I have a feeling Gong Yoo will never be toppled in my heart). Luckily I hadn't read the series recently before watching the film so I imagined that is part of the reason the film overall didn't bother me, and I quite liked the visuals. But I was surprised by some of the actors who I would have expected more from (I'm looking at YOU Jonathan Rhys Meyers), although I'm willing to blame the director (and honestly the script had some REALLY awkward writing at times, so again not the actors' faults)<br /><br />It'd take too much space to talk about TMI here, but I'll shoot you a Goodreads message when I get the chance!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447309206722184251.post-12680546622661018272013-09-04T13:32:22.998-04:002013-09-04T13:32:22.998-04:00Where to begin -- so many thoughts on YOUR though...Where to begin -- so many thoughts on YOUR thoughts!<br /><br />Pantalaimon = yes. When it's a choice between a giant bear and an adorable cat, everyone wins.<br /><br />Magnus Bane: yes, he is lovely. But he was gawd awful in that movie! >_< Lots of anger about what they did to it. Haha and I really enjoyed the image of your boyfriend going from clean-shaven to hobo in .2 seconds. Insta-beard!<br /><br />Also, at some point I would love to hear more of your thoughts about the Mortal Instruments series and why you broke up with them after the first 3. I have mixed feelings about the 4th and 5th but have always had a hard time putting my finger on WHY... so please elaborate!madbutmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821790237625281730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447309206722184251.post-26675743249969898222013-09-04T13:27:31.789-04:002013-09-04T13:27:31.789-04:00Thanks!

I had fun going through my bookshelves to come up with them. :) <br /><br />By the way, I just discovered your blog and I'm in love with it!madbutmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821790237625281730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447309206722184251.post-74077498240361572212013-08-29T01:55:30.356-04:002013-08-29T01:55:30.356-04:00As always I agree completely with your list!
(Exce...As always I agree completely with your list!<br />(Except for the books I haven't read yet. Sorry Paul, I've not read yours. And surprisingly I STILL haven't read Ender's Game yet)<br />(P.p.s. And also except Renesmee. She creeped me the f*@$ out)<br /><br />So with no further ado, cue another Elizabeth fangirl moment:<br /><br />IOREK!! Oh Iorek you wonderful, beautiful bear. I feel a bit guilty by forgetting you and picking Pantalaimon for my list (although his place on my list is also completely deserved)<br /><br />I won't even go into secondary HP characters, there'd be no room haha. But I LOVED both of those characters!!<br /><br />Magnus Bane. Ohhhhhh my god. I saw City of Bones yesterday as I have no a/c in my apartment and it was in the mid 90s. I WAS going to see World's End, but I'd been chatting to another blogger about Magnus Bane and looked up a picture of the actor...<br /><br />...HOLY MOTHER OF GOD I WANT HIM. Luckily for me, my boyfriend is a close resemblance, if only he could grow a god damn sexy five o'clock shadow. Sadly he skips that part and goes straight to hobo. It is my greatest wish that he would learn how to grow one sometime soon.<br /><br />In any case, I got sidetracked. I had a fairly major breakup with the series once it wasn't a trilogy anymore (for reasons I won't go into at the moment. Not that I loved the series to begin with, but now I sort of loathe them), but I've always loved Magnus. Jace might have witty dialogue, but Magnus has that and everything else too!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447309206722184251.post-36016936599748209652013-08-27T13:27:44.611-04:002013-08-27T13:27:44.611-04:00Wow, I can't believe I forgot so many characte...Wow, I can't believe I forgot so many characters!
