Nah, it's understandable. Not many older people read the books, and the movie bombed spectacularly. But anyway...SweetShark said:Call me a fool if you want, but I didn't read neither the books, neither saw the movie.
How much different is the book with the film?
The move changes so many plot points from the books (Examples of new changes include the main character's parents never being killed by his brother [in fact, they never die], the faction that kidnaps the main character is replaced with a faction that is introduced several books later, said faction that is introduced early has several of their ideals changed, the main character is in love with a character that in the books he couldn't stand much, and etc.), not to mention they messed up some basic owl stuff that the books had gotten spot on (such as Barn Owls having all black eyes, while in the movie pretty much all the owls have the same yellow/amber-ish eyes)
Quite possibly due to how bad the movie bombed, the director doesn't speak of it much and only refers to it as 'that owl movie'.
But anyway, I did this for the boyfriend. His result is quite hilarious. It make me feel so much better (but since the artist wrote the name on the wondrous work of art, and since Mr. Boyfriend doesn't want people to know his real name, I unfortunately can't post it, nor will he).
