I'm not sure if I've told you all, but Inkheart is my favorite novel. I've read it almost 19 times and was aware of the trailer's release about five minutes after it happened. Now I know that I danced around on the last post, but I can't help but to do it again. So here it is. The splendiferous trailer teaser to the movie of Inkheart, coming March 19th. It is with great excitement that I viewed this as, although I am not much of a television/movie person, I observed Paul Bettany as Dustfinger. What a brilliant choice! And is that a certain horned marten we observe on his shoulder? But. After seeing the trailer and comparing (if even mortally possible) to the novel, I'd like to know what you have to say. Could it have been casted better or done with a better director? Can you already pick up on book-to-movie faux pas? I know I did *turns and sobs*. Oh, well. We've never known Hollywood to get everything right. A happy holiday season from me and (grudgingly) Medeia.
With laughter, comment hopes, and holiday cheer,

Outline of the Grandness
Aella Siofra
Born in a whirlwind, I found myself dumped, stormless, upon a deserted island. I surrendered to a hopeless docility on the sands for days, eating coconuts to maintain my strength. I had just begun to feel the effects of my imprisonment when I sat up and saw a lonely novel, a fellow castaway, on the shore. Leaping to my feet I discovered that it was no hallucination. Using raft patterns found within the pages, I set sail, discovering a second island cloaked in night on my venture. There I discovered a secret tribe of dark ones separated from society and all writ material. After hearing tales of all wondrous things that demand reading, one brave member would escape with me as the ever grounded Medeia.

oh yeah, they were gonna make a movie out of that, weren't they. apparently it's actually happening.
what was the consistency faux-pas?
is it definitly wrong, or a situation like my stubborn, close-minded and often annoying friend who freaked out over the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (which i reasonably pointed out was never very consistent to begin with) because Zaphod didn't have two heads in the preview, but in the course of the actual movie, he really did?
as long as it's a better adaptation than Eragon, you can thank your lucky stars.
Inkheart was a good book, but Meggie's taste in books bothered me. it just wasn't very...modern. and it seemed very young. like, as a 13 year old, she was still reading picture books and stuff. when i was 13, i was already over Harry Potter and Spiderwick and diving into Tithe, Neverwhere and Scott Westerfeld. i can understand Funke not wanting to do any copyright infringing, but she could have just sort of been general about more modern literature. the most recent thing i remember being mentioned is Lord of the Rings. just bothered me how all she only read like, Peter Pan and picture books and stuff like that. annoyed me as not fitting with her living for books persona.
sorry, i didn't come here to book-bash or anything. i really did like Inkheart and Inkspell.
(what's up with Inkdeath, btw? i'd heard whispers of april, but it sort of disappeared. do u know?)
comment hope fulfilled.
happy holiday season to you too
(oh why am i on the computer on christmas. because i am a loser)
wow, that was longer than i thought.
The rumors are that Inkdeath is set for next October to release. 2-0-0-8. I weep with the reminder. All the same, Tintentueg (or something like that), which is the German version, already came out in Germany. So all I have to do is learn German and be satisfied.
ah, that is distressingly far away.
i have the same problem with Kai Meyer books (i may have raved about them in an old post about your name over on Maelstrom). the entire trilogy is already written and published...IN GERMAN. so they sit there, teasing me on amazon while i continue not speaking german and having to wait a year between books.
BUT THE GLASS WORD COMES OUT IN FOUR DAYS!!!!! WOOO!!!! THE DARK REFLECTIONS TRILOGY IS COMING TO AN END!!!! AND IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!
I WRITE IN CAPITALS WITH YOU! I, as well, have been valiantly awaiting the release of the Glass Word. I am expecting great awesomeness and perhaps some depressedness on my part at this *sniff* finale.
yes, i have heard that the ending is fairly outrageous. from those evil German people who read it like years ago.
must remember to go pursuade mom to order that from amazon...because Borders is lame and not-carryish.
i really don't like the new covers. like, the original US cover of the Water Mirror was so awesome, it was the whole reason i read the book, but these new ones are so...colorful and digital.
and yeah for other people who've actually read Kai Meyer!!!!!!!! like, no one has heard of him sadly. or at least no one here.
u read Wave Walkers?
Haven't read Wave Walkers yet, to my great distress. But as it appears you are suggesting it strongly I shall make haste to absorb it.
BOOK MOVIES ARE RIDICULOUS AND CAUSE ME TO GO ON CAPITAL-FILLED, LONG-WINDED RANTS!... and I have one on my blog right now (though it has been shortened considerably for your sanity)... check it out
yes, i definitly reccomend the Wave Walkers books. they weren't as dark or quite as awesome as the Dark Reflections, but they were fun and piratical and worth it, though incredibly infuriating with the wait. final one comes out in May, will probably be more satisfying to read them all at once. it's Pirate Curse, Pirate Emporer, Pirate War, btw.
and medeia, after reading both this and the other rant, i have only one question---what did you just watch????
Oh, Amie... that is not exactly a rant... it is like a bite sized tidbit of what one of my rants is really like...
speaking as someone who sends multi-page Heroes emails at 10:00 every monday night, that was in fact a rather short rant. perhaps not even a rant. a mini-rant, perhaps. the munchkin of rantiness.
*Admiring tone* You watch Heroes too?!...
So... do you think Nikki is really dead?...
i am, as stated above, a Heroes freak.
my friends have long arguments over Isaac or Peter. Isaac, obviously, because he's hotter.
and god i hope so!!!!
i HATE nicki.
No, Peter is so much better than Isaac... I have argued this with my friends (but none of them even acknowledge Isaac's existence...seeing as he's dead...haha Peter can never die...)
no, Peter was just butchered by bad plot handling.
BURN!
no seriously. AMNESIA?
Isaac is just better. i don't care that he's dead. and there's always Mohinder. he wears a THUMB RING.
see me and my friends go like this. me = team Issac-Mohinder. them = team Peter-Sylar.
they all just give me wierd, i-don't-spend-enough-time-on-the-internet-look when i suggest slash shipping Mohinder and Parkman. it would be so hilarious.....
i mean, they were raising a kid together.
Sylar?... he is sooo creepy...like if I met him on the street somewhere I might be tempted to run away, but more likely whip out a Doomspork (if Aislinn would let me borrow one)...
that's what i say, but my friend, she is wierd like that....
doomsporks to the rescue!
