6 TDIR icons
Some more Dark Is Rising icons. Not many, but, well, here are the meager offerings. I'm not even bother going to use a cut.
More should be forthcoming as more comes out about the forthcoming travesty so-called "adaptation."
For those of you who are fans of the books and are just finding out about the movie, please allow me to ruin your innocence. For those of you who haven't read the books, please do! They're some of the best fantasy books out there.

They are awesomely brilliant!!!
*snicker* all so true.
Will take 5 & 6 and credit if ok? Thanks!

I love #2! I may or may not yoink it, but thought it best to pop and say that they're all awesome.

I've read the books, but didn't know about the movie... *goes clickie link*
ps: love icon style :)

Having just seen the trailer for that travesty of a film (my fiance had to hold me down and shush me), thank you for giving voice to my pain. Also, I will take #5 and credit, because one should not mess with the Black Rider's storyline.

Not taking, but I just had to say I had no idea they were making those books into films, and while I've wanted that forever, if they're going to screw it up so severely...I think I might picket. haha. What a travesty.

2007-08-18 02:55 pm (UTC)
I've been raving about this travesty since I first found out the details.
I think I love you. :)
2007-08-18 04:30 pm (UTC)
YES. Thank you, I don't think these people understand the concept of an adaptation. It looks like bad fanfic where they keep some of the characters' names but change everything else, just on the big screen.
Oh Christopher Eccleston, I'm sure you'll be brilliant as the boa-wearing Rider on a white horse, but why?
2007-08-18 07:28 pm (UTC)
"Oh Christopher Eccleston, I'm sure you'll be brilliant as the boa-wearing Rider on a white horse, but why?"
*winces* Exactly so. Casting CE as the Rider is actually a great idea: perfect fit. Everything else about his storyline and, come to think of it, the entire movie just makes me want to cry.
Oh, and by the bye, I love the icons, especially the second and the sixth.
2007-08-19 03:39 am (UTC)
It truly is excellent casting: I recently reread the book and little things such as the blue eyes and 'curious accent not of the South-East' fit perfectly. Too bad the rest of the movie looks utterly horrible. I don't know if I can even bear to mock watch it on dvd when I'll be free to yell at it. Ah well, perhaps someone will put the CE bits on youtube? Yes, that may be bearable.
And I just realized I said nothing about the icons! Great work, and I'll have to agree with ladyjoust in saying the 2nd and 6th are especially awesome.
2007-08-18 07:53 pm (UTC)
Ahaha.. I looked up the trailer on youtube, and it actually did made me cry because it just seems so lame, such lame dialogue, oh god, I can't take it XD
It was one of my favorite book series when I was in middle school, and now god, the lameness! Save us!
2007-08-18 07:55 pm (UTC)
These are wonderful.
The movie looks to be just terrible and I've decided to enjoy rereading the series instead.
Taking 2 and 5. Will credit when using.
2007-08-18 11:09 pm (UTC)
Thanks!
Snagged #1. Maybe #4 later. I have credited you - feel free to look and tell me if I'm doing it wrong.
2007-08-18 11:15 pm (UTC)
I'm snagging #3 and will credit! :)
2007-08-19 02:47 am (UTC)
You. Win. So much. Why, oh WHY must they ruin this book (and possibly this series)??
2007-08-19 03:39 am (UTC)
Every new interview/article that come out is worse than the last!
Thanks for the icons - we're gonna need them.
2007-08-19 06:17 am (UTC)
The Rider's horse is...white? o_O? What are they doing to that poor book...I loved the book. So many did. And I just saw the trailer and was highly confused 'cause the book I read wasn't much like that...gah Love the icons, of course.
2007-08-19 06:59 am (UTC)
It's so unfair, because Christpher Eccleston is probably the best casting possible for the Rider but this movie is going to suck. BAH.
Things like this make me want to produce films, just so they stop ruining my childhood. (And also because we seriously need a Quest for a Maid movie.)
2007-08-19 02:38 pm (UTC)
haha ur icons are awesome! I might snag #6 later nearer to Oct 4 In fact, I might use all YAY BOOKS and BOO MOVIE DiR icons for all my LJ posts nearer to the date!!
2007-08-19 04:04 pm (UTC)
If it didn't make me too sad to think about it, I would take #2, because that is exactly how I feel. But I can't use it because, well. It would make me too sad.
But these are awesome. Even if I won't be touching this travesty with a ten foot pole.
2007-08-19 04:08 pm (UTC)
*le sigh* these are so true. I know I'm going to hate myself for it, but I don't think that I will be able to help seeing this movie. I actually enjoy my righteous fury moments. Like directly after the Eragon movie. *kills*
but, taking icons, thanks <3
2007-08-19 09:56 pm (UTC)
Oh! Do what I'm doing: I'm seeing it, but I'm paying for another movie.
Just an idea!
2007-08-19 07:27 pm (UTC)
The Ian McShane is PRICELESS! :D
2007-08-24 11:39 am (UTC)
I took them all, and will credit gleefully.
2007-09-02 06:29 pm (UTC)
Mmmm. I'm quite a fan of the books and these icons are expressing my feelings of woe most humorously - Go you!
2007-09-09 07:22 pm (UTC)
:-(
I found out that they're making a movie adaptation of these books yesterday morning. I ranted to my friends for about an hour after that. These are some of my favorites books in the world. Soooo...these icons are AWESOME! haha...anyway, i'm taking some of them, and i'll credit for sure!
2007-09-19 06:45 pm (UTC)
These are rather good, but it's so sad that they have to be made, alas. This could have been a good movie...
2007-09-24 03:49 am (UTC)
snagging 2 and 4, thanks so much! i guess it's true what they say - you laugh because otherwise you'd cry...and never stop. ;___;
2007-10-01 06:50 pm (UTC)
Snagging 1. Found out about the movie 2 minutes ago and am speechless. Where's the BBC production team when you need them?
2007-10-07 02:41 pm (UTC)
Snagging 3 & 5.
Good work, comrade!
