Follow Friday


Q. ACK! Your favorite book/movie character (example Hermione Granger played by the Emma chick) just walked into the room! Who is it and what would be your first reaction? You get extra points if you include visual stimulation.

As usual, I'm probably overcomplicating FF, but all of the characters I feel most passionately about right now haven't moved onto the big screen... yet! And maybe that's a good thing so that they can live on in my mind exactly how I picture them. Because let's face it, Hollywood has a way of failing to deliver the goods sometimes.

Now, for my real answer. I'm going to stretch a little and say that I'd love to meet Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games (soon to be played by Jennifer Lawrence). Although I'm not sure that Lawrence is an exact match to the amazing Katniss I've created in my mind and although I'm not sure she'll be able to convey Katniss's depth or toughness, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. My first reaction? To give the girl a hug because let's face it, if anyone needs one, she does!

  1. I can so relate to Hollywood failing with books. My idea of what they look like is always better than what they decide on.

    Speaking of those that they didn't get quite right. Here's mine: http://www.stuckinbooks.com/2011/06/follow-friday-3.html
