John Green -- The Interview Show Part 2

[@birthdaygirl1126]

ok i love Juno and i love that John is continously bringing up Juno!! one of my all time fave movies!!

[@serasviktoria]

Thanks for the info :)

[@Fany3d]

OMG, new books!! THE SEQUEL!, can't wait!

[@LucidPsychosis]

I love John Green the vlogger, but it's really refreshing to see him as John Green the writer and as simply John Green the guy. He ties for my favorite author :)

[@serasviktoria]

thanks for the info :)

[@martha_s]

and thank you so so much for posting this one as well.

[@ebizbites]

same here! i'm reading the book and its amazing

[@blueskies]

Great interview. =)

[@littletoolate]

haha "The Sequel", that sounds so cool!!!

[@JackShafferProject]

"The Sequel"= THE FAULT IN OUR STARS :)

[@loto159]

John Green could you be any more awesome?

[@MercuryIcePrincess]

OMG NEW BOOK HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?????

[@BrittneyDC]

haha i love when people mention abour him being a dad before Henry is born.. it always makes me realize how the enternet has allowed us to alter some of your time percepetion.

[@anonfromebaumsworld]

"I wanted to see if I could make a book that never stopped being funny and never stopped being serious" >The Fault in Our Stars

[@TheConnorBennett]

The Sequel? Amazing how far The Fault in Our Stars came from early ideas. I'm guessing An Imperial Affliction was in some way supposed to be the first book?

[@MissStreetdancer16]

that's what I was thinking!

[@zimmawoman]

Zero dislikes. Nerdfighter power!

[@bleedingsunshine13]

I love how he says that death is "almost guaranteed".

[@demonsrun425]

@vlogbrothers The thing about Paper Towns is that the book takes place almost entirely in Q's head. That the whole point of the book is that Margo, in her presence and in her abscence, changes him from the inside out. It's so hard to portray that in a movie, especially the profundity in which the change is displayed. And whatever happened to 'The Sequel'? That is a very interesting prospect for a book.

[@luchilenium]

Wow, I'm glad I found this :) (From his wikipedia page) Good stuff, very funny. I'm seeing him in 10 days!

[@besttheeverhappy]

so is Augustus a manic pixie dream boy? I approve

[@hobbi31t]

The sequel? OMG is that what ended up turning into TFIOS?

[@shannongurl992]

This dude is so refreshing. It's hard to find a YA book nowadays that isn't completely recycled, cliched, The CW/WB crap *cough*StephanieMeyer*cough*. He should really be bigger than he actually is as far as fame goes. But I guess if your character isn't an abusive glittering pedo or a hair psuedo Native American pedo or the very definition of Mary Sue in it's truest form, you don't matter today.

[@Mr83nn0]

I think they talk about what Stephen King said about the Twilight books.

[@PadfootLivesFree]

@JackShafferProject Is "The Sequel" really the same story as The Fault in Our Stars????

[@TheARobb21]

I'm sure someone has already told you this, but no it does not. John ended up scrapping "The Sequel" and started writing TFioS. The two are unrelated.

[@raver2be]

I'm really torn by the fact that John thinks movies should be drastically different than the books on which they're based. I love all of his books, so I would hate to see a movie of the same title with a different plot. However, it also means a new John Green story.

[@TxaiFolly]

but the sequel idea is still there with "An imperial affliction"

[@final_friday]

it's not called the sequel ;)

[@ScarletBrier1911]

I believe Augustus is known as a "Manic Pixie Dream Boy" but the concept is still the same.

[@CoolInMyOwnWay]

"Maybe if you had a child" and then a month and 9 months later he has a child.

[@Meatytheburrito]

@CaitysRAWR No, he changed the tittle because he though it would be too confusing.

[@PadfootLivesFree]

@dirksdame Oh, okay. Thanks!

[@Tigermond1]

It's kind of strange that a 37-year-old man is the person in the world I can most identify with, regarding that I'm a 15-year-old girl. Like, his reaction at 1:01. I just love him for that. :D

[@CaitysRAWR]

is 'The Sequel' 'The Fault in Our Stars'? because if not i would like John to make 'The Sequel'

[@dynorawrgirl]

Does anyone know what Stephen King said about Looking for Alaska?

[@azerskater]

@CaitysRAWR No it's not a sequel to paper towns

[@christopherhollis2752]

hmmm, I think it's based off of that trope but Hazel never fully goes with his world view and always prefers when he is just a normal person

[@lonely22angel]

@loto159 you reminded me of chandler of friends.

[@pokemonmaster181818]

@shannongurl992 if you are not a nerdfighter allready, you need to be one!

[@AloeWildii]

It's interesting that John is so against a Looking For Alaska movie here. Didn't he say that the screenplay that was written made him cry?

[@SarahBloom]

@untitledmusicproject ahhh my fault for not actually counting the months... i just kinda guestimated it. haha :P

[@nerdsrsocoollike]

AHA! But it wasn't called "The Sequel" after all...

[@CaitysRAWR]

@azerskater never thought it was.... :p

[@LPSland4444]

NERDFIGHTERS FTW

[@pokemonmaster181818]

@shannongurl992 if you are not a nerdfighter allready, you need to be one! Please.

[@stude444]

The sequel....lol

[@BeBopALula1]

Why does John cross himself while talking about the movie?

[@gravityvertigo13579]

Notice at 3:50 how he makes a special effort not to say "that's what life is"? It's such an awful and simple thing to say, I'm glad he caught himself :P

[@williusethis]

:( no, it's not coming out in 2010

[@SarahBloom]

Hah it's funny when he mentions the kid thing, cause wasn't his wife pregnant with Henry at this time?

[@serasviktoria]

what did king say ?

[@SarahBloom]

@loto159 No.

[@musicalgeek24]

No dislikes FTW. :)

[@BillyxRansom]

it isn't, though.

[@HeartComedyDoll]

The interviewer is kind of annoying..he keeps imposing on John's awesomeness..

[@Katarzyna93cr]

what had stephen king said?

[@EasyBeezey]

I dont really think they should make a movie....

[@MagolinH]

God. I've BEEN the manic pixie dream girl, like, eight times. Unintentionally. Bleh.

[@heatherhorsecat]

Spoilers!!

[@SSClov]

Lies! TFiOS

[@theuntaughteacher]

hilariously not confident....LOL

[@Katarzyna93cr]
