The movie is based on the books:
A series of unfortunate events is basically about three siblings that lose their parents in a mysterious fire and then they're sent to their 'long lost relative' the evil Count Olaf. Personally, i love the books and the author has a really good style of writing them. He sometimes uses first person and he relates a scene to his 'life'. It's funny and sad and its really good . There are 12 books so far and each book is short. Read the books first before watching the movie. And no, this isn't harry potter. Some people think that these books are harry potter. ............ Well that's it. |

Whach You Lookin at?!

Hey tomo! umm I know about the series, although I've only read like the first 4 books. People should read more. Anyways, the books are good and I also love the way Lemony Snicket(the author) writes, even though sometimes he makes me feel stupid by defining all the big words, but I got to remember that little kids read this too.
Conserning the movie...well I just hope they're loyal to the books, but in the trailer you can already see the infidelity. Oh and the Harry Potter books rock and no one can tell me otherwise. You probably think it's sucks, anime public, but you should read it then judge it. I detest people who criticize something they haven't even looked into. |

What I really love about the books is the writers commentary!! It's so hilarious! The books would be just a good story without his little insert notes. I saw a preview for the movie and it seems to carry a lot of stylistic approaches from the book, now if they could somehow put the author in it too, I would be thrilled!..yeah, thats right, I get excited about things like that! So Ill most likely go see it with my brother when I go back home for Christmas. |

I really should read more in general but it seems as I have aged I’ve gotten lazy, when I was a kid I would read anything I could get my hands on. *Shrugs*

Dare do I bump this thread?
I don't think it matters, but I'd like to see an animated version of this series. I've read the books when I was younger and I enjoyed them at the time. Surely even if this was more for a younger reader base they could make it a little darker. Though I know not any American animators that would ever do such a thing. lol Sorry for bumping this. Just thought I'd give my own two cents. :P
