Paper Towns

OK SO I SAW PAPER TOWNS TWO DAYS AGO AND IVE BEEN GATHERING MY THOUGHTS AND I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT IT LIKE A LOT SO LETS HOPE THIS ISN'T A MILLION PAGES LONG

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. NOT HUGE SPOILERS BUT ENOUGH TO BE IMPORTANT.

The short review: It was really good.

And now...

The long review: Alright so the beginning of it was wonderful, it stayed very true to the book. It made me feel all the emotions that the book did, and set up the plot line and characters very well. There were a couple book-to-movie discrepancies later on in the movie, but they were small, relatively unimportant differences. The road trip was portrayed quite well. The only change that really made me upset was at the end, the scene where Q found Margo. It was supposed to take place in the little farmhouse type place she was living in. The dialogue and atmosphere of the scene was completely different. There were a lot of ideas and metaphors that emerged in that scene in the book, but that weren't there in the movie. I feel like a lot of the complexities and intricacies of the book weren't included in the movie. The ending was good and pretty true to the book. Overall, it was brilliant. The characters were portrayed well and the plot was great and made sense even without having read the book. It was funny and sad and emotional and cute and weird and a perfect blend of emotions.

In conclusion, you should probably go watch Paper Towns. It's a really great movie. And then read the book. That's more important. Books.

Also!

Also in my last post I forgot to say something about the fact that everyone can now get married in every state. So yeah, that was pretty awesome. I mean, it's about time. And it still frustrates me that there was even a law against same sex marriage in the first place, but hey, we're making progress. Whoop whoop!!

Updates and I'm reALLY SORRY I HAVEN'T POSTED IN 50 MILLION YEARS

Hi!
Ok I realize I haven't posted in about a month and that that's a long time. But I have reasons. Allow me to disclose them for you now
•Stuff hasn't really been happening in my life. Nothing interesting to blog about anyway.

That's it, that's the reason. Did I imply that there were than one? Whoops. That was a big fat lie. Yeah I've just been having a relatively boring life recently. Although my best friend just came down from Oklahoma which is suuuuuuper exciting cause I don't get to see her often. Let's see, what else has been happening...

•I ordered two novelizations of Avenger's comic books and they came today and I caNNOT WAIT TO READ THEM
•I read lots of painful Harry Potter headcannons and my love for Sirius subsequently strengthened
•I got 3 and a half hours of sleep and then waterskiied the next morning
•I got a new poster thing from Books A Million that's turquoise and vintage looking with a purple hat that says "we're all mad here" and I really love it a lot
•I discovered that I don't hate the word "Lover" as much as I used to
•I've been hardcore internet stalking my friend's friend who got annoyed when I texted him obsessively every minute of the day (I know, I don't get it either)
Andddddddd
•I felt bad about not posting anything on here
So thanks guys. I have literally 2 regular readers (that I know of...) and I felt guilty for not posting. And one of them I've seen dozens of times since the last post!! Www.whythinks.blogspot.com go read her blog it's great

Annnyyyywwwaaaayyyyyy
I hope you've been surviving without my unhelpful (but honestly pretty entertaining) posts. I promise to post sooner next time. Maybe I'll share some headcannons or fanfic with you soon. yAy! :D
