As a lover of fanfic, and knowing that some authors take their fics and change the name to turn them into original fiction, I'm not offended by the idea of fic going mainstream in this sense. And I shouldn't say this because I can't judge for not having read this particular one, but my god, there is so much good fic out there that could be converted first to original fiction, and then opted for a movie. But I have to wonder, why this particular one (and I realize that only a small margin of fic writers turn their fanfic into non-fiction)? (maybe that's a question for any story that get's opted to either be published, or given movie rights).
This must be what going mad feels like.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Calli,
such a strong recommendation from you. I am now cautiously excited about seeing the movie. Your white font intrigues me and is EXACTLY the kind of shit I am totally into.

Dude is not attractive. Ugh.

I'm not offended by fanfic going mainstream, in a general sense. In this *specific* instance, though, it's horribly, execrably written fanfic of a horrible book series.
But I have to wonder, why this particular one
People dig Twilight?

You got me there, Steph.
Okay, for someone who loved the music of Once but was underwhelmed by the movie, will I like Begin Again? I adore Mark Ruffalo, kind of am frightened by Keira Knightley. I listened to some of the soundtrack bites on iTunes and was not impressed. But I'm also dying for some more MR goodness that isn't a dumb romantic comedy.

Really? (I am honestly gobsmacked, not being a snot). Do you watch Once Upon a Time? I mean, he's been gone since Season 1, but I loved him on the show and am so disappointed that he's got another gig that I wouldn't go to unless you paid me.
Ah well, takes all kinds. Or, more for me. Or something.

Huh. I hadn't realized that that was the same actor. I found him very attractive on OUAT, but nsm in the preview for 50 Shades. The trailer just made me want to rewatch Secretary.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
He's quite pretty in this Dior commercial: [link]
Although half of the thing that's pretty about that commercial is that Pete Doherty song, which I love.

Please tell me reason #1 is because it was poorly written Twilight fanfic.
It was not. It could have been number 6, but I bailed on the article the moment the dude trotted out the Because Christianity argument.
I read that same article Shrift and kept thinking "my reasons are not your reasons".
I know, right? Not seeing it because it's porn? Ha. I think it should be because it's BAD porn.

I'm glad Charlie Hunnam dropped out of it; I'd like for him to do better things with his career after SoA.

I haven't actually seen the 50 Shades trailer because no interest, but his 50S EW cover was very nice.

Thanks or that, Vonnie. Dumb commercial, but lots of shots of those pretty eyes.
