I needed a moment after watching this.

The trailer for Precious:

I end up not being able to focus on the content because all I can think is, "I can see my house from here!" They shot the apartment building interiors in my old building (while I was living there) and a lot of the street scenes on my street (well, streets plural; my building was on a corner).

FWIW, the crew and the director-on-location were all really nice people! (They had to stop shooting sometimes to let residents go through the lobby and up to our apartments.)

Damn, that looks good.

I just posted about this too; it was on Jezebel. I read some spoilers for the book in the comments there and while I hope the movie does well, I don't think I can take reading the book, and I wonder what from the book will be in the movie....

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's where I got it from. And those spoilers ... I'm of the mind where I really want to read a book before I see a movie made from it, but I'm really wondering if I'm going to be able to handle it if I do this time.

I know that for me personally it's probably best that I not read it.

Dayam. That's a story that hasn't been seen since "The Color Purple."

Wow. I mean WOW.

I actually have this book on my to-read list though I don't even remember how it got there. Moved the book to the top of the list just now.

...wow. Going to have to see that one. I don't read much anymore, which is a shame. Have a feeling it's going to wreck me. First time in awhile a trailer's gotten me crying, but then a few parts hit a bit close to home--for a lot of people, I'm sure.

Hey, look at that. I got all weepy. I read the comments and didn't expect to get weepy but there it is.

I read about this movie in a magazine. Or online. Somewhere. I dunno. It looks really good.
