Sparkly vampires and wet dogs

Friday i did some Christmas shopping, got caught up on a bunch of reading, and, oof course, saw a movie. The movie i saw was... The Twilight Saga: New Moon . Okay, it's kind of silly, but i saw part one, so... Bella is kind of annoying, as she has no interests other than being Edward's girlfriend. She's worried about being too old at 18, for a 100+ year old vampire, while Edward is looking all of Robert Pattinson's 23 years (and more). How about being worried about boring him for eternity... read more

I have to make a promise to myself, and that's that this is the last Twilight entry I'm going to allow myself, unless Stephanie Meyer inexplicably wins a Gloria Steinem lifetime achievement award or something equally ridiculous. That being said, tonight I delved deep into the heart of suburbia to observe Twilighters in their natural habitat--the midnight screening. The movie itself--actually not horrible. I read the screenplay a couple months ago, and appreciated the *subtle changes* to Bella's...

GUESS WHAT? I ACTUALLY DECIDED TO WATCH PLANET OF THE DEAD AND FOR THE MOST PART, I LOVED IT. Lady Christina was so so so so so fantastic and it was very pretty and there were FLY PEOPLE and lulz and UNIT and the Drug Lord from Ashes to Ashes and then the Doctor's all "woe is meeeee I lose everyone" and I have never wanted to reach into the monitor and punch someone as much as I did him right then. Lol. ENOUGH BI-POLAR DOCTOR, RUSTY. MOFF AND SMITH TIEM NAO. But all in all, it was really...

"Phillip, you like Buffy, right? Do you like Twilight and all that?" "I hate Twilight." "Why?" "It's anti-woman and stupid. It's dumb. DUMB." "Have you actually read it?" "Er...I've read...snippets? Hm." I have had this conversation too many times. For that reason, I have decided I shall read Twilight. At Gail's recommendation, I will try posting my commentary to LJ as I go. And thus begins Phillip's Possible Run-Through of Twilight with some Frivolous Commentary CHAPTER ONE I guess Bella...

Twilight. Vampire romance. 2008's runaway leftfield literary success; selling and selling and getting made into a film, in spite of the fact that pretty much everyone I asked about it said "Load of rubbish." Still, in the interests of cultural exploration, a bunch of the writing group girls and I went to see the film (website has a trailer) last night; our resident urban horror/supernatural romance expert has actually read it, the rest of us hadn't, and weren't quite sure what to expect. And I...

Even with most of this already done for me, I still manage to draw out posting. I’m sorry –I’m going to work on the next chapter as soon as I’m finished this one, promise. My plane’s doing a trade run anyway, so I’m not exactly loaded with excuses (except for my Death Note fanfic, and I’m sure no one really wants to see that) All right, MST news. By an overwhelming majority, we're sticking with colours. Thanks to everyone for the responses, they helped a lot. If you have any characters you'd like...
