I did happen to enjoy a scene in the movie when Bella is being courted by the stone-chested (and cold!), amber-eyed Edward, and he's playing the piano for her in a dark misty room. It's like a Prince video. I couldn't really believe what I was seeing.

It's The Covenant with a more broody, but less cute guy as the lead. It's going to be spectacularly, milk-curdingly, silly and nachotastic.
Oh, and Spike is gorge, but I still have a thing for Boreanz's Angel. That man is sex with 8 foot shoulders.

However, I take umbrage with Justin Chang (Variety)'s criticism that "Bella's decision to get hot and heavy with a hot-and-hungry vampire, far from seeming like an act of mad, transgressive passion, comes across as merely stupid and ill-considered". Justin, you clearly have NO idea how the mind of a teenage girl works. Bitches be crazy in love with boys they've never talked to before sometimes. It. just. happens.

I was just about to mention that. You wanna talk about a twisted vampire romance? Fuck Twilight and go see this.

I was wrong.

I liked the books, not because they are great literature, but because they are great popcorn entertainment. Also, I'm excited to see something that isn't a sequel, isn't a remake, isn't based on a TV show, and doesn't feature STUPID CGI ANIMALS.

There might not be any CGI animals but there sure will be plenty of CGI vampire hopping about.
I liked Thirteen. What of it.

Has no one seen Buffy or Angel? This is more or less it. How Stephanie Meyer can say with a straight face that she had no idea what BtVS was before writing these books..?
Where is Joss Whedon in all this?
11/19/08
Did she actually say this? Cause now I have an ALL NEW reason to fucking hate her.

I am reading these books, I hate them, they blow, they are horrible. Am I going out to buy the next book in the series..you bet. I have no good answer as too why.

If you have the stamina to get through book 3 I salute you. I went into it a few days ago expecting a shitshow and was utterly unprepared for what awaited me. It was the tween-lit equivalent of Normandy.

But why not go all out with the alliteration? "to purloin Meyer's purple parlance." would be perfect.

This Christmas, please grant me an NC17 rated movie with LOTS of explicit sex and tons of hot young sweaty stars.
This PG-13 teenage shit restricted only to glassy-eyed looks into the distance, sighs, and dreamy glances is getting old. I want some gratuitous nudity and meaningless sex in my movies. Aight?
Ok then.

plus you're not secretly born of a mormon. double points.
