Dumb Moments in the Lives of Famous People

When Demi Moore starred in the remake of The Scarlet Letter, viewers were surprised that the film depicted her being rescued from the Puritans by Indians, then ending with a happy love affair. But Demi was unconcerned with the film's rather large poetic license because "not many people have read the book." Except, of course, for just about everyone who ever went to high school, since the novel had been required reading for decades.

What an idiot. That was such a horrible movie.

Im ceasing to see the surprise here. I mean we are talking about Demi Moore. lol

Does give some more evidence however.

I used to wonder why she named one of her girls Rumer.

Yeah, horrible isn't even sufficient to describe, you know?

Ah yes. That movie came out while I was IN high school, and right after we had to read The Scarlet Letter. I took a friend with me to see it, and he won't ever let me live down my reaction to the movie. The entire time they were taking their "poetic license", I was saying, "THIS IS NOTHING LIKE THE BOOK!" Lather, rinse, repeat - throughout the entire movie.

I didn't lather, rinse, repeat very much, and just turned the thing off. Whew.

besides all of that, demi moore is really not at all how i would expect hester prynne to look. i really liked that book even though it was somewhat long-winded. she just looks so eighties... and i don't mean 1780s -
(wait when was that book supposed to take place? i can't remember it's been a while)

You know, I can't recall the time period either.

Poetic license, indeed.

Hated, hated, the book. At least the movie had a steamy love scene, though.

Had to write an eight page essay on that cursed book, in class, since I was an AP student. The Honors kids got to do their essay at home. Blast!!
