Well, seeing how my town of 70,000 has a 10 screen theater and the town next to us that is SMALLER has a BIGGER theater, I call bullshit on the two screen theater. I've been to one but it was in Terrace BC (which is three hours away from the Alaskan Boarder) and that town had less than 10,000 people in it. Probably not even close to that number. That town was fucking TINY and I was stuck there for a week and a half. I don't see Fitzpatrick putting her beloved characters in a town that small.
I've never seen Being Human, so it's pretty tiny I recognized the characters. I just don't know which version.
"I don't see Fitzpatrick putting her beloved characters in a town that small."
That's just it. I never got the impression that the town was anything but average. Why would the theater be so tiny? Between that and some bathroom fail in part two, I'm seriously thinking she's never been to a movie theater.

Oh, they're from the British version. That's the only version I watch regularly. ^^; I saw a bit of the American version, but it was pretty much the same thing, but blander, and without the English accents. So...BBC for me! :D
My aunt lives in a town that used to have a two-screen theater, but it got torn down in order for a bigger theater to be built. There are only about 7,000 people living in that town (however there is a nearby ski resort...), so I think a town would have to be *really* tiny to have a theater that small. Reading the sporking, I never got a sense that Nora's town was that tiny.
Also, the spitefic was amazing. Points for using "Being Human".
Thanks! :D Those three wouldn't put up with Patch for an instant. Annie would have hated him because of Owen and an educated Jewish guy like George would know about the fallen Watchers. And Mitchell wouldn't put up with a supernatural being harassing someone like that!
“Cas-hey. Cas. Castiel. This is Bezaliel you’re talking to!” Patch was babbling, backing up and taking me with him.
“Patch-what are you-” I whispered, but I felt his hand on my arm suddenly twitch and my eyes widened when I realized I couldn’t talk anymore.
“Castiel, look-I’ll let her go. Okay? I’ll let her go and she can leave and won’t be harmed. I’ll even wipe her mind-she won’t remember any of this. Come on!” Patch’s tone was already desperate, even as Castiel advanced slowly and deliberately towards us.
“I found it hard to believe that you would Fall to this, brother. To preying upon young, innocent girls, spinning elaborate false scenarios with them, using the humans around you to create your state because you cannot simply make the stage yourself, like an archangel can. All for what-your own entertainment? The pleasure of mating with them in the end?” Castiel said, his tone full of disgust.
“What-you gonna tell me I’m all bad and shit because I dare mess up the lives of a few incredibly stupid teenaged girls? Why don’t you
( ... )
It was over as quickly as it happened. Shivering, I slowly managed to sit up again, blinking rapidly, trying to clear my head and knowing it was impossible, not after-not after-
Castiel was pulling the knife out of Patch’s chest. I stared, numb with disbelief, as he wiped it clean on his coat and then easily slid it back into his sleeve. When he turned, I barely noticed the blood had disappeared from his clothes.
“You killed him,” I whispered. “You-why would-”
“I do what must be done,” Castiel said simply. He looked at me and I shrank away from the gaze of the savior I couldn’t help but think was a murderer, but he wasn’t, no, my head-it hurt, and I felt
( ... )
And it is scarily accurate too, by way of Patch's massive sense of entitlement and "Well she was asking for it!". Although according to Fitzpatrick, Patch WAS an archangel before he fell, which boggles my mind.
Oh wow, I have NEVER seen a cinema in the US that only has two theatre halls. I know back home there's a town with a cinema that only has ONE theatre hall, but that's an entirely different story. Not many people like the cinema there and prefer to rent DVDs.
I honestly don't know. Apparently it's right next to an amusement park/arcade/promenade and the high school sounds like it's about the same size as mine (and my neighborhood wasn't very small). I do know that Nora conveniently lives on the far edge of nowhere, but other than that, I'm stuck.
I guess it's good that this town is a made-up town, meaning that Fitzpatrick isn't messing up any real town?
At least, I hope it's a make-believe town. I can't find "Coldwater" in Maine and Google kept on giving me Hush Hush-related stuff.
And a fourth book is about to come out. Here I was thinking that the third one was the last. I want to tear my hair out >.< I'm reminded of Christopher Paolini extending his series into four books because the third book is overflowing with unnecessary crap. Ugh.
Well, there's a Coldwater Michigan. I have no idea if Fitzpatrick used that as a model or not, especially since she named a place near Toronto as somewhere Nora allegedly spent the night.
Yes, a fourth book is coming out. >_< The fans wouldn't stop squeeing, because clearly they couldn't get enough of this bullshit in three books. Myself, I'm only looking forward to it out of morbid curiosity. I hate this book, I loathe the sequel, and I've only read the prologue of the third and already want to slap Patch silly.
Yeah, the artwork does look better, though Patch looks FAR from the sexy dude we're supposed to think he is. (In my opinion, at least)

You agree with me, yay! I looked at the art samples and laughed at it because Patch totally ISN'T sexy at all. Kim Young's Edward was actually better-looking IMO.
Which is saying a lot, given that Edward in that graphic novel appears to have crawled out of the uncanny valley. O_o
Although I guess it's not all the artist's fault that Patch looks like that. Apparently Fitzpatrick thinks that baseball caps are another Bad Boy sign (along with pool and fondling the hips), so Patch is rocking the backwards-hat look, which no one except for schoolchildren think looks badass. XD

The comic looks better than Twilight's, though.
