Holidays. woohoo... -__-

holidays are here, and i've nothing better to do, so excuse the lack of enthusiasm. That said, i was actually bored enough to decide to ruin this blog, by actually talking about something. anything.

movies. what news have we in movies? there are two that pop into mind (because of giant posters at a certain mall), the new 007 movie, "Quantum of Solace", and "Twilight". so let's start there. I've not much to say about 007, except that i'm quite looking forward to it. Just like the previous one tackled issues of terrorism, this one is said to revolve around environmentalism. if i'm not mistaken, that is.\

Twilight. i'm not a fan of the series yet (someone please get me an english copy), but i've heard a lot of good things about it. definitely looking forward to reading it. but my experience with book-to-novel adaptations haven't been very pleasant, so i think i'll go for the movie first.

Speaking of which, what is it with studios these days? Adapting stuff so soon after they're published? Or is it just that i'm behind on the news? Honestly, i don't think three years is enough time to come up with a good enough adaptation, but then again, call me a pessimist. I mean, look at the Harry Potter movies. Not that they were (all) bad.. as a single movie series they work quite well, i suppose, but they could've been better. There are so many things that end up being dropped from the movie, that it's barely an adaptation.
I mean, why not wait until at least the whole things finished? then you could wrap the thing up properly, give the fans what they deserve. And mind you, Harry Potter isn't the only one. There are many other book-to-screen adaptations that were disappointing, like Eragon. The others are mostly local movies, so i won't even bother mentioning them.

I've suddenly and utterly run out of things to talk about, so that's it for now.
