I hope you are all staying well during this nasty cold/flu season. I was under the weather myself last month. Remember to take your vitamins. I am and I'm feeling much better!
I recently saw the movie Beastly. When I saw the previews, it didn't really strike my fancy, since "the Beast" was bald and tattooed. I caught a clip of it one day, and decided I wanted to see it. I enjoyed it. It stayed true to the original tale for the most part. One plus to watching the DVD was the alternative ending. I predicted the movie was going to end that way, if it were to follow the classic tale. I can't say I was crazy about the theatrical ending, since I felt that it left some loose ends. There were aspects to both endings that I liked. I do recommend this film for Beauty and the Beast fans; but make sure to watch the alternative ending, as well.
After seeing the movie, I decided to read the novel, which I'm about halfway through. In the book, he really is a beast. He's hairy with claws and fangs. One thing I loved about the movie that the book didn't have was the tree tattoo on his wrist, which changed with the seasons. So far in the book, he hasn't had much interaction with Beauty. The plot will thicken when she is brought back in to the story, which means I will read faster.
They say writers should always be reading, as well. It seems I'm always able to find inspiration from reading.
Have a Happy Valentine's Day!
