Divergent, I saw the midnight premiere!

Okay so Last night I saw the 9:30 ("midnight") showing of....

First I will try to keep it mostly spoiler free but read the book, it's worth it...
Now for the great, the not so great and the interesting


P.S. sorry for the lack of gifs, the lack of footage from the actual movie means a lack of gifs


The Great

  • The Movie :D
  • Soundtrack.... The music provided the perfect background to this movie, like seriously
  • Acting.... these actors are insanely talented and made a great movie together
  • Filming.... great job guys!
  • The first words Theo/Four/Tobias said "What, did you get pushed?" after she was the first jumper :D

  • The potentially unintentional reference to leg amputees made by Caleb (playing Gus in TFioS)
  • The relationship between all the characters, it was pretty awesome 
  • The diversity of the cast 
  • Aptitude test, nuff said        

  • The capture the flag game bullet things and the flag (it was a very pretty :D)    
  • The romantic SUB-plot, not all the movie is like ohhh, four! Thank you!
  • This fighting technique 
  • The way they welcomed the initiates in dauntless

The not so great
  • The Abnegation weren't as quiet and standing in the shadow as I thought they should have been 
  • The pit in the dauntless compound, it was way to... bright, it made sense from a filming perspective but I imagined it a bit more dangerous, dark and damp then it seemed in the movie
  • You didn't get emotionally attached to the initiates, like at all... Christina and will, did you even really notice, ugh     
  • It was hard to tell the guy initiates apart (black hair... dauntless clothes) even if you had read the books... maybe it was just that it was bed time :)

  • Beatrice's outfit at the beginning, I really didn't like the boots (guess I'm just vain)... and thought it should have been a tight grey undershirt instead of the long sleeve shirt and the dress which I guess would have been a lot of skin if the abnegation members would have meeker 

  • The raven tattoo wasn't explained (but the templates were cool)


    The Interesting
    Lots of spoilers so no list but there were a bunch of changes to the movie that made it different but not worse... It actually made me feel special to know what happened in the book and find the differences :)

    Now divergent things you need to see :D

    Thanksgiving Dinner!

    Today is Turkey Day! My mother decided that whenever her children reached their senior year they would have the privilege to cook ALL OF thanksgiving dinner BY THEMSELVES! (ok I did have some help but minor help) I love to cook and love to try new things so here is a tour of my thanksgiving menu. It started with a clean kitchen.... then cooking happened... I was all ready with my list and recipes.... So lets start with the Turkey! First I brined it- I brined it in some really fun things: Orange zest, Lemon juice, cinnamon, rosemary, mace, ginger and pineapple peels. Yeah mom told me to find a recipe so I look at a few and said yeah I can put whatever in so that's what I did! I came up with it, it turned out good.... thank goodness! I brined it over night! Then stuck it in a turkey bag Then I cooked it for like 4 hours Then we feasted on it! I also made Sweet P...
