Emily's Fun Facts & Entertainment News

So, in light of my recent title "The Source", I have decided to make my own little section of the blog. I don't think I will rope myself into a day of the week (or even know if I will do it every week), but these will just show up at random. I find when I am forced into a time frame, my creative juices run dry and things become a chore.
I am a natural researcher and seeker of interesting facts. This comes in handy once in a while when playing trivia games and the like. If I like something, I tend to seek out everything I can about the subject. With all of this in mind, I will share my little nuggets I find of interest (and try and keep the subject within what I feel most of you will be interested in).

Here we go.

Fun Fact #1 -

Twilight is now, the number #1 box office Vampire movie. The top 3 as of today's date are as follows:

1 - Twilight $138,552,000
2 - Van Helsing $120,177,084
3 - Interview With The Vampire $105,264,608

(Twilight is ranked #12 in money makers for 2008. Sadly, Kingdom of the Chrystal Skulls is #3)

Fun Fact #2 -

Authors, John Irving (The Cider House Rules and The World According to Garp) and Stephen King (I think you are all familiar with him) made a public plea to JK Rowling not to kill Harry Potter in the 7th book, before the book was released.

Entertainment News -

Stephenie Meyer has said in a recent interview that she will probably pick up and finish Midnight Sun (Twilight from Edward's point of view) in 2 years or so (She says after everyone has forgotten about it -yeah right). She thinks her next project will be a book about mermaids (although, she refers to them as Sirens, like the Ancient Greeks).

Me likey this idea! And finding out the Stephen King cares about Harry Potter, makes me care a little more about him. That cracks me up!

I thought that was so cute they cared enough to make a public plea. Very funny to me. Glad you guys like my idea.

I love it! Especially when it involves Twilight things. Hehe. That is really funny about the Harry Potter thing. I can just hear Sue saying "me likey this idea!" I thought she was going to start working on Midnight Sun after Breaking Dawn was released. LAME! I want to read it so bad!

Haley said...

Mermaids?

Sue said...

Interesting fact I just found out about the next Twilight movie. They are using a different director! I think we should all be okay with that idea.

Haley said...
