I loved the book version of LTROI...Thanks Justin! <br />I loved the book version of LTROI as well - it really translated well to film. <br />And yes - The Brodys are such a great couple - that scene you mentioned is one of my favorites as well - so funny!!<br />Thanks so much for reading!!Christine Haddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932508146588027867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237781251652279105.post-89744552074054200922015-10-10T22:26:35.955-04:002015-10-10T22:26:35.955-04:00Cool list!

I love the scene in Let The Right One In where Eli is trying to subtly say that she's not human by saying she's not a girl and Oskar, with little reason to jump to the vampire conclusion, probably thought she was saying that she was a boy and he still just didn't care. In the book, the reveal of Eli being a castrated boy prior to her vampire transformation is followed by an actual change in what pronouns are used for him/her. Not quite sure how I feel about that but it was a very interesting choice.<br /><br />I just finished watching Jaws again and I really loved the two of them together. Especially the part where Martin is trying to get his kids out of a boat tied to the dock and Ellen thinks he's overreacting before she sees the picture of a shark crashing through the side of a boat and flips out herself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278775805811837956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237781251652279105.post-8388874587688069172015-10-10T13:43:09.749-04:002015-10-10T13:43:09.749-04:00Shellhawk: Thanks for stopping by!

That was an ill-placed and pointless affair in the book and would have partially ruined the film by putting unnecessary emphasis on their indiscretion instead of on the shark - which is what we all came for, right? <br />The film is far superior to the book, IMHO. :)Christine Haddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16932508146588027867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237781251652279105.post-12667092126007736032015-10-10T12:53:31.392-04:002015-10-10T12:53:31.392-04:00I'm really glad the movie JAWS didn't foll...I'm really glad the movie JAWS didn't follow the book when portraying Martin and Ellen. In the book Ellen was having an affair with Hooper, which just felt really off.
