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,

This is Not a Drill

FRIENDS I DID IT. I MADE A BOOK. Hold onto your pants folks, for coming in mid-April is As the King , a Young Adult Fantasy novel full of sword-fights, wicked uncles, and mistaken identities!   ( it has none of those things, don't listen to me) ~~~ (artwork by the amazing Marion !) This is Elisan, our intrepid heroine. She is unfashionably freckled but please don't hold it against her.  She was shipped off by her family to live with a foreign aunt and uncle at a young age with no explanation why. While traumatizing at the time, she's now decided was for the best, as she is quite content with her life. Elisan enjoys climbing trees, drinking tea, boxing, and dancing. She is not an accomplished artist, thinks she's a better actor than she really is, and  will  fight you if you insult one of her friends. She can currently be found boarding a train back to Verica, having just received a mysterious letter which claims she's th...

And We're Running!!!!!!

IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE

I mean, what's two years in the life of an indifferent blogger? Just a blink of the eye. So, kudos to me, it's not NaNoWriMo and I'm updating my blog!!!!! Anyway I thought I'd update the ol' Spete Blog with my newest publication announcement! Two (2) short stories! Both are older (3+ years old) works that I decided on a whim to publish ( read as: I was working on my novel and had fallen into a pit of despair because it's so long and I'm never going to finish the thing and I dismally remembered that I haven't published anything since Andrian Adventures like 10 years ago and what is even the point of keeping all my old stories to myself on my laptop if I'm just going to stare sadly at them day and isn't it much better to publish them and then stare sadly at the 0 Sales report instead ) .  They're fractured fairy tales of the silliest sort. Also, both take place in the kingdom of Atlis. I have done so much world building f...
