...also, Buffy and Blade fans
I'm in. *grabs phaser rifle and bat'leth*

This news is much better than the military giving tanks to the police, or North Korea having doomsday devices

It seems like everybody is moving forward. As if there is some final goal they can achieve and get to. I don't get it though. When I look around, it seems like I'm already there, and there is nothing left to do.

I wish I could take just one hour of what I experience out in nature, wrap it in a box, put a bow on it, and start handing out to people

I know I was born and I know that I'll die; The in between is mine."

Well this is.. interesting.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't overjoyed at the news, but they could've been rallying for something far more important, in my opinion...

Most of the time he's making witty comments about bigots and promoting gay rights.

[Ripley] I say we take off and nuke the sparkly vampires from orbit. It's the only way to be sure [/Ripley]

There will always be garbage entertainment that is popular for one reason or another, and rallying against it is just silly. After all, we have things like reality TV...

To be fair, Twilight is arguably worse than shallow garbage. When you analyse it, it contains and seems to promote some fairly disturbing ideas, especially in the case of Breaking Dawn

Well I don't really know anything about Twilight other than what I've heard, that it's really bad. Perhaps I should educate myself by watching the movies, unless the stupidity within is of 'my brain hurts' variety.

Are we talking about the books or the movies?

Both; it's more focused on how the characters interact, and how the story works.

(Although there is equal flak for stuff like the "west coast of Brazil." Go on, get a map, I'll wait. )
