Fan Art Friday

showcasing

I found a lot of art, so this post a tad longer. I also included some fan art of the movie.

I LOVE the one of Neil Gaiman reading the book, and the pictures are popping out.

Which is your favorite?

My Thoughts:

-    Yes, I'm sure I like the movie better than the book. As weird as that is, I do!

-    The cast list is awesome! I even caught a few more famous actors this time around! Such a great line up!

-    I like the ending up until the witch starts crying. That was kinda lame. Other than that, I like the movie ending better than the book ending. The movie was more exciting.

-    I think the side characters took the spot light away from the two main characters. They were fine, but the other characters really made this movie.

-    Michelle Pfeiffer was brilliant! She almost stole the show.

-    Robert De Niro was hilarious! This was such a different/ weird role for him, and he pulled it off with Pizzazz!

-    The movie was really humorous. I was laughing a lot!

-    There is a lot going for this film: humor, action, flying pirate ship, witches, etc. It was very enjoyable.

Tyson's Thoughts:

-    I wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to win.

-    I like the ghost entourage!

-    I liked the dresses! They were nice!

-    I want a flying pirate ship now.

Goodreads Bit:    Hopelessly crossed in love, a boy of half-fairy parentage leaves his mundane Victorian-English village on a quest for a fallen star in the magical realm. The star proves to be an attractive woman with a hot temper, who plunges with our hero into adventures featuring witches, the lion and the unicorn, plotting elf-lords, ships that sail the sky, magical transformations, curses whose effects rebound, binding conditions with hidden loopholes and all the rest.







My Thoughts:

-    I never say this, but I think I might actually enjoy the movie more than I did the book.

-    This was pretty dry, and there wasn't a lot of emotion.

-    There was a pretty descriptive sex scene at the beginning. 

-    There was also an f-bomb.

-    The whole book felt like someone was telling me a story. It was like someone talking at you and not with you. I like to "feel" something and go on the journey with the characters. 

-    I liked some of the characters, but I just didn't connect to any of them.

-    It was a fun story, but I wanted a little more out of it.
