Sweeney Todd is not some R-rated horror flick; it’s a complex, thought-provoking musical/opera (I forget what it’s officially classified as) that unfortunately happens to have a lot of blood.

He says he wants to stay true to the book’s essence…
But yeah, ditto, I hope Wonderland doesn’t turn out too creepy and adult. It’s supposed to be a kids’ story…
Yes. Perhaps we should.
We could at least out it in our signatures, or something.
(Except I don’t think anyone here likes abridged books to begin with…ah well.)
Are there any TTS movies worth watching? I expect there are about half a million adaptions but I haven’t seen any of them.
Hrm…drunk guy, bloated corpse…sounds like an interesting bit of fanfiction.
*raises eyebrow*Which reminds me that I still need to read Huckleberry Finn…
Well, we could always start another topic for melancholy books (indeed, melancholy sounds so much nicer than just ‘sad,’ doesn’t it?) and thus help rid the world of topics that are irrelevant to their titles.
…Or something like that.
Yes, I know what you mean about crying over the beauty of something.
I love the ‘Careful, or you’ll end up in my novel’ thingummy…I want one.
I have a shirt that says “There’s no such thing as too many books” but that’s about all…
The library and the bookstore sell nice cloth bags with names of authors all over them, but in some attempt at patriotism they’re all Canadian people who I’ve never heard of before. Sigh.
Or we could change the topic into a READ EMBER! campaign.
*waves a banner enthusiastically*
Sad and dreary books? I can’t think of any…Dreary is bad, but sad is good.
(Sometimes.)
The Door Within might be interesting… I’m definitely NOT puristic about those books and would be looking forward to seeing how they were changed, sad to say.
A Redwall movie, wow. Wonder how that will turn out? I’d be quite happy if they scrapped the animals and just made all the characters human. *ducks flying objects*
I think my siblings watched the Redwall cartoons and liked them. I should get them out of the library sometime.
*still looking forward to Alice in Wonderland*
Rabbit Hill! I haven’t read that since I was Young and Forgetful. I always thought of it as a sort of kids’ version of Watership Down…ought to reread.
Christy was alright–my favourite part about it was that poem about the wind that was used throughout the book.
Currently reading and muchly enjoying: The House of the Scorpion
Westley?
I liked him quite a lot while he was the D.P.R/Man in the Mask/whatever–as himself he was not quite as interesting.
Inigo Montoya is awesome.
House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (anyone read that?) would make a good movie…or maybe it’s just that with some books, one can see them played out so clearly in one’s head.
