I hope you enjoy it! I was going to go to one, but I have work the next day, boo. Going Fri night instead.<br /><br />OMG Baz is directing the new Gatsby?! That's 2 surprises for me. I sort of love Baz Luhrmann, but probably because I <i>love</i> Moulin Rouge. Romeo + Juliet was pretty weird, but I kind of like the artistic direction he took with it.Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-196416083886609952010-11-17T16:13:08.764-08:002010-11-17T16:13:08.764-08:00I've only read Lion, The Witch, and the Wardro...I've only read Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrope, but I definitely want to see this Narnia movie. <br /><br />I didn't know there's talk of making Shiver into a movie.

Hive mind. ;) To me, Gatsby's not an adaptable book in the same way A Prayer for Owen Meany as a movie was lame (Simon Birch was the sort-of adaptation). I hope Hunger Games and Shiver don't get wrecked on screen!Lori W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15513938828806159874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-68189104914964965862010-11-17T12:00:15.779-08:002010-11-17T12:00:15.779-08:00I can't wait to see it either.

Probably I'll pick a matinee first day of release but not the midnight show.

I mean, I know Disney axed it for financial reasons, but thank goodness someone else picked it up. The trailer is great. :D<br /><br />Actually I really enjoyed Romeo + Juliet... And I think Leo and Carey will be good. (Just saw Carey in An Education and she was excellent.)

Too bad Percy Jackson was a flop but it was about impossible to capture his voice - same with Twilight. So much of what makes Twilight are her thoughts and that doesn't transcribe to a movie.Laura Paulinghttp://www.laurapauling.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011133488035315179.post-16532259305231479652010-11-17T06:38:47.624-08:002010-11-17T06:38:47.624-08:00My fam hopefully will see Harry Potter next week! ...My fam hopefully will see Harry Potter next week!
