Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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."

Gech.
I barely made it through the first one and that was only because...well, I was doing design work for one of the first companies to get the movie rights.
Needless to say, the project fell apart. Too damn bad some fetid, soulless necromancers in Hollywood resurrected it.
But the book stank on ice.

Well, now, that's a terrible idea.
I can't possibly imagine how you could make a decent movie out of those books, unless you scrapped 80% of them. Therefore pissing off the enormous fanbase you're trying to buy into with the movies.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not sure if anyone read EW's review of Breaking Dawn. Even though they give it a "D", the review seems restrained enough - particularly after reading cleolinda!
The comments (now totaling 849) from - it seems to me - mostly teenagers are not so restrained. EW typically doesn't get quite that kind of commenting on their web posted reviews, so reading a couple of pages of that was startling.

“Not dead yet!”
Startling how? In the book's defense or slamming it?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I couldn't resist a peek. The starting comments are slamming the reviewer. I love that the embedded ads are all for teeth whitening.

Argh.
So it would appear that three of the women in my office are reading these Twilight books.
Should I tell them that it ends up with suck? No pun intended.

I don't know...if they're in the cult, they might not believe you. If they like to point and laugh like me, they'll appreciate the tip.

More effective if they discover it on their own. And the outrage is so much more delicious to savor.
