    I think David Edelstein is more jealous of Keira Knightley’s jaw than I am, and I am pretty jealous of it. Maybe he and I should start a support group

    I love that list of movies trying to become the next Twilight just because these reviews, and the world in general, seem to be behaving as though Twilight invented the concept of a brooding outsider/paranormal creature falling in love with and trying to protect an awkward teenager. That’s pretty much every single story written by a 14 year old girl since 14 year old girls figured out how to write stories.

    When I worked for a Lit Agency in Boston I once got a pitch and the “Handle” was simply “Like Twilight, but with mermaids” and then I died and now I’m a zombie.

    No joke and not trolling: I intend to see the twilight movie at some point this weekend. Maybe we can all discuss these matters such as film review coverage and what not next week? Movie club stuff together as a family?

    Thank goodness Emmerich is off the Asteroids project. He was all wrong. It can only work if helmed by Herzog.

    “It’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God, but in space, and instead of Klaus Kinski, Sam Rockwell.” — me pitching the best movie ever made.
