I enjoyed Breaking Dawn as much as any of the books but I don't think I can stand to see the movie.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Are you kidding? It's the only one of the movies I've even vaguely looked forward to! I still think they should have gotten Cronenberg to direct it.

Our wings are not tired.
Also, and I know this is blasphemy, but like J.D. Robb's stuff, there was too much sex. I got bored and started skimming.
I don't know what's wrong with me, since I cut my sex teeth on Judith Krantz and the like and couldn't get enough back then...BUT I hate sex scenes in books now. I mean, if I am picking up Anais Nin, then of course I want to read sex. But I noticed how much I hated it when I was reading the Patrick/Angie Lehane books.
Or maybe I just didn't want to read Lehane-written sex scenes. Hmmm. Must ponder.

That's a very good point.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think he already has.

Yeah, but not with swoony, dippy teen angst!

Because books.
One of my biggest problems with Twilight (and resultant phenomenon) is that it made irrationally peeved by Cedric Diggory.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I know! We rewatched Goblet of Fire not long ago, and when Cedric came onscreen I actually "tch"ed. H asked what was wrong, and I just did the handwave dismissy thing. Totally my issue, he didn't need to be distracted.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I didn't mind the sex scenes in the Lehane books.
