This Post is Actually About Books and Movies for Once

So by some sort of happy coincidence, I find myself ready to go to work 1 and 1/2 hours before I need to even think of being there, so I figured I'd do a post.

I finished OotP! But there's something I feel quite bad about: this book has never made me cry. I know, I know, Sirius's death is horridly tragic, but the first time I read this book, I already knew that Sirius died. I didn't read the whole series when it first came out, but my grandma bought me all of the earlier books when they all came out, so I owned all of them. Before I got into the series, she told me that someone dies in the 5th book. Thinking it was Ron or Hermione, I pestered her about it until she finally said, "Sirius dies!" And I was just like, "...Who?" It's really bad, I know. I do love Sirius, but since I knew it was coming and at the time I had not attachment to him, it was never that sad. But like I said, I feel bad about it now.

So now I'm onto Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, of course. I'm only on the second chapter, but I hope I can get through this one pretty quickly.

So there are 2 new movies I want to talk about. First, Vampires Suck. It's a parody of all of the recent vampire related movies (i.e. Twilight) and shows that have been littering the entertainment circuit recently. The trailer is hilarious, and I really want to see it! It actually comes out today, so maybe I'll get a chance to. Here's the official trailer:

The 2nd movie is the film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I read the book last summer, and it was completely awesome. There are 2 more books in the series, which I hope to eventually read, but for now they're just making the 1st movie. I'm really excited to see this one too!
