I read it in less then 24 hours, and I just looked up the movie. I was extremely disappointed to see the plot and characters were 100% different. Has anyone seen the movie?

yes, and it's bad. It's early Arnold, and it's cheese at it's finest. Don't do the book the injustice of watching it. Actually, on second thought, watch it - and appreciate how much more you love the written word than movies.


Blair Witch scared me as well.


I do like the movie The Running Man and love the story...two different reasons. Did anyone else kinda get reminded of The Running Man movie when they saw Tron? Maybe all those movies are similar.
***************SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!******************
The Blair Witch is pretty scary if you give yourself up to it, same with Paranormal Activity. I remember one day I went looking for my mom and found her in the basement, it looked like she was just staring at the wall, didn't respond when I called her name.Then turned around real quick and scared the crap outta me.

YES! Blair Witch is scary! Im only 15-and get scared by most horror movies, but still...the suspense is awful :S
But the scariest thing ive ever seen is the Australian movie 'Wolf Creek'
its suspenseful AND in your face.
Not even going to say anything else. Too scary for words.



I started The Fellowship of the Ring yesterday and I'm trying SO hard to finish The Bone Woman. I think I might finish it today.

Looking at possibly reading another King book shortly. I'm thinking of The Long Walk.
Dolores Claiborne =D. It's taking me a while though because i've been ill (still am). But it's very good so far.
I'm reading two books right now. Bush's Decision Points while at work when its slow and the play for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf in the evening. Bag of Bones will be my next evening book.

Oooh you're in for a treat. That one's got a great atmosphere.

I think I'm going to read Catching Fire next.
I need something lighter to read and by that I mean about 400 pages lighter.

I just buzzed through

I know I should have been cleaning and doing laundry and going to the post office today, but I just couldn't keep myself away from finishing it.

Me too. Imagine that.....

I like this one too when I downloaded it on audio, a great read!

I am saving this one for my holiday at the end of the month, I always read SK on holiday for some reason!

I didn't care for that one much, actually. I thought it had potential but fell short of what I had expected.
One that I really loved was Hold Me Closer, Necromancer - it was fun and witty, and different. I highly recommend it!

Well, cool with me.

I saw a trailer for the film of I Am Number Four last night at the cinema. Not sure I like the idea of yet another good book being ruined by the movie world!

I think that the book read just like a movie, so I think it would translate pretty well. :)
