Iltu, yes! It is really awesome. Better than the movie at any rate, pah. I was disappointed in it. It was all special effects and they hardly changed aaaaaanything from the book, which is just fail in my opinion. If I wanted to read the book, I'd have just read the book, you know? But the book is aaaaaaawesome.
And yes, I will.

Tireth, that's what I meant. Free Comic Book Day and excitement made me Mr. Confused. And I'm a foreigner don't hit me! Oww it was in March? I missed it!? ;____________; Will have to remember for next year.

Hehe my music did take up most of my laptop's space. Now I have a new hard drive which is big and shiny so it doesn't any more. Though if I start adding all my CDs and stuff on it, it will probably start taking up all my space again. *sigh* There is just too much good music in the world. And good books as well.

I bought iPod speakers, because I couldn't find headphones I wanted. Hurrah for properly loud music in my room!

Nu-uh, it's a universal thing! I went and got lots of free stuff yesterday. It's even in Iceland. I would like to go to the US one day though, it's so photogenic.
I do! Username same as here. I loves last.fm. <3

Did everyone disappear? :<

Weeell, I don't like when movies change huge things from the books, but the movie and the film are always different things and different visions. So going to the film and seeing pretty much exactly the same things that were in the books (like, I recognized the frames from the comic all the way through the movie), just in slightly different colour and, you know, with movement.. that's pretty disappointing. I do like it when they don't stray too far from the storyline, but I do want a different interpretation of it all the same, you know? I guess it's different with comics than uhm, non-illustrated books. Like, I love the V for Vendetta movie and I love the comic. They are quite different which makes them very seperate things, but the movie picks up the mood from the comic really well, and the main storyline is pretty much the same.

Hehe. I used to be a bit like that actually. But I do think there is a very fine art to it, doing a film after a book, and most film makers aren't quite there yet. I haven't read Forrest Gump but I think V For Vendetta was definitely very well done and also The Virgin Suicides. Oh, Stardust is another excellent example, in my opinion (though I didn't like the ending very much). I thought the Death Note movies (not the anime) were quite well done, though not quite as well done as the others I mention.
On the other hand, I really don't like the Harry Potter films - I'm a fan of the books though.

Urr, I'm getting restless. I really need to find something (relaxing) to do or I will get upset and never be able to fall asleep. >.<


Edit: Cherry, it is okay to double post if it's been a while since anyone else posted. In the old days, I would have deleted my post and included the contents of that post in a new post, but no Delete Our Own Posts anymore. :<

And yes, V the Comic is awesome. So well done. Not quite like the movie, but they're both really good in their own right. I'll shut up my fangasming now so as to not get your hopes up too high. I've already posted my views on Watchmen, so I won't repeat myself. P:

Cherry, they disencourage it, but you're not going to get a warning if it has been a while. Or at least, I haven't ever and I've been here a while. Just as long as you don't do it all the time and stuff?
It's hard to explain. I mean, visually it is quite different, what with colours and everything, and Evey is quite different, as well as some of the government/police characters. It's been a while since I read the book though, so I can't really say anymore and be sure I'm telling the truth. :Þ
I've been wanting to buy it for myself for a while, to read it again and just to have a copy because it is very much worth buying.

Tireth, of course some parts are bound to be not as photogenic but the US is huge. Which makes it hard to generalise. It always annoys me when people make generalisations about the US or its people, because with the size of the country, there are bound to be all sorts of people there and whatnot. So even if you happen to see more of one group than another (I'm mostly referring here to people who seem to think all Americans are stupid and ignorant), you have to keep in mind that there will be just as big a group, if not bigger, of the exact opposite.
Uhm yes, this was my rant on ignorant Europeans. My dad is a bit of one, or was one at any rate. :/
And yes, hah, I'm from Iceland but I'm currently studying in the Londontown. I guess I can't be bothered changing my location everywhere twice a year when I move back and forth. :Þ


Mmm, I'm listening to the audio version of The Golden Compass. Some of the cast are somewhat bad actors, but oh my, Philip Pullman's voice more than makes up for it. Some people are just blessed with perfectly amazing voices. (And they should read more books for the rest of us! I'm talking to you, Philip Pullman, David Bowie and Neil Gaiman!)

Ohhh, I want to see it too. Now though, I need to go to sleep. Need some proper sleep so that I can wake up tomorrow and write my essay. .___.

Night night!

Oh gosh, I just got a warning for my double post. That's never happened before. So I'll rectify what I said before, apparently it's only if a number of hours have passed. I wish we could delete at least our most recent posts, why did they change that again? :/

Tireth, oh yes, Gaiman has the perfect storytelling voice and Bowie actually has a wonderful storytelling voice as well - I have a record of him narrating Peter and the Wolf and he's fantastic. : D
Pullman has an awesomely dramatic voice, sort of low and husky. Heeee.

Sizzla, that makes sense, thanks. Though what about editing? I mean, you can always edit your posts, isn't that a risk as well? I also realised what has been confusing me. In the exchange forum rules (I'm not sure if it's in other forum rules as well), it says you can double post to kick your thread back to the first page, as long as the content of the post itself is not considered "spammy". Is that rule exclusive to the exchange forum? It's not very clear in the rules if it is. :s

Hello Kat! Haha, everyone on this page so far is using the grey font colour. How confusing. P:

Ahh, I see. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to clear that up for me, I'll be more careful in the future. :)


On a completely different note, I'm almost halfway through my essay. But no more material to write about. I think I'm going to need another controversial photographer to write about.. but who? :gonk:
