Weight
by Sara Prosser
coilegian shift
Lose mega weight without
exercising, and eat all the junk tixxi
you want. Does this sound like a
dream come true? Well it turned
into a nightmare for in Stephen
King's Thinner.
This nightmare begins when a
very plump Robert John Burke is
distracted while driving his car and
accidentally hits and kills the
daughter of a gyspy. The gyspy,
who is very upset by his daughter's
death, puts a curse on Burke. This
curse was to he thinner. Now I
HELLO Mother Nature!

Entertainment Editor
HELLO MOTHER NATURE!
Erie has once again got ravaged by
Mother Nature and her winter
blanket. Even though it's a miracle
to arrive at class without falling and
going off campus has become the
impossible there may be a bright
side to all this.
When was the last time you went
outside just to play in the snow?
Since we have it, we might as well
take advantage of it!
Skiing, sledding, building
snowmen (sorry...snow people),
snowball fights and making snow
angels are great ways to enjoy the
white stuff.

The ending is really corny, and to
tell you the truth, quite stupid. The
movie is so unbelievable, and it is
one of those films that leaves you
with a hunch of unanswered
questions at the end.

I must admit that I was a little
disapppointed in Stephen King.
The movie just did not live up to
his name
I won't spoil it and tell you what
happens, although maybe I should.
That would save you $5.75, and
you wouldn't even have to go out
in this nasty weather. Thinner
does have some interesting
moments, and the makeup was well
done, hut other than that, not much

If you are still interested in
seeing Thinner I would recommend
waiting until it comes out on video
or at least at the dollar theater.
sledding. Closer to home, the ski
slope behind the Science Building
is great as well as the hill behind
Tiffany Suite.
Or why not get out a little
aggression and have a snowball
fight with your friends? Warning
no throwing them at the buildings
or you run the risk of getting
referred.
And who can resist revisiting
their childhood and make snow
creations? Snow angels and snow
people can be made right outside
your residence. Add a scarf and
some facial features and you got a
new friend.
So go outside and enjoy yourself.
Besides, after your done, it gives
you an excuse to go inside and
drink some hot cocoa.
