Personally I can't wait until the last Twilight book comes out as a movie. I will be watching it just for the epic lulz and WTF-factor.
I have to give Stephenie Meyer props, she may not be a good writer (she should be much chagrined at that chagrining notion) but she did manage to relate an experience of childbirth that it infinitely more disgusting and horrifying than actual childbirth (teeth and sparkles!!), which takes some talent in my opinion.
@Anne Boleyn: Oh my god, me too. I am embarrassed to say that the fourth book is totally my favorite, because shit gets real. Also the Stephen King–y birth sequence is just so gross and awesome. I cannot wait to see how they try and get that a PG-13.
@Anne Boleyn: I tried to work in some subliminal Mormon thing with that scene, but I was at a loss.
It was was just that fucked up for absolutely no reason.
@TheUptightMidwesterner: It exists! Part of the pro-life message. The mother is willing to undergo massive amounts of pain and potentially die for her freakish, stomach tearing offspring. She does whatever is needed to preserve the life of the baby! She knows it is going to kill her to give birth but she is totally pro-life.
But if you're specifically referring to the teeth gnawing through her stomach as some kind of metaphor, well yeah, you've got me there!
"World of Warcraft" has been satirized so effectively on both "The Simpsons" and "South Park" that it's clear a movie version couldn't help but be hilarious. With any luck Raimi knows this, and intends it to be a Bruce Campbell-starring laff riot.

I'm just looking forward to seeing them handle the hot werewolf falling in love with a newborn child. Gotta love the Christian values in this book.

...alright.
I will agree that a movie based on it is pretty horrifying, since there has yet to be one truly good game adaptation.
