Hello all!
Micaiah @ Notebooks and Novels created this tag not too long ago. As she had left it open for other people to take, I decided to help myself.

Thank the person that tagged you and link back to the original creator (Micaiah @ Notebooks and Novels).
Answer all eight questions.
Tag at least two other bloggers.
And now, to the questions!
1. Books or movies, which are better?
Well, I like books better in general, but movies help me to remember the details (cause I see them). The book usually has a much better story though. Movies tend to scrap things in favor of time.

2. What book needs to be made into a movie RIGHT NOW?
This is a really hard question to answer.....
I've mentioned in a previous tag that I really wanted to see a movie adaptation of Kilmeny of the Orchard by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I still stand by that, and I also want to see Runner Up (Leah Banicki), Marcia Schuyler (Grace Livingston Hill), and Stars Collide (Janice Thompson) on the big screen too.
3. What movie adaption of a book has disappointed you the most?

Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story was loosely based on Rilla of Ingleside. Having read the book several times (it's one of my favorites), I was severally disappointed in how they changed the story. That book deserves much better.
4. What movie adaption of a book has made you throw confetti and walk away extremely happy?
I greatly enjoyed the 1982 movie adaptation of The Scarlet Pimpernel.

Even if it didn't follow the book exactly, this movie crew did the book justice. I greatly enjoyed how the actors/actresses played their respective characters.
And come on....I think we can all agree that we girls swoon when we hear these words:
"Sink me!"
5. What movie adaption of a book have you seen, but never read the book it's based on?
The Princess Bride.
I've never actually read that book, though I hear that it's really really good.

6. What book have you read, but never seen the movie adaption of?
Johnny Tremain.
After looking at the Wikipedia page, it looks like it remained true to the book (of course I can't judge that until after I watch it)

Johnny Tremain is still one of my favorite books, even though I read it in intermediate school. It would be really cool to see it up on the screen.
7. If your WIP was turned into a movie, who would play the main character(s)?
Oh brother! I have several WIPs, give me a second to figure this one out...
Since I've actually been working on "Rose of Culmore" again (for the first time since June...), I decided to go with that WIP (and because I don't want to repeat answers from Caoimhe or Seeds of an Orchard Invisible).
So my main characters are named John Callaghan and Rose O'Neill.
If Dean Butler was about 3 decades younger and had dark hair, he would be a good fit for the role of John Callaghan. At least judging from his role as Almanzo Wilder in the Little House on the Prairie TV series.
And, come to think of it, Scarlet Johansson is probably a good fit for Rose O'Neill, but I would prefer someone a little, um, softer and gentler. Just can't think of anyone!!!
*sigh* The difficulties of casting....
8. When the credits roll after the movie adaption of the WIP you discussed above, what song will be playing?
Well......considering that the end of the movie would be John Callaghan relating his story to a poet/songwriter, (and it's not like I didn't base the story off this song or anything)....the ideal song that would play in the credits would obviously be....
"The Maid of Culmore"

I decided to use this version instead of the Celtic Thunder version because this one is gentler, like a true reminiscence (or memory).
