   I find it funny that so often the fans of the books generally admit the movie wasn’t good, but that if someone who HASNT read the books point it out, they get upset.

   I mean the Golden Compass book is good, but I didnt see the atheist community get in such a pinch and circle the wagons around it anyways.

   But I guess maybe those girls are on to something, because we’re not going to get additional Hitchhikers Guide or His Dark Materials movies… They’ve got to vote it for every MTV award and buy the DVDs anyways so they can hopefully get a movie that doesnt suck.

   Oh, and in joke for Dave:

   “Line?”

    The Golden Compass movie was also nothing to get defensive about either. You have to also look at the audience for both series. A 14 year old girl engrossed in His Dark Materials is not exactly laterally in tune with a 17 year old Hot Topic freak into Twilight. The Twilight series taps into something very basic and doesn’t ask a whole hell of lot from the viewer or reader.

    I’ve used to tell Andrea that if she wanted sweeping adventure with a healthy dose of romance, there are hundreds of far better books I could point her towards, yet she doesn’t budge. I gave up on that a long time ago.

    To make this meta-nerdy, the woman in my guild were freaking out over the New Moon trailer while the men were all “bleh” and “bunch of Mormon propaganda imo.”

    I’m sure people who have read the Twilight books could get more out of it than those who haven’t. It happens. I remember watching the Outsiders and feeling like so much of it wouldnt make a lick of sense if you hadn’t read the book.

    But that doesnt change the fact that for me watching that shitty film, that finding Edward as a ‘perfect man’ or the ‘bad boy every girl wants’ is laughable. There’s so little dialogue between the two of them, just awkward teen nonsexual pauses, and he says this weird bullshit about her blood being awesome and zips around like a dolt.

    That scene where he’s zipping up the hill in the woods? Someone needs to make a youtube video of that shit set to the Yodeling music from Price is Right.

    I would think more “Yakity Sax”, or however the fuck it’s spelled.
