Blood and Chocolate will not be showing at the theater here. I am so freakin' pissed! I mean, I know it won't be anything like the book, and therefore not nearly as amazing. But if you ignore the fact it's butchered the novel, it should be pretty good. Afterall, Underworld was pretty awesome

I expect a review whenever you do see the movie because I'm probably not going to watch it. If Gabriel and Vivian don't get together I won't even think of renting it. It's the only really I tolerated Vivian's "I just want to be normal girl" angst. When she and Gabriel got together she'd accepted herself. If she chooses the human, so insignificant to me that I can't even remember his name, I will be pissed.

The other guy's name was Aidan, which I only remember because I intensely disliked him. The first time I read the book I kept wondering what she saw in him when Gabriel was just a way more amazing person.

The previews make it seem like she goes on the run with Aidan, not like she goes on the hunt for him. If I get the time, I'll probably go all the way to Rochester just to see it, though.

Yeeaaah and you know what's on tommorrow night, Ju? I'll give you a hint. ;o)

I can't wait for it either! Heroes is also returning tomorrow night, so all weekend I've been cramming in my homework so I could leave Monday night free to watch TV.

I'm hearing rumors that Sara might die, which I really hope isn't the case. I'm not always thrilled with her, but the romantic in me needs for her and Michael to be together in the end.

Also, Kellerman? Is officially made of awesome. I can't wait to see them have to work together.

I don't want Sara to die, then there would be absolutely no women on the show!

Kellerman is really a Magnificent Bastard. (tm Sobell)

Is Blood and Chocolate coming out the 26th?

Oh, apparently it's going to be set in Europe and Gabriel is Vivian's Uncle....I know....craziness.

Also, the author of Dresden Files has his own LJ, I just can't remember his name. There's this crazy promotional livejournal as well for Blood and Chocolate, again, I can't remember the name for it. Something darkest secrets or something. Anyway, it has more info about the movie and a lot of people complaining about the slaughtering of the book.

Okay, I knew they were putting it in Europe and aging Vivian, even cutting out Esme (one of my favorite characters), but making vivian and Gabriel related? WTF? The movie is going to suck so badly now, no matter what.

Anyway, it has more info about the movie and a lot of people complaining about the slaughtering of the book.

Thanks for the tip; I'll run a search for it, just to see how else they've ruined it.

I'm going to go see Blood and Chocolate out of morbid curiosity. I have to see how badly they raped the book.

I'm going to be taking Women in Literature, Early Western history, American history pre-Civil War, and Psychology this semester. I go in to register, minding my own business, and as soon as I start talking to one of the people doing the registering, he decides that I *must* take their honors English class and I am then shuffled from person to person until I end up signed up for their precious Women in Lit. course. It was amusing how they treated the other courses as an afterthought.

I'll probably have to hope Blood and Chocolate is still showing somewhere in Queens when I go home, or get it on bootleg.

History and literature courses, huh? And a psych class? Sounds awfully like someone else's schedule...

When do your classes start?

[redcandle17]

You're accusing me of stealing your classes?! Well, I never!

Classes start Monday the 29th, except the European history one which doesn't start until Feb 13th for some reason.
