Every now and then,  I see a sign that maybe I&#8217;m wrong (&#8220;Inglourious Basterds&#8221;). But most of the time, my complaint goes unchallenged. Don&#8217;t believe me? Then just look at this little bit of news from today.
<div><span> </span>&#8220;L.A. Candy,&#8221; a novel released earlier this year by &#8220;The Hills&#8221; star Lauren Conrad, will be made into a movie. The rights for the book were bought by Temple Hill Entertainment, the studio also responsible for bringing &#8220;Twilight&#8221; to the big screen.</div>
<div><span> </span>While it might be hypocritical for me to constantly bash &#8220;Twilight,&#8221; given that I haven&#8217;t seen a second of it, there&#8217;s absolutely no hypocrisy in me slamming this horrendous idea.</div>
<div><span> </span>One day at work this summer, I spotted a copy of &#8220;L.A. Candy&#8221; sitting on the table. For fun my fellow workers and I decided to read it. After reading a few pages out loud, my boss remarked, &#8220;my entire college degree just evaporated.&#8221; I don&#8217;t have a college degree yet, but my mind certainly melted quite a bit. The content of &#8220;L.A. Candy&#8221; doesn&#8217;t in the least bit sound like it was written by an actual writer. Every page sounded like a bunch of text messages between two 13-year-old girls about a Jonas Brothers concert. Yes, the words &#8220;OMG&#8221; and &#8220;LOL&#8221; are used frequently. </div>
<div><span> </span>Why is it that we continue to throw so much money at stars of a show like &#8220;The Hills?&#8221; And on that note, why must we reward trash with what will likely be an even trashier film adaptation? Whatever, I&#8217;m just going to sit here and wait for the releases of the adaptations of &#8220;Fantastic Mr. Fox,&#8221; &#8220;Where the Wild Things Are,&#8221; &#8220;The Road,&#8221; and &#8220;Rum Diary,&#8221; and pretend this never happened.</div>
<div><i>Note: What director would be the perfect match to adapt &#8220;L.A. Candy?&#8221; My choice: <a href="http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2009/08/brett-ratner-joined-twitter">Brett Ratner</a>. Or maybe David Lynch. A few severed ears and deformed fetuses might just be enough to scare Conrad away from Hollywood forever.</i></div>
