TalonRider Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I saw this movie trailer on TV last night, Love, Simon. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I read the book, had no idea they were making it into a movie. It's a great book. C Link to comment
William King Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Some great lines: "These last few years I feel like you've been holding your breath." "It's not because you're black, I like black people..." Wish they'd had films like that when I was a teenager ? Link to comment
colinian Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I loved the book. I hope they've done a good job on the texting and emailing between Simon and Blue. And it upset me that the trailer has a huge Spoiler telling us that Simon knows Blue goes to his high school. It takes Simon time to figure that out in the book. That makes me worry that the film isn't going to follow the story in the book. The book puts us in Simon's head. How well the movie handles that is critical. Call me a pessimist.

ChrisR Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 "Realist", Colin! I didn't read 'Stand By Me' in 89 minutes nor 'Hunt for Red October' in 2:15, but I most definitely wasn't disappointed in the film translations. So enjoy the show and in the post-film chow-down with your compadres, compare and contrast the book and film. Of course if the movie is a loser, it's all your fault. ;) Link to comment
