The Twilight Red Riding Hood--WHAT?

I recommend you to watch the trailer first before I can start my rant...



Now I may begin...

My first reaction was WOW. Why? Cuz this is my very first bedtime story. I remember holding this large storybook where the first story in it was "The Little Red Riding Hood." It had intricate and colorful pictures in it, and it even had an audio cassette tape which I rarely listen to because I am very much fond of reading than listening. LOL.

Automatically, this is one of my favorite classics when I was a kid.

So when I heard of the Hollywood film. I was actually positive to it. Well, you gotta thank Amanda Seyfried for starring in this film (I like her as an actress)--then I remembered that Hollywood sucks when it comes to revising stories from books and/or comics to movies. BUT, I was still positive. I mean, this is after all my very first bedtime story so I was hopeful that it's not going to suck.

And then, through the seconds passing along with the scenes in that 2-minute run of the trailer, I began to feel that "Twilight Vibe" because of the love triangle that it resembles from the Twilight movie. I commonly ignore this because this is my very first bedtime story turned into movie. Yes, I can be very optimistic too, until I saw this:

What the FUCK?! As if it isn't enough that Twilight (movies and books) is a disgrace to the Vampire and Werewolf world, they are going to humiliate a classic children's literature?

Seriously now, I mean Stephenie Meyer is such a bad author to have her glorified fan fiction stories made into movies and now this? What? Did Catherine Hardwicke who was the director of that freakin movie Twilight was really bored and bummed out of SMeyer's intellect that she opted to not direct the rest of the Twilight "supposed" saga and she now decides to recreate a classic into like Twilight but with a better story to tell?

My neverending trail of curses is running on and on in my mind and I will just have to stop cuz it will make more Twitards cry. Now I may hate them, but I have greater respect for living things. LOL.

So to prevent Hollywood from breaking my precious childhood memory into pieces, I'll be fatalistic like ye olde Capricorn I am ( No, I do not follow the new Zodiac). I will wait for it to come out and wait some more for the comments, reactions and, my favorite, reviews. If all of it are mixed, Imma have to watch it with a very skeptic perception of it that will finally conclude whatever in the end. Then if they all say it's good, so Imma have to go watch it--later. But if it weighs heavier than the other side, good riddance.

As a movie buff, spoilers do not affect me especially if it's a very good movie. Sometimes, people keep forgetting that movies are art which is a thought I never lose.

Until then...

2 got somethin' to say...:

I applaud you for hating Twilight!
But I will not judge a movie by its director. I have been impressed with most Gary Oldman movies since the 1980s (Sid and Nancy, which I watched in the Camera Three cinema)

So, for now, I will accept this trailer will draw more ticket sales frome hundreds of thousands of young movie watchers. I remain hopeful that likewise it is a good movie.

I love Gary Oldman too! Even Amanda Seyfried is one respectable actress from my point of view, but the fact that the movie looks "Twilighted" because of the said director, I become very skeptic.

I will still be hopeful. I just hope it's good.
