Mischa Barton isn't the only person on the planet who needs someone else to fix her coffee in the morning. There's a small business named Starbucks dedicated to that, you might have heard of them?
Forever blowing your mind,

2. Bunch your skirt up around your waist rather than dropping it down. It makes the ninja toilet bikenjutsu much easier to execute.
We all know you could totally have taken that guy if you hadn't been at a disadvantage.

Alright, Barbie, what the hell church do you go to that you think there will be sparkly accessories waiting for you in heaven? Where is the "pretty pretty princess accessory clause" in the bible? I only pick on this because I don't think she's being figurative. I feel like this is a girl (yes, "girl," honey. grow up if you want to be called a woman) actually believes in an afterlife where she will be gifted sparkly jewelry and pretty dresses tailored by Jesus himself.

My childhood choice of name? Probably would have been a throwdown between Rainbow Chocolate PuppyBasket or just straight up Batgirl

I guess I'm having sort of the opposite reaction to @ucellucica's husband. I really loved the book when I was little, so it makes me wonder why they felt like they had to change everything about it except for the "food falls from sky" part. Any kid that asks for the book after seeing the movie is going to be sorely disappointed by the lack of chase scenes and Mr. T. I liked it just the way it was...

Yeah, but one of the things I liked was they really made an effort to bring out ALL the iconic images from the book, you know? The pancake on the house, the people drinking orange juice out of an umbrella...I guess I wasn't that upset because the book doesn't really have much of a plot to begin with, so I wasn't that upset with giving it one - but I can see how loving it as a kid would make you annoyed with the result.

It was one of my boyfriend's favorites too, and he really liked the movie. Hope your husband has a similar experience!

When they adapt children's books like Cloudy or Where the Wild Things are, I understand that they have to add stuff or the movie would be 20 minutes long at most. I just wonder why they really bother at that point. Plus I feel bad for the poor screen writer! Poor soul basically comes up with an original work that, at most, borrows a premise from a book, but doesn't get the glory of a totally original movie.
