Adaptations

Hmmm where did I leave off??? I don't remember.
I guess I've watched some movies? Maybe? Yes.

Spirited Away
Sleeping Beauty
Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows


Today we will be discussing Movie #18, one of the greatest Shakespearian adaptations of the modern age, 

She's the Man

 



Genres: Amanda Bynes, Based off Book, Makeover Montage

This movie retells the enduring classic, Twelfth Night with a modern twist! Viola and Sebastian have a 100% crazy mother who seems to spend all her time at home obsessing about her daughter becoming a lady
 
Viola's girl's soccer team gets cut, so she decides that while her musical bro Sebastian is touring in London, she'll take his place at Illyria High School, posing as a young lad. Her roommate is the super hot Channing Tatum, who spends most of his time with his shirt off? Or maybe I just imagine that he does. Hard to say.
He is a hunky, classy dude in this film,

very classy

Oh, I don't know, I love this movie. It's one big awkward laugh-fest with some soccer thrown in.
Highlights:
It's so amazing and so ridiculous
It's one big ball of awkward
All the super wonky characters
 So many quotable moments. So many.
Horatio Gold, Headmaster





Lowlights:
Viola's hair in the final game HOW COULD SHE NOT FIND A HAIR TIE.
Ummm oh, I don't know. Sebastian himself was sort of lame



CHEW LIKE YOU HAVE A SECRET.

GOUDA



ENCOUNTERING A SPIDER


My little sister's favorite part of the film:





So, in conclusion, this movie is horrible and amazing and sort of tries to teach the youth of today that girls and boys are equal and that everyone has feelings.



Eunice. Eunice is a national treasure.



And finally,

There is something off about it. I mean, this movie is ok. Also, why is Amanda Bynes a genre? Mysterious. I sort of zoned out while watching this and read webcomics instead. Still, it's cute. anyway, onto tonight's main attraction (attractive man whaaaaat) SUPERMAN   Genres: Superhero, Action, Fangirl ...does the Fangirl genre count if I'm the only fangirl? yes.

Day Six

... Yes. It is Day 6. For a second, I thought that maybe it was actually Day 7 and I was an idiot, but no, we're good. Might still be an idiot, though. Well, Camp NaNoWriMo is going, if nothing else! I was amazingly (but unsurprisingly) unproductive on the 4th, wrote about 900 words yesterday, and am still getting up to my word-count-goal for today. Happy Caturday. Here's a cat. The Fool and the Rock In other news, I took a hike today at a state park and then drove to Bangor and learned some things! 1) Mainers really like cairns.  2) Maine is freaking beautiful??? 3) Maine is basically the exact same as the northwoods of Minnesota and Wisconsin except with the ocean, mini-mountains, an obsession with lobster and even weirder accents. 4)  Ever since working retail for a year and a half, I've become increasingly more awkward when I talk to sales associates at stores. Not sure why. Hahahaha 5) Yup, that's about it. Anyway, while I was sitting on the ...
