Harry Potter ripped off the Hobbit. ;)


Wait--is The Hobbit going to be split into two parts? If it is, I had absolutely no clue that this was going to happen.

Like I'm such a huge LotR fan anyway...:-

I saw Breaking Dawn (and only beacuse my sister bought my ticket) and, even though it was PG13, it was pretty much borderlining on rated R. It was the most graphic, violent, and suggestive PG13 movie I've ever seen... Sorry to any Twighlight fans out there, but it is very low on my list.

THIS.

It's one thing for teenage girls to be crazy about Edward and Jacob, but all these "Twilight moms" freak me out. They must be in unhappy marriages or something and in desperate need of love.
THIS! \:D/

My friend was talking on and on about Breaking Dawn. . .sounds kind of gross, frankly :anxious: I don't see what's so good about them :anxious:

It's pop culture.


It is meant to be freaky \:D/

I watched the trailer for Breaking Dawn...and I yawned. Same ol' story...it's getting boring. A couple of girls that I know went to see it with the excuse, "I just want to see what the baby vampire will look like!" These girls are under 13 years of age, too :( In my head, I thought, "I just want the series to die!"

Yeah but.. that's the thing.

I watched it, and I was bored out of my mind. :/ Everyone made a big deal about everything.. sex scene, birth scene. The sex did not show ANYTHING, and the birthing wasn't even gory. Hardly any blood, guys.

I'm disappointed.
lol, jk.

But for having read the books first, it was just downright shallow.

Twilight is downright shallow no matter what angle you come at it from. :(

The books as far as I have seen (for i havent watched breaking dawn) are better than the movies. BUT any book where I have to skip pages I hate.

lol. THE TRAILER SPILLED THE MOVIE!

And uh... Renesmee, everyone knows who the actress is, and it ain't a secret. Just stare at her, you got it. lol. Srsly. Some people are weird. o.0

I went for Michael Sheen *swoons* - sadly, he's in three of the five movies, and hardly in them. :(

Harry Potter split first. They wanted to get the full book in film, so two movies. I mean, the first movie was two hours and 30 minutes long. And boring. The second one had action. Twilight is doing the SAME thing. Twilight split second on that decision, and the Hobbit, yes, will be in two parts. The first part comes out sometime next Christmas I believe. I've seen some behind-the-scenes footage. Looks awesome, even though I'm hardly a LotR fan. Can't get through the books or the movies, and I've tried.

But Twilight isn't worth the fuss, honestly....

PS: And how can that woman compare herself to SHAKESPEARE?! REALLY?! o.0 Srsly. I'm a better writer - and I'm not that great. Granted, I write drunks better than anything else *weird coincidence. I have no idea why*, but really? Shakespeare.... I think I feel sorry for her now.

I liked it, with the exception of Hermione being tortured and Harry nearly drowning...:anxious:

I feel sorry for her family, who have to put up with her and her ego on a daily basis. ;)

And according to an article I read on TV Tropes, "the way she takes criticism is expected from someone who's five years old."
