    I was just minding my own business watching youtube videos when an ad for a tv show comes on. The longer it goes on I'm intrigued I watch the entire thing without pressing 'skip'. And then the title screen comes up and it says 'Looking for Alaska'. I was shook. It was such a pleasant surprise. I didn't want to get my hopes up after Paper Towns but now I HAVE to watch it.

    The Legend trilogy used to be my absolute favourite series when I read it years ago, and it still holds such a special place in my heart. I'd love to read Rebel, but I remember almost nothing about what happened during or at the end of book three (I have a useless memory, haha) .. Does it have a sort of recap of what happened in the last three books within Rebel? or would it be worth re-reading Champion? As always, great video Christine!.. I'm adding lots of these films + books to my list!

    • @samantharuinor4737
      @samantharuinor4737 4 года назад +2

Frist 2 seasons are out and the 3rd season is hitting in January and it is flat out amazing. Has touched on so many important subjects. And is full of wonderful characters.

    Yesss I loved the adaptation of Looking for Alaska so much too and agree with everything you said!! I've watched it twice already 😂I'm so used to being disappointed by adaptations, but with this it was so clear how much the creators loved the material and wanted to do it justice. It somehow managed improved on an already beloved book. So, so, so happy with it! If more adaptations were this good, I would feel excitement instead of dread every time I heard a book I love was being turned into something 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Also Taika Waititi is working with Sterlin Harjo on a TV Show that's gonna be on FX titled Reservation Dogs, about a group of boys who live in a Native American housing project and I'm hyped for it

    I also loved Looking for Alaska!!! So much!!!!! But the only thing that bothered me all through the series was the way they portrayed Miles and Alaska's relationship as being more than it was. They kept trying to push romantic scenes on them and it felt really wrong. Alaska didn't have time to see Miles as something more than a friend. I always envisioned her as having a mind that goes a thousand miles an hour and she had her boyfriend and drinking and the colonel and her traumas and Miles was a really small part of that. It's something I adored about the books. It gives you the hard truth instead of a cookie cutter fairytale, and I think the series tried to Hollywoodise it a little bit. Other than that 100/10!

    Weird to see you watched The Lighthouse cuz the director is the one who did The VVitch haha. I still am yet to see The Lighthouse and I am not sure if it's not a horror movie cuz The VVitch traumatized me
