Re-MASSACRE.

You know what I hate?
REMAKES OF MOVIES. Or movies into books that aren't Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.
Like Let The Right One In. Originally, it was a Swedish book entitled Låt den rätte komma in by author John Ajvide Lindqvist. Now, the book is fantastic. It's creepy and dark, but still has a romantic feel to it. I did something I usually never do with books, I watched the movie first. I loved the movie, I thought it was fantastic too. But it was Swedish, so I couldn't find it anywhere. Then imagine my surprise when I heard that Hollywood planned on remaking my favourite Swedish vampire movie and calling it Let Me In. I was unimpressed. But because of the Hollywood remake, it made it so that the original Swedish version was available in stores. So, I found it in HMV. The guy at the teller struck up a conversaton about the movie and how great it was, and then when he asked me if I'd read the book yet, I had to hang my head in shame and admit that I couldn't find it anywhere. But then, like a beacon of light, he directed me to the book section where I found the book I'd been searching for. I was ecstatic. Then I went to the cash again, but this time I got some chick who tried to talk to me about how much she loved Twilight. I was severly unimpressed. Anyway, so I read the book.

And then I got angry.

Even the Swedish, original version of the movie excludes an entire section of the book. And I'm not talking a couple of pages. I'm talking the entire last half of the novel. In the movie, the man who assists the vampire is killed after he is captured. In the novel, he is turned into a vampire and then terrorizes the country. How could you take that out? The book, as always was so much better, and I am ashamed of myself for liking the movie so much without reading the book. And I refuse to watch the Hollywood version. Even though they said they stayed true to the original movie. Staying true to the original movie doesn't matter if the movie was a lie.

I'm aware that I've blogged a lot recently, but that's because I'm procrastinating in every single one of my four classes. So deal with it.
