In which John Green and Hank attend the premiere of The Fault in our Stars movie in New York City. Also featured are cast members Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff, Laura Dern, Sam Trammell, and more.
Thanks to everyone who has read the book and shared with me in the process of watching the movie get made. Sharing this with you has made it real for me, and I hope you love the movie as much as I do.
Screaming directed towards an author makes me SO happy!!
Sup Chris. its nice to see you active again!!!!
I agree with this a lot lol. I loved the book but I'm more excited for John's success than for the actual movie :)
It's nice to know that even this day in age, not only boybands and actors get screamed towards. :')
spot the crabstickz
the youth may be ok after all
That impression at the end though
spot on
11/10 Double thumbs up
I laughed so hard at the impression I think my family's gonna send me to an insane asylum.
Hank is awesome
AGREED!
Who invited Woody Adenoid Allen ?
The Fault in Our Stars Movie Premiere
I saw it on thursday(:
Guys they don't say video blog anymore it's called blog now hahaha just saying! :)
I just came back from seeing The Fault in Our Stars movie, and I got a overwhelming sense of pride watching it, not because I had anything to do with making it, but because I feel like I have been a part of the process as a viewer of this channel. I read the book a few months after it came out and I am so so glad that movie was so faithful and so incredibly well made. Congratulations John, and thank you for making the world a little bit more awesome with your story.
I love that you remind everyone to READ. THE. BOOK. FIRST.
"Read the book FIRST!"
My mantra.
Diana Peña That's not the point he was trying to make. And not how most people would regard movie adaptations. Most people like to read the book first because there's just going to be more stuff in the book than in the movie. A movie can be good, but it can have absolutely nothing to do with the book that it was based on. That's not the case with TFIOS, though.
Diana Peña True, but of course you have to take into account that it is the author of said book that is telling people to read the book. It's something that he feels strongly about and he wants people to read the work that he did before going to see an adaptation of it. I don't think he meant it in any way that the movie isn't going to be good on its own even if you haven't read the book
Diana Peña The movie hasn't even really come out yet, and yes, John Green has seen it and as he mentioned in this very video, he really really likes it. I may even stray into the forbidden territory and say he loves it. He's getting to see characters that he imagined come to life and I believe that's why he wants people to read the book first. You can have your own experiences with the characters and when you watch the movie you can have that amazing moment when you see things that you made up in your head actually happen and it's a really incredible thing. That's the thing about reading. When we read we can create these worlds within our minds and live within them for fleeting moments and when our favorite books have good movie adaptations, you just get completely immersed in, not only the experience of the movie, but the memories of the book
Diana Peña You're right. A movie has to stand on its own merits, regardless of the source material.
But I prefer to read the source material first, because it tends to be a much richer experience.
Diana Peña Very true. You shouldn't have to read the book to understand the film, that's just silly. I can understand why someone would want people to get a handling of the source material before heading into an adaptation just because but it shouldn't be required in order to enjoy the film.
I love how John is more dedicated to vlogging than he is looking sensible in the press photos. You go, John!
I want to see those photos!
Olivia Scott
ME TOO!!!
Is no one going to talk about the almost perfect impersonation of John Green done by Nat Wolff (aka Q!!!)
Yes! aka Q!
Guys, I saw it last night. It was amazing. There are of course so,so bits that are different, but it was amazing
*some
Yea if course the movies are always slightly different from the book just like divergent movie was different from divergent book it's totally normal
aryn shields
I know, I think sometimes though people expect too much and get upset with slight changes, but this movie was so close to the book, it was amazingly faithful. You literally could not ask for a better adaptation.
Did they cut the scene where Gus is covered in his own vomit at the gas station ?!
@Casey Moane It's not cut, but not as grotesque, either.
READ THE BOOK FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So so so so so proud of you John Green!! I am crying watching this, I have been with you since the very beginning and look at ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU AND YOUR STORIES!!! YOU DID IT MAN!!!!
