We've not done it, though. |

Goodness, really? It's appalling. The story's vaguely OK, but the characters of the two 'heroes' have to be the least likeable people I've ever seen. |

 I liked it, but then I do seem to have a much higher emo threshold than other people (I also had no problems with the later seasons of Buffy or BS:G). I didn't expect to like Twilight, and there's a lot wrong with it, sure - the girl could do with cracking a smile during the first 80 minutes, and it was (like every other film in the last decade) too long, but other than that it was fine. I loved the baseball game - that's what vampires should be like - fucking strong, fucking fast and dripping with cool. Not some long-toothed dicks that can be kicked in by a girl that knows a little Kung Fu (take note, Blade 3). The lack of any vulnerabilities was a little grating, but I can live with that. Will probably watch the next one now. |

WTF!!! Ok, I admit, I didn't think it was all that bad. The next one is properly tedious rubbish though. Buffy works because it's well written and funny, and this isn't that. |

The Mormon sexual politics in Twilight are quite interesting. And discomforting. Read this: http://www.cracked.com/article_19582_if ... onest.html ...on second thoughts, don't. It has spoilers for the last film (the third, I think?) |

Gods in various heavens.  this wrote: Kevin Smith was brought in to write the screenplay, but he had to work with the ridiculous conditions imposed by producer Jon Peters: Superman could not be seen flying, couldn't wear the classic costume (Peters insisted on a black suit) and somehow, someway, had to fight a giant spider at the end.
Peters and Warner Bros. wanted the villain Brainiac to punch polar bears at Superman's Fortress of Solitude, presumably to work in a Coke sponsorship. Due to the success of the recent release of the original Star Wars Trilogy, Peters wanted Braniac to have a robot sidekick -- "a gay R2-D2 with attitude" -- and Lex Luthor to have a space dog, because "Chewie's [Chewbacca] cuddly, man. You could make a toy out of him, so you've got to give me a dog." |

According to Kevin Smith, Peters was obsessed with having a giant spider in a movie. It's almost funny how he was a producer on Wild Wild West a short time later. |
