Lemony Snicket (UPDATE)

I saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events yesterday, and I must say it was quite a good film. But there's one down side... It doesn't go by the books. It completely skips Book the Sixth, The Ersatz Elevator. When they lived in the Squalor's (Penthouse) Apartment at 667 Dark Avenue. Also, in the movie it shows the Baudelaire’s bringing their Aunt Josephine to the market, and they bump into “Captain Sham”. Then they go back to find that Aunt Josephine has thrown herself out the window, or has she? But in the book, The Wide Window, When they come home from the market they do not discover that Aunt Josephine has descended into the depths of Lake Lachrymose until much later. When they come home (from the market), they are surprised because the phone rings and Violet picks it up. (It’s Captain Sham), She hangs up and says that it was someone asking for some dance school. Then the phone rings again and Aunt Josephine picks up, because she dares herself to. She said that it must not be that dangerous if Violet used it and survived. (Because Aunt Josephine is terrified of everything!) Some more stuff happens, and a while into the book they find that the gigantic window, overlooking Lake Lachrymose is shattered and that their dear Aunt Josephine had jump out and left them (the three Baudelaire children) to Captain Sham. But, Klaus relies that the suicide note is not a suicide note at all, it’s a message. Klaus realized, while reading the letter that there are grammatical errors in it. All Aunt Josephine cared about was grammar, so why would she miss spell words in her suicide note? He corrects the spelling errors, and takes each letter from it (For example Aunt Josephine said in the letter “as cold as Ike”. So Klaus knew she meant as cold as ice, and took the “c” from it. So he did with every other miss spelt word.) And he came up with “Curdled Cave”, which was Aunt Josephine’s hiding spot. She hadn’t really thrown herself out the window, she faked her death. Because when she picked up the phone that night, it was Captain Sham. He told her that the orphan’s where telling the truth, that day at the market. He really is Count Olaf…
