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,

wait...what happened to winter?

Not that I'm complaining that winter's almost over. If I had things my way (aka if I could control weather) winter would never extend past March 20th. Snowstorm last week, I'm looking at you. Obviously my goal to write more on this blog went really well. I am a devoted blogger. Uhhhh.... truth be told I'm only starting back up because Camp NaNoWriMo is coming close and I once again feel the need to procrastinate by blogging. I've been throwing around a few ideas for Camp NaNo this April... I've been trying to convince myself that it's time to sit down and write a delightful science fiction planetary romance (or a good ol' fashioned space opera), but so far I'm not dedicated to it. That is, I have no ideas for a planetary romance. Plus, ugh, what if it takes place on this world that has life forms? I know I'd get way too caught up banging out the evolutionary details and no one has time for that during Camp NaNoWriMo. (AKA I am making excuses ...

~Live Long and Prosper~

Heyooo so today I watched my favorite movie! But before we get to that, quick update on movies I've watched since my Superman adventure. #10: Superman II   (same genres as Superman) I was drunk when I rewatched this and fell asleep halfway through, but it still counts. #11: Stardust  Genres: Fantasy, Based off Book, Romance Ok, so I do actually love this movie-- and the book!-- and I considered making the fourth genre Fancy Hair, but decided that was ridiculous #12: The Sting  Genres: Bromance, Shenanigans, Happiness I adore The Sting. Introduced to me by my father, this movie is great. First time I watched it, I thought that the SPOILERPERSON actually SPOILERDIED so that was exciting Movie #13 Star Trek!!!!   Genres: Remake, Bromance, Friendship=Magic Soooooooooooo for whatever reason, this is my favorite movie of all time. I find that fact super perplexing; like.... why???? Why is this movie my favorite??? I hadn'...

Ten Days Left

Well, Camp NaNoWriMo is winding down. Ummm.... I wish that I had some informational nonsense to share today, but I don't. It's been wretched hot here all week, and I've learned that there's a big difference between summering in Tucson where it's wretched hot all the time but everywhere has a/c, and summering in coastal Maine, where when it's wretched hot, not nearly enough places have a/c. It finally cooled down last night, and should hopefully stay bearable temperatures for at least next week. Back to writing! The story is going well! I've been prolific this weekend, and I hope that I stay with this story past NaNoWriMo, as there's a lot more of it to write. Si is about to join a secret society (I don't even know hahaha) and Bixby has been captured and is on her way to escaping! Good luck with that, everyone. I realized that I just set up Bixby's story to have a love triangle, but I hate love triangles, and Bixby doesn't have time ...
