hide your eyes if you hate loud internet screams, eat some cranberries & gravy

Thanksgiving

Am.So.Full.

4:30pm - begin eating feast, one of 17 extended family members
5:00pm - completely full
6:00ish pm - watch last half hour of Vanilla Sky, no lead-in of what's going. Am unimpressed; they explain everything anyway so watching the first hour and a half is unnecessary.
6:20ish pm - start dishes, all 7 grandchildren + brother's girlfriend in same kitchen
7:00ish pm - start to check email and LJ. Am.So.Full.

They're making a movie of Ender's Game.

I invite you to all scream beside me in unrestrained agony.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don't care how involved the writer is, this is NOT a story that will translate well to a film medium, particularly to an American audience. It's a very popular American book, even used in several high school cirriculums, but it's just not the kind o thing that translates well into films. We're not talking LOTR here. This can only be a mistake.

Of course I'll see it anyway, but I just know it will break my heart. Broken, broken, broken.

For me, as a 14 year old, Ender's Game was a change-your-life book that I wish someone had given to me at 9 or 10, instead. One of my top 4 favorite books EVER. I love it so much that I haven't even read the sequels yet for fear that I won't like them and it will taint my perfect love of the original.

I can't bear the thought of it as a poorly done film. Broken, broken, broken heart.
