I missed a few weeks again... dang it I really suck at doing this T_T But I must rant now, or else it'll just pile up, so here goes!
First up: Twilight. As people already know, the movie came out on November 21st (my birthday) and earned $60 million in the box office the first weekend. Even though the book series by Stephanie Meyer were pretty much an instant hit despite the shallowness of the characters, the movie didn't fair as well with critics. Well, actually professionals didn't really think the book was all that either, it was just different from the stuff that you see on the bookshelves in stores nowadays. But basically, the movie sucked. It got a 44% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (I checked), yet I actually went to see it. Stupid me. At least my sister paid for my ticket or else it would've been an absolute waste of $10. The main characters had absolute NO chemistry. And Robert Pattinson's ugly. Extremely ugly. Stupid fangirls giggling all over the place in the theatre. The setting and everything was pretty nice, but the characters weren't exactly portrayed very well. Kristen Stewart sucked too, she totally ruined Bella. And I have a bone to pick with Nikki Reed. Rosalie just isn't that fat! Or at least not that wide at the hips, jeez. Jasper also looked kinda stoned the whole time, it was funny. Oh, and don't forget the fan in Biology class. That was a total epic failure. Basically, Meyer's characters are totally under-developed and she really needs to work on creating some more dynamic characters. I mean really, Edward's hot, we get it. Just move on already! Bella doesn't really need to harp on about how amazingly godlike her boyfriend is, I think we understood that during the first two sentences. *Takes a deep breath* Okay I think I'm done with that.
If you really want to watch a good movie, go try WALL-E. I know it's a bit old, but I only just watched it last week and it was AWESOME. WALL-E was sooooo cute! The way he says "Eva!" all the time and picking up random junk and putting them in his little cubbies at home =) If you've watched and really liked Disney/PIXAR movies then this one is really good too!
Woot December! It's Christmas soon! Darn I have to start getting people Christmas presents. Wahhh my money's getting really depleted from all my online shopping. Well, not really, just the cash. I still have $2000+ in the bank, but that doesn't count. I really need to go find a job soon, that might make things a bit better. Oh and I guess I should pressure my parents to actually give me my allowance sometime, they forget a lot.
I'm also depleted of manga right now. I finished reading Yu Yu Hakusho (finally). Now I've got nothing left to read... I've basically read everything that I was interested in. Dang, I probably need a new hobby on the computer now, or else it'll be too boring and I'll have to resort to playing Pokemon Silver on my Gameboy Color (don't laugh, I've got 137 Pokemon ALL above Level 30! That took a lot of work, I've played 135+ hours since August). Aww man I just realized that I have no life ><
I thought I had more to rant about, but apparently not because I can't think of anything. Oh, and for those who want to know, my Christmas giftwrapping schedule this year:
Saturday December 20, 7:30-11:00PM
Monday December 22, 6:00-11:00PM
Wednesday December 24, 2:00-6:00PM
So... I'm guessing I probably won't be updating for a while again, unless I feel motivated to do so. I'm way too lazy for my own good =P