Thank you. I am very, very grateful for all of this, but the real work (and the real fun) is making stuff I care about with people I care about, from the Project for Awesome to the Nerdfighter Book Club, so expect a video about Behind the Beautiful Forevers next week! :) -John
Welp, I have admired you since I was a teenager and now you have responded to me and know that I exist. John Green has acknowledged my existence, I...I ...can't... form ...proper ...thoughts right now. I will be excitedly awaiting this new video!!!
"hold on i have to video blog really quickly" ahaha i love that, great video
omgomggomg
A wild Myles appears!!!
I just got back from seeing the movie, and I have to agree with John! It is AMAZING and BRILLIANT and FAITHFUL TO THE BOOK!!! I couldn't be happier about it (which is why I cried the whole way through haha)! It's just so beautiful!
I cried tooo! and my daughter understood why...( the avid reader, nerdfighter since 2005 )..and I love loove love the way John writes.. how he over explains .. it makes me smile . thats how he talks, Vlogs.. Think I cried through half the movie..sigghh :)
Just saw it with my sister. A fantastic experience and a wonderful movie, definitely a very faithful adaption.
There were a couple of lovely old ladies in the back who we saw as we left, one was dabbing their eyes underneath her glasses as her companion comforted her by rubbing her shoulder. Lovely to see how this movie can affect audiences of all ages. Well done to the whole cast and crew, it was wonderful to hear what was chosen as the credits song.
NAT DID THE HANDS ON THE HEAD THING PERFECT IMPRESSION 10/10
I still think his Al Pacino one was better. If Nat had a whole channel based around him being Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman that would be the best thing ever.
***** ...dont i know you from somewhere? ;P
***** well we are internet celebs now so this is bound to happen haha
He did that at the BookCon panel too! It was amazing.
***** ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?? *dingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingdingding*
haha that was a glorious John impression at the end
Needs more puff.
That Nat Wolff is a talented young actor. He's gonna make a great Q in Paper Towns. -John
Currently crying tears of joy. Congrats, Hank Green. You deserve the world and beyond.
you know those notice boards you get in schools that they put adds and menus on? Well i was at school today and they have took everything off of the notice board and replaced in with a giant tfios poster
Hmm..in my school they did that for Lord of the Rings 1...
MegaCevapcic What is Lord of the Rings 1? I don't remember there being a 2
Corin Rowe
lol
Corin Rowe There were 3. The subtitles are too long to write :P
Corin Rowe Yeah it's right up there along with Harry Potter 9: The Dead Hollows and Star Wars XVI: Revenant Shit. Its subtitle was LotR: Not Another Volcano!.
The movie looks incredible, and we're all proud of the success of this story! Looking forward to finally seeing it!
Does this mean Trace, Laci, Tara, and Anthony are Nerdfighters?
Benjamin Myers first of all, they dont actually have sex. This book/movie is about 2 kids who fall in love with cancer, wich telks us we should have hope in love. Please understand😌
Amy Park Do your research or read the book, they Dooooo!
Eyy nerds! 😂
"I kind of lost my ability to even"
"and I kind of lost my ability to even." John you are so amazing!
John, as an older Nerdfighter (according to Hank's census data) one of the things I appreciate is your genuine excitement and humility about the craziness surrounding your T.F.I.O.S experience. I am proud of your and your accomplishments - that you have managed to succeed at doing what you love and maintain your integrity is a testament to the quality person you are. You definitely don't need to be reminded to not forget to be awesome!
Did anyone else have a moment watching this? I'm (I guess) considered an "old" viewer..like back when VlogBrother's reached 100,000 subscribers, maybe even before that. I just remember finding a heart felt note inside a book talking about this channel - I wish I had kept the note! It is so amazing and inspiring to see all of the success between the two of you as well as how big the community has grown!
Reading through the comments to this video is so heartwarming because so many people are having moments. It reminds me that nerdfighteria is still what it always has been, and that in the end we're all just happy that what originated here can grow and touch so many people. :)
Definitely am currently having a moment.
