I loved the book, but the movie..............I'm going to see it anyway when it comes out, but it looks like they changed a lot. I still wonder how it is going to turn out..........

There's a movie? The book was my favorite cinderella story of all of the versions.

Oh dear god.
I loved that book...I still get sort of mad when I think about them making a movie of it.

Maybe it won't be that bad. Funky green-teethed elves and people with really tiny feet? Foreign languages and giants? That's sort of the kind of thing that's more exciting to see on screen anyway.

But, I always pictured Ella as kinda short........a bit tanned.......not so long hair, shoulder-lenght...
I like Anne Hathaway, but............she just doesn't look to me like Ella.............

Man, I loved Ella Enchanted. I had no idea they were making a movie. Stoopid me. I'll probably see it. It's just a cinderella interpretation so I won't be as upset if they ruin it as I would if they were to ruin, oh, say ASOUE...

Anna Hathaway? But she's way too old.

My point exactly. Hathaway looks.......17 and Ella should look..........14. Or perhaps 15. And Hathway is way too fair-skinned. Ella should have more freckles........because a bit more tanned........you know what I mean?

Ok just so my post makes some sense beyond it's insanity Cary Elwes is playing an evil guy they made for the movie. If you don't know who Cary Elwes is, then you poor dears.
Excuse me while I rant and cry for a second, here I go:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Cary Elwes, my dear sweet Wesley, my beautiful percious Cary, lovley, pretty, precious, man cannot, *cannot* play the evil guy. Yet he does!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, why why why? Sures he's older but he doesn't look like it, he'd make a good Prince Charmont if they turned his hair blond again. I mean they had to already completley change the book to fit in this evil character, then they have to make Cary Elwes play it. He's never been a bad guy and he's not supposed to be, he was robin Hood for goodness sakes!
Anyone who's seen the Princess Bride or that other one, Men in Tights, have to be in agreement here. I mean how many guys would become the Dread Pirate Roberts, fight huge rats, drink posion, then die and come back to life just for you?
Anne Hathaway is alright I guess. I'm probably not going to see this movie anyway, I know I liked the book better. And I can't watch Cary be evil.

Dave at Night. Am I supposed to find that title funny? because I think it's hilarious but I can't figure out why.
I haven't read any of those. And I have Cary in my avatar now. He was on my mind and I knew I had an icon of him so I got it out. *melts into obsessive puddle*

I didn't know they were making a movie. I read the book a long time ago. It was really good.
