Re: Twilight Saga Mania?
thought i'd already posted in the Literary Corner on this one, but no. basically, twilight is built on a kernel of a good premise: first love. that's what makes the first book interesting. she's new...

Re: What's the last DVD you picked up?
twilight. i'm sorry, but i had to see if the movie redeemed the book series. it did not. it was far, far worse, lacking even the seed of a worthy story. bad dialogue, bad acting, bad action, bad...

Re: Harry Potter 6 Box Office Watch
it was the most visually awesome movie in the series, but the ending drove me nearly off a bridge. the departure from the book was too strong for the buildup. it was all i could do not to stomp the...

Re: Official True Blood Season 2 Discussion
this season has been pretty awesome. it does drag in places, like this extended trip to Dallas and Maryann's ascension. and the confrontation at the church was over too quickly. but it has still been...

Re: Twilight
no, she really didn't get any better with the successive books. i haven't read "the host." i think reading the 'twilight' series was enough of my time.

The Watchmen
I'll say this: Jackie Earle Haley did no less as Rorschach than Heath Ledger did as The Joker. Let's see if they knock themselves out trying to get him an Oscar.
I haven't read the comic, so this...

Dunno what you mean, but I know last week's episode was what we've been waiting for all these years. Finally some origin, plus the bonus exposition of Cavill. His "stand inside a solar wind" speech...

Re: Calling All Capricans!
Crazy intense! Did give me a new idea about the opera house dream. Maybe the opera house is a metaphor for "theater" like theater of war. Maybe Six and Baltar take Hera and abscond in the midst of a...

It was due to open on 11/14 but has now been pushed back to 2009. I was dying to see it. They could at least release it to art houses.

Re: Season03.Ep06 - "Dying of the Light"
Looking at your post, I see we're both being inconsistent. I want a comic reaction in one sitch and a realistic one in the other. And you vote for the reverse. So I'm amending: I'll allow banging...
