Eclipsed

I may have ranted quite a bit in my last post despite my plan to merely express an opinion. Someone from another site discussing the Twilight saga commented that all the bashing is uncalled for. It’s true that a person should not apologize for finding delight in reading a book even if other people hated it (and this is true for most things that are a matter of taste). To tell you the truth, I only read mostly romance novels, both in English and in Tagalog, for the entirety of my high school years. I even read Tagalog komiks and real-life love stories in tabloids (not the sleazy kind, if you’ll take my word) back then. My point is … uhm maybe I don’t have a good point: It is what it is. I didn’t like what I have perceived this book series to be.  

But whatever arguments are made, they will be eclipsed by the fact that people will still flock the cinemas; the first few days  from New Moon’s opening are a testament to how big this franchise has already become. If you’re planning to go to the movie houses anytime soon with a bunch of people, make sure to have a text alert system so you won’t lose each other. In the meantime, I leave you with this funny spoof of the original New Moon trailer.
