I did not tweet TVS but I kept talking and talking about it, like for two days. :) and to think I haven’t read the book pa ha? My gosh. I’m still gushing over it.

[...] their careers to movie script writing. P.S. I Love You and The Devil Wears Prada are better off in the big screen than in 3-inch think [...]

Which reminds me, I have to watch TVS again :)

TTW is a great read. But if you’ve seen the movie first before the book, I guess it’ll kind of ruin it :( I have this rule of not reading books after I’ve seen the movie adaptation. Unless it’s really good. I would’ve appreciated TTW if it was a science fiction and they explained Henry’s genes rearranging in time.

I have to agree that TTW movie is one of the rare adaptation that is better (or as cool) as the book. I love the book when I read it years back but I must agree with you that it’s quite confusing. The movie is much better and Rachel is the bomb (can’t see a trace of Regina George! hehe!).

AWTR – I loved the book, didn’t like the movie so much when I first watched it. Like you, I cried buckets in the book (and still do when I re-read some parts), and the book is just way more spiritual than the movie. Jamie in the movie seemed a bit sarcastic, and it kind of turned me off. However when I watched AWTR again just recently, I found myself shedding some tears. Huh.

TVS – I agree with the movie and book! It’s not exactly a book I’d gush over, but it’s good, and it made me think and the writing is very, very unique. The movie was almost accurate. :D

And because of all that rave about TTW, I will definitely watch it. The trailer had me teary-eyed! I don’t know if it’s just the background music (Broken by Lifehouse!), but I think it will definitely make me appreciate the book more. The book was just so-so to me.

Oh another book-movie that looked absolutely different: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist! The book made my head ache with all the cuss words. The movie, however, was charming. :)

I’m not a masochist! :P

And TTW is one of the greatest love story ever because my greatest love story is Pride and Prejudice hihi I’m looking for Mr. Darcy, have you seen him? LOL what a dork.

I still feel sorry for Claire :( I wish Henry moved forward more often.

I agree with almost everything in this post! AWTR novel is so much better than the film (which reminds me i just bought a new copy this week because your “old friend” never returned my old copy!!!); PS I Love You book sucked! TTTW movie is better than the book; and the TVS movie adaptation is almost accurate.

I’m still waiting for Henry to appear… I miss him. Sigh. haha!