I had the same moment! I was like "how the hell has this guy I used to watch waxing his chin and misreading Aerofighters now premiering an international film?" It hit me like a goddamn train.
Thank you, Krystina, for sticking with us all these years and for your support. I also had a moment making the video! -John
Wish i could be there at the premiere.
Hi Mr Repzion
Oh it's you ;3
I love the book and can't wait to see the film, it helped me through my carrying of my parent
ushiuni82 I'm glad that you alerted us of your presence.
rcmps772 Yes, I agree, rc.
Thanks, ush.
The last impression looked like John but sounded like Hank
did we just see the yeti?
Go to the Art Assignment channel. You can see her there.
malwinpilak hahaha shes been popping up for well over a year now. its just wasnt too frequent at first
You took the time to blog during what had to be one of the most intense experiences of your professional life, and that means a lot, John. I was ready to give you a pass for missing today but no, here it is. You always remember us, and that is why we always remember you. I'm so happy for you and proud of you and happy to be a part of such an amazing community. Best wishes, John! :)
This this this. You said what I wanted to say but much more eloquently. :)
Kyasakoamy
Aww, thank you! That is really nice of you to say! I was just so overwhelmed by feelings of appreciation... I'm glad they came across!
Hey I recognize you (sarty ) as yet another nerdfighter that is feeling a bit off about most nerdfighteria gatherings (as we are not teenagers) - I will say that I am throwing caution to the wind and joining in on this most auspicious of occasions - hope you can too or that you can enjoy the coming theatrical incarnation of John's with all the personal joy of any other nerdfighter. DFTBA & I loved your comment!
I cant wait to share the happiness!!!
Wow, an author who likes the movie made on the skeleton of his book! I didn't know that ever happened....
J.K. Rowling liked the Harry Potter Movies =))
Irvine Welsh has liked the movie adaptations of his novels "Filth" and "Trainspotting", which are brilliant, by the way.
He wrote the script.
Vaynor no he didn't. fox originally wanted him to but he tried and couldn't do it so two other writers wrote the screenplay based off the book. but john himself didn't write the screenplay.
***** also i don't know if you watched the video but he literally just said he doesn't make commission off the movie, they paid him for the rights to the book originally and "if i didn't like it, trust me, you'd know."
I watched this movie today. It is incredible and I cried a million tears. Thank you John Green.
John Green, you 'da man. Mad props and much love. Saw a trailer for this before Godzilla-- looks like it will live up to the book. Thanks for providing this generation with a better love story than Twilight!
That is not a particularly fair comparison as pretty much anything is better than Twilight
I want to say something clever about this video, but all I can manage is to say that I'm hella proud of you, John. Thank you for sharing your TFIOS journey with us. Cheers.
Thanks for being proud of me. It really does mean a lot. I feel so supported right now, and it is keeping me sane. -John
Dear John, I just saw The Fault in Our Stars. I have NO words. It followed the book SO well until the very end. I feels quite short even though it is quite long. And the theater would not have been complete with out the heavy sniffling throughout the film. Thank you, so much for your crwative genius..... and willingness to sell out and make a movie.
John, I read your book a year or so ago and loved it. My husband found it on our Kindle and read it. When he was done, he told me that he wish he knew it was sad but also loved the book. When I first found out that a movie was being made, I was really excited and looked forward to watching it in the theater. Unfortunately, my love story changed two months ago that makes me too emotionally raw to see it. My 31 year old healthy (we thought) husband who rides his bike 70 miles a week, gardens, target shoots, runs races, etc. was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. He was given 6 months to a year to live without treatment. With treatment, maybe 2. We have found a treatment out of state that could give him 5. I am not strong enough emotionally to watch the movie since it's so close to home, so new. I am, however, thankful that you wrote the book and that so many people were touched by it. My husband isn't a teenager but he is starting to go through some of the emotions and thought processes that your characters experienced. People don't really know how to act around him yet. I think your book and this movie will help refocus some attention to children (and adults) who are sick. It will help them have a better grasp on how to treat them and not be afraid to talk to them. So, for that, I felt the need to say thank you. I know you probably won't see this comment and that's ok. :)
Oh John, you look so dazed and frazzled but in such a good way, I hope you truly enjoyed yourself, and I'm so glad you got to go with your lovely wife. Thank you for sharing this experience with us--not just the book, but this entire process.
