Memes From The Past Week
It's Follow Me Friday over at Parajunkee! The question this week is:
Q. Have you ever wanted a villain to win at the end of a story? If so, which one?
When I told my husband this question he was like, "TOM AND JERRY, OF COURSE!" He missed the part that this is about books... And this is a very tough question! There have been a few heroines that I felt were stupid enough to deserve being owned by the bad guy, but I won't name any names! I usually root for the good guy! I'm not too vindictive! The only way I'll root for the bad guy is if I feel there is a possibility or want for redemption.
TGIF at GReads!
This Friday's Question:
Which books would you love to see made in to a tv series? or movie?
I totally used the wrong question for the week. Sorry if anybody saw that. Oops!
Well, this is much easier to answer! Vampire Academy. Please. That should be a series. And the Hush, Hush series should be made into a film. And Wolves of Mercy Falls should be a film as well. And Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready should also! I could go on forever, I think. I like being able to have a visual version usually... though there's always a chance they'll mess it up.
CAST PICKS
My cast picks are actually just how I imagined the characters and they aren't very realistic. Considering a lot of them are Russian... D: But it was how I pictured the characters in the books.
Wolves of Mercy Falls: Grace, Sam, Isabel
Vampire Academy: Dimitri
Hush, Hush: Nora
P.s. I think I pictured Dimitri is Anton Makarskiy because I was watching a television show with him at the time I was reading the book. The video that I linked is one I uploaded with subtitles onto YT... Anton Makarskiy is a singer/actor. Somehow he is stuck in my head as Dima. Even though he's in his 30s and that's a little bit of an excessive age gap. -.-

Technically..."story" could apply to a movie.
ReplyDelete(Says the girl who picked "Mastermind"...LOL)
Happy FF!
LOL! I think you two are funny. But if Jerry won once that would make the show a whole new story. Just think if the Roadrunner was caught! Whew! We would of had to gone to some kind of shrink when we were little. Ha Ha!
ReplyDeleteI say yes but I'm lacking on who. Maybe someone needs to write this book!

Lol. tell him not to feel bad. My mind went to The joker from batman. I would have liked to see him in all his glory, but as for books I don't think I can pick one.
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally agree with VA as a series or movie, or anything that could be visualized.
You're right...it IS a tough question. I couldn't think of a villain.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

I picked Vampire Academy as well! I would love to see it visually but I don't know if any actor could meet my expectations of Dimitri. [:

my TGIF
@BJ True, true! :D Hope you have a wonderful Friday!
ReplyDelete@Black Disaster True! We'd most likely be traumatized from childhood! A world where the bad guy wins! No way! :O Thanks for stopping by! Have a beautiful Friday!
@Ashley Oooh! Yeah! Joker is pretty BA! :D VA would make an awesome movie series or television series. Or mini-series! Thanks for commenting! Have a great Friday! <3
@Amber Yes, it's a little too difficult of a question! Happy Friday! :)
@Let's Evaluate Yes, Dimitri is a hard guy to pick! I always have a difficult time picturing characters in books though. A lot of times I want the descriptions up front and then I'll set the book down and come up with my dream cast in my head! :D Thanks for commenting! Have a great Friday!
ReplyDeleteLol, well now I'm curious about who these heroines are. ;) Haha, I agree some are just way too stupid. I actually couldn't think of anyone I can call villain that I've rooted for in books, only movies. I have lots I love reading about (Voldemort, Valentine...), but not rooting for.
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome weekend and thanks for stopping by! :)

I couldn't come up with a villain for this week's FF. However, I did choose a couple books I would like to see made into movies. Happy Friday. Oh, and I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteNEW follower hopping through. Good answer. And who cares that T&J is not abt books ;-)
ReplyDeleteI picked an antihero. Awesome book worth checking out. My FF: Book that Thing!
Happy Friday!
I wasn't a big fan of the Wolves of Mercy Falls series, but I do think it could work as a movie! New follower here. Have a great weekend!

My FF
For me is not so much as me being against the hero, but more like I can't say no to the sexy bad boy! :D
ReplyDeleteI also would love for Vampire Academy to be made into a series! And Shade into a movie.

Ha! I love hubs answer!!! I can't think of a villain I wanted to win at the end... I'll have to think on that one dude!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a villain I really wanted to win! The villain's plans are generally so evil you can't go along with them!
ReplyDeleteMy Follow Friday!
Tom and Jerry is a great answer! LOL!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Vampire Academy! Haven't read the others but I've heard good things about Hush, Hush :D
ReplyDeleteI really like your casting pick for Isabel. The gleam in her eye seems just right.
ReplyDeleteI always think that Vampire Academy would be difficult to film, because of how many times the story depends on Rose being inside Lissa's mind and I don't know how they could show that on screen. But I'd definitely be interested in seeing them try.
