Buy Or Don’t Buy

Okay, I’ve become obsessed. Twilight is a horrible book that is bad for womens’ rights and written by a Mormon that I haven’t read. The movie, which my friends and fans of the book aren’t down with and that teeny boppers are all about, has become one of my latest gossip-craving obsessions.

The first movie was awful, the camera would just pan away from the characters, there would be montages instead of valuable information. And, it was filled with plotholes. I hear the books just get creepier and creepier, which means the movies will undobutely get worse and worse. Bad movies equals 2 hour giggle and eye-rolling fest! Hooray.

A few months/weeks/some time ago, rumor had it that Vanessa Hudgens  (from High School Music and nude internet photo fame) was going to join the cast as a werewolf. (Yes, werewolf. Van Helsing much?) But that turned out to be only a rumor. And then another fact about the movie surfaced. The director, Catherine Hardwicke, a director I normally like, got kicked off the project. She made a horrible movie, and she said it was because the studio only let her make a horrible movie. I believe it.

So now while casting is pretty set with the Hair Hottie and Boring Pot Head, the new director has yet to be named. So here comes a new rumor that my obsession searched out.

Drew Barrymore.

Not only has she gone down hill drastically since E.T, with a spike in the graph for Ever After and The Wedding Singer, but she recently played a fag hag who can’t get a date without using technolgic trickery (in He’s Just Not That Into You).

The company is talking to a select group of directors — including actress-turned-helmer Drew Barrymore, EW has learned. While this news may come as a surprise to some, Barrymore did just finish work on her directorial debut, Whip It! starring Ellen Page. (source)

First of all, dropping the name of Ellen Page does not mean anything. It certainly does not mean something is a good movie. Secondly, Drew Barrymore is rumored to have made out with Ed Westwick. That made me reconsider my love for Chuck Bass momentarily. And last of all, really? Sure, teeny boppers won’t notice the different between a poorly shot film compared to a horribly crappy directed film, but what about the rest of us? If there isn’t a way to create a drinking game to this film, then Twilight, I might not stick around for the end of the trilogy.

Who am I kidding? I’ll totally go see it… something about a vampire baby and claws…
