Update On Coming Update/Eragon Part One

I know, I know. I haven't been updating enough for all you fans, which is probably keeping my hits low.

Okay, I promise to update tonight, hopefully with pictures. The post will contain two parts, one of which is a review about the movie, Eragon, which I'm going to watch tonight (expect bad comments, more on this later). And the other part, will be all the stuff (mainly clothes I which were bought in KL). Hopefully there will be pictures in that post. And if I'm feeling good tonight, maybe I'll update on what I did in KL too.

Wow. Seems like I've made a lot of promises (there should be a word to say this, "overpromise", maybe?).

Wow. Looks like I've possibly overpromised my fans. Don't worry, it's the holidays so even if I do overpromise, none of you can kill me mainly because I'm grounded.

That did not make any sense.

But I kinda like the word I invented. Overpromise. Maybe after this, there'll be a TV series named after it, then a movie, and a few novels.

Okay, cut the crap. Here's the second part to this post.

Eragon

I don't think I'll like the Eragon movie. And a lot of other people who have read the book agree with this. Here's the very unpromising trailer.

Oh great, now YouTube won't load any Eragon trailers that I click

Ah, that's better (but still not as good as the book).



Okay, first of all (and most important), I'd like to say that in the book, Eragon (the blonde dude) has black hair and is supposed to be tan. Now, why the hell is he not any of those?

And, Brom (the guy narrating the trailer) is a cool-looking bastard when he's supposed to be an old man with white hair and a beard (which also is white). And, and, and, the scar-thingy on Eragon's palm is supposed to be SHINY! To be more specific, in the book, some of the dwarves called him Argetlam, meaning Silver Palm, or something like that. It's supposed to look silver, dammit. Not like a scar.

Murtagh (who I think is the cool emo-ish black-haired dude) should be looking like what Brom (see above) looks like in the movie.

And see all those evil people in red armour in the trailer? Well, they're supposed to be Urgals, big orc/ogre-ish creatures with horns. But noooo, they're people instead. Oh, and did you see the elf? What do you mean, there's no elf? She was right there. That's right. That 'elf' (which by the way has no elvish features like pointed ears, which they clearly stated in the book) has no pointed ears, which they clearly stated in the book (yes, I know I repeated that). She's also, by the way, supposed to have black, straight hair. Not hair that looks like brown Maggie Mee.

Oh, and the Shade, the red-haired bastard (no, they for once got hair colour right but there's something else wrong). He is supposed to have "TEETH THAT WERE FILED TO THE POINT". That's what Cristopher Paolini (who?) said anyway. Cristopher Paolini is the author dammit.

And lastly, Saphira (the dragon), has dragon wings, not bird wings. By bird wings, I mean that she (yes, Saphira is a she) has scales which look like feathers. Dragon wings (which Saphira had and were torn through in the book a couple of times) are bat-like. Yes, her wings got holes in the book, when arrows/swords went through them. But how the hell does she get wing wounds when her wings are all feather/scale-ey?

These among many others are things that were wrong. In the book they were totally different. Go search Eragon trailer in YouTube and see the comments. At least 80% of them are bad comments.

"I'm the Rider and I say we go."
Tch. How rude.

Full review coming tonight.
