Emily in My Sister's Keeper

Im looking forward to this movie..although i dont trust book to movie adaptations, as im yet to really find one i like (maybe a few exceptions...)

I liked "A walk to remember" over the book. I'm on the fence with "Bridge to Terabithia" I liked both a lot. I heard they changed the ending for this one though.

Really? They changed the ending for "My Sister's Keeper"? Do we know that as a fact? 'Cuz I don't see how it will really work, the ending is the whole point! And that doesn't give anything away, RGP!

yes, please don't give it away. But I don't know it for a fact, that popped up in conversation yesterday when my friend and I were at the movies and saw the preview for it. But maybe I can look into it?? I don't know.

Right now, in the book, I'm at the part where Anna was born. It's good, but a slow read. Usually I crank out books faster than this. Maybe I'll read out by the pool today.

CHange the ending?? that would just be weird...wouldn't even be the same movie...

Well don't tell me how it ends, but I was saying what I heard. It might not be true. I'll sleuth around and see what I can find.

Well, as I drove past the theatre marquis this morning I saw that this movie was playing this weekend. Did anybody go see it? How was it?? No spoilers, just ... how was it?

It was okay, definitely not what I was expecting. Emily's part was very small, but she definitely fit the part well. They changed a few things storyline and time wise, and yes...they changed the ending. But I won't say how or anything like that, because I don't want to spoil anyone.

Thanks, Gardenia. I don't know anything of the story so I won't have to deal with any changes from the book. I hope it's good. I'm taking off a little early tomorrow to go hit the late matiness with my sister. I'll post back with the knowing-nothing-going-in perspective. I'm not sure that'll do anybody on here any good, most everyone here is a big reader!

I went to see this this afternoon. I thought it was very good! I didn't have to deal with having read the book first. I did notice while the opening credits were rolling that Caleb Deschanel was the Director of Photography, and I thought that was very well done. The music was especially wonderful.

It was a tear jerker though, so be sure and bring tissues with you!

And one more thing, Jason Patric was especially wonderful in this movie. I don't recall ever seeing him in anything before, but my sister and I were whispering about him a few times. I just went and googled him and didn't see anything especially wonderful in the pics, but in the movie - very, very nice! Maybe it was the part he played, but OMG!

DBC, i suggest you read the book, at least for the ending.... They took out a LOT of the book in the movie, and definitely changed the ending.

The guy who played Taylor Ambrose, is sexxxy with his hair. lol, and he's a vegan, I'm sure he had lots to talk about with Emily and Sofia Vassilieva is a vegetarian.

Ella, I don't know if I was judging by what I'd heard here or not, but I did think that part of the ending was a little weak, but the rest of it was lovely. I wish I could say that I'll go get the book to read, but I'm not a big reader. Before FF I would probably only manage a book ever year or two.

I've tried to tell myself that I will start doing more, but who knows if I'll carry through. When I saw the previews of "A Time Traveler's Wife" though I did think to myself that I should try and get it to read before it comes out! Who knows, I may become a reader after all - in all my spare time!

I'll have to go google this Taylor Ambrose now, just to see, but I have to say that he wasn't bad bald either!

I don't read much either and if you look back at my past responses, i mentioned that it took me a long time to read the book, it's a big book, but it's really worth it, i promise. I have to say I found parts of it to drag on, but then the ending came and I was completely shocked. Not what I saw coming at all. Nothing like the movie.

I read that book a long time ago, It looked interesting so i may reread it, if I think to go to the bookstore one day.

And Google the actor, his name is Thomas Dekker. He's kind of got that Robert Pattinson look, but much hotter and definitely a better actor. But I hate Robert Pattinson and I despise Twilight, so i may be a bit bias.

sheetfact! sheetfact! i know, i think i'm going to see this because of ultimate clash of my fandoms! Alec, TD (in House vs. God, okey? I didn't watch Terminator) and ED! Gad, I need a life..i keep on pimping my faves!

Emily is in it for like 5 minutes, not even that... like less than 2 minutes. But she plays the doctor part so well.... I wonder where that came from....

::sits like the "thinker":: Hmmmmmmmmmm?
