a young girl (and the boy who loves her). I've seen more blood from a paper cut. Woody Harrelson was pretty good, and the costumes were funky.

If you're not expecting a lot, this movie is for you! :yay:

Kids love the books. I was told they had to tone down the movie to get a PG-13 rating but the books are pretty intense.

the books suck majorly. The writing is horrible, I cannot believe someone decided to actually publish something that reads like a drunk 4th grader wrote it.

Only reason to go see the movie would be lenny kravitz :drool:

that was my other issue..the books aren't *actually* intense..there is violence..but it is in a very strange disspassionate way..intended to be shocking, I guess, but reads like you are reading off a shopping list..and somehow I do not think that was the auther's intended affect.

I haven’t read them yet. I have about 40 pages left in Desperation by Stephen King and then maybe I'll give them a try.

Because Lenny Kravitz is dead sexy. :lol:

I liked the books and the movie, but I can see how the movie wouldn't be that great for someone not familiar with everything that happened in the books. I'm not too pretentious to enjoy a good YA junk-food-for-your-brain book every now and then, and there's no shame in it. :cheers:

I'm on your side on this debate, Nickel. I think Lenny is God....or at least MY God. I love him, and I'm convinced that if he were to meet me, he would immediately fall in love with me and demand that I leave my husband so that we could run off together and live in Tahiti under a beautiful moon and we'd live a life sipping frozen drinks on the beach. Or something like that.

:hot:
