OH SHIT IT’S A TWILIGHT ENTRY, GET IN THE CAR. The reviews are not good (43%!) for the preteen squee event of the year, but since when has that ever made a difference at the box office? At the very least, we can hold out hope that the movie is better than the book. Just remember, ladies: stalking is not romantic, even if the guy is hot (well, ‘hot’) and comes with a lifetime supply of built-in body glitter.
- Going to Mars, BRB. The Watchman legal battle continues. Or skip the serious stuff and get your lulz on with the condensed version.
- Embarrassment squicks. Harrison Ford still talking about Indy 5; Gossip Girl’s Josh Schwartz penning teen X-Men flick.
- Fun fact of the day: J. Michael Straczynski wrote Changeling?
- Trailers: Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, Astro Boy.
There are cleary not enough 14 year old reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes
What’s even funnier is that Changeling has some cool similarities to Babylon 5, even though they’re completely different genres.
Straczynski is going through a total career revival, it’s very exciting!
Oh, be nice. These are the Titanic-type audience whose devotion to this film will know no bounds.
And Star Wars slips further down the totals column….
Twilight better not end up at a Titanic level. while there are a lot of tween and teen aged girls (and older women) that will see it again and again – i’m not sure it quite has the same appeal as Titanic. i think there is a segment of the population that would not be interested in a vampire movie even if the boy is hot.
Last night’s south park made a lot of fun of kids dressing up as vampires… the goths got so sick of vampire wannabe kids, they burned down the Hot Topic.