TIFIOS blue carpet! Congratulations John Green and all of the #TFIOS cast!
I took my 61 year old mother to see the movie to see if I could melt her icy heart and I'm about 99% I succeeded. We were in a cinema packed full of sobbing fourteen year olds and they AWWD in unison everytime Gus said something about Hazel being beautiful and then I ended up crying my eyes out and the whole walk home my mum and I talked about how a short life can also be a deeply rich and moving life and it made her feel a lot better about her age and it made her want to live her life more fully and tick off all those things on her bucket list. Thankyou for writing such a beautiful story. John, you are an endless inspiration to me as a writer and as a human being. Thankyou for existing.
You go John and Hank! Congratulations on your success.
'They're thirsty for Augustus Waters' - Hank you are brilliant
I've been a Nerdfighter since 2007, and i don't think i could be more excitied and proud! I'm just totally psyched to see it Thursday! HUZZAH!
So I watched it last night, and I went with 2 of my best friends, one of which hadn't read the book and HE was the one who cried the most and kept telling me "I hate you" and couldn't stop crying. So, it was beautiful. In the end he told me "I hate you just a little bit, but I loved this movie and I want everybody to come and see it" and I couldn't agree more.
Years after but still 💜
I love absolutely everything about this video. You were vlogging on the red(blue) carpet-Vlogging. Something in my head just exploded with respect. Idk it just shows that you really do care about this community, you could have been like any other celebrity (sorry about the descriptive personal pronoun) and tried to be all statues-quoy, but fuck the quo you put your community above appearances and respect the hell out of that. I feel so grateful to live in an era where I can grow up with models like you and hank.
I think this might be the very first (and only) Yeti appearance in a ***** video *ever*
I will have to confer with my Nerdfighter historians, but this is unprecedented.
For anyone wondering you can BRIEFLY see Sarah's FACE @00:36 in this video (but of course you can see her a lot on The Art Assignment so it really isn't nearly as big a deal as it was back in 07-08 Nerdfighteria) You can only see the side/back of her when he talks about her specifically.
***** well, yes technically that is true, but she wasn't in like an official "vlogbrothers video"
That was a special occasion.
What about the live stream with Obama? Or was that not on the Vlogbrothers channel?
Corrigan Miller not on the VB channel. I think it was on the White House's channel actually.
You can see her arm and hear her talk in the "Cooking with a 3-Year-Old" video.
Am I the only one who doesn't see Sarah at that time? I see a different lady standing behind him, who is not Sarah....halp?
John, I am a nerdfighter and a Malaysian. I have been a nerdfighter since 2012 and I am very excited for your movie and your success. I have read two of your books, Looking for Alaska and The fault in our Stars. I have been looking forward for the movie since it started production. But, The most disappointing thing is that it is only coming out in my country, Malaysia on the 31 of July. A whole month after the release in the USA. I know that you are not involved in the distribution of the movie around the world, but I just wanted you to know that I will be waiting for it. Thanks for making my life and the lives of countless others worth living. Thank you John
JOHN I HAVE NO WORDS! Many tears, much feels.... The movie certainly lived up to the standards set by the amazing novel! I'd like to thank you for all you have done and fox, the cast, josh, etc.
kudos of videoblogging AT A MOVIE PREMIER in front of ALL THOSE CAMERAS (that arent yours) it makes me very happy!!! congrats john!!! im seeing the movie tonight! i hope its good!! :D
also i just want to take a second to gloat that as an australian we get the movie a tiny bit early (today is the 4th for us!) which is very exciting because we NEVER get movies early!
