...confirm the validity of this analogy). You carry around the increasing weight of your impending exams/term papers/end of year project, bragging about its current size until you either spend an excruciating night pushing—and pushing, and pushing, and pushing—the thing into existence, or you exhaust yourself for a quick-but-painful three hours of labor...

...traditionally one of the slowest weeks on Hollywood's calendar. All new movies are subject to the law of gravity, even a smash like New Moon. In 17 days, the interspecies love story sold more than 35 million tickets in North America alone, and it was bound to exhaust its fan base at some point.
