Twilight-related news & 6th quote

What is going on? The whole twilight saga franchise with Summit Entertainment is moving towards to the direction of being thoroughly screwed up.

I love the whole of Twilight saga and everything. But this fiasco, that don't seem to be stopping, is seriously provoking me, or should I say us.

These are all rumours but you never know when it's becoming every Twilighter's worst nightmare. US$50 million budget for New Moon movie. Summit Entertainment to hire Chris Weitz (The Golden Compass) as the shepherd for New Moon movie. Taylor Lautner aka Jacob getting replaced. What is seriously going through Summit's mind!?

US$50 million budget is way too little for any movie, especially one that needs special effects. And I don't think Summit Entertainment can only fork out that little money. For god's sake, Twilight movie made more than US$150 million in 3 weeks in USA.

I've never watch The Golden Compass but from what people say, the movie adaptation was way off from the book. But the special effects are quite cool. Please, if there's someone who should be replaced, is the scriptwriter for Twilight.

Taylor Lautner can't be replaced. He's great! I really hate it when a cast is replaced in the middle of films.

Now that mid-semester tests are over, I can worry about this more. Perhaps, I should just take a few steps back and let what is going happen, happened. I'm a mere fan and being, what I say and object won't change anything. I should probably let the "professionals" do their "magic". But how they deal with this problem is going to affect the fans.

Naturally, most fans will still watch whatever the quality of Twilight films churn out by Summit. I'm no exception, I will watch them, criticise them, maybe dislike them, and yet buy the DVDs. Well, if Summit is going risk the support of the entire fandom of Twilight by providing us with low-budget and poorly-made movies, then I've nothing much to say.

I was lucky enough to catch the review of Twilight movie on CNA PrimeTime Morning in the bus
on the way to school. I was really excited to see it. However, like most media personnel and non-readers of Twilight, the way she reviewed the movie was exactly the way that make fans mad.

It was laughable to read all the outraged comments on http://twilightsingapore.com/2008/12/12/cna-primetime-morning-zoom-in-reviews-on-twilight/#comments . I've read plenty of outraged comments on fan sites but this is the 1st time I read something like that in a Singapore-based fan site.

Such poor knowledge of "what's going on". If a person have no background knowledge on something, then don't review and thus making a target of yourself for no reason.

Another Twilight-related news, I had this dream recently. I was in a bus, and saw a Twilight poster on the advertisement stand in one of the bus-stops. I got really excited and I think went down to take a picture of it. And the dream, sadly ended.

PS: Woohoo! Mid-semester tests are finally over! Getting the results is another thing altogether. Now, I'll more time to do the things I want, like making that banner I've been brainstorming on.

"Marry me first"
"Okay. What's the punch line?"
"You're wounding my ego, Bella. I just proposed to you, and you think it's a joke."
"Edward, please be serious."
"I am one hundred percent serious."
"Oh, c'mon, I'm only eighteen."
"Well, I'm nearly a hundred and ten. It's time I settled down." ~New Moon, pg 540, hardcover.

End of Mid-semester tests

End of Mid-semester tests. Not the grand finale I expected.

Business Accounting 2 paper was alright? I got some parts wrong though. Hoping that at least I can get a B.

Marketing paper was a killer to me. This is probably the last time I will do something so risky. I won't leave it to the last minute to study a subject.

During that 5 hours break after Accounting paper, we went to the library to study Marketing. Anyway, I just studied those things that the lecturer told us "will" come up. True, it helped me a little.

When I saw the last page in the paper, I was totally stunned. I could not remember about the 5 dimensions and the whole of social responsibility. Actually, it was in the surface of my mind, because I was wondering if the 3 concepts of social responsibility was societal, stakeholders and profit. I even wrote them down in my question paper. The big problem was, I wrote something else in my answer book. Gah!

I hope I can at least pass my Marketing...
