Meiszus's Musings

Ok, so I can understand the book being good (I don't know, I haven't read it), but the movie was awful. Amanda convinced me to watch it over the weekend, we got it on Netflix, so I figured I wouldn't feel guilty if I just turned it off, or left the room, but I couldn't. Much like driving slowly past an accident on the freeway, when you see a white sheet over something on the ground, you can't help but look. However, in this case, it wasn't just the white sheet, it was a decapitated body with blood flowing from the gaping wound. I couldn't pull myself away.
You would think, given the success of the books, that the studio would have invested a little bit of money in the movie and produced a decent screenplay, but they didn't. The entire thing was so low budget that I couldn't help laughing to myself numerous times throughout the movie. Oh, did I mention the acting was atrocious too.
Anyway, if you are looking for a good movie to watch, steer very clear of Twilight, but if you are looking for a movie to make fun of, I would probably still steer clear of this one, but you can make a lot of fun of it.

So, I got an email today from a fellow student. This email informed me that there are only about 5 weeks of classes left. I don't have any finals this semester, I just have a couple of papers (3 of them short 2-3 page papers) and a trial to do. It will be a lot of work before I am done, but the end is near. In just under two months I will have a JD, but unfortunately this is the worst time to graduate from school. No one is hiring. So, I guess it is a time for joy at being done, and a time for fear at not having a job for after graduation. Anyway, wish me luck.

I thought this was pretty funny.
