Lessee...I watched Twilight about an hour ago. I'd give it a C. Minus.
When I think about it, the film company who took this project on, more or less, had some serious balls. Making a movie out of this decade's Best Seller phenomenon, inspite of the fact that they are inferior morsels compared the the Hollywood giants (i.e. New Line Cinema, etc...) is considered major big-talk. Like cussing out a thug in the middle of the street while all you have is half a bottle of mountain dew and he has a Mac-10 and a Swiss Army Knife. Well let's discuss some of the details of the movie:
1) Casting:
Kristen Stewart plays Bella in the movie. When I first found out she was going to be in the movie, my fisrt reaction was ":O SHE'S PERFECT!" Hahahaha....eh....-___- When i saw the movie today, I was gravely disappointed. She was so....emo. That's the simplest way i could put it. If i wasn't so lazy I could conjure up a million different reasons why she's now number one on my "to-stalk-and-kill" list. I hated her acting; she killed the part for me, so i feel it's my duty to go and avenge bella Swan.
Robert Pattinson is the mysteriously tantalizing Edward(....?) I thought he was pretty good at pulling off the "pretty boy" character as well as the "i don't wanna kill you, but I can't stay away from you" kinda thing....and then there's the bipolar "good guy/bad guy" stuff. Overall, he did a better job than Kristen; but it wasn't enough for the both of them. But the thing that irritated me the most about him was his voice. I knew he was trying to cover up his british accent, but he kinda made it sound like Frank Sinatra. Imagine that and Scarface put together (well, not really, but what i'm trying to say is that he sounded pretty sleazy.)
The Cullen Family: (idk what their real names are)
Rosalie is butt ugly, but she was exactly how i though Rosalie in the book should act. Kudos!
Alice is perfect; exactly how I imagined her
Emmett hada pretty small part, but from what i've seen they did a good job of casting him.
Jasper was pretty good at the speaking parts in the movie, but other than that, he stalked around behind Alice more or less like a classic Frankenstein.
Carlisle looked great, not exactly the way i imagined him though (haha...i actually cracked up when I found out he kinda looked like Owen Wilson from the side) but he sounded really...shady. Like that bodyguard from Princess Diaries.
Esme was very nice; I liked the way she characterized the whole "maternal" kinda thing.
Laurent'S Coven:
Laurent is black. Smack me in the head if you knew that was mentioned in the book, but as far as i know,he was white in my imagination (NOT BEING RACIST.) But i think that was totally out of character; I mean, he looked like he was drafted into Twilight when he was supposed to be in Pirates of the Carribean.
James actually turned out better than i expected.
Vitoria....eh... i didn't really try to put much thought into her; but i kinda made her look like Bree from desperate housewives or Jean Grey from X men
Plot:
one word: EPIC FAIL.
Everything was mixed up, and things that i really wanted to see on screen was left out. (I am the most afflicted being that roams the planet TT^TT) But I kinda expected it, considering the company didn't have enough money to make a fullfour-hour in-detail book-related movie. So I can sympathize....BUT ONLY To A POINT. IM STILL KIDNa MAD.But seriously, i mean, Lord of the Rings based it on the book at the cost of an extra hour or so added to the movie's length , and they hauled home 11 or somethign academy awards...maybe future movies should take the same advice
And that's it in a nutshell. I think I might have liked it better if I was watching George Clooney, Matt Damon, Leonardo Dicaprio, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchette, and the entire cast of Lord of the Rings read straight out of the book...I think it would have had alot more gusto than what i watched today...lol jk.

Propaganda
Thinking Aloud
I am going to play a point and click game about sea creatures....
nah im kidding, but i think i really need a break from all this crap about school and finals.
Oh my gosh, i forgot that i, going to a Cure concert pretty soon. It's gonna be my first one, so you guys can send as many good luck gifts as you want.
I want to get to the venue as early as possible and open up the trunk of my van. I'll bring a boombox and turn up Rick Astley real loud.
Click Here for a video
Did u watch the video yet?
Ok, good.
HHAHAHAHA! You've been rickrolled sooo bad!
ANYWAY, i was thinking about bringing a few socks that were ironed out so they look like the socks in the In Between Days video so if i meet them as they're going into the venue, they can sign it. But i doubt ill see them. They must have to park they're bus as close to the entrance as possible so they don't have very far to walk...even then they'd probably ave to dart in and out of bushes to avoid being pummeled by fans. They probably did that in the past, but now they're getting a little too old for that kind of light-footed sneaking...so now i guess they act like crabby old men...like "OMG! We're so tired of all this running! Why don't you just walk in like civilized beings and watch us play ON STAGE like you came here to do?? *to security* Rex, fetch us the chariot! *security hands them riding crops* Onward my golden band of stallions!"
So yeah...it's gonna be an awesome experience

FrEaKiShLy HaPpY CaRtOoNs FrEaKiNg EvErYwHeRe
OKAY! WHO WAS THE FOOL WHO CAME UP WITH THIS?? This is the most pathetic, wallowing excuse of a kids TV show i've EVER seen!
FIRST OF ALL:
WHAT THE FRIGGIN' CRAP?
SECOND OF ALL:
THE STUPID ANIMALS ARE MADE OUT OF WORDS. THE DOGS HEAD IS A "D" FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
THE MUSIC SUCKS! YEAH, ITS TIME TO FRICKIN' BUILD A WORD. GO AHEAD AND SING UR LETTER ASSES OFF.
*****CHARACTERS:
1) SHEEP: the supposed actress of word world. She stutters. According to wikipedia, "Much of what constitutes "stuttering" cannot be noted by the listener; this includes such things as sound and word fears, situational fears, anxiety, tension, self-pity, stress, and shame."
2) PIG: the only animal who cooks in all of word world. He hosts his own TV show...apparently the ONLY TV show in word world. He makes corn by putting C-O-R-N in a pot and watching it materialize. Go friggin figure.
3)FROG: he collects boxtops. He invented the shoe apparently, and he his ego is as big as pigs butt of lard.
4) BUG: he lives in Frogs mailbox. If he was a human being i wonder how successful a hobo he'd be.
5)BEAR: the tomboy i guess, the only thing that'd tell you she was a girl are the eyelashes and her purple bow. Like a messed up-roseanne version of minnie mouse.
6)ANT: Pig's "best friend" .... o.o
7)DOG: the animals' best friend. He lives in a HOUSE all by himself...who gave him that right??? Bug's living in a mailbox, geez!
8)DUCK: why did he tell people he was illiterate? It's word world, saying you can't read is like straight to the gallows, good sir.
So yeah, giving talking animals (who might as well be matched up to human intelligence) the ability to make anything they want by just pushing letters together is...geez, wat are you thinking?! what if dog one day decides he wants to find out what G-R-E-N-A-D-E spells?
**ON A SIDE NOTE: hey guys, i know i haven't been posting up many blog entries lately, it's just my last post of Chris Crocker had knocked me out of sense and wit for however many months now...nah just kidding. Anyway, i'll be trying to post up more entries as soon as i can.
