I like the books. They're well-written and engaging. Yes, some of the ideas (like sparkling vampires) are a bit odd, but that didn't bother me much. Being a huge fan of fantasy novels, I live in a near-constant state of suspended disbelief.
The movies, on the other hand, are not that great. The acting is passable, but nothing to swoon over. The effects are outdated and a bit obvious. The thing that bothers me the most is that when the vampires sparkle, they look less like the diamonds described in the book and more like an overly-glittered graphic from a teenage girl's myspace.
Kind of like this one:

Hahahah I love that!
Actually, now that you metion sparkley vampires, I think I may have seen one of them by accident!
??
Did you see me under black lights? I do NOT sparkle. I merely glow purple.
BAHAHHA, I meant the movie, lmao, not the sparkley vampire.
How do you accidentally see a movie? Did you wander into the wrong theater at the movies and forget to leave?
It can happen okay:pQuote:

I've never read the books, and being in high school you can imagine that I'm probably the only one. I watched a few minutes of the movie, the part where she asks the vamp. How old he is. The acting was horrible(my opinion) and I laughed so hard I had to change the channel.Quote:

I just can't get into it. I do like fantasy and Horror and what not, but for some reason, hard as I try, I just can't get into it (Twilight, Vampire diaries, etc... ). Honeslty, I think it's because of all the hype.
I'm one of those annoying people, when there is mass hystaria about something, you can't get me farther away from it!
It took me forever to watch LOR and Harry Potter. Read the LOR books when I was younger, but couldn't bring myself to watching the movies, which I ended up loving anyway.
The Twilight books are the ONLY books I've ever read that I wish I could wipe from my memory.
They're also the only books I've thrown across the room for stupidity every 3 pages, and the only books I ever burned when I was done with them.
I usually have SOMETHING good to say about most books. Not those. Stupidest. Books. Ever.
Well I am glad I didn't invest my time in them. I went to Coles to checkout Fforde, they had to order them in for me!
Okay, because I'm such a geek--I'll totally give up the name Synn for the one you want to call spot if you'll call her/him "Zoe".
It's a reference to an online comic my husband and I read called "Sluggy Freelance". Torg (the main character) gave Zoe (who he is in love with) a cursed necklace that turned into a tattoo on her neck. The curse is that a certain word turns her into a camel, and she can't just take the necklace OFF_--it's tattooed onto her.
Oh I am so checking that out. Sound hilarious!
Got to read from the beginning, or you won't get it.
Prepare to settle in for 13 years worth of comics :P
Oh great, I think I am now into another webcomic. I think it will take me awhile to catch up on this one. :rolleyes:Quote:

Can you send me a link? I wonder if I can view it here at work?
Sluggy Freelance - Comic for 04/05/10
Not websensed for me :)
Yes! I'm in! :D Is this the beginning?
Nm, I think I figured it out.
Rex--to TRULY appreciate that statement, you have to realize that I read about 4 books a week, and am really open-minded on topics and genres. Seriously--I have NEVER thought that there was a book out there so bad that it should be burned. Until the Twilight books.Quote:
Comments on this post
Rex123 agrees : I've never heard that one before! You sound like my kind of person.
And since everyone kept talking them up so much, I made myself read all 4, in hopes they'd get better. Nope--it got progressively WORSE.
Wasted a whole week reading those stupid things.
I like the name zoe. I'm not sure if spot will or not. I think he's a boy, even though I have no proof either way. Maybe one of my nameless torties will like it.Quote:

OK, everybody, it's time for a roll call ^_^

Zoe
Alty-cat wouldn't stop crying when I was taking her picture.
Unky came crawling toward me, I think he was trying to 'save' her. He stopped as soon as I put her down and she stopped crying.
Zoe is the chubbiest kitten. Even her cheeks are chubby.
Mop rarely cries and seems to just take things as they come.
Spot is always trying to get somewhere. He's going to be the first one to escape and crawl under furniture, and the first to climb up things.
Aura is calm and sweet, but not afraid to voice her opinion if she doesn't like something.
Spot and Zoe are the only ones without at least one eye almost completely open. Spot's eyes aren't even starting to open, yet, and Zoe's are just barely slitted. According to some of what I've read, long-hair cats take up to twice as long for their eyes to open, so there's a good chance they're going to be long-haired.
Alty-cat and Unky were the first to start opening their eyes. Their eyes started opening when they were barely two days old.
I love all the names, and they are so friggen cute!! Have you been practising with that ramp and bike yet?
Ramp and bike?
Jeesh, how soon you forget. You are supposed to be practicing to jump of lake Erie or was it lake Michigan? Anyway, you were supposed to jump it so you can deliver to Canada in your bike.
ahhh, yes. Sorry. I'll get right on figuring out the math and building the ramp.
and, it's lake erie ^_^
I expect that to be readsy by the time I get out of the hospital!
I'm not sure I can swing that. Remember, I'll have to carry all the building supplies on my bike.
Ok, well I am sure you will do your best.
Now, the real question: where do I get jet-packs so I can go fast enough to make the jump?
Acme.
Duh.
But... they're products always backfire. Just look at the coyote. He SWORE by acme and look where it got HIM! Flattened, squished, burned, exploded, launched, pummeled, and generally unhappy.Quote:

Well, I'd prefer not to launched INTO lake erie head first :p
Picky, picky.
The water's COLD right now. 37 degrees, to be exact.
I may be biased but I think Alty cat is the cutest of the bunch.Quote:
