Ben Barnes, you have failed me.

Today I did two things - I finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, and also ended up watching the movie - Dorian Gray. I wasn't a huge fan of the book, but I was curious about the movie. And then when I found that Ben Barnes was Dorian Gray I was like woooo!! But as the title says, I am very disappointed in him. And the movie.

The book's plotline was pretty brilliant - it was a story about a guy named Dorian Gray whose portrait got old and ruined as his soul did but his face remained as perfectly youthful. The movie should've been so good - it had quite a good cast (include Petunia Dursley!). But it focused too much on the vulgar aspects of the book instead of the really awesome, intelligently built plotline. It completely missed bits of the plot and the director or screenplay writer or whatever decided to put in their own stuff instead. The character of Emily at the end I'm pretty sure wasn't in the book, but she was one of the only good additions. The movie was so disgusting that I'm embarassed to have watched it.

And Ben Barnes! For goodness sake! There was nothing good about him in the movie aside from his attractiveness! Sure, his character dictated that he had to act all cocky but his acting was so monotonous and annoying! The few bits that he was meant to show emotion was horribly disappointing. GAH! You have failed me!

The book was soooo much better than the movie! Ajuni was right when she warned me that the movie was crappy.

Music-ing & Disappointing Movies

I woke up this morning and took on the goal of doing something to do with music! So after quite a few failed attempts at learning how to play songs on the keyboard off YouTube, I decided to put all my effort into mastering Rolling on the Deep by Adele. It's such an attitude filled song, it's quite amazing :D Adele is incredible.
I'm procrastinating a lot these days - I have the next chapter of my book planned out in my head yet I just can't be bothered sitting at my desk and picking up a pen. Only God knows what will happen to me during the school certificate.
Have any of you guys watched French Food Safari? I came across it while I was flicking through channels, biding my time until the ginormously long ad break finished for some other show. GAH the food looked soooo good... I sat and stared at the television and just drooled. And that episode was dedicated to chocolate... all those fatty foods... yuuuum.
I'm thinking of watching Red Riding Hood. Apparently it's really, really bad. This may sound harsh but since Catherine Hardwicke (director of Twilight) directed the movie, the outlook is quite bleak for me. Oh well, since Amanda Seyfried is the lead I'm going to try it. Hopefully it won't be too horrible.
Still on the topic of movies, yesterday I watched A Walk to Remember after.. hmm... say three or four years? The first time I watched it, I think I cried. Even if I didn't, I remember that I loved the movie. But when I watched it yesterday... oh my, it was terrible. Mandy Moore... she was just... very... cliche. "You have to promise not to fall in love with me". Note that this was said with a very pretentious expression on her face. OH MY GOSH I just clicked to another page. Thank goodness this autosaved. Anywho, movies when you look back on them really aren't that great a lot of the time. Which is disappointing.

That's all for now folks!
