Hehe.

I was reading a recap on TWoP of the made-for-TV-movie-version of one of my favorite childhood books, A Wrinkle In Time, and I started laughing, and nearly couldn't stop. Gahhh. Hysteria is fun.

The bit that nearly sent me off the deep end:

"IT Guy walks toward her with...an evil volleyball, glowing with the power of conformism and darkness and mean brains and snake pillars and alikeness and un-subversion and...thinking inside the box and...I don't know. Communism."

Heh. Heheheh. Oh, man, I really hope I never watch that movie. Sounds godawful.

I haven't read A Wrinkle in Time yet! *cries*
...Was the Disney movie any good?

[stoopbeck.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, you really should! It's excellent. That whole series is excellent.

...Apparently the Disney movie sucked with the power of a thousand vacuums. Madeline L'Engle has publicly stated that it was dreadful. The person recapping it thought it was wretched.

I couldn't watch it at all. I have this thing about movies from books, and it made me unhappy. Of course, it does have some good actors in it, so maybe one day I'll watch it just for that. *shrug*

Trust me, I've seen the movie--it sucks more than a Hoover vaccuum...

Yeah. I hear it doesn't have any redeeming value whatsoever. Ah, well. At least the book was good.

If anything else the book is its redeeming quality (if such a thing can even be said)...
