David and I went to see Speed Racer tonight. Well, truth be told, I went to see the
Twilight Teaser Trailer on the big screen. Which might I add, was really really so much better than the video. You really get a full experience. And the girl next to D gasped when she saw that it was Twilight and she talked with her friend about the books. But back to Speed Racer. I am a huge Emile Hirsch fan and I wanted to be surprised and like this movie. I did find it to be the most colorful film I've ever seen. The graphics were amazing... but I just didn't care. I was bored. And it surprised me because it had a really good cast; Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, Christina Ricci--who's too old for Emile, Scott Porter and Matthew Fox. I thought it would tickle me at least. But really in the end I just felt disenchanted. So much for Joel Silver wowing me. Wachowski Brothers or no, it was may just too aimed at the PG-13 crowd.
Last night I watched a terrible show with Robert Pattinson and Julian Sands in it called The Haunted Airman. It was confusing and really quite boring. It was about a chain smoking, paranoid, war veteran and in the end... well I won't give it away. Someone might be sad enough to want to watch it.
I have been reading Stardust the last few days. It's a little book and
it shouldn't be taking me so long but I'm hypomanic and I am having
trouble with concentration. I figure this has been my problem the last
week and because it's very different experience while medicated then it
is normally, I didn't really notice what was going on. I'm enjoying it
but I can't stand the witch. I want to skip her parts. I love Septimus
though. I find the Star annoying. I sort of hope that Victoria marries
a chud farmer while Tristran is gone. I guess I am just sort of evil
like that. I just think he's very silly about a girl that doesn't deserve him.
Tomorrow D and I are going to Torrance to pick up my tickets to the Stephenie Meyer book signing on 22 May. I am hoping to get my Twilight book signed while we are there. I paid the money they should let me get whatever book I want signed. I plan to ask tomorrow while we are there. I also want to ask if they plan to do a book release party for Breaking Dawn in August. It's kind of far to go at midnight. I would rather go to one up here but I haven't been able to find anyone with thoughts for a book release party then.

After I finish the book we can finally watch the movie. Which I hope will be better than The Haunted Airman and Speed Racer.
boo to Speed Racer not being that good.
i bet the Twiligh trailer looked awesome in the theater but i think it would have made me sad because it's so goddamn short.
Oh man, The Haunted Airman is soooo bad. I've only watched the first 30 min about. I think I'm going to finish it by watching a clip now and then when I need a Rob fix. I'm sad enough. :)
Borders Hollywood said they're doing a midnight release party but they didn't know what, beyond staying open till midnight, they were doing for it because it was "so far away". So I dunno.
The trailer looked so good on the big screen. It looked so much better. The sound was surround sound and it felt more cinematic.
Yay for midnight release parties in Hollywood. So much closer than Torrance.
I'm happy there's one in Hollywood, I just hope they have fun stuff going on like some of the other ones.
