Well I LOVED it. Whatever the book was lacking, and I felt like it was lacking... something.. I could never put my finger on what, exactly the film made up for in spades. Normally a purist and the one who sits, Esme Weathwax-like with my arms folded going "why did they change that?" - the changes were all utterly brilliant. The performances completely made it, the Brothers were stellar, and hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing all the way through Robert di Niro's performance and Tristan matured nicely. The only thing I would have liked to have stayed the same was the fact that the fair came to Wall and the humans in Wall knew about it and walked across.
I'm now officially in lust with Mark Strong. A sexy villian (he'd be a fabulous Snape) who can ride a horse? I'm there. That'll be me there, on the floor. Waiting to be rescued. Or Trampled. I don't mind which.
The floods in my area were less than expected, thank Gawd but no sign of Lucius.
