I've read and watched True Blood and decided they are nothing like each other. So I think you either like one or the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-59215213433756581732011-02-23T02:33:14.983-05:002011-02-23T02:33:14.983-05:00Ghost in the Shell is very good, much more serious...Ghost in the Shell is very good, much more serious than the manga, but very good. I'd recommend the series as well, Stand Alone Complex. It's a very good balance of some of the lighter aspects of the manga while keeping with the kind of bleak cyberpunk feel of the movie. :)<br /><br />GUILLERMO DEL TORO IS ADAPTING AT THE MOUTH OF MADNESS?

I love Ti...The film of Orlando is actually decent. I love Tilda Swinton as Orlando, and some of the set design really channels the bizarre allegorical quality of the book (though I think Sally Potter could have done more in this regard). But I hate hate HATE what she did to the Shelmerdine character, who is played atrociously by Billy Zane, and to Orlando's relationship with him, which is weirdly transformed into her badgering him into having a baby. I will forever hold it against the film and it will eclipse all the film's good qualities for me. Still, if you're not as attached to that relationship in the book you would probably enjoy the movie.Emilyhttp://www.eveningallafternoon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-81280888726719115282011-02-22T16:06:38.010-05:002011-02-22T16:06:38.010-05:00I really need to watch Interview with the Vampire ...I really need to watch Interview with the Vampire - it's been on my list forever. Also, one of these days I'll read an Anne Rice book. I saw her house when I was in New Orleans a few years ago...not that that is particularly relevant!<br /><br />I watched Orlando last winter and really liked it - it's similar to the book, but not exact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-28476084405353714842011-02-22T15:28:52.016-05:002011-02-22T15:28:52.016-05:00Oh, Precious is so good, but unbelievably sad!
