Computer ate it.
Seriously.
Look, tonight is the opening date for the new Red Ridinghood film.
Unless you gave up television or the Internet for Lent, you've also got a pretty good idea of who's in it and what it looks like. I checke the Internet and the buzz has begun. There's spoiler's a plenty and talk of a plot twist at the end.
Now if you are like me and the prospect of spending 20 bucks a person for this movie has you avoiding the Internet movie sites? Breath easy.
This post isn't about a spoiler for this movie.
Naw.
This movie is about what I hope happens.
Big difference.
First hope has been dashed already.
With the coming of the lunarperigee next Friday, it would have made excellent sense to have openned next week. The lunar perigee has got folks underwear in a twist over what supernatural things might happen. How interesting would it be to open a werewolf movie the night the full moon is at its closest to Earth in 18 years. Already there's speculation on what havoc this will cause in the natural world so why not add a mystical element to the event?
Anyway,
After looking at the trailer and the Internet. I'm seeing all kinds of speculation of what the plot twist will be. The movie's already being compaired to M Night and Twilight. There's folks saying that Red Ridinghood is the werewolf or maybe the grandma. They've already said that here sister get's killed and that Ridinghood is betrothed to one fella while she's in love with another. We know this story from childhood so what's left?
I dunno. Will have to see the movie.
What I hope will happen is this.
We find out that the man that her parents want her to marry is actually the werewolf AND that her boyfriend (the one that her parents DON'T want her to marry) helps Red Ridinghood catch the werewolf. That way the story honors the original fairytail and all the folks who LOVE the Twilight movies will be very happy.
Closing credits.
The end.
Well not quite.
The folks who are thinking that the wolf is actually her boyfriend in this moving and that first the towns folks are thinking that it's her odeous betrothed but you find out it's not. Or maybe it is and that causes Red Ridinghood to dump the boyfriend and fall for the rich guy that mom picked out.
Whatever. I just don't think it's RedRidinghood.
Then again maybe the movie will go the allegory route and it's all about PMS.
And "bad boy" boyfriends vs the one your momma picks out.
Guess we'll know tomorrow night.

The folks who are thinking that the wolf is actually her boyfriend in this moving might be correct! Maybe at first the townfolks are thinking that it's her odeous betrothed but you find out it's not. Or maybe he is and that causes the betrothed to be more of a bad boy than the boyfriend. This causes Red Ridinghood to dump the boyfriend and fall for the rich guy/werewolf that mom picked out.
Whatever. I just don't think it's RedRidinghood.
Then again maybe the movie will go the allegory route and it's all about Red Ridinghood getting her period.
And "bad boy" boyfriends vs the one your momma picks out. Which turn out to be badder than the bad boyfriend you already have.
Guess we'll know tomorrow night."
Well there you go.

Ya'll do know this is just a movie?
ReplyDeleteRight?
.
LOL Just read a spoiler for the ending. LOL
ReplyDeleteWell? It might be interesting but then again - yeah well --
Think if I'm gonna watch relationships twisting in the wind in a post modern Internet world?
Scott Pilgrim vs the World.
It's on video. I can use the 18.00 that I'll save by not watching the theater release of Red Ridinghood for microwave popcorn/soda, and gas money.
LOL at the ending. Somebody's been reading Freud. You can see the college film short term class assignments coming.
That and...
I'm thinking that the Edward Norton movie was way better.
