All this week I purposely stayed away from the spoilers, the leaked clips, the early reviews, the 3 a.m. tweets, and the raving fangirl Twihards in socialmedialand. I wanted to see New Moon without my already low opinion of Stephenie Meyer and her ilk tainting my experience. So tonight I cast aside the "Twilulz" and gave New Moon a chance.]]> http://shezcrafti.com/i-didnt-realize-new-moon-was-a-comedy/feed/ 2 http://shezcrafti.com/the-new-moon-trailer-omg-squee/ http://shezcrafti.com/the-new-moon-trailer-omg-squee/#comments Mon, 01 Jun 2009 21:40:44 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=334
*Disclaimer: I do not ever say things like “squee” or other words usually belonging to the vernacular of 12 year old  fangirls, but felt the disclaimer was necessary to save me from having to explain myself to idiots who can’t tell when I’m being sarcastic.

A few days ago I wrote about a curious phenomenon I’m calling The Twilight Effect, or in other words, how a movie and book series full of mediocrity and unintentional hilarity aimed at 15-year-old girls has managed to completely captivate thousands of otherwise sensible grown women with (usually) good taste. Exhibit A Since my boyfriend [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/the-twilight-effect-a-followup/feed/ 1 http://shezcrafti.com/the-twilight-effect/ http://shezcrafti.com/the-twilight-effect/#comments Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:25:03 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=9
Last Friday night, I dragged three of my girlfriends out to the movies to see a little film called Twilight. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? If you haven’t, I will assume you’re either a shut-in or a male.  After all, it was a 75% female-dominated audience that contributed to Twilight’s staggering $70 million opening weekend, [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/the-twilight-effect/feed/ 3 http://shezcrafti.com/geeky-things-im-thankful-for/ http://shezcrafti.com/geeky-things-im-thankful-for/#comments Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:09:25 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=8
Thanksgiving is just two days away. Come Thursday I hope to be in a full-fledged turkey and wine-induced coma, surrounded by family and friends, kicking off a blissful four days of gaming, couching, Netflixing, and leftovers. Gearing up for the long weekend has got me thinking about all the geeky things I’m thankful for. Here’s [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/geeky-things-im-thankful-for/feed/ 0
