Are you serious? Vivian kills Gabe because of Aiden? I really think it's time we as a culture moved on from this Romeo and Juliet bullshit. Though, I'm not surprised the movie went the way it did. I think there's a law somewhere that says no teenage girl in a movie can accept her difference and actually be proud of not being normal, especially when that difference is a metaphor for aggressive sexuality.
I'm not even going to rent this movie. I'm going to try to forget it exists for my own sanity.
I hate the way Vivian rejected everything she was to run away with him, including the deaths of several of her pack along the way. It's completely not what the book was about.
I'm not even going to rent this movie. I'm going to try to forget it exists for my own sanity. I totally agree. I'm going to try my best to purge it from my memory.
That's what I kept chanting. Because as I remember it, Vivian takes a bullet for Gabriel.
But Vivan points the gun, Aidan tells her to shoot, she sheds a single tear, Gabriel tries to escape/lunge at Aidan (who's killed Gabe's son and several pack members) and Vivan shoots.
It was total bullshit. Save yourself and don't see it.
I was tempted to go see it so that I could bitch about how much they screwed the book up (because it was inevitable), but I'm the only one of my friends who has read it. So I would be bitching to myself and most likely on my LJ.
But you said pretty much everything I would say, so I'll save my money and cheat them out a ticket.
Still, the movie industry today makes me incredibly sad almost as much as politics. I can't believe Annette Curtis Klause gave them the rights to make a movie- or do author's lose the rights when the book is published? I've always wondered that after such fiascos as Eragon and now this.
The writer still retains rights to the book, but she made the decision to sell the rights for a movie. However, according to an article I found through Wikipedia, Klause wasn't given any say over the movie.
I feel really bad for her. It must be terrible to see your work butchered like this.
(Also, I love your icon! That's one of my favorite movies.)

Did they not read the book at all? Why the fuck did they even bother to buy the rights and call it Blood and Chocolate?!!!
