Have you recently just watched or read a book that was horrid? Just give the Title, Author(book) and why you thought it was bad.

Eragon the movie was horrible, they changed 2 much stuff from how it went in the book

That was VERY true. So was the recent Twilight movie. It combined characters, and skipped important parts of the book, making it seem dumber and more complexe (for those who didn't read the book first)all at the same time.

i read the book but still liked the movie, but maybe that was because i saw the movie THEN read the book

exactly! the same thing happened with me

yeah, I think I would have liked them both, but I read the book first, so I was to critical throughout the movie.

maybe the next one will be better.

i went to see twilight with my friends (6) and we were laughind hysterically throughout the movie.

yeah, i'm pretty sure everyone in the theater wanted to shoot me and hailey in the face. BUT IT WAS SO FUNNY. brooke was commenting the whole time on how ugly edward was. lol. he wasn't that bad though. just not nearly amazing enough to be edward.

also, Boogyman. (may have spelling that wrong) it was horrible. I watched it fastforwarded almost the whole time with brooke and jackie and i still wanted to kill someone.

Haha, yeah Twilight was hilarious, and Brooke's commenting made it like 30 billion times better. Every two minutes she was like, 'He's so ugly', 'Vampires don't fly', 'He would never leave her up in the tree like that', 'Edward sparkles'

aaaaaargh they killed the ra'azac..... *shakes head*

According to friends in this group the movie Knowing
Though I haven't seen it yet.

The movie Johnny Tremain was horrible compared to the book by esther forbes. the book revolves around johnny, while the movie revolves around the civil war. ooh, and i reccomend johnny tremain!

Please don't shoot me, but the last book that I gave up on was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It started well, but continued to deteriorate as the pages went on. I found it very unpractical that the big three (Harry, Ron, and Hermione) were never kicked out of Hogwarts after all of their antics.

How do you watch a book?

Elf Bowling. Oh. My. Gosh.
Not really sure why I watched it. (Actually I watched the end half and then the beginning and part of the end. So like once and a half or something.) But I have four younger siblings, two of which could have put it on to watch.
Everything wrong.
Well, I'll give it 2/10 for the potential it HAD due to the story it STARTED with. And because they were able to make it over an hour.
Right, so.....

Well, what can I say? Everything wrong.
Animation was decent enough. I mean, it's a kids movie, I don't expect everything to be logical or the animation to be top notch.

If you want details on exactly what was bad, I'll tell you. But it would be really long if I said everything.

Hotel for Dogs. I'm putting this in the top 5 worst movies I've ever seen.


Well, for starters, stupid. I mean I went to it KNOWING it was a kids movie and would have a happy ending and not a lot of action and all that stuff. So you know, I try not to be too skeptical.

I suppose it's okay for kids, but, oh ya, there was that one part.....Where the 13-15 year old falls in "love" (if you can call it that!) with the 17-21 year old. And, oh, don't forget the kiss at the end!

So, I'll start off with the cheesey "love" part. So, the 14 year old (let's just say that's her age) walks into this pet store, and there's the 19 (again, let's just say) standing there doing something, I don't know, he works there! So she walks in and then they look at each other and you can totally tell that this is going to end up being a cheesey, stupid, kids "love" (and I use the term loosely) story.

So, the movie goes on in all it's unrealisticness. Yada yada, the dogs get saved, everybody's happy- *kiss* Woah, didn't see THAT coming (ya, riiiiight).

Watching stuff like makes me not as surprised at something I found out about a few weeks prior to seeing it: 13 year old father, 15 year old mother. In case you haven't heard: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/...

Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton

"Look at me, I'm a bitchy whore who shags vampires"

The main character is an annoying whore who everyone has to have sex with for some reason. The author has little grasp on occult (Oh, but I forgot, she's a Wiccan now!) and no sense on reality as that one freak out on her blog shows.

Her writing just sucks. Period.

I went to Twilight and sat next to my fan who was a big fan of Twilight(the book) and watching her was more entertaining then the movie I wasted $8 on.

That and I dislike the Anita Blake series, so boring and annoying.

Wow...I must be getting lame in my ripe old age of 16. I love Anita Blake, Hotel for Dogs wasn't to bad(though the ending was stupid), and TWILIGHT JUST SUCKS!!!!! Well, the movie that is.... Ugh! If I could, I would sneak onto the set of every Stephanie Meyer movie creation and burn EVERYTHING... Yea, I said EVERYTHING.. Because whom ever produced the bucket of POOP, probably couldn't even locate their own butthole!! Excuse my language, but seriously! That is ridiculous!
And yes, if you are wondering, which you probably aren't but of well, yes I am the friend that Tetsu was talking about being so funny, and yes I still rant whenever I watch Twilight. And I still can't make it through the entire video without screaming about SOMETHING.. And when I go to see New Moon in theatres, I am taking you Tetsu and you should bring a recorder and we will post it somewhere... so you can all see just how weird I am...

well then.

somebody up there mentioned that the movie knowing was bad... really? it looked cool....

I'm not surprised to hear that Knowing is bad. Sounded like a cool idea, maybe for a book, but not a movie...
'"What happens when the numbers run out?" "I don't know.."'
I'm not even going to comment out that line..
~Sessy

ah yeah, that line's a bit.... lacking. but still. it looked cool :P

Grand Torino is a good movie, with Clint Eastwood. The ending is a little 'eh' but overall the movie is still really good. Made my mom cry, but she's a baby anyway..

You guys all need to see 500 Days of Summer.

God that sounds horrible! I still have a month and a half left of summer and already miss school! (Because I'm weird like that...)
~Sessy

Summer is the name of a girl.

God! That's even worse!

Geez I know! I don't even want to mention what my what my mind thought off after finding this out...
THINK: 500 Days OF Summer... (Extra added emphasis on 'OF'....you see)*snickers*
