This is what it's like for me...

to watch a perfectly good book made into a movie.



Okay, let me explain. Everyone has seen The Never Ending Story. (If you haven't then I do not suggest you watch it as an adult for the first time because you'll just think it is stupid. You have to watch it with childish innocence to grasp the wonderfulness of it. Sorry, you just missed out...sucks to be you.) Okay, so everyone has seen this movie. You just watched a 6 minute rendition of all the events with none of the feeling or emotion behind them. If someone doesn't know the story already, and they see that, they are only more confused. If someone does know the story, they watch this and then laugh because it is cheesy and well, funny. This is how I felt after watching Twilight (just as an example). Catherine Hardwick, I felt like you took all the story out of Twilight and just showed me cheesy clips of the highlights. There I said it. And even though C.H. isn't directing New Moon, she set the precedent and it's going to be just as bad. But I will still go see it cause there are hot...hawt werewolves in it.

Ok the pretzel and all things involving the ivory tower had me laughing sooooo hard! That and the dog. :D

Yeah, New Moon is gonna suck . . . ha. ha. ha. . . . but you're right, at least we got those werewolves--especially the one on the far left. sigh.

I love the creative use of paper plates and the pretzel is priceless. I used to watch this movie over and over again. I think Erica resented the title because I took it literally.

I know. I know! Why can't I just say no to seeing what I know will be a terrible movie? Why why why? Oh well. I'm done fighting it.

I'm still holding out hope that New Moon won't suck as bad as Twilight. However, I will still go see it and even buy it on DVD no matter what.
