my brothers are obsessed with jeff kinney's diary of a wimpy kid series. they have all the books and it's a struggle to get them to let anyone else read them. they didnt even let my cousins touch them over the summer (ali was willing to let them borrow it for ten riyals an hour until my dad said no).
anyways, there's a movie coming out of it in april that they're excited about. today, i showed abdullah the kid that would be playing greg (the main character and writer of the diary) in the movie. this is him. i think he's adorable:
abdullah was disappointed, to say the very least. his initial reaction was, "but that doesnt look anything at all like greg." i dunno how familiar you all are with the series, but this is what greg looks like:
i tried to tell him that greg in the books was barely more than a stick figure with three strands of hair, and it would be pretty much impossible to find a real person who looks like him. abdullah wasnt convinced and insists they could have done a better job in casting.
