Gareth David-Lloyd and Burn Gorman are both in films that are coming out next year

They’re both main characters

They’re both brilliant storylines with brilliant roles for these brilliant actors

And they’re both horror films.

THIS WEEKEND

Except of course Totoro. Because that’s the Disney dub above, and the Disney dub displeases me. Streamline Fox dub all the way.

*digs through 20 year old VHS collection*

I had somehow NEVER heard of/seen Whisper of the Heart until tonight and OH MY GOD  that movie gets me. I’m using capslock for a reason. You should go watch it. Right now.

Woot. Have my ticket for the hobbit double feature on the 12th. Who needs sleep?

So, I picked up the Entertainment Weekly Fall Movie Preview that’s out this week, because I love movies. (Still weird to see a mainstream publication talking about Doctor Who, but I digress).

Among the films coming out later this year, I’m looking forward to Ender’s Game. It’s probably my single favorite book (even if Orson Scott Card is a douchebag) and one that I’ve been hoping to see even though it’s been caught in development hell forever.

But then there was this quote, from the director:

“In the book the battle room is a big black box, but I decided it would be more visually exciting to make it a huge glass orb so you could be looking down at earth and up at stars”

OMG NO

If you’ve read the book at all, you’ll know the Battle Room is a huge part of the story, and part of what makes it important is that it is supposed to be disorienting.  That’s why “The enemy gate is down" is such a key moment. If you make the battle room clear, then you immediately give the players a frame of reference and that utterly defeats the purpose!

This is probably just a bit of nerd rage, but seriously  this is nearly enough to make me not want to see it after all. I know there will be changes in any adaption, but this just might be too much.
