Jesus Christ, how often does this happen?

The author deserves to be honoured since they’re the ones who created the movie you love so much. Author > director. I know for a fact if I were an author, I’d never have my books turned into movies. I wouldn’t want hypocritical people loving my story if they can’t even take the time to read & appreciate it. I often hear the excuse “I didn’t know there was a book”. Is it that hard to look online & find out since you thought the movie trailer looked good? Apparently so. I always check to see if there is a book before I watch a movie. It should be illegal or something for people to watch a movie if they haven’t read the books. My second favourite book series has a movie coming out next year, I’m not even going to watch it. The movie will ruin the magic of the stories, & it will gain fans it never knew it had because they’re too lazy to pick up a book, sit their ass down, & learn to fucking read (a good example would be The Hunger Games or Harry Potter).

So many people have judged me for this & found it funny to abuse me (good ol’ keyboard warriors on Tumblr), but hey, these people are clearly watchers & not readers, so I don’t particularly care what their illiterate ass thinks of me.

If people are illiterate….then how did they read your post in the first place? I’ve read most of the books I’ve seen movies of, but it isn’t the end of the world when people don’t read those books and just enjoy the movies. I sincerely hope that you someday become a published author so you can be branded as a total cunt for being so imperialistic about your books. :)

So, I’m sorry, but you want me to literally google every movie I see an enticing trailer for to be sure I’m not making the oh-so-atrocious mistake of not knowing it was a book before I see it? Crucify me.

This post has to be a joke; the more I read over it, the more I am certain that no person could possibly make claims so manically egotistical and pompous as to say it should be illegal to see movies before reading the books. How dare you be so exclusive of an equally wonderful media of storytelling, you megalomaniac.

Directors turn books into movies because they love the story, and want it to be shared with the masses. As someone with a mother who has ADHD so terrible that she cannot read books, for she never finishes them, I find your disdain for “non-readers” abhorrent. My best friend’s brother, Josh, who happens to be autistic, doesn’t really love Harry Potter because he couldn’t read the books, right? Learn to fucking read, kid!

Oh, and one more thing: Directors ≠ Screenwriters. If someone was raving over the plot of a movie, they are revering the work of the Screenwriter, who is not (usually) the Director. So the next time you decide to flame someone’s expressive medium, maybe you should google it first; especially considering screenwriters are, you know, writers, just like you.

And Dixie rock. And the fact I yell everything I say. My dry humour, my insistance on organic, recycling,  and volunteer work, and my passion for the arts. A man who loves it when I sing and never expects anything more than my love in return for his.

Mostly, I need a man who wants me around, even when he’s with his friends.

So, basically, not the person I’ve been after for over a year. Who knows when I’ll stop going back to the same old-same old. Old habits die hard, but someday, when I respect myself, I’ll find someone who respects me right back.

But I think the only way I can have a good summer is to quit you.

And really, you told me all along you’d never want me how I wanted you— I’ve been trying to make you something you’re not. So, I’ll let you go.