Dam you got an advanced screening ticket? In so annoyed that I missed it >:(, we sometimes do get other movies in advance as well for an example of a big movie we for before the U.S is The Avengers and I'm pretty sure that was a week before the U.S
HOW DID I ONLY REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AUGUSTUS'S LAST NAME JUST NOW??? IT'S SO OBVIOUS NOW OH MY GOD
Took me awhile to get it, I had to have a tumblr post explain it to me
wait I'm painfully slow please explain omg plz
Paulina Gonzalez Hazel has fluid in her lungs and thats why Gus last name is Waters because she has "water" in her lungs, i explained that kinda of confusingly sorry but bascially she has water in her lungs his last name is Waters
Annaie1234 Damn, I thought it was about the epigraph from Van Houten.
MrSome1ne Actually it's about everything and anything your mind can make a connection to~ there are no right answers or wrong answers, only connections the reader makes and feels.
Oooooh I saw the midnight premiere on Thursday and bawled my eyes out, and then watched the end yesterday and STILL bawled my eyes out! This movie (and book) never gets old.
I saw TFiOS yesterday morning with my good friend Katie. And I just bawled. Because Pain demands to be felt. It was wonderful and lovely and even though I read the book, seeing the movie was an experience unto itself and one that I'm grateful for. Thank you, John Green.
"...when The Fault in Our Stars movie will be out everywhere..."
except India.
OMG! Are you serious? I was so excited to go see it after my freaking exams, of course. You just broke my heart... :(
Not Ireland either
Why? That's so unfair :(
And the Netherlands
Or England
YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
Can't wait for, "The Fault in Our Stars II".
Someone hasn't finished the book yet.
I was trying to be funny in a NON-spoiler way. Thanks.
Herbert Gibson hahaha that was really funny
there isnt gonna be a sequal lol
John said in an interview that if he ever goes broke He's gonna write "The Fault In out Stars two Electric Boogaloo"
Going from seeing you sign all of those signatures, to seeing the book in my local college bookstore, then to my local supermarket, and then seeing the ads for the movie and beyond it was an amazing and exciting thing to see John!! Congratulations from Texas!!
Nat's impression of you, John, was scarily accurate!
THIS MAKES ME SO EMOTIONAL! This book means so much to me and i am so excited for the book!!! DO U SEE HOW EXCITED I AM LOOK AT THE EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!!!! no but really, it's very inspirational to see John become so successful (as does Hank) and i just love you guys a lot and it's amazing to see both your careers take off (ALSO THE MOVIE IS IN A COUPLE DAYS !!!!!! )
Thank you. I really appreciate your support. -John
The movie just came out in Belgium and I went to see it tonight. It was really brilliant, I loved it so much. And I cried even more than when I read the book, basically half of the movie I sat there with the tears rolling over my cheeks. Same with my friends. The movie was great, the actors were great, the book was great, John you're great!!
just finished watching tfios with premiere tickets,its sooooo good. my mum cried so badly. i tried not to cry at first . when hazel said "you gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.” oh my god,i cried like there was no tomorrow because i felt the pain in that.
Some people at my school don't even know it's a book, I feel like buying hundreds of copy's and just throwing at their faces and yell at them till they read It first
Do it.
NoahOfTheArc I probably will to be honest
Congratulations on the premiere! I hope you all had fun, and I can't wait to see it on Thursday.
Also, that beginning was so adorable! Brotherly lo- I mean like.
John Green, I read your book in 2 days
It was my obsession
It was really inspiring and, although I may not have cancer, i know people who do and I wanted to thank you for writing a book so many of us can relate to.
You're an amazing writer and an inspiration.
Thanks again!!
I am completely honest here. I did not cry during the film.
Before you call me a heartless bastard, I cried at the end of the Pixar film 'Up'.
