i do not want to see the perks of being a wallflower movie at all

1. book adaptations fsadfsdf and some of the actors they’ve chosen are definitely going to mess with what i imagined to myself just by sheer virtue of who they are

2. i always felt like the music part of the book was like…something you discover for yourself after reading it. an then you read it again and it is different.

3. i am skeptical any time someone tries to make a major movie with something about sexual abuse in it. it is very likely that the film will lack any subtlety at all, which was 90% of the shock/impact in the book.

4. i don’t know, when it was a book i could kind of maybe imagine myself as the some of the people in it. seeing all of these white kids doing things i’d never do is just going to make it even more clear that it was never really about me, as much as i wanted it to be

    I was only able to read parts of the book. I couldn’t sit down and read it all in one go. I don’t want to see the movie.
