So, for those who haven't seen it and want to, wait until it comes out for rental.

Isn't that "camison" in Spanish?
Anyway, Guada, I read the book, but I'm curious to see the make up and costumes, as I was reading the book, I couldn't imagine, with all the detailed descriptiong the author gave, what the whole thing would look like.



yeah watch it, but when you do, come back and tell me that you agree that in your imagination while reading the book, everything was more vivid than in the movie.
The movie is not bad, that's not what i'm saying.

You know, Santa's gone back to the north pole to curl up in the arms of Mrs. Klaus. Who's the next choice?


As for the topic, I loooooooved the book, and was gonna go see the movie, but hubby read awful reviews and we decided to skip it. (I do have it now, mind you, thanks to a very convenient chinese mall north of the city... ) but I haven't watched it yet. I know I'll be disappointed, though.

@Luna: The answer is: Yoroido on the Sea of Japan


Question:

What 'element' did she have too much of? And what did it symbolize?



@ LB: Books are the greatest things ever in life! 

I loooove reading.  Nothing beats curling up with a wicked book.

For example: that little guitar they played, do you know what's called?

the book will tell you.

LOL! I know a few people that ended up paying to take a nap that night at the theatre.

It really is too bad, b/c the book really was amazing.
