Let's talk (or sob): TFIOS

Okay? Okay. 

So when I got this book I didn't read it for a couple of weeks. Then one night I decided to start reading it at about 11 something right before I was going to bed. Or so I thought. I was up until 4 finishing the book. While I didn't cry, (I know I should have! Don't hate me!) I was very upset and emotional about the whole ending of the book. Why John Green? WHY?! So... I still liked it... A LOT. "I fell in love the way you fall asleep. Slowly, and then all at once." That quote pretty much sums up my feelings about the book. 
I was very excited about the movie and most of the cast and I thought it would be made very well. Then, the poster came out. I don't want to mention the dreaded poster but I must. I liked the poster and thought it was simple but nice and then it happened. I don't know if it was anger or pain or what but something overcame me.

"One sick love story."

I was speechless. I literally had no idea what to say. Did the people think this was a joke?! This story is about sadness, death, disease, and everything that comes along with it. The tagline was their chance to express this but instead, they made it a joke. It was twisted and very upsetting. IT WAS NOT OKAY. So after my anger had subsided, I began to think about the movie. If the movie company came up with a tagline like this, how was the movie going to be?! I was starting to lose hope.

Until today.

The trailer was released and I was going to hold out and not watch it but let's face it. The second I turned my laptop on, I watched it. It wasn't the best trailer ever but it was still amazing. I loved hearing some of the quotes and seeing some of my favorite scenes. The trailer highlighted the happiness that is found between Gus and Hazel but also gave a feeling of overall sorrow. Honestly, I liked this. It restored my faith in the movie being a very good movie. In fact, I was okay with the whole TFIOS situation until Hazel Grace Lancaster said it. She said the one little word that can bring hundreds thousands of people to tears. "Okay." I had a slight fanboy attack and at that point was almost crying. I held it in though, because I knew once it started it wouldn't stop. So, as a summary, love the book, hate the tagline, really like the trailer. So let me hear your thoughts on TFIOS. What are other people thinking? I know that June seems very far away now and I both dread and can't wait for the 6th. Okay.

If you haven't seen the trailer, you can find it here:

Oh and lastly, I made this when the trailer was finished. This is pretty much what happened:

Let's just agree: It's not called Great Britain for nothing!

Ok. Can we all admit that everything is better when it's British? I mean c'mon! They start so many fandoms and Harry Potter is just a universe of itself, and then there's TV! They have some of the most popular shows! Sherlock, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, just to name a few. Also, the actors and actresses are always amazing! Lastly, have you tried their food? It's really good. Even their Starbucks drinks are better. So, yeah I guess this post doesn't have much meaning, I just want to prove that the feeling is mutual. British things are awesome and many peoples (especially fanboys and fangirls) favorites.

Hello fellow Fanboys and Fangirls!

Hey people! Thanks for checking out my fanboy blog! Before you do anything... Read the junk beneath my blog title! Did you read it? Good. Ok! Now this is a place where fandoms can run free! In fact, I encourage all discussions about all fandoms. As you can see by the title of the blog, much of this blog will be my problems with fandoms. Whether it's because I didn't like a cliffhanger or because I can't wait for the next episode or I don't even know what to think about a certain character, it will be here! Feel free to express your opinion, contradict me or whatever! Just keep it appropriate please! My blog is supposed to be a fun and happy place. I will tag posts with the appropriate fandoms so if you are just a Hunger Games fan you can click on it and just look at Hunger Games things! YAY!!! Yes, I am a fanboy. I consider myself most invested as a Potterhead, Demigod, Initiate, Tribute, and Sherlockian! Don't criticize people's fandoms! It's not cool! We can all get along! And don't (I know I said it already) be mean to other people or tear them down. Alright, now let out your inner geeky fan self and let's talk fandoms!!!
