Julie in CA Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Morelli or Ranger? :001_tt1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Morelli!! I'm a total Cupcake! Cupcakes are mellow and easy going. I have never seen (okay read) a crazier bunch than the Amazon Batbabes! Those chicks are get crazy! They'll attack with no hesitation, often even if the Cupcake is backing their statements up with page numbers. Unfortunately, the Amazon Batbabes seem to have read so much fanfic that that they tend to confuse fanfic Plum with actual Plum. Plus I grew up in NJ. I went to high school with a lot of Plum-ish characters. I wish the current books were more like the earlier ones. JE seems to be phoning it all in at this point. The fart jokes are old. Lula's been made into a caricature, Steph's lost what little common sense she had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lula's been made into a caricature, Steph's lost what little common sense she had. I know what you mean. I used to wait for new books to come out, but now I'm in no rush to read them, and just borrow them from the library. Poor Stephanie has turned into such an incompetent, and although I used to like Lula, she has become annoying. Even Grandma isn't as much fun; it's just the same old, same old. And really, these two hot guys are totally in love with Stephanie, but the way JE portrays her these days, it's getting harder and harder to imagine what they see in her. She used to be great, but now I'm embarrassed for her a lot of the time. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 But you all *know* Ranger will be unable to commit, and even if it's a fun ride, it'll only be a short one before he leaves town, finds someone else, or dies. :001_huh: Still, I don't think I'd be able to resist...

kewb Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ranger. Definitely Ranger. Unless I was ready to settle down and start a family. Morelli would be the better choice. But Ranger, so hot.

littlebug42 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ranger, Babe! All the way. If I read one more novel where she ends up with Morelli at the end, I think I will bash my head into a wall.

Jan in SC Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Morelli- I probably put too much thought into it, though. I like the idea of the commitment with as much excitement as she has, daily. (I really need to get a life!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane in CO Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 In my mind when I am reading the books Ranger looks like Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) . It will be strange to watch the movie and not see The Rock in that role! Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree! For one, she's too pretty; and two, she doesn't look tough enough. Stephanie should look like the girl next door and that she can take care of herself....sort of like Kate from Lost. I like Amy Adams for the girl next door look too but I'm not sure she could handle herself in a Stephanie type situation. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of your choices would be good. And I'm not disappointed in either of the choices for the men. I wonder how well they'll do casting Lula, Connie, Vinny, and most of all... Grandma Mazur!

Guest Katia Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Ranger. He loves Stephanie for who she is right now and at all times. He just loves and accepts her for her. Morelli, on the other hand, 'seems' to be the perfect guy for her, except......he wants Stephanie to be what HE wants her to be. She is never 'ok' just being who she is. Why would any woman accept that? For security? And, there is nothing that says Ranger would up and leave. I think he's amazingly responsible; he just keeps up an 'image'. Ranger is the clear choice. But....this issue should have been resolved after the 10th book. The rest of the series is......sad. I don't read them at all anymore; just the old books.
