The Queen of No

In reply to Lovely Bones, Ugly Hair?
It almost looks and seems like this movie is going to be better than the actual book. Peter Jackson is a great filmmaker. Great cast, too. Though, I wish they would have kept Ryan Gosling as the father, instead of Mark Wahlberg; I think they really underestimated his acting abilities.

What is with all the trailers of trailers lately? Have our attention spans become so shortened, and our need for immediate information about movies that are still in the process of being filmed so immense that they have to show short abbreviated trailers of trailers? Didn't they do this at the MTV Movie Awards (a "teaser" of a "trailer) with the new Twilight movie to get the tweens all riled up?
(Thus concludes Peter Griffin's "You know what really grinds my gears?")

Or maybe he'll keep it and win an Oscar.

@sympathyforthebasementcat: I think being in "The Happening" disqualifies one from ever winning an Oscar. Or at the very least it should.

@Lizard in the Wires, coloring > learning flash: But that will also disqualify Alan Ruck, Zooey Deschanel and Spencer Breslin!

@Eleanor Ramilly: Well, don't go ruling out Spencer Breslin now. Because then I might have to fight you. His sister is already a nominee, right?

Ryan Gosling wouldn't have worn that terrible man weave. Casting FAIL!

Boy, this movie took a long time to hit the big screen. Gotta say, I was not as big a fan of this book as many many many very defensive friends of mine were.

@otherginger: *SPOILER ALERT* I was down with the rape/murder/following the killer. It was well-written and interesting. The whole heaven and possession of her friend to fuck her crush bit at the end--I could have puked. It was maudlin and ridiculous, not to mention the whole middle of the book was 75% unnecessary.

@LaComtesse: YES! I thought it was pretty good up until that bizzaro twist. At that point I was too invested to put the book down, but I was sorely tempted.

@LaComtesse: Did you read her memoir? I liked this book, despite having the same problems with it you did, and reading the memoir sort of made me understand why she chose to write this novel.

@otherginger: My response to this book was MEH, but I loved her book Lucky, which is about her experience as a rape victim. It may not be reflective of the majority of rapes, as her was a stranger-in-an-alley encounter, but I found her writing in Lucky to be really honest, and even funny.

@LaComtesse: @LaComtesse: The "I will possess your body to fuck my crush" was over-the-top and nagged at me even though I really liked the book other than that. I think it got me when she reunited with her dog in heaven. Oh my god I sat in my room and bawled at that part. If they do that part in the movie, I will flood the cinema.

@GeorgeFayne: "Lucky" is one of the best books I've ever read. After reading it I volunteered as a victim's advocate at my local Rape Response Center, because I was so moved. And for what it's worth, I LOVED The Lovely Bones and read it in one long sitting on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

@MissPeacock: I hated The Lovely Bones so much I have never been able to bring myself to read Lucky.
I definitely won't be watching the film as it's bound to be even cheesier than the book...

@LaComtesse: I enjoyed the book until that whole ending. It didn't seem to fit at all, like it was tacked on. And it turned the whole tone of the book into something different that I couldn't generate much interest in.
That said, I'm still curious to see the movie. I'm not sure the book deserved as much praise as it got, but I still enjoyed it on a "beach reading" level. I'd like to see how that translates to film.

Oh how fabulous. Getting Marky Mark to take time from his busy pants-dropping schedule to make a movie.
