PUT DOWN MY CHILDHOOD AND BACK AWAY SLOWLY
EDIT: And speaking of trendhopping dumbfuckery, Eragon: The Movie has just been released in my country. Normally, I would not give anything even approaching a flying frag, as the sight of the books stacked in bestselling piles outside bookshops fills me with the thunderbolt-hurling rage of a god.
The problem is, I'm tempted to see the movie.
I want to see an airborne battle between dragons on film. I want to see how well the actor who plays Murtagh does him, as the only character in the book I could tolerate. I want to see Alya get poisoned - well, I would have wanted that regardless - and part of me is already tallying up the number of people I know whom I could extort a ticket out of.
SOMEBODY STOP ME. I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO THIS FRANCHISE. I WILL NOT BE SWAYED BY PRETTY CGI, DAMMIT, EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE FILTHY FILTHY PROSE.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE. PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
