A compilation of quotes <3
Well I just adore quotes, so here is a post dedicated to a few of my favourite movie quotes!
The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you're afraid and you don't know what you're afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling? - Breakfast At Tiffany's
You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself. - Breakfast At Tiffany's
See, when you're mad, you don't miss people. So, if you stay mad, it's like you never knew them at all. That way you don't feel sucky about them leaving you. - Uptown Girls
Sam, I can go at least another nine rounds, but you got to let me in. - I Am Sam
Summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. They're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone. - The Notebook

OMFG! NEW GG BOOK!
YES! That's right, I just found it on amazon.com there is another Gossip Girl book, with the original cast coming out! November 2009!! I'm SOOO excited!! It's gonna be amazing.. what's going to happen with the Serena/Nate/Blair triangle! I hope Nate ends up with Serena in the end. I always liked Serena SO much more than Blair in the books! Woo I'm soooooo excited! There was an ad for it in the back of some Zoey Dean book! YAY!
My Sister's Keeper
When I had first heard that one of my all time favourite books was being turned into a movie my first thought was "YES!!" then came the wondering of who was going to be casted as Sara, Anna, Kate, Jesse, Brian, Julia and Campbell... at first it was Dakota and Elle Fanning who were chosen to play the roles of Anna and Kate. Unfortunately they dropped out after Dakota didn't want to shave her head of the role. Next came Sofia Vassilieva and Abigail Breslin, along with Cameron Diaz, Jason Patric and Alec Baldwin. That would be the final cast.
At first I was a little iffy about Cameron Diaz, would she be able to pull of the emotionally distraught mother of three, with a daughter who has been batteling cancer almost her entire life? Well I'll tell you one thing, SHE PULLED IT OFF!
I went to see My Sister's Keeper on the day of it's release. I loved the book to death and I was very excited to see how they adapted it into a movie. I was nervous about the casting because I felt as though they were all wrong for the roles, except for Alec Baldwin who fit Campbell Alexander to a tee.
So the movie started, and of course I already had tears in my eyes, my eyes did not cease to produce tears for the entire duration of the movie. It was terribly sad, I don't think that there was a dry eye in the theater, people were sobbing and weeping. It was not a feel good movie at all! The acting was great, but there was something about it that it didn't seem as amazing as I was hoping. They didn't develop the characters nearly enough, in the book you felt for Anna because you felt as though her parents really had had her simply to be a donor for her sister. In the film they didn't show Anna's feelings at all, they didn't show her talks with her father Brian about her feelings, they didn't really show the feelings of any of the characters.
The part of the film that irked me the most was how they completely changed the ending!! How could Jodi Picoult allow them to completely change the entire theme of the book! Having Anna not die in the end completely disregards the theme of "you are brought to this earth for one reason...". I can't believe that they ruined her amazing story like that. The ending was predictable, and it lacked the shock and sadness the ending the book had. I was severly dissapointed. I sobbed while reading the book, I think that for me the book was sadder than the film.
In conclusion, the acting in the film was amazing, a great protrayal of the characters, but it was overshadowed by the terrible butchering of a beautifully sad and amazing story.
