City of Ember

I saw City of Ember today. TWAS EXCELLENT. like really, usually they positively ruin books when they make them into movies but this is a glaring exception. It was really good!

Things that matched with the book that I really loved or just perfect details:
-Lina and Doon were perfect! Lina wasn't too fashy, she looked just how I pictured her. Doon was different than I thought, but he worked really well. For a while i thought he looked too old, but you get used to it. sometimes he reminded me more of Zane, but it's probably because of the similarity in plot, they're both have the grim determination of trying to escape from a city where it is illegal to try to leave. and they both run around with their "girlfriends in the loosest sense of the world" trying to find a way out. Wow never realized the similarity till now.

- The city itself was really perfect. It had the perfect old quality and warm colors. The people and the clothes both had a really perfect feel.

-The whole apocalyptic feeling was definitely there. Like the movie took the doomsday feeling from the book and magnified it really well. One thing that would have been awesome is if when the power went out it was actually dark I know, totally bizarre. Well I get that it actually needs to be light so you can see what the characters are doing. But it would have been really cool to just have a moment of complete darkness. Plus the coolest part ever was when Doon saw the generator. It was probably about 10 times taller and worse than I pictured in the book, which was a cool surprise. Plus it was on fire!!! People were running all over and had fire hoses! soo cool! Like the movie took everything right from my mind but made it cooler! (And on fire!!)

But the weird part was that they added enormous rats with feelers instead of eyes. um. okay. gross.

So I could go on and on about all of the awesome stuff that they added that I was glad they did but I will refrain myself. Well I sort of did.

MEA yay but i have so much to do. it's not even funny. sigh.

In other news, I don't think my life sucks as much as it did in my last post. but that's not hard to do.

I want to draw something/somebody but i'm not sure who. I've pretty much worn out the characters from my stories. i'll just have to draw people from books I read. because of course i've never done that before. >_> You can probably expect another batch of people with wings! considering I'm listening to Falcondance. I just realized that I started the Keisha'ra series in the fall of 7th grade! And have read them every fall since then. I'm a creature of routine i guess o.O I'm starting to memorize parts of Falcondance by accident. I guess it's easier to memorize books when I hear them.