Adding to that, john, congratulations on having your book made into this amazing film. Can't wait to see Paper towns next!
Got a ticket to the Night before our Stars! :)
Can't wait to see you virtually via the magic of in-theater simulcasting! -John
He's so excited and I'm just so happy for him and I've been watching them for years and I remember before he wrote TFIOS and when he was writing TFIOS and when he was promoting TFIOS and I really can't even handle this I'm just really proud of these incredible and inspiring people who care. I'm crying a little..
It's really cool that you've been part of that whole process with me, and I want you to know that it has meant a lot to me to be unalone in all of it. A lot of this stuff--even the really good stuff--is overwhelming and can be hard to bear alone, but I don't have to, because there are lots of people who've been there every step of the way and get it. So thank you. -John
***** Oh my gosh. I never dreamed you would reply to me, this made my day! But you're very welcome. You and Hank and Nerdfighteria have both helped me through a lot of overwhelming times myself and I couldn't me more grateful.
I went and saw the movie last night when it opened in cinemas in Australia. It was beautiful, John. Touching and moving and such a great homage to your amazing novel. I know you did not have direct input into the movie but nonetheless I wanted to say that I am so incredibly proud of you and everything you have achieved, you are living proof that if you work hard, dreams can come true. And most importantly, thank you for sharing this adventure with us so we too can enjoy all the special and crazy moments alongside you.
Oh my god. I cried so hard while watching the fault in our stars. It is so awesome and even if I've read the book a thousand times I cry every time.
the guy at the end that was acting wierd is soo cute also i started reading the fault in our stars and im already in love with it
That's the actor who's playing Isaac.
That would be Nat Wolff who plays Isaac in this movie and who is slated to play Q in Paper Towns. I think that is his "John" impression, it is just not very good.
Alissa Frederick Well i have some celebrity stalking to do
Alissa Frederick Wait, they're making a movie of Paper Towns? WHAT!
Wait, you don't know about the Naked Brothers Band?
I was there! I still can't believe it! I saw your face, everyones face, everyones actual real face! Even though I arrived after you go across the street and sign things I saw you, like, the real you! It was real! Thank you and congrats John! DFTBA!
That is so exciting! Congratulations! :)
I just saw it in the theater. The audience was a hectic mess of twelve year-olds in tears, but the movie was very good. The characters were spot on and, as John said, it was very faithful to the book. It was super well directed too.
I just saw the movie here in Belgium today and I cried sooooooo freaking much. I'm so happy it was such a faithful representation of the book. Thank you John Green, for sharing your brilliant thoughts with the world, and in particulary this story. The book changed my view on the world.
My body is ready!
Reggie Fils-Aime,did you turn ino KSic again?
*THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY!* I adore the book and I KNOW I'm going to adore the film
Dear John,
Just went thru a box of tissues.
Saw TFIOS with my girl friends and my sweet daughter tonight.
(Read the book months ago)
When the Fox logo popped up, I shouted, "DFTBA" and the audience went wild.
My husband and I are suffering from 2 different but serious diseases.
I always thought I would die first.
My husband was never sick, and was so strong and athletic.
Loved by all who knew him.
Then my loving husband got a 15 pound cancerous tumor in his intestines, and shattered his right leg.
I have been in a lot of pain in my body, but my heart break knowing how sick my mate was, the worst pain of my life, devastating, a 10.
I thought I would go insane with grief.
We lost everything materially, except each other.
We will continue to endure.
The love between Hazel and Gus mirrors our love of 28 wonderful years.
We are blessed. I am blessed.
Thank You John Green for giving true love a voice.
Just beautiful. Simply Beautiful.....
Thank you.
The book & movie were absolutely, astonishingly beautiful. By far the best book adapted into a movie, I've EVER seen. (and I've seen many) I sobbed the last hour of the movie, and was getting weird looks, but IT WAS WORTH IT. Thank you for changing my life with this incredible story.
John: "They wouldn't let me film inside of the theater!"
