Baby steps, Isobel. But I agree; *that* movie would have been AMAZING. I could also picture the same movie, but with Emily Blunt in the TC role and Angelina Jolie in the EB role (or Michelle Rodriguez! GAH!!). I hope that now that so many heroine-centric movies have been successful we'll see more action movies with women as protagonists. I hope big action stars make a comeback and that they are all women. At least someone make a Wonder Woman movie, please!Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694232807189281284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-5776751590523488972014-06-12T13:05:21.189-04:002014-06-12T13:05:21.189-04:00I would so rather have seen the movie about how th...I would so rather have seen the movie about how the Emily Blunt character became the great heroine of the war than a redux of her story with a male lead where she gets reduced to sidekick.

Blogger ate my looong comment!!! Gah!
It'...NOO! Blogger ate my looong comment!!! Gah!<br /><br />It's went something like this:<br /><br />1. The Martian is awesome, so put it on top of the pile.<br />2. I'm so out of touch with the Outlander stuff, that I didn't even know what MOHB was or that there was a new book out. I've heard more about the TV show.<br />3. I like TC's movies, even though his previous one was pure crap, but EoT is fabulous and worth watching at the theater.<br />4. I do want to watch TFiOS, but I'll wait until it's on DVD.

Long time no see ;-)
I thought the book was...Jade! Long time no see ;-)<br /><br />I thought the book was too manipulative and too obvious in its manipulation. And JG already had a huge fan base not just from his previous books but also from his internet videos, so I'm sure that helped increase the amount of hype. I'm waiting for it to die down a bit before I watch the movie.

(You can stop gagging now).<br /><br />I don't normally like Tom Cruise (ever since he dumped our Nicole, I've held a grudge) but I've heard good things about this movie so we'll probably see it.<br /><br />I have NO interest in seeing or reading The Fault in Our Stars. I could just cut onions for a day and get the same result. Ugh.

I finally read it because of all the hubub the movie is causing. I've had it about a year now and always hesitated because it dealt with death and cancer and terminal illness and it just kind of felt too close to home. But anyways, it did not live up to the hype for me. Frankly I don't see what everyone is so in love with about. It was an okay story, but not as great as people have touted it to be.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746143201789518072noreply@blogger.com
