Me: WELCOME TO THE FANFICTION NEWS! I'm your host Kat, and this is my co-host Finn.
Finn: We're here to talk about 2012, which is around the corner!
Me: That's right, and THE WORLD WON'T END. Sorry. Had to get that out there. Let's start off with entertainment!
Finn: Let's go to our friend, Percy Jackson for entertainment news.
-in another room-
Percy: Thanks guys! The movies coming up look really good, but some are underrated in the movie world. Here's the Top Ten Movies of 2012 that we can't wait for, in no specific order. First is the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is based off of a famous book series by Suzanne Collins, loved and worshipped by writers alike. Comes out March 23rd. According to research, 95 percent of people believe that the Hunger Games is not like Twilight at all. Kat and Finn?
Me: Most definitely not. The Hunger Games is about sacrifice, and trying to defeat a major force, the lesson would be to fight for what you believe, no matter the size of the enemy.
Finn: Twilight's about vampires who love each other too much, so others have to kill them. That… makes no sense.
Me: On with the list…
Percy: Wrath of the Titans! Sequel to Clash of the Titans, where my old self, Perseus, is being all heroic! In this one, Ares and Hades kidnap Zeus in the Underworld and Perseus has to go save him! Comes out March 30th.
Me: I'm actually afraid for this movie.
Finn: You like action.
Me: I didn't say I was afraid OF it, I said I was afraid FOR it.
Percy: I don't get it.
Me: -sigh- Well, it's kind of the same storyline, saving the gods from Hades…
Finn: And Ares.
Me: -ignores- and trying to save the world! I'll go see it, but I think it's too easy to mess up.
Finn: Walking on eggshells in other words.
Percy: Now for Kat's favorite: The Avengers.
Me: -fangirl squeal-
Finn: -facepalm-
Percy: The Avengers is a franchise for the Marvel superheroes come together in one whole movie to battle Thor's brother, Loki. Norse god. Which my creator is actually creating… -cough- anyway. Comes out May 4th. Thoughts?
Finn: Well, I-
Me: LOVE IT!
Finn: I was talking. Anyway, I think that they have to work really hard to get all these characters involved, because Loki's a god. Thor's a god. They could just be battling it out alone at the end, while the others stand and watch on the sidelines. They can't let Kat down or she'll die.
Me: I will. Next.
Percy: Men in Black 3. Men in Black uno and dos have been huge hits, dealing with Tommy Jones Lee and Will Smith.
Gale: -appears- -whispers- -disappears-
Percy: Sorry, Tommy Lee Jones. The movies are all about capturing and fighting the evil aliens, and working with the good ones. And a little amnesia stick. Comes out May 25th.
Me: Yay! Looks awesome!
Finn: A must see. Most likely.
Percy: Skipping over Prometheus, evil guy, because we're only allowed ten! Madagascar 3! The Madagascar franchise is all about Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria, animals from the Central Park Zoo, have accidentally been captured two movies ago and want to make it back to New York. They still haven't made it back yet. Comes out June 8th.
Me: EPIC.
Finn: They might be taking it a bit too far, but nobody's heard of Madagascar or a lemur before these movies. Technically educational.
Me: I agree with Lawrence. They might be stretching it out too long, but it's loved a lot so they said, "Let's stick with it!" Not that I don't like the movies, I really do.
Percy: G.I. Joe Retaliation. Hits theaters June 29th. Sequel to G.I. Joe Rise of the Cobra. According to popular belief and the trailer, Channing Tatum/Duke, has to appeared as to have died near the beginning. G.I. Joe is about elite training operatives, and it might make more sense if you saw the first one.
Me: I'll see it, I WON'T SEE IT IF THEY HURT SNAKE EYES.
Finn: -sigh- It's like their bringing in a whole batch of strange people, like the ones previous didn't exist, and they all died in the second one so more awesome people could be brought in. As of now, I'm only seeing it because Kat's going to make me.
Percy: The Amazing Spider Man reboot! Spider Man is about a man who gets bitten by a radioactive spider and becomes a superhero with spider-like qualities. Oh. That's why Annabeth doesn't like that movie. Rebooting the franchise after so namy… MANY… stupid dyslexia… after a quick ending to the first one? Will Andrew Garfield be able to take the role as Peter Parker? Comes out July 3rd.
Me: Heck yeah. Andrew Garfield, never seen him before, is really hot. And he's awesome in the trailer. Next.
Finn: I didn't get to say anything.
Me: Too bad. NEXT.
Percy: Ice Age, Continental Drift. About a mammoth… two mammoths… THREE MAMMOTHS… a sabertooth tiger, and a sloth. And two possums. They all live in the Ice Age era and go on random adventures together with a life story at the end. Fifth one, I think. Comes out July 13th.
Me: Five movies? What are they, Harry Potter? But those five movies are five of the most hilarious things you'll ever see. Funny for adults, teens, and kids alike.
