I just read that Pride and Prejudice will be republished with "explosive sex scenes". I hate that. It's taking me a while to read P&P, but I've seen the movie enough times to know how wrong that is. The reason it's so romantic is that there are no sex scenes or much physical interaction at all. No one's going to care or understand what a huge thing it was when Darcy took Elizabeth's hand to help her into the carriage if they just had sex.
Do you remember the outrage over casting Amandla Stenberg as Rue in The Hunger Games? People were pissed off that they cast a black girl in a lead role. Completely ignoring the fact that she was described as dark skinned in the book. I guess it's easy to ignore a character's race or ethnicity when you're just reading about them. I myself have done it. I pictured Alice as a little Asian pixie when I read Twilight, it's like I just ignored her description. Now people are upset about the casting of Godfrey Gao as Magnus Bane in the City of Bones movie. Magnus is Asian American in the book, why wouldn't an Asian actor be cast? I just don't understand what is wrong with people! Speaking as a reader who was transported into the magical world of shadowhunters, I just think these racists assholes are letting this ruin the book for them.
I started reading Game of Thrones; the tv show interested me and my cousin told me to read the book. It didn't really do anything for me. It isn't bad or boring, I liked it when I would read it, but there was nothing really that got me hooked. I couldn't sit there and read this 900 page book without wanting something else to read. So I'd start another book with this sitting on my nightstand. I think I'm giving up.
Big Brother day for me. I don't understand why all the players are so concerned with what the coaches say or want. At this point at least, those four players are basically nothing in this game.I don't like that there are forced alliances, this is an individual game! You shouldn't be thinking about what your "team" wants because there are no teams! I hate veto comps because there's always all this talk about how they should and might use it, but no one ever does. No one has any guts!
As usual, Fringe and it's outstandingly terrific cast has been snubbed by the Emmys.
