I thought the last one was pretty gross.
Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.

What is even happening?
The important point, and the one everyone (including JOSS) is missing, is that Buffy could kick both their asses. At the same time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I know a freshman that read all the books -- loved them until the 4th . After reading the 4th she said she was done with the series and did not go to the movie.

I didn't go to the movie, and have no plans to, because I hear they ruined the books. The fourth book was quite different from the others, but I think I maybe even liked it better, although not so much the beginning, which was a bit gorey for me.

Hey. New board.
I thought the movie was at least 30% better than the book. It did leave stuff out and gloss over stuff, but mostly the things I hated about the book.
ETA: I'm not implying the movie is all that good. 30% over 40% (my rating for the book) is still only 52%...

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
yeah...no. i can't even take the movie. it's full of bad acting and took out things that i actually enjoyed about the book. what i didn't miss was having to hear Bella constantly describing Edward as "beautiful" and "statue-like". that was nice.
as for the fourth book, i pretend only certain parts of it actually exist. the stuff from Jacob's POV, for instance. well...until he imprints on Bella and Edward's spawn, that is.

Punishingly Intricate
I've only seen the movie which I thought was pretty hilarious. Boring but funny.
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.
Really? The writing in the excerpts I've read from the books is just horrible. Really, really terrible stuff.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm sure we all have our own definition of "pretty good". D said Eragon was pretty good. I found it unreadable.

I think the pages of "Twilight" are coated in crack. Cause it was only after that I thought "What the hell was that?" But then I laughed like hell when I read that someone asked Jerry Stahl what the worst thing heroin made him do was and he said "The Maury Povich Show"

erika may be right. There was a lot of repetitiveness, but I liked her descriptions. And, like Laga, I found Eragon unreadable. I think I made it a few chapters in by force of will, and then I just couldn't take it anymore.
I used to love crappy romances, but can't usually even read those anymore.
