Yeah, I know it's been an ongoing theme lately, but people really annoy me. I went to and early movie tonight. Wanted to see the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (yes, I'm really a 12 year old girl). Oy vey.
First, there was this 300 pound woman and her preteen daughter sitting next to me. The daughter, not so bad with the exception of her constant sniffle. Blow your nose, bitch. I felt kinda bad for her because I could tell her mother really embarassed her. And rightfully so. First the mother disappeared for the first 10 minutes then came back at the part when they were discussing the rules of the pants and starts talking...not whispering...talking in a full loud voice, in Spanish. Rude rude rude! And yeah, that's right, I shushed her! *I* the typical loud obnoxious bitch actually shushed someone. And the lady sitting in front of me (who, coincidentally I had overheard teaching her little girl how to properly behave during movies before it began, going over a list of rules...no talking being the first) turned around and gave me a look like she wanted to give me a high five.
Anyway...the movie...what a fucking disappointment! I should preface this by saying that I read the book. They totally bastardized it to the point where it really wasn't the same story...character motivations changed, etc. Some of my favorite things about the book were completely wiped and redone (like the part where Baily tells Tibby to keep playing...instead she tells her to finish her movie...lame lame lame). Lena's story was unrecognizable. Awful! And there was no guinea pig!
Ok...it wasn't as bad as the book to movie version of Less Than Zero, where the only thing the movie character's have in common with the book characters are their names. And it was a different kind of disappontment than Fear and Loathing where you realize that the only part that was cut was the best part (you know...that chapter where they are going to the fast food places asking where they can find the American Dream). But it was bad. So if you read the book, I would suggest staying away.
And yeah, I still cried at the sad parts. And I have a new found respect for Amber Tamblyn (although I still can't get the image of her screaming "Stop! Thief!" out of my head). I really like her hair...even the blue streaks.
But the movie still sucked. The end.
