Well, if you put a FLYING CABBAGE in it (because you're afraid of the 'angel' aspect in the book?) and you only mention Aunt Beast by name and never show her then you're not even trying. Never mind the twins being excised entirely, or Calvin's family going from ignoring him to mentally abusing him, or even the timeline change of having Charles Wallace make enough food/milk for visitors and then the weird edit so you're not sure if that was the previous day or not.

UGH.

I'm so glad I got it from the library. I wouldn't want to have paid money to be this mad.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
