And now I have seen trailers for the film. And Claire Abshire has shoulder length hair. Why? In these days of hair extensions? Why? When it's stated in the book that she feels there are there are three of them in the relationship; Claire, Henry and her hair. Why not even bother?
I've been spanked here before for making too much of a deal of original texts (aka beloved books - note the viewpoint.) So I am not going to mention this again.
EXCEPT! EXCEPT! The wedding is outside! How can Henry hide?
No, I mean it.
I didn't go see the Narnia films,
Coraline, The Dark Is Rising, The Golden Compass. I won't go see this. So you'll be spared my grumpiness. FTR - this didn't fit in the other thread, not being a children's book - it's just been discussed here recently.
