So we went to the remake of The Stepford Wives last night, which was fine, but the important thing is that I saw a preview and they're doing a movie of the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books! And I don't want to hear any sassmouth about how Jim Carrey is going to ruin it. I'm seeing the movie and I'm rambling randomly about it both until and

OMG. HOW will Jim Carrey ruin it? That movie is gonna rock hard. Hehe..

I can't wait! I've read all those books.

I'm sooooo excited... it looks awesome. The children look just like the illustrations in the book.

I saw the preview too, and I totally didn't get it. I mean, it looks really fun, but I've literally never heard of the books. What are they [like]? What's so cool about them? I assume they're for children?

They are kids books... it would be kinda hard for me to explain because I only managed to read about half of one before my sister demanded it back. Basically, it's about the Baudelaire orphans who go to live with their eccentric uncle and unfortunate events keep happening to them.

Ooh... hence the title. ;)

Heh... yeah. It's hard to describe the style of the books, though... very tongue-in-cheek. Worth checking out if you happen upon them.
