Queen of the Damned was definitely one of the worst book to movies conversion. That movie was horrible but I did love that Aaliyah played Akasha. She did good, other than that. Horrible!

Never read Queen, so I wasn't quite missing much from the movie in that one. And like you Shari, enjoyed the Akasha parts.And yes, I was just mentioning last night how bad I found Twilight part 2. I have never seen decapitation done so poorly. And I never want to see a CGI or aged progressed computer generated child like that AGAIN! O_O
Pretty much all the Three Musketeers movies that have seen have NEVER done the book justice. That book is classic and awesomely action packed. It seems like it would be such a good movie but for some reason they just can't pull it off. I'm not sure if it is the worst but it is definitely the most disappointing IMO.I agree with ya'll about the Twilight having a bad book to screen transition. Oh and I have read Queen of the Damned and the movie was a damn shame compared to the book plus they skipped my favorite book in that series when they went strait to Queen. Which irked me a little bit.
Have you seen The Man in the Iron Mask Jessica? It wasn't predominantly about the 3 musketeers or how I took it. But they played a role in things and it was a really good portrayal to me. Even Dicaprio playing the good and bad twins of the time in that story. One of my faves. Not sure if it was ever a book though.
Yeah. The Man in the Iron Mask was good. But it is it's own book. So to me that doesn't really count. I like both that book and the movie. It's just The Three Musketeers that they seem to struggle with.
Ahh, well maybe if the peeps that worked on that movie ever get into the mindset of working on the Musketeers as an individual movie. Then it might amount to something.
I was not too thrilled with the book to movie version of the Host by Stephanie Meyers. The description of how a light had to be held under the host bodies eyes was not kept in the movie version. In the movie, a completely noticeable ring was visible in the eyes of the Host body. That took so much away from the mystery of telling the difference between a human and the host body. The purpose of the movie was to have a struggle of survival of human and them not being able to immediately tell who was a Host versus human. The obvious "ring" took away the need of a light being placed under the eye all to gether!So much detail of the book was left out about the life in the caves between Wandra and the community that lived there too. And the cliff hanger is still killing me about whether or not there will be a sequel.
New Question: Are you looking forward to the Super Bowl!? For those that dont watch American Football, is there another major sport event you enjoy!?
I have never been someone for sports. I don't really understand the appeal. That being said. I do like watching sports with people who do care about them. Mostly because I like watching them get all worked up about the game.
As do I. I love seeing people get amped up for these type of big sporting events. Watching them getting hyped, gets me hyped. And of course the food, I do it for the food when they have parties or get togethers :-)
I am a huge football fan, but unless my team is in the Super Bowl, I usually don't get that hyped up about the game. But this year, could have some potential as there are some good teams that could prossibly make it more interesting. But for the non fans it's a good time going to parties. It's all about the commericals anyway. :)
i'm not actually a fan of football lol so i never watch it. if others are watching then i'll watch but thats about it.
Soooo not a sport fan other than the occasional figure skating, soccer, or maybe even some opening/closing stuff at the Olympics. Beyond that, I'm with Shari, those freaking tail gating parties I've heard about sound awesome. So I would for sure be in for stuffing my face.
LMAO we can go for the food then guys! :I
I'm down! All about the food and guys.
Ribs and Tight Ends, woot!
New Question- Which, if any award shows have you caught so far this month? And have any of your favorite celebs won?
i only saw a tiny bit of the red carpet
I love watching award shows but since we have gotten rid of regular tv I haven't been able to watch any of them. I usually just catch the highlights on the internet after it has aired.
Haven't caught any award shows in ages. Well since the one where Adam Lambert kissed somebody. Although I was tempted to see the critic's choice awards. But still missed em to see Arrow on the ol' dvr.New Question-What is the best thing you love about your siblings/relatives?
I love that my sisters and aunt are all so damn full of life. They let nothing and no one hold them back from what they want in life. I know it'll never be a dull moment around them
LOL that i don't have to talk to them that many times a year -dies-
I will second that on extended family sis. I would have to say that the best thing for mine is for some they live too far away to visit that often, others too busy with work to visit and other dramas, and in most cases they ask me for money less times than they do my folks, lol.
I wish I could live alone in my own flat. I love my family but they're so annoying. I need to study and I can't 'cause they are shouting still, I have a room with 3 doors so everybody is still passing by and I can't focus. Btw they are nosy so you know.
New Question:Other than movies, what form of mass media would you like to see some of your favorite books to take? I.e. magazines, video games, maybe even through art.

Can you imagine the DH series in video game form? I might get into trouble, I'd steal all of the characters I liked...lol And Vane would be at the top of my list of AWOL players!!!
I don't play video games, but If there was a DH game, I would be playing it *.*
I'd love to see Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal as a broadway show. It would be so funny seeing it all played out.

Great answers ladies. Though I loves me video games. I would totally love to see the DH world as a ballet or as a Cirque de Soleli sorta show too. Would be vastly creative.

Hehe could really see who has the biggest weapon in tights? ;P
Dhfan4life wrote: "Hehe could really see who has the biggest weapon in tights? ;P"LOL...Now that might be a ballet to make sure NOT to miss!
I wonder what Acheron would look like with his "tickle his pickle" in tights...lol
See can make a ballet appreciator out of anybody that way. :D

I would watch a play with the DH in tights! Not sure I'd follow along with the play...lol Might be distracted a bit, by yummy DH man flesh!!!
Oh I didn't say I would know what was going on either save for being magnetized to the fun aspects of course.
New Question: What is something you have accomplished so far in January 2014?
I've walked on ice and haven't killed myself while doing it yet...lol I live in New Orleans where we don't have snow much less ice!
Hmmm, does this count??
Me too, Bozena. I'm passing my course, thus far.
Congrats on passing your exam!
there are 5 left:( no time for sleeping, sleep is for the weak :D
That's great Bo and for sure same to you Nette. I was never quite that great on some exams. So mad props for you guys knocking yours out.Haha from what I hear of Louisiana you guys are part of the lucky south on the snow and ice front. Don't get me wrong, I love both to make things festive during the winter. But yea, cracking knee caps or butts is just not good.

LOL... I've just realized this was posted here! For some reason I'm not getting all of my updates forwarded to me.
Anywho, Louisiana is NOT loving the snow or cold weather...lol Just a little ice on the bridges has cause multi-car pile ups! Louisianians do not know how to drive on ice...lol
The schools and city government have shut down for the last couple of days, too.

Wow. That almost sounds like down in Georgia I think it was. Where they had the multi car situation too. And I think two of the schools closed with the kids staying over night for 2 nights in there. As the whole town more or less was totally unprepared for winter knocking at their door. Craziness for sure.

Anyone think that the Super Bowl would have been more interesting if we had Dark Hunter playing on the field? I'd sure be a spectator...lol No commercial breaks needed!
lol and here is sunny and warm, I could go sunbathing. This time it should be -15 and snowing but in the east part of my country they have 2 metres of snow
