Twilight (Sorry for cursing)
Surgoshan:
He wouldn't break out of his coffin to impale them.
We're talking about a guy who, when in solitary confinement for years, impaled spiders for fun.
He'd burrow his way out of the coffin and then see to it that they spent eternity writhing on a stick.
Because not shoving sharp sticks up their asses would be kinda dull.
Ikrik:
Reading New Moon was one of the funniest experiences of what is now last year. I don't think there is something that is more unintentionally hilarious than all the stuff that happened in it. I am ridiculously excited for when the movie of it comes out because it will be totally worth the price of admission.
Oh, and I saw a couple interviews with Stephanie Meyer and....fuck me. She comes off as so incredibly shallow it hurts. She comes off as basically a more restrained fangirl of her own work. She almost brags that she purposefully didn't do any research on vampires before she started writing...which kind of explains perfectly the creatures that populate her book.
JD:
The fourth movie needs to be made. It's insane.

Actually, I rather like that idea. What she ended up with was crap, but it's not like we're talking about something that exists outside of fantasy so it's not like the vampire anti-defamation league is going to get pissed by your insensitivity when you come up with something different to what everyone else has, which is what she did. It just wasn't a good thing, but that's the fault of her bad writing. The idea's sound.

The fact she did no research on Native Americans or the area of the country she set he book in is fairly vile & insulting though.
I like the idea of a creative bubble though, I'm really bad at doing that. Which is why I write stuff that's ALL about pop culture, I'm immersed in it.
I think if you look at a lot of other universes, whether it's Terry Prachet, Harry Potter, or even any Vampire construction, the universe has to have rules & stick to them, that's what makes people get into them.
For me True Blood has this is spades, they've made the rules & they stick to them, baring in mind it follows basical the same plot (When you really boil it down) but it's a thousand times more believable.
I found the universe she had created for her characters to inhabit utterly flawed.
