- YAAAAAY!!!! Pushing Daisies season 2 trailer!! It's hilarious and crack-laden and it wants you to love it!!! Seriously, in season 1 we got 9 episode of sugar and sweetness and puppy dog eyes between Chuck and Ned, but without being able to expand to 22 episodes, I don't think we got the full spectrum of just how hyper-on-speed, totally off the ( Read more... )

Oh man Twilight is such a joke. I can not stand Myers. I hate the way she writes, it is so bad that you can not take it seriously. Let's not get into the morals of what she writes.

As someone who is in LOTR and HP fandom. I know that the LOTR books are considered superior (The man wrote Elvish.) However the fandom does not look down on JKR. JKR was never hailed as being the next Tolkien. Which is where I think some of the HP animosity towards Twilight comes from. Calling Meyers the next JKR.

Now I am not saying JKR is the best writer there ever was. That being said she is a good writer, and her books are far more intelligent than that rubbish Twilight series.

In short, everyone look down on Twilight. Not just HP fans.

Never mind the fact that Meyers let on that she thinks her fourth book will need to be split into 2 films. Bitch please. Stfd.

Ah she thinks she's in Deathly Hallows territoy, eh? My God... And given that basically nothing happens in New Moon and Eclipse, I wouldn't be surprised if only one film sequel was made, condensing everything and just focusing on the ~drama~ from the final book.

Imo, not even DH qualifies for that treatment but the fact that she said it, smacks of supreme smugness. I would LAUGH if that happened, so damn hard.

Good to know that everyone looks down on Twilight! ;o) And calling Meyer the next JKR is ridiculous, and it really is just baiting most HP fans because of how very bad a writer the former is. LotR is my favourite of all three by a long shot, but I was just wondering if I was missing some sort of inter fandom flame war when I read a discussion about LotR fans looking down on HP fans and so on. Glad I was wrong. Twilight isn't even in their category, not by a long shot. The most popular comparison should be against Anne Rice since she's the vampire genre empress. There are zero similarities between Twilight and HP except for the fact that they're both stocked in the Fantasy section.

I honestly HATE Anne Rice. She is a bitch and just awful to her fans. However, she knows how to write a series about vampires. I give her that!

Meyers could pick up a point or two from her.

I have no idea what Rice is like and I've little experience with her books, but I did find it weird on FanFiction.net a few years ago, to see that she was one of only a few authors to have legally required FF.net to ban fanfic based on her books. That's just so strange to me.
