Twilight

is a waste of time unless you read the book. So, I still have to read the book to know if it is also a waste of time. But seriously, as a vampire fan, Edward is the most horrible one in existence. He shines like diamonds in daylight when he shouldn't even go out (and honestly he doesn't even look beautiful like that). Plus, the actor is english! What did they do with his english accent?! That would've been my only reason to like the movie. Yeah I know that the whole world-wide Twilight community and Edward-obsessed-teens will wanna kill me. I am, however, a night person. I have insomnia and like the idea of vampires. But seriously, even William Beckett as the dandy-vampire boss (and Brendon Urie and Mike Carden themselves!) in the FOB video is more inviting than Edward. Of course, this opinions are totally personal, if you wanna hunt me down and kill me you're welcome, but do know I will fight back, and if you think you're a vampire then you're just making my job easier. And that was just ridiculous...

Ghost Town is another movie I watched this afternoon. It's watchable only if you like New York in autumn colors. It is funny, and I would've laughed if I hadn't been in such a weird position on the couch, but I blame that on myself. I'll watch it again anyway. Plus Tea Leoni is in it and I've liked her since Jurassic Park 3. Or before that ... don't remember.

And, this other one called The Invasion. Nicole Kidman, you have, for the first time in my life, let me down. Seriously, chickenpox-alien-virus that can turn you into a fucking Pixie while you sleep when your body is in the REM state, and then next day you're all like. Hello. You Must Come With Us. It Is The Only Way To Be Happy. Do Not Refuse. This Is For Your Own Betterment. Humans spread this thing via vomit. Is there anything more ... disgusting than that? To be vomited on and then turn into a Pixie? (I'm talking about Fairy Oddparents). And at the end they finally come up with a cure because the little boy is immune and they use his blood to make it. Sorry again...

What's going on in Hollywood... or is it my problem? Maybe it's just me (I'm gonna start singing that Butch Walker song...) but ... ok I don't know. I really have no solution when it comes to movies. They're either too obvious or I can see the future. Which is most likely impossible. But they don't mean to make obvious movies either... like when there's a new album out and nobody likes it because it's too different than the other albums. But seriously, a band re-writing their last album is not something good. And that is the worst analogy I've ever come up with.

So it's me. I'm the problem once again :) I'm happy with Alien and Star Wars and Jurassic Park and Batman any Tim Burton film. Tarantino is welcomed too. American Psycho and... the kind of movies my older brother calls weird movies like the ones you and Gaby like. Gaby being my artistic beloved cousin who loves Michelle Gondry, as much as I do. Or probably more... but I do love watching movies. I even watched The Notebook! Though I hated my brother for telling me that it was good, but he's a sucker. And I'm a cold heart bitch.

As an utterly unrelated comment, I might add, I love the night. I love the moon, its light. And the stars. I have this memory, I'm not sure if it's real or it was a dream, but when I was a kid, say 4 years old I think, or maybe 5, we (me and my family) were traveling somewhere at night, and it was dark, and suddenly we stopped and we came out of the car... and the sky was full of stars... it was so beautiful... like some photoshopped pictures of the sky when it's exageratedly full of stars. Or like the sky would look like if you lived in the desert. It was amazing... but I can't recall if it was real or a dream... which kinda makes me sad, because it's probably the oldest vivid memory I have.

(and I'm dying to watch Half-Blood Prince)

It's not just you. It seems to me like 90% of new movies suck hardcore. And I don't think reading the Twilight books will redeem the horrible acting, writing, or filming that made the movie so painful to watch.
