Rumor (and IMDB.com) has it that Hollywood is in the process of remaking Ice Castles. 

Really?  Really Hollywood?  Do you think that you are ever going to be able to recreate a moment like this?

(Please pay no attention to the 70s attire and hair in the embedded clip.) 

And where are you going to find a modern day Robby Benson, huh?  Do you think they just grow on trees?  A quick IMDB.com search tells me that this yahoo is going to play Robby’s role of Nick Peterson.

I mean, I guess I can see this working.  Whatever.  OK.  He’s hot.  But can he portray a lifetime of emotion in just one teary stare at Lexie?  We shall see.

And Lord help me if you have Miley Cyrus or the Jonas Brothers cover the beautiful theme song that plays such an important role in the movie.  I will NOT stand for that. 

Are you guys with me?  Or am I alone here? 

Please do not put in the comment section that you’ve never seen this movie because you are 20-years-old.  I just don’t have the stomach for that today.  Go over to my New Moonpages and banter with the other TwiHeads about how cool and hip and totally awesome I am.  Thanks.

Taylor is hosting SNL this Saturday.

Do you think he’ll give other Taylor a little show-out like she did for him?

He can do whatever he wants. As long as there is at least one shirtless skit.

Can I get an amen TEAM JACOB fans?

Calling all Christmas lovers!  I need your input.

Since I’m going to be laid up for the week of Christmas due to a pending ACL reconstruction, I decided to save all of my Christmas movies in order to watch them that week while I’m bored out of my mind.  Or comatose.  Whatever the case may be.

I was rattling off a list of my favorites to a friend of mine.  She smiled politely while I talked about my love of the following:

1.  White Christmas

Oh to have a big, ice blue feather fan for Christmas.  That would come in handy during spontaneous outburst of “Sisters” when I’m in the kitchen with my own sister.  Of course, we’ll have to find some tinsel or sequins to dress up the crutches a bit, but that’s fine. 

 

 

2.  Christmas Vacation

This show has some of the funniest one-liners that we repeat during the entire month of December.  And I love how Aunt Bethany sweetly recites the Pledge of Allegiance at the dinner table. 

Adorable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  The Grinch

Jim Carey at his absolute finest.  It might be my opinion, but it’s true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.  A Christmas Story

Ohhhhh fuuuuuuudddddgggggee.  (Only I didn’t say fudge…)

 

 

 

I could have gone on and on for days:  Miracle on 34th Street, Charlie Brown Christmas, The Santa Clause (parts 1 and 2.  Part 3?  Not so much.) It’s a Wonderful Life and the original Grinch that plays 24-hours on TBS when A Christmas Story isn’t playing 24-hours on TBS.

My friend then offered a few of her own that just floored me:

Love Actually and Home Alone.

Dear reader…never in my years of owning BOTH of these movies has it occurred to me to watch them during CHRISTMASTIME.  Which makes perfect sense because THEY ARE SET AT CHRISTMASTIME. 

Are there any others that I’m blatantly missing?  It’s going to be eight hours a day in the bendy machine.  And traditionally (remember…I’ve been down this road twice before) my body refuses to sleep in the bendy machine.  So I’m going to need movies to watch to keep my mind off of the evil bendy machine.

Before you mention Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, please note that claymation sort of freaks me out.  And the sound that Rudolph’s nose makes when it lights up is like scratching a chalkboard to me.  I don’t know.  I’m weird.

OK.  Sound off in the comment section.  I’m totally stoked about the possibilities of new holiday movie-watching traditions!

The last two times I was at the movie theater in the last five days (can’t remember what I saw…wink/wink), there was a trailer for the movie Dear John.  It’s based on the book by Nicholas Sparks.  It looks like it has potential.

So I bought the book and finished it in two days.

It made me wonder…have you ever read a book to prepare yourself for the movie?  Or seen a trailer and then went out to buy the book to see what the hype was all about?  Is so, let me know in the comment section.  I’m a sucker for a book being turned into a movie. 

And check out the Dear John trailer below and let me know if you think it’s going to be major cheese or just enough romantic comedy.  Although nothing can ever touch The Notebook in my opinion.  Noah and Allie forever!
