Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
Haven't seen the movie, but just finished reading the Twilight books, and I've got to say, if they fought, Book!Edward would beat Show!Angelus. I mean, we can see Angelus move. I realize that this is probably because Angel is played by a person who, while gorgeous, lacks those mad vampire skillz, but still. Of course, Edward is even more goody-two-shoes than Angel, so he would probably never fight anyway.
From what I hear, I would agree with you all when the movie came into the picture.
Maybe acetone?
A mixture of acetone, turpentine, and benzine -- otherwise known as The Dip.
Oh noes! The secret is out: the sparkly vampires are actually Toons!
That explains it.
Angel was fast enough (or psychic enough) to spin and catch a crossbow bolt fired at his back from about 20 feet away, and while evil frequently did that appear-next-to-someone-when-they're-not-looking trick. He also did a running high jump of at least 3 stories to catch a helicopter, and has punched his way through a brick wall. I think those kind of feats should be used for any comparison rather than David Boreanaz's physical fight choreography limitations. (Though I only know enough about the Twillight books to mock the overwrought angst, so maybe Edward juggles cars in them or makes sonic booms while running?)

Hmmm, pretty close . I did not at all expect to like the Twilight books, but a friend bought them for me. Even then, they sat in the box for a couple of months, but then I got home from a trip and needed brain candy, and just over a week later I had read nearly 2500 pages of overly angsty, but otherwise pretty good writing.
but how did you like the final book? I don't know anything about the books really, but I know a whole lot about the final book due to cleolinda. That final book sounds like an absolute scream.
I was a bit worried about the final book, because I was worried about how Bella's becoming a vampire was going to be, but I liked it quite a lot. Of course, I had complaints here and there, most notably that Meyer never uses one word where 100 will do, and thus some bits really did go on too long, but overall, I liked what she did with it.
Hmm. They had the first book in the clearance racks at the check out line at TJ Maxx the other day and I thought about picking it up. I have to return something so maybe I'll suck it up and try it out.
Just remember, there's no turning back...
I thought the last one was pretty gross.
