YA Movie News: Beastly

The Ink Gypsy over at Once Upon a Blog has a great post up about the upcoming release of the movie adaptation of Beastly by Alex Flinn. Rather than reposting all her content, I'll just refer you over to the post in question. Go and have a look-see, then come back. I'll wait for you.

OK? Good. So, I love the trailer, looks great. I don't hate Vanessa Hudgens as much as I thought I would (except she can't act). The one thing I'm really upset about is the way they've portrayed "The Beast." It's terrible! He looks like one of the Borg from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine!! I know, I'm a geek, but that's beside the point. All my worst fears about how this was going to play out have been realized. It makes me long for the good old days when I thought the worst they could do to to mangle Adrian was this:
