What movie/s are you watching?

['thul]

The movies are somewhat more action-oriented than the books, making more of potential fight scenes.

Spoilers about book 4 following:

One thing they had managed well in the aforementioned movie was to

make the effects of the malnutrition in the pregnancy look realistic in the movie. She looked halfway like a skeleton. 'thul do wonder how much of her then was cgi and how much was really there. The thing 'thul wondered most before watching was where they split the story in half. Care to guess, Farseer?

Part of the "smitten" stuff your friend has probably comes from the fact that while the character is physically 18, the actor is about 26 years. (Born in May 1986 according to IMDB)
If one should generically place a middle-aged woman at 35-40, the difference is suddenly "only" 9-14 years, rather than 17-22 years... ('thul do not have any specific idea of what age range defines a middle-aged human female, so if the numbers are insultingly off, it is an accident born of ignorance...)