Finn: They're successful because of there comedic… reliefs and the quirky storylines. Must see for everyone.
Percy: The Dark Knight Rises. Part of the Batman franchise. If you don't know who Batman is, you're either a demigod, or Amish. In that case, what are you doing with a computer? Anyway, he's a rich man who buys awesome weapons, dresses up like bat and saves people. How he disguises himself? Making his voice really weird. Still EPIC FOR EVERYONE EVER. Comes out July 20th.
Me: I actually haven't seen all the Batman movies, and I hope I can, since this is the ending of Batman before the reboot arrives somewhere in the nearby future.
Finn: Batman movies are one of the few movies out there who attract everyone, by just being good quality.
Percy: The Twi-
Me: NO! NOT TOP TEN! NO!
Finn: MY EARS ARE BLEEDING! –falls to the floor-
Percy: Fine then. I don't really care, it's on here. FINAL ONE! The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. December 14th. About the hobbit with the 'precious' the one who laid out the path for Alfredo…
Gale: -appears- -whispers- -disappears-
Percy: I mean Frodo. Sequel to the world famous Lord of the Rings.
Gale: -appears- -whispers- -disappears-
Percy: PREQUEL! I'M SORRY I'M DYSLEXIC!
Me: -whispers- And stupid.
Percy: SHUT UP.
Finn: If you don't see this, you're not smart. Okay.
Me: I hope Legolas is in it. Or an elf.
Finn: Kat has thing for elves.
Me: I DO NOT! –whacks with celery- On to other news… books that made living worthwile with Luna Lovegood!
Finn: Take it away!
-in another room-
Luna: Pudding tastes good, until the guinea pigs eat it. They taste like rubber then. Oh! Didn't see you there! –giggles- Top five books that made life worthwhile? Okay! First was the Son of Neptune, sequel to the Lost Hero, which is part of Rick Riordan's fantasy teen novels about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Fantastic books, by the way. Actually a feature film now. The second one, Sea of Monsters due by March 26, 2013.
Me: LOVED IT. Beautifully written Rick.
Finn: Hmph.
Me: Well… it's a movie. Can't wait for Mark of Athena in the fall!
Luna: Tartar sauce! My shoes are dirty! Oh, we're back. Why won't you signal me, strange man behind the camera? Second, Throne of Fire, sequel to Red Pyramid, by Rick Riordan, who's just making our list today, isn't he? Red Pyramid is about two kids who are inhabited by Egyptian gods, bringing mythology into today's enchanting world. He's just good at that, isn't he?
Me: I read it in Chicago.
Finn: At least this one isn't made into a movie.
Me: Probably will be.
Finn: SHUT IT.
Luna: Does that finger motion mean we're back on? Do you have any fishsticks? Oh. The red light means… why didn't you say so? Silly! Number three was Kingdom Keepers: Power Play, fourth in the Kingdom Keepers franchise! It's about being in Disney World after dark and fighting the evil characters in Disney, called Overtakers. Lovely place, Disney World. I like the castle when it glows. Reminds me of a firefly. But then my moonfrog goes to get it, and I have to chase after him.
Me: Thanks for sharing that story…
Finn: MOST AWESOME BOOK EVER. GO NOW TO READ. NOW.
Luna: Fourth is the Maximum Ride, seventh installment by James Patterson, Angel. It's about six genetically mutated children, with wings, Almost like Dementors. But with wings. And nicer. I would think they're nicer. Dementors are all in your face and trying to eat your soul, but I think the bird children would politely ask you, first.
Me: The next one is in February of 2012. Final one… I'm going to die.
Finn: Kingdom Keepers isn't over yet. And Maximum Ride is going to be a movie, isn't it?
Me: Sometime eventually.
Luna: And final one, Warriors: The Forgotten Warrior. Part of the Warrior cats series, actually 32nd book in the series. That author, Erin Hunter, likes to write, my, my. I don't know about you, but I like kitties. Meow.
Me: On topic please.
Luna: Right. Anyway, it's about cats who live in the forest and have Clans, and it's really complicated, so you can't just jump in or it'll make no sense. Start at number 1 and work your way up, m'kay? Meow.
Finn: I'm surprised they weren't first.
Me: Well, Warriors has been a part of my life for a very long time. Fifth grade. You're only seventh grade.
Finn: Sorry. –sarcasm-
Me: That concludes our 2012 Predictment. Of entertainment. I felt like doing this, so here it is.
Finn: I'm Finn Whitman, signing off!
Me: And I'm Kat, and I'll see you next time, from the Fanfiction Station of Awesome.
Finn: We're not calling it that.
Read and Review? What movies are you looking forward to in 2012? Why? What books were your favorite in 2011? Why? I'd like to read more. Books were in no specific order, and some I even wonder if they even came out in 2011. Let's pretend they all did.
