New Moon

I saw New Moon over the weekend. (The second movie in the Twlight vampire series.) It was enjoyable, however the best part came from this valleygirl rant, a nice break from all the brooding emo pinning. After going to the movies with Bella, her high school friend Jessica says; "I don't know, why you wanna sit through all those zombies eating people... and no hot guys kissing anybody. It's gross. Like, why are there so many zombie movies anyway? Is it supposed to, like, draw a parallel with leprosy? My cousin had leprosy, it's not funny you know? And like, is it supposed to be a metaphor for consumerism? Because don't be so pleased with your own, like... self-reverential cleverness, you know? Like, some girls like to shop. Not all girls, apparently. I was surprised you called at all, you know? Like, your depression thing... I'm totally... totally worried. After a while, it's like, she's still bumming? And I'm going through stuff too, you know?" --- New Moon, Written by Melissa Rosenberg (screenplay) & Stephenie Meyer (novel)