Like that's ever stopped you before...
And lol Nat's imitation matched Hank more than it did John.
Agreed. It was more of sort of a generalized vlogbrothers impersonation. -John
*****
Oh god....I'm freaking out about the fact that John Green replied to me, while at the same time struggling to avoid the common pitfall of disproportionately valuing the presence of a celebrity over the actual actions and words of a celebrity. THIS IS VERY HARD TO DO.
John kept saying that the people who made the movie really cared about the book and I could see that too, having just watched it. They made a huge effort to include scenes and put emphasis on specific lines that REALLY showed the message of the book - you don't have to leave an impact on everyone, leaving an impact on one person is enough. And that's why I loved the movie so much.
I just finished the book. I cried. It is probably the best, saddest, and cutest book I have ever read. The ending was sad, but amazing. John Green, I hereby announce you as my favorite author! You're my idol! I'm going into seventh grade, and I hope to someday publish a book. If you reply to this it will mean the world to me. Keep writing, man! You have a good talent!
I never realized how much the Green brother sound alike.
its awesome bc for once Australia is actually getting a movie quite quickly.. the midnight screening is tonight (the 4th June :p) and i am gonna see it on Sunday... thank you, Australia, for trying (':
OMG i know right? Finally!! i'm so excited aaaaahhh
I just watched it in Sydney. Cried so much!!!
I got to see it at a members only thing that Hoyts did so I saw it at 6:30pm tonight so much crying. So good.
I got to see it last night in Canberra ... I want to go see it again, and again, and again! Can't wait for the dvd release so I can!!
haha I know how you feel. In New Zealand it came out today (4th June) :)
The movie was so so amazing I laughed, cried, cried some more and laughed more too. The movie did a great job representing the book and I'm so so thankful of you, john green, for taking your time and writing the book.
Thank you for encouraging everyone to read the book first as most of the time it is better! My girlfriend and I are going tonight in Foxboro, MA. Extremely excited!
i think it's ridiculous that you're not getting a share of the movie, you wrote the book, the idea, concept, scenery ...everything!!!! I know it may not mean anything to get paid, but at least it's a way of gratitude to the amazing concept you came up with and how wonderfully written TFIOS is..
Plus, he didn't make the film. He made the book and got money from the book.
"Because he's water, it's a metaphor" oh.
I knew I was bad at critical reading but can't believe I missed something that obvious. Especially after John has repeatedly spoken about Hazel's relationship to water and drowning.
Ohmygosh yes-now I get it. for example, like hazel's lungs are filling with fluid like augustus waters was filling her heart...idk if that makes sense
John Green. Two nights ago I had a dream where I was Hazel and I was panicking because I couldn't find the nasal cannula I needed to breathe. It was the scariest, most suffocating (no pun intended) dream I ever had. You, sir, have gotten into my head.
I just wanted to say thank you. My little sister and I went and saw the movie and we both loved it. It was simply fantastic.
I love how John is wearing a suit while Hank is just wearing a shirt. Lol.
To be fair to Hank, he did go back to the hotel and dress up very nicely while I did the livechat thing with Shai and Nat. -John
I don't remember where I heard Nat is playing Quentin Jacobsen in the film adaptation of Paper Towns that Fox also bought the rights to, after buying TFiOS but I'm so glad he is if that's true.
'Tis true, confirmed on IMDB(:
Anastaysia Williams imdb is as about as reliable as wikipedia
Thank you John, for writing this absolutely brilliant book. The movie was beautifully cast, We were so moved by it, we cried, we laughed and fell in love with the characters. I predict academy award nominations for the movie, WOW, it was so beautifully written!!!
I used to freaking hate him because my history teacher would always make us watch his crash course videos and take notes in him and he would always speak so fast. When I read his book and see the movie.. I think I fell in love with John Green, like yes!
