I’m just as feral for this moment as everyone else and I know a lot of ppl are talking about how Henry’s leading here…BUT MAY I REMIND YALL WHAT PROCEEDS THIS?!

Alex secluding Henry only to pin him to a table in front of a founding fathers portrait to make out and then LEAVING 7(5, thanks Amy) minutes in heaven by saying:

“You are gonna go be, like, five hundred feet away from me for the rest of the night, or else I am going to do something that I will deeply regret in front of a lot of very important people. And then,” Alex says, and he grabs Henry's tie again, close to the knot, and draws his mouth up to a breath away from Henry's. He hears Henry swallow. He wants to follow the sound down his throat. "And then you are going to come to the East Bedroom on the second foor at eleven o'clock to-night, and I am going to do very bad things to you, and if you fucking ghost me again, I'm going to get you put on a fucking no-fly list. Got it?”

So yeah man’s has a lot of catching up to do

Movie Frodo: Sweet, gentle, trusting, brave. Very much feels like he's a bit of a damsel in distress. I love him tho.

Book Frodo: feisty, committed petty mushroom theft regularly as a kid, first response when faced with an elder itch horror is to stab it. I also love him.

NOTE: I said “LESS famous changes” - which means the more famous ones (Tom Bombadil, Faramir, Gimli, etc) do not apply here.

One of my favorite undercurrent themes from The Hunger Games is how Katniss and Peeta use the power of intuition and self-trust to win, and eventually overthrow an entire tyrannical government.

I’ve always felt that the Hunger Games movies were pretty decent in regards to being a faithful book adaptation. I mean, we’ve seen a lot worse (hello, Ender’s Game), and it felt like the central idea of the story was at least preserved. The characters felt true to themselves most of the time, and important relationships were mostly kept. Plus we got extra Effie, so.

But the thing I miss the most from the books is the first person point of view, especially the inner dialogue Katniss had during the first games, and how much she had to really trust her own intuition to survive.

In the movie, when supplies were delivered from Haymitch, a note with context is included so that we don’t have to guess what the items are for, and because there was no way to really portray that on screen since the POV was changed to an omniscient and silent narrator. When she receives the jar of medicine from Haymitch, there’s a little note that reads “You call that a kiss!” So that Katniss will understand that she needs to amp up the romance between her and Peeta so that sponsors will send more supplies.

But in the books, Katniss has to just use her intuition to understand and make connections between her behavior and the appearance of sponsor drones. She doesn’t get any convenient little notes with explanations in the drones. But Katniss is a successful hunter because she has learned pattern recognition, and she is able to use this skill to anticipate and manipulate a situation in her favor. She is astute and calculating-because that’s what survival requires. She figures out what Haymitch is communicating to her by understanding who he is as a mentor and remembering his words before the games. Which is impressive considering that she is half starving and being hunted by the other tributes, along with caring for Peeta when he is injured.

And even though he figures out that Katniss used his kisses as leverage for sponsors, Peeta understands why she had to. Peeta sees Katniss for who she is, and loves her for it. In fact, before the Capitol gets to him, Peeta trusts Katniss implicitly. Not because he is just a simp for her, but because he has the ability to use his intuition and trusts his own judgment about her character. This is a power that few people have, and it balances them out equally.

Both agree to eat the berries without hesitation. Katniss can trust Peeta because she first learned to trust herself. Peeta can trust Katniss because he first learned to trust himself.

This is how they survived.

Even though I'm no big fan of Tim Burton's Alice movies, I do think it's a tiny bit silly when people groan about it "distorting" the message of the "original" Alice (meaning the 1951 Disney movie). saying"Wonderland isn't supposed to teach Alice to embrace her inner weirdness and rebelliousness. She's supposed to learn to appreciate real-world logic and rules."

Because I don't think either of those messages can be found in the original books.

i'm always going to love newt's letter (like everyone else) and i need to cry every fucking time i listen to it because my heart breaks and it's perfect for the movie, but i also believe nothing beats the crushing, shocking feeling of emptiness the original note gives you.

it's just... so heartbreaking.

you feel as if your soul is leaving your body, there's no other way to put it. and perhaps it's not fair to compare them, because the context of the movie AND the book are very different.

the letter (movie) hurts the soul because it's a farewell, because it makes more real the fact that it's over, newt is no more and there's nothing to do. newt knew that thomas was going to take all the blame, he was going to torture himself with it, and he was no longer going to be there to help him with his soft and comforting words like he always was, so he wrote that hoping it would help thomas a little to start healing (if that's possible) and make him understand that he was going to be okay. seeks to give some kind of comfort, newt had already accepted what was going to happen to him. it's a goodbye, and one last attempt to offer his unconditional love and support to thomas.

