water for elephants.

so, i know i'm behind in the times but i recently read water for elephants, and let me tell ya! i loved, loved, loved that book. i finished it in a day and a half and i was so excited that they turned it into a movie(and with the handsome robert pattinson to boot!). now, let me also tell you how much i hate going to movie theaters... i absolutely hate it. they are expensive, crowded(on the weekends) and their snack selections and prices are crazy. i'd much rather go to the drive- in. for one, it's always a double feature. two, they have so many snack choices. their nachos are gigantic and have the best processed cheese sauce ever. three, you can sit comfortably in your car and not have some loser on their phone a row in front of you texting, talking and being inconsiderate. it's just a good time. i highly recommend trying the drive-in at least once in your adult life. i will also buy movies at wal-mart or target, but only if it's a movie that i really want to own. i just don't have the patience for sitting through a two a hour movie when i have laundry, cooking, cleaning, running after a four a year old and other responsibilities to tend to, and not only that but daylee most likely will not enjoy sitting and watching a movie with me nor will he allow me to do so either.
tonight was one of those rare moments that i actually wanted to go see a movie, in the theater no less, and i wanted to see if there was any chance that water for elephants the movie held a candle to it's counterpart, and let me tell you: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! ya heard me right. it strays from the book from the get go and in all honesty i couldn't take it, so 45 minutes into the movie i got up and left. yep. i have much better things to do with my time than waste it on a such a stupid movie.
have any of you read the book or seen the movie?
well, i hope that if you haven't read the book that you do. it is fantastic, but save your 8.00 for something worth while.
