I'm sure you probably already seen this, but I hadn't. So I'magonna share.
A girl in my Teaching YA Lit. in Multicultural Classrooms (I still hate the title of that course) class over the summer advised us all to never sub/teach when any of these godawful movies are coming out. I asked her why and her response-- which I should have guessed-- was that there was no way in hell you could get those high school girls to do jack shit in the way of school work when they were drooling over vampires and werewolves.
I was telling all this to Brian last night and he said something like, "Oh, well that's good for you. The movie's already been out for a long time."
To which I replied, "No, I meant the next one."
"There's another?"
"In November."
"Oh. ...What's that one about?"
"Some werewolves and shit."
"I like wolves." *AWKWARD SILENCE*
"What, do you wanna see the trailer or something?"
"Well, I just want to see the werewolf!"
"Okaaay..." *SHOWS BRIAN TRAILER*
*BRIAN PROCEEDS TO REWATCH THE WEREWOLF TRANSFORMING SEQUENCE (ALL FIVES SECONDS OF IT), LIKE... TWENTY TIMES.*
And all he has to say in his defense: "See? That's cool. Way cooler than vampires. RAWR! I wish I was a werewolf."