I'm always so adamant that I won't cry whilst watching a movie, (mainly because I'm a loud cryer and I will look like a tomato/puffer fish once I come out) and until TFIOS, I hadn't. This movie really got to me and I'm so glad that you were able to portray your story on different levels of creative arts; literature and now film. You should be very proud of all you've achieved and how many perspectives on life you've changed (including mine). Well done.
This story isn't the type of book I normally fall in love with, it's sad, funny but in a nerdy kind of way and honestly heartbreaking. 2 years ago I would have picked it up read a chapter and put it back down never to be touched again. But with nerdfighteria my entire outlook on almost everything has changed. I'm no longer the person who runs away from people I consider "nerds" I can honestly say now that I am one of those nerds I avoided before. I don't think I personally have changed as in who I am but the fact that I can admit it and say I LOVE vlogbrothers, I LOVE every book I have read that john has written and I love so much more that nerdfighteria has given to me. Thank you john, thank you hank. You both have allowed to me to grow in huge ways and I can promise I will be first in line to see TFIOS Friday when in comes out
This is fantastic - I'm so happy that you've come to a place where you want to identify as a nerd, and that nerdfighteria has helped you in that. It's so heartwarming to hear of people still embracing the core values of nerdfighteria when the movie madness can sometimes seem a bit shallower. (Even though ultimately it's people screaming over a BOOK, which is still amazing) DFTBA, enjoy the movie!
It wasn't that recent I realized this all, today was just the first day I felt like posting it. I have been a faithful viewer of the vlogbrothers for a year now. I find it so funny when people freak out about the movie then I mention something that happened in the book and they're like "ITS A BOOK?!?!?!" And I'm like yeah.....I've read it fifteen times....shame on you!
Yeah yeah, I assumed it was a little while back. :) Haha that's great, I hadn't realised it had reached a level of popularity where people didn't even know it was a book. In the UK I think it has yet to attain that level of fame, although after the movie comes out I think it probably will.
I WAS HERE THIS WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE JOHN & HANK PLUS THE CAST WERE AMAZING TO THE FANS AND I MANAGED TO GET MY BOOK SIGNED BY EVERYONE !
My sister gave me the book to read for my high school graduation, I loved it, and when she told me that a movie was being made, i was ecstatic! I cannot wait to go see it!
Honestly, even if I don't end up liking it, I'm just glad that HE likes it because I think I'd be upset if I liked it and the author didn't.
Hank is dressed like Shaggy.
Maybe Lemon is the secret embodiment of Scooby!
Just watched the movie.. and there are no words to describe how good it was. I think at least 80% of the theatre left in tears. Wish I could have gone to the Night Before Our Stars, but even without it I am so glad I got to see the movie tonight!
I effin' love how much of this process we get to see.
Ok, so I FINALLY saw the movie. (Didn't see it before because I wanted to see it with my then boyfriend, but he changed his mind about seeing it with me, and I guess I kinda figured that if I waited I could still eventually change his mind have share my first watching of it with him. And now a month after I left him I've finally watched it.) I loved the movie. It made me laugh and cry just like the book. And I finally (after reading the book three times) am able to put into words part of why I love it so much: it shows that even though there's plenty of ugliness in the world, there is always still beauty.
Not gonna lie, I watch his Today Show interview, and I feel quite bad for him...
Anxiety sucks. Deep breaths, John. Deep breaths.
*watched
Just finished watching "The Fault in our Stars", and wow, good job on the book, and they did an amazing job on that movie.
I smiled and cried and completely lost it more than once, and the ending just (cheese alert) sent me to an almost other-worldly feeling of euphoric joy mixed with and sadness, so i just wanted to stand up and laugh, and cry at the same time. I swear i just sat in my chair completely still, feeling that my soul was somehow ascending, to what i'm pretty sure Nirvana is to those who believe in it. Good job John Green.
Yesterday I saw the movie and I must say that I loved with all my heart! Ansel, Shai, Nat and the entire cast are amazing. I LOVE HER, LOVE HER AND LOVE HER!!!
