you think i think too much, i think we'll wait and see

So, Eclipse. I can't decide whether I actually thought it was a decent movie, or if I was just impressed at how huge an improvement over the book it is. cleolinda, as usual, has said pretty much everything that we're all thinking, so go just read that if you want to know what I thought about the movie.

But in all seriousness, guys, it's pretty entertaining. I know I've ranted - extensively - about this series, but I promise, there are actual fight scenes and everything.

Meanwhile, Avatar comes out this weekend...it currently has an 8% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and Roger Ebert started his review with the following words:

"The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented. The laws of chance suggest that something should have gone right. Not here. It puts a nail in the coffin of low-rent 3D, but it will need a lot more coffins than that.

He gave it half a star. Combine that with the racefail thing and...maybe I won't be going to see that one after all. (Edit: Here's probably my favorite review of the movie so far. Trust me, read it.)

Tomorrow's Friday - why do four-day weeks always feel more than a day shorter than five-day weeks? Weird. Anyway, off to finish my laundry and then to bed.

Woah, Howard Shore? What just happened? Glad you enjoyed it though!

Man, that Avatar review is awesome. The reviews are only solidifiying my reluctance to support the movie after the casting debacle, into a rock of "Never-ever going near this, how could they screw it up so bad, qq."

The song where the newborn vampire army is storming Forks is so LotR-esque, it's hilarious. It's a great soundtrack overall, though.

Yeah, that's pretty much my reaction to the whole Last Airbender thing at this point too...I was holding out hope that the movie itself would be okay despite the 'racebending', but apparently no.

(P.S. I swear I will write up a description of how cosplay went; I just keep forgetting!)

"Must create epicness," though Howard Shore as he wrote the music. ^^

Yeah, me too kind of, but then again, I find myself strangely pleased that it apparently sucks. XD

(There's... not really a rush, unless you feel like you'll forget! ^^)
