This summer, I devoured The Millennium Trilogy. That is, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl who Played with Fire," and "The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest." Holy Cow they were amazing. All three of them. And one of my favorite things in life is adaptations...any type. Books into movies, movies into plays, books into musicals into movies into plays into books again. Even if they're terrible, I want to see/read/watch all iterations ("Time Traveler's Wife," for example. One of my top 5 fave books, was dying to see the movie, loved the movie, but it was a terrible adaptation. Still love both.)
So the original (meaning Swedish) movie of book #1 was on Instant Netflix this summer, and I made old roommate Claire watch it with me. It was FABULOUS. One of the best adaptations of a book into a movie. I was dying all summer to see the original of book #2, but I didn't get around to it. It became available on Instant Netflix last week, and I've been watching it (in pieces because of various things going on around the apartment), and it is not even close to being as good as the first. I'm a little disappointed. I'll let you know what I think when I finally finish it. And regardless, I'll be seeing original movie #3. In all honesty, I'll see American movies 1-3 also.
In other news, the show I'm currently working on is going to be featured on the WGN Midday News tomorrow! Baller! I'm not needed or called for the filming, but I'm invited. I'm DEFINITELY going, because how cool will it be to see how news and stuff is filmed!
Right now the Colts are playing the Eagles on CBS. I got home in time to see the second half. But because my brain is so thoroughly theatre-ized, when I texted my dad to say I was able to watch the second half, I almost said "I got home at intermission and will get to watch act 2!" Oops!
