Shadowhunter News!!
Today was a SERIOUSLY good day to be a Shadowhunter, a.k.a. a fan of Cassandra Clare’s series, The Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices.
For those of you who are unware of what I’m talking about it, you obviously don’t read my blog. I am obsessed with both of those series. I even have a tattoo, a rune that Ms Clare created for her characters, the Shadowhunters.
Anyway, they are seriously popular and amazing young adult-fantasy-romance novels, and I’m addicted to them. In just a month, the final installment of the Infernal Devices series will hit the shelves, and in about six months, the movie adaptation of City of Bones, the first book in the Mortal Instruments series, will hit theaters. Combine that with the fact that she’s releasing companion stories of extremely popular character, Magnus Bane (who appears in both series), and the much anticipated Shadowhunter Codex, in addition to going on tour to promote these, and it looks like a year for Ms. Clare.
Tuesday Top Ten-Favorite Star Wars Moments
So, I don’t know if you’ve been keeping up with the nerd news lately, but it was just recently announced that J.J. Abrams will be directing the 7th installment of the ever-growing Star Wars franchise.
And while I’m still unsure about how I feel about a 7th installment, I feel slightly better now that I know a reputable and mostly trusting director is at the helm. I’m more concerned on who is going to write the thing, because the story is what worries me the most. The cinematography of the prequel movies was great (although at some points, they should have eased up on the green screen…) but the stories are what made them so bad. So I hope that whomever they get to write the screenplay will impress me as much as J.J. Abrams as director.
Moving on though, because they just recently announced that there was a director, I thought a good Tuesday Top Ten would be remembering some of my favorite Star Wars moments. Enjoy!
The Hobbit: Can We Have Part 2 Already?
I’m going to start off by saying one thing…Peter Jackson is a god. In the words of our Tabitha, Peter Jackson doesn’t make movies…he makes films. These are so true. Now, I have a respect for Guillermo del Toro, though I’m not a big fan of his movies…but I’m so glad that Peter Jackson was the final director for The Hobbit.
Breaking Dawn Part 2: They Finally Got It
Now, look, I like Twilight. I do. It was one of my favorite books for awhile there. Even though its written terribly and lets face it, Bella Swan is NOT the best role model out there.
And the movies really really killed it for me for awhile there.
But I saw this series to the end as a book series (I picked up Breaking Dawn the book at midnight) so why not see the end of the series as a movie?
The Hobbit Movie: Three Parts?
Today it was announced via the official Facebook page of Peter Jackson, director of the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy and the soon to be released prequel, The Hobbit, that the Hobbit was to become a three part movie instead of a two-parter.
