a 100 pound girl

my sister told my mom that she wants to become a vegetarian. i suggested that my mom cook brussel sprouts with squash just for her and no one else. she laughed at what i said and waved me off. i don't think she realized i was being serious. every day at the dinner table, my parents ask my sister if she wants more food and her response is "no" every time. i think they're real worried about her because she's taking a gym class right now and her weight is dropping and she stresses out about school more than she should. once, i caught her standing in the bathroom trying to see how far her jeans would move away from her stomach. i realized that the jeans that fit her in 10th grade are a lot bigger now. she told me she doesn't like eating which has forced me to believe that she's from neptune because no one on earth does not not like eating. there's no such thing. i also think that my mom is going to start hand feeding her so that she can observe the amount my sister eats. did i mention that we're twins who have a 20 lb weight difference?

new moon

i watched new moon on the twentieth of november at the 8:45 showing and i thought it was better than the first. it's improved from twilight but i had a huge problem with the camera work and the background score. first of all, it's kind of weird watching edward standing awkwardly in a corner while bella and jacob talk. they should've just cut him out. then, there were those slow motion scenes that had everyone in the theater cringing and laughing. oddly enough, every scene with the camera work being a fail had edward in them. also, carter burwell did a lot better with the twilight score than alexandre desplat with new moon. burwell's music was eerie and definitely defined twilight. if i were to listen to it on the radio, i'd be able to pick it out (not because i've listened to it 500 times already). yeah, i know desplat did the golden compass score and chris weitz directed that but honestly, who can listen to that on the radio and say, "hey, that's the golden compass!" if you're one of those people then i don't know you. so my point is that summit entertainment should have stayed consistent with the score because even though desplat's music was great, it is not twilight-like.

anyway, the acting skills have improved a lot and even though i like ashley greene, she needs to stop smiling in the melodramatic scenes because they aren't supposed to be funny. i thought kristen stewart has definitely improved as bella. taylor lautner is skilled. robert pattinson is starting to become a convincing edward cullen. the scene where he crushed the cell phone was brilliant.

overall, the special effects were convincing and weitz did a better job than catherine hardwicke but i still like twilight. i was surprised to find out that majority of women who like twilight actually prefer hardwicke's adaptation than weitz's. i can see where they're coming from. i'm a hardcore team edward fan and all of the edward and bella scenes were rushed. i didn't feel convinced about them but then again, i just have to read the book.

right now, i'm counting down the days until eclipse and i hope that david slade can accomplish making it into a worthy movie. it's just six months away.
