- 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

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.

[whywastewords]

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.

[marcella_riddle]

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.

I see where you're going with Doctor Who, I just think the tone of the scene was a bit too ambiguous, in that for some it seems to have been a happy ending while for others it's the furthest from that. I'm more with your school of thinking; that they have MAJOR issues to work on and, if I were to write fic, they'd probably split up.

As for films; I loved Atonement and Casino Royal (I'm no Bond fan either).

[whywastewords]

Yes - my only problem with the scene would probably be that it's uncertain if we're supposed to take it as a happy ending, especially as neither Rose nor Ten seemed particularly happy. I cannot possibly take it as a happy ending, and that suits me just fine, but what disturbs me is that RTD most likely DID intend it to be taken as such. *shiver*

[marcella_riddle]

The way Rose looked back right after the kiss just made it all seem so put-on, for me. Like "I'll pretend I'm alright" when really she wasn't. I'm sure I've read comments where he's said it's supposed to be unclear, and the fact that Tennant and Piper subscribe to that theory too, warms me greatly.

OH PUSHING DAISIES, I remember watching and thinking, this could actually be a little more cracky. It's awesome, so so awesome. CAN'T WAIT TILL IT'S BACK!

I won't go into details, because I will say nasty stuff about characters I don't want to saw nasty stuff about, but the reasons you liked the DW ending for Rose is nearly exactly why I hate it. I honestly found that a bit amusing. :)

[whywastewords]

I cannot fathom how awesome the crackiness of Pushing Daisies is - and how it works so well too.

On DW, I guess I'm coming from the Joss Whedon school of emo, and I've gotten used to accepting and most times actually loving horrible, tragic endings. I get that the scene is so completely wrong and it just backs up the things I've begun to hate Ten over. It was a downright odd decision for him to make I think (and it wasn't even HIS decision to make, but let's not go THERE). Not to bait you into saying that nasty stuff you wanted to avoid saying, ;o), but can I ask what you disliked about the scene or why? For example, would it have been better for you if Rose had decided herself to return to Alt Earth and Human Ten had asked himself to stay with her rather then Ten ordering them there?

[meganlynn09]

First, obviously, the fact that Rose didn't make the decision herself. Loathe that to a degree that is quite terrible

[whywastewords]

I actually agree with every single point you've made. I suppose like you said, it's just funny how despite this, our reactions were so opposite

[dancing_in_time]

Yeah yeah, I'm like the only person in your flist who probably LIKES Twilight, but to each their own, I won't hate you for hating it. I just happen to be easily amused and am glad to be reading something that doesn't make me think really hard or is a textbook. Ew, classes.

DW ending = Awesome. You're right about imperfect being more interesting. I occasionally wonder how Rose and Human Ten are dealing and it's great that we can do that. Yay angst!

And speaking of, Atonement is SO DANG SAD TIMES FORTY-TWO. Seriously. But it's so good and I really need to read the book now. I'm not a Bond fan, but I enjoy Casino Royale (I'll let the opening credits take most of the blame) for some good ol' violence. Out of The Illusionist and The Prestige, I like the former better. Prestige confused me so so much and that didn't sit well with me, but Illusionist was fantastic and I quite loved it. A lot.

So, you have a good line up of movies waiting for you. Enjoy!
