Speaking Volumes

Did anyone else hear that New Moon was coming out in theaters tonight?

Of course you did! No one can escape the Twilight vortex.

I have not read New Moon. I did listen to Twilight (you can see my post from July). I also tried to watch the movie Twilight.  I thought I would like the movie since I assumed it would have all sorts of cool special effects. Alas, I did not like the movie any better than the book – don’t hate me! I thought the Cullen’s face make-up was way too white and powdery looking, and the special effects, especially during the sparkling in the sun scene, was L-A-M-E.

I think this is as sparkly as it got folks:

Seriously? No one knows these people are vampires?!?! Look how pale they are:

Talk amongst co-workers this morning informed me that there is a new director for New Moon, so maybe New Moon will be better. I know that Jacob Black will play a huge role in this movie…and he’ll be mostly shirtless, thereby ensuring lots of teenage girl appeal. In the end I’m not sure if it matters how good or bad the movie is, I think it will draw huge crowds and make mountains of money anyways.

I DO want to see the new movie Precious, based on the book Push, by Sapphire.

Wow, I sure sound negative. Let me try to lighten this post up a bit…

Happy Friday everyone! The sun is out! Have a great weekend!
