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,

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'...

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 ...

WINNAAAA

Well, despite all my worries, I've managed to glop my novel together into something essentially cohesive and at 50,015 words, it is gloriously and happily finished! Now I have all kinds of ideas for putting it as the middle book in a trilogy... but I need to take some deep breaths and sit back and plan for a while before I dive back into a new project. As The Wish and the Wolf (as I decided to randomly name it) proved, falling into a novel with no idea of where I'm going isn't exactly a good idea. So, I gained some experience, and now have the longest novel I've ever written under my writing belt. (Although Andrian Adventures is so close and growing!) Andrian Adventures, of course, does not count as a new project, since it's basically been ongoing for the past three years :) While NaNoWriMoing (while avoiding writing) I thought up some fun ideas for AA, and those will have to find their ways into the story. Good news! The cover is almost complete, and soon An...
