Sharp tongue much?

I have to giggle at this. I was reading some news this morn and spotted this in an article that talked about movies, especially popular ones, which are encouraging teenagers to read.  The author included an excerpt from the "Variety" magazine about Twilight.

Variety said it "should satiate the pre-converted but will bewilder and underwhelm viewers

Oh my word that is harsh!

I love the way they twist the more complimentary words such as best-selling and satiate into a nasty comment like that.

"juvie chick-lit franchise"

I agree 100%.

An insult with complimentary words, gotta have skills for that

(giggles) oh but funny... and from various other reviews I've read of Twilight, very appropriate.

I braved the movie, underwhelm is the right word:)

On the holiday my sister-in-laws daughter, Ross (15y), did not come out of her room for 5 days except for bathroom calls and to eat ... you got it - she was reading the Twilight series!
