Catching up, sorta
I really suck at life balance. I lurch from prioritising one thing totally over all else to prioritising something else completely... for six months or so it was work, and then a month ago I realised that the rest of my life had fallen into ruin, so now I'm on a 'get fit/healthy, get organised, get a life back' kick. Who knows if I can strike a

THIS. I know I shouldn't care but... I find the Twilight phenomenon a little bit frustrating. The first two books are almost tolerable. But the third and --especially-- the forth... Ugh. **shudders** I am going to watch New Moon though (morbid curiosity? ;P).
Jacob's pecs brightened things up CONSIDERABLY.
Glad to know. Jacob always was my favorite.

I think you'll be good with New Moon! I dreaded it but actually it was more amusing! And a bit faster paced than the first movie. Also Edward is blessedly off screen for a lot of it.

Ugh. Dude, that is the worst part... I find the whole Edwatd/Bella dynamic upsetting. And it *really* bothers me that so many women respond so strongly to that sort of old-fashioned gender stereotypes (but well, I am pretty touchy with gender issues, I must admit :)).

Werewolf: ::snarl, snarl, growl, growl, pant, pant pant, pant, pant...::
Well Yeah! Werewolves ARE ALL ABOUT THE PANTS! Duh!!!!
You just don't get it!!! :-D Hahaha! I just couldn't resist.
As for Smallville, I've been happy with the Season so far. Pandora was a little incoherent. And I am a Zod Lover, there! there! I like a raw, unpolished Zod. He doesn't have the ease and security of all that power of money behind him as the Luthors did. This Zod is an Horatio Alger kind of villain. He has to work for his badness ( ... )

I don't think that Clark would go crawling back to Lana if she ever showed up again.
Oh, I do! I just don't see that much from his side at all. Also he has a history of turning to whoever is there when he doesn't have a girlfriend. They haven't really shown me that Lois is special to him. If they played up the side where she gets the Blur better than anyone more, I'd get it. I think that Alicia thing is really important to Clark... but I don't feel he has as real and uninhibited a relationship as he had with Alicia. Even though that was crazy young love, Clark is holding back soooooooo much more with Lois. He's in control all the time and that doesn't imply any great affection to me.

Non-serious note!: (Wow, Edward, you are such a dreary dweeb... and is it just me, or was Pattinson not really feelin' it in a couple of those scenes? ;) )Ahaha. That poor boy cannot act at ALL. Which is good, because it adds to the wonderful cheesiness of the whole endeavor and ensures that I won't succumb to the id-candy appeal. A couple of my friends swear he's hot enough to make up for it, but I just don't see it. Not underneath that ( ... )

Really?! I'm trying to dig out a link to a series of posts from someone who was LDS and who wrote up really funny picspams about them drawing the parallels. So annoying, I can't find them right now.
But I can see why you might feel uncomfortable by people mentioning her Mormonism a lot. For me, it's irrelevant whether she's Morman, Catholic, Protestant, whatever... for me it's religion at all that bothers me (I'm stridently atheist). So I'd be as strident against it regardless but maybe that's different for other people... especially in the States maybe. I'm not surprised though, given the popularity of the books and their overt morality, that people are commenting on her religion.
it adds to the wonderful cheesiness of the whole endeavor Indeed! And I totally agree about Kristen Stewart's performance! I can't believe how bearable she makes Bella. It's quite uncanny. And I don't even like her looks or the actress ( ... )

You're probably thinking of the posts by... stoney123? 321? She's a former Mormon, and strongly anti-Mormon in tone. I wouldn't claim to be unbiased in my own posts about the books, but she certainly isn't either. I found her posts to be offensive; clearly I'm not her target audience. (Try the keyword sparkledammerung. I think she coined it.)
eta: it's stoney321, and googling the word works--first link on the page
