“Team Shay” Essay

Lindsey — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 02:52:11 +0000

Mr. Westerfeld linked a free-this-week essay from SmartPop on his blog about Uglies! Titled “Team Shay,” here’s an excerpt:

Though Tally’s pinball relationships with David and Zane are always at the forefront of the narrative, one must remember that the story is told from Tally’s point of view. She may not recognize Shay’s feelings—a fact that more than once sends Shay into a vengeful rage—and what’s more, she may be too biased to recognize the truth of her own. While David and Zane vanish into the wilderness for months or books at a time, Shay is always there, always watching, always waiting, and always, always thinking about Tally.

This made me think of Shay in a new light (because I never really liked her before). What do YOU think???

Spam Spam Spam SPAM

Yes, we have lots of spam. I did another clean out of the comment spam, and they are getting harder to pick out. Just so you guys know, don’t ever click on any of the links on any of the comments. I’ve blocked links from coming through, but even the commenter’s names, where they have websites. Even as tempting as it is to click on “watch Eclipse for free!!!!!,” it is totally spam and will probably plague your computer with viruses and JUNK. Just be careful, okay guys?

I thought maybe I should feature something for our Zane fans.

This is “Zane” by Chocomegs on DeviantArt.

It took a while. Not as long as I would have guessed, though. Started off as a study in perspective and angle. I just really, really wanted to pull off somebody looking up. Gradually it warped into an Uglies-inspired fanart, haha.

What do you guys think? I like the painting style she uses, I assume it’s digital.

Scott Coments on Casting Rumors

Scott commented via his twitter and his website that the casting rumors for Uglies is completely false. We probably already guesed that, but it was nice to finally hear something about the movie and to have something to talk about .
Here’s what he said on his website:

The cast list on the Uglies movie IMDB page has turned out to be a hoax. There is no word yet on casting.

And his Twitter:

News from my Hollywood agent: the Uglies cast additions to IMDB are not true. You are ALL still Tally!

Thanks to everyone who gave me a heads up! I was really lazy in posting this

Uglies Fanmade Poster!

Lindsey — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:57:27 +0000

My sister and I created this poster for her English project today. Tell me what you think in the comments!

Danielle Panabaker plays Tally, Garrett Hedland plays David, and Lindsey Haun plays Shay. Brian Crain is just one of our favorite composers, and you might notice that Ron Howard directed Angels and Demons.
