Twilight: Eclipse

Okay, so I’m a huge fan of the Twilight series – not so much the movies, but definitely the books. The third movie in the series just came out and I just returned home from seeing it. It was… okay. The acting was horrendous, and they put everyone in this super thick makeup that was insane. Bella looked way too made up, like it was an attempt to make her look more attractive, but succeeded only in making her look like a drag queen. Plus, her eyebrows weren’t the same, and that is distracting. The acting from her was, as always, crappy. Slightly better than the last movie, but marginally. Edward acted… weird the whole time. I don’t know if they made him act differently or something, but the connection between him and Bella just wasn’t there. This is something that kind of bugs me about the series when they adapted it to film. When you read the books, it’s Edward all the way. You kind of feel bad for Jacob but not really because it’s so obvious that Edward and Bella are supposed to be tog...

World Cup

I love the World Cup. I have never really been a fan of soccer – probably because I’m an American. We, in general, hate soccer because we suck at it and the scores are always really low and it’s pretty boring. However, spend 20 or 30 minutes listening to guys talk about how the game is played and it suddenly becomes wicked interesting. Except off-sides. I still don’t get that. I highly encourage everyone to watch the World Cup – not so much this time because it’s almost over, but next time for sure. My favorite team is Argentina because they are awesome. Granted, they just got stomped by Germany REALLY bad and are out of the World Cup, but they still rock. America sucks at it, but who cares. It’s fun to watch and it’s like the Olympics, only the same game over and over. At first you get mad because nobody ever scores and sometimes the final score is 0-0. But you know what? When they DO score, it’s awesome and super exciting. You can’t say that about basketball because the score is like...

Lego Harry Potter, Twilight, LOST

This is the greatest game in the whole world. I love it!!! They did a great job making the game exactly like the movie, and Lego games are just way more fun than everything else. I will be seeing the new Twilight movie Eclipse tomorrow and will post a review soon after. I expect awesomeness, so let’s hope I’m not disappointed. LOST puzzles rock. Google them. There are four, and it’s a mystery. I’m still on the first one, but I’m feeling confident.

LOST: The Finale

Spoiler alert, first of all. For the whole post. So here’s the thing. It’s not like I expected all these answers or anything, but I did expect something… else. The way I figure it (and no, I haven’t read anything people have posted online yet), there are only a few possible scenarios: It’s all in Jack’s head. Jack gets flung into the jungle of the island when flight 815 crashes, and dies shortly after the crash. In his head, he concocts this whole storyline – or it’s a test. When you’re about to die, it’s like purgatory kind of, and you have to pass some test or something like that to decide whether or not you get into heaven or hell or whatever. Jack’s test is to redeem himself by choosing to sacrifice himself to save others and how he can put other people first and that he can’t always “fix” things. Anyway, in the few minutes that he’s alive after crashing, all of this stuff happens, he passes the test by choosing to become the protector of the island and sacrifice himself. And then ...

Grey's Anatomy

It’s not often that I’m surprised by stuff I see on TV anymore. But the season finale of Grey’s Anatomy was awesome. I actually jumped in shock. Awesome. I don’t want to give anything away, so watch it if you haven’t already cause it’s freaking sweet. They must really have low numbers if they’re willing to shoot so many characters lol. What is it, LOST? Lol. I also love that the crazy shooter is the guy who used to be the head of the secret service on The West Wing.

American Psycho

This book is fucked up. I only made it about halfway through and I stopped reading, and here’s why. First of all, this guy bitches for more of the book (that I read anyway) about clothes and what belt goes with what and all that – very OCD, very crazy. And he hangs out with his douchey friends and he idolizes Donald Trump because it’s set in the 1980s. So then, the author starts describing the gross and very detailed sex that he has with random people. Yuck. Watching a sex scene in a movie is one thing, reading one in a book is another and it’s disgusting and makes me want to vomit. I don’t know how people read romances novels and don’t barf all over the place. I like the word barf. Anyway, so once you get past the gross sex scenes (using the word dilated in a sex scene is not sexy it’s gross), then he starts killing people. Which I would think would be cool and fun to read because serial killers are awesome, but unfortunately, the first killing scene is him killing a bum. No biggie, b...

Red Dead Redemption

Okay, so have you ever played Grand Theft Auto? Of course you have, because you’re alive. Everyone has played that game or at least watched someone else play it for hours on end. Anyway, so if you know about the game you know that you can steal cars and stuff and beat up hookers and all that. It’s super addictive and awesome – especially because you can change the radio station when you’re driving. Fun! Anyway, there’s this new game out called Red Dead Redemption and it’s just like Grand Theft Auto only set in the in west in the 1880s or so. So like, you’re a cowboy, Tombstone-style and you ride a horse and have a duster coat and hang out in saloon and beat up whores in brothels in stuff. It’s awesome. I would highly recommend it. Not that I have played it really, but it’s a blast to watch, and is more asthetically pleasing to watch – especially for history nerds like us! And there are stage coaches! It’s seriously awesome. Ch-ch-check it out.
