Twilight, Cameron Richardson, Bush

Okay, so I finally watched Twilight, albeit not exactly in a theater.

Let’s just say I saw it “somehow”, and get to what matters – what did I think?

In comparison to the book, it’s far superior. In comparison to other movies, it was far inferior.

I know that’s not very specific, but it’s no less true. The movie wasn’t horrible, but it was bogged down by an obvious attempt to stick to the source material.

Had they moved farther away from the book than they did, it would’ve been decent. Like, maybe just keep the names, and do everything else differently?

Another movie I watched this weekend was Alvin and the Chipmunks – the live-action one from last year.

You know I like “nice” things, so this was totally watchable for me, especially since the girl in Alvin and the Chipmunks was someone named Cameron Richardson.

Really weird, because she was awesome in this movie, but the Google search shows she looks a little different when she’s not in Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I mean, she’s still really good looking and all, but when she’s in non-Alvin and the Chipmunks material, it’s just not the same.

I don’t know – maybe it’s because all her non-Alvin and the Chipmunks material sees her in the role of “slut” or “seductive slut” or “regretful slut”. She does sweet and nice really well, as seen in Alvin and the Chipmunks – her agent should push for those roles.

Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Anyway, what else is going on in the world on this Monday?

Someone threw a shoe at President Bush over in one of those Middle Eastern countries. I thought he took it really well – he seemed to actually think it was funny.

What struck me as significant was that no Secret Service Agents came to the scene for about 30 seconds.

Like, the guy was able to get two shoes launched before they even got anywhere near him. I think he would’ve had time for a third, as well.

I wish I had more to say that was funny, but I think peaked with the Christmas Child, with his pretty eyes and his Christmas Smile.

I feel like it can only go down from there?
