*flop*
I intended to be a lazy bastard today, but... that ended up not happening. So I'm still tired, and I'm only going to give you the choicest linkspam because, again: tired. And also, my inbox is on fire.
(But it's a good tired. I've still got more work to do, but I cannot tell you how mellow I feel now that I've got " Twilight in Fifteen Minutes"--something I've worried about writing for six months now--behind me.)
Big money! No Whammies!: "Also, sources say stars Robert Pattinson, 22, and Kristin Stewart, 18, will get huge salary boosts from the $2 million each earned for 'Twilight' -- reportedly $10 million more, per film, plus a nice percentage of the future movies' box-office take." Where I come from, we call this "hazard pay."
The final Growing Up Cullen. And I totally understand, too. There's a reason I only post a few Fifteen Minutes(es?) per year--because there's a sense of diminishing returns (and writerly fun) after a while.
(Does my scrapbook dazzle you? Yes, it is actually a Twilight-themed set.)
Remember the epic USAWeekend comments? (The one where my favorite was from "Susan Pevensie"?) Well, now there are icons. Lots and lots of icons.
‘Twilight’ drinks in $70.6 million; Vampire Bites Dog; Twilight's First Day Is A Hit - But What Happens Next?; Script already finished for ‘Twilight’ sequel; In The Wake Of ‘Twilight,’ Here’s My ‘New Moon’ Wish List; Why 'Twilight' is Historic for Women Filmmakers.
The Soup takes on Twilight; Twilight parody: 'Dimlight'; 7 Vampires Better Than Twilight's Edward Cullen [Suck It]; Robert Pattinson Plays Dumb About the Appeal of Hair He Can't Stop Touching.
Oh, and by the way, I have to give a shoutout to the Geektress podcast, which discusses Twilight in general for a while and my recaps in particular for a bit, as well as a number of comics and TV shows.
Regular linkspam!
