Hey everyone! Jamie here and this is my first blog! Just wanted to say hiii!! I'm going to be making (almost) daily vlogs on YOUTUBE soon but I also wanted to make a blog here to talk about some different stuff and also because I think more people need to read.
Its so easy to just watch TV (like I do constantly so I'm guilty of it as well!) or listen to the radio, or watch movies or be on YouTube constantly like I am! Reading is deffinitely dying out and I think it's so sad because I feel that it's so important. I have been reading since as far back as I can remember. I had an entire container of Bearenstein Bear books that I would dump out on my floor and read through all of them over and over again. Reading is so fun for me. The only problem I really have with reading lately is this new obsession Hollywood has with turning great books into terrible movies!
This is kind of a touchy subject for me because out of all of my friends I deffinitely read the most and I always have. So this means that when we go to the movies together and see movies that were originally books, I get annoyed. My friends always end up loving the movie and I hate it because they changed everything! It really dissapoints me now. Why is it necessary for Hollywood to completely change things about these great books? Why do they feel the need to kill off the wrong character? Or change a characters name and occupation? These authors wrote these fantastic works of literature and Hollywood just changes everything into crap that everyone who doesnt read just eats right up.
On the one hand they make these great movies that probably make the movie companies a lot of money so, yes, in that respect that is great for them. But I get so dissapointed when I go in expecting to see a favorite book brought to life on the big screen and I leave feeling let down because they changed all these great things I loved reading about.
Another thing that makes me a little upset is when I read a book I get lost in this other world of characters and stories and their lives and I create how all these things look in my head. It's a little dissapointing when I see someone elses view of these characters on the screen. I know that sounds a little selfish of me especially since I am not the one who makes these movies and therefore they couldnt possibly know how I think these characters should look or sound or act. I just wish that maybe everyone could be on the same page about a book and it would look like it does in my head and all would be peachy keen!
Oh well...maybe in another life that would actually happen :)