the note (book) is the opposite.

the note doesn't seek to comfort at all, it's a cry for help. and thomas himself thinks so; how desperate must newt feel to write that, thinking that he had no other choice? and entrust the favor to thomas, of all people. you get chills when you read it because between those lines there's only despair and pain, and the first time you don't even expect it but it breaks your heart, because newt is fucking terrified of the disease that is going to drive him crazy and he's suffering, he's in panic and so, so scared, he'd rather die than turn into a monster. he doesn't seek to relieve thomas, to say that everything is fine. he desperately wants help.

and i know that several people wonder why he asked thomas and not minho; even though i feel it's kinda complicated, i think newt knew minho wouldn't dare to do something like that. and honestly, would newt have wanted to ask his best friend to end his life, if he didn't even want minho to see him lose his mind? i know i couldn't do that.

Alex steps out next, swaggering up beside Henry and throwing an arm over his shoulders. “Act like you like me!” Alex says cheerfully. Henry looks at him like he’s trying to choose between a million choice words, before tipping his head to the side and offering up a well-rehearsed laugh, putting his arm around Alex too. “There we go.”

Alex watches the introductions backstage as a makeup artist conceals a stress pimple on his forehead. So, this is happening. He tries to ignore Henry a few feet to his left, currently getting a final preening from a royal stylist. It’s the last chance he’ll get to ignore Henry for the rest of the day.

Henry sits on the prop couch next to him, perfect posture, and Alex smiles at him, making a show of looking comfortable in Henry’s company. Which is harder than it should be...

He realizes, almost a second too late, that Dottie is asking him a question. “What do you think of jolly old England, then, Alex?” Dottie says, clearly ribbing him. Alex forces a smile.

“You know, Dottie, it’s gorgeous,” Alex says. “I’ve been here a few times since my mom got elected, and it’s always incredible to see the history here, and the beer selection.”

The audience laughs right on cue, and Alex shakes out his shoulders a little. “And of course, it’s always great to see this guy.” He turns to Henry, extending his fist. Henry hesitates before stiffly bumping his own knuckles against Alex’s with the heavy air of an act of treason.

So I figured out this thing with Alby's character change to the movie and how that affects the plot, and I felt the need to share that.

As we all know, Alby's character was really very severely changed from the book to the movie. He went from rude, annoying, unhelpful, and generally unlikeable to a perfectly good, model, "let me show you the world" leader. This could be for a variety of reasons, but, in my opinion, it's mainly because Alby was actually a fairly complex character, and movies are shorter than books. Using the common ratio of one page of script = one minute of recording, movies have an average of 131 pages, while books tend to be between 300 and 400. So you can have less character development in movies.

The thing is, despite this change being very... different, there is a plot-wise justification. In the book, Alby has been the leader for less than a month when Thomas arrives (he's the first greenie since Nick died). He's also being watched by everyone in the Glade, and is simultaneously trying to seem at least mildly comforting to the new kid so he doesn't freak out and klunk his pants and intimidate the other Gladers into silence. Then Newt comes along and does stuff better than him, which only make his nerves worse, and the Greenie isn't exactly cooperating... which all helps to make Alby stressed out and make a more unpleasant first impression.

Now, in the movie, they do change Alby's personality, I won't deny that, but a large part of what they do to him is change his environment. He's been the leader since the beginning (and, since his way of imposing himself as a leader in the books was by yelling and being rude, and he's no longer rude, there would be no reason for him to stick out in a group of og Gladers, so they had to make him the only one, but they needed to make the amount of Gladers the same so they made him spend more time there... I think I found why they made it three years instead of two) so he's better at it. He know how to calm Greenies down because he's been doing it for three years, and it also helps that when he interacts with Thomas, no one else is there.

And that's basically it, but I was analysing the Maze Runner for school and had to leave this out of my final draft, but am still very proud of it and wanted to share it with someone so yeah. Here you go.

Sometimes I forget how scary Book!Dumbeldore was.

"At that moment, Harry fully understood for the first time why people said Dumbledore was the only wizard Voldemort had ever feared. The look upon Dumbledore's face as he stared down at the unconscious form of Mad-Eye Moody was more terrible than Harry had ever imagined. There was no benign smile upon Dumbledore's face, no twinkle in his eyes behind the spectacles. There was cold fury in every line of the ancient face; a sense of power radiated from Dumbledore as though he were giving off burning heat."
