Unless, that is, if direction told her to play Bella at all times a little nauseated and confused. In that case she should be put forth for an academy award!Milahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731959771455915319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-19840873941557392642012-11-22T13:59:54.786-06:002012-11-22T13:59:54.786-06:00I will also note for the future that in regards to...I will also note for the future that in regards to your automated comment posting system, and keeping your page more towards the side of pg-13, not to lead off further tirades with lines like "sweet hairy balls of fury".

Of course not having to watch any of this myself to enjoy it's roasting, I felt you probably needed props for your sacrifice. Watching 5 minutes of this on the tele last week (as it was everywhere it needed to be for free in the big run up to the finale)left a scar on my soul I'm not even sure the birth of my first child will erase. So I'll just leave it at "I heart you" and with a Thanksgiving/Christmas wish that you don't miss noble Edgar, long suffering Buddha, and that Taylor Laudanum fellow too much in the long dark night that the closure of the series has left us all to deal with, each in their own small way.Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265209285347210130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-36157199356167719352012-11-22T12:22:48.695-06:002012-11-22T12:22:48.695-06:00"R-Patz" sounds like a senator designati..."R-Patz" sounds like a senator designation.Andrew Testermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636448677366233823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-75921141319420729432012-11-22T11:03:23.343-06:002012-11-22T11:03:23.343-06:00"the most humiliatingly fake-looking CGI in a..."the most humiliatingly fake-looking CGI in any serious release in all of 2012"<br /><br />Just out of curiosity, are you counting <i>Ayn Rand Was a Terrible Person: Part II</i> as a serious release?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746879465441355664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-54964552387501881042012-11-22T10:48:07.381-06:002012-11-22T10:48:07.381-06:00When you called him (R-Patz), my immediate assumpt...When you called him (R-Patz), my immediate assumption was that this was some sort of strange joke about his putative state and party affiliation.

I'm afraid that I cannot follow you to calling <i>Underworld</i> enjoyably bad - parts of the first, lots of the second, and some of the third, but the parts that are only bad-bad are <i>so</i> terrible...<br /><br />Rick- Or even 40 years ago, when it was <i>The Godfather</i>, back when they knew how to make outstanding movies from middleweight source material. That's what bothers me most about this franchise: nobody cared enough to try to elevate the material, since they knew the brand name was all it took for even the worst piece of crap to turn a profit.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491952893581644049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-86406326869374386482012-11-22T10:17:53.013-06:002012-11-22T10:17:53.013-06:0050 years ago, the hit film based on a popular best...50 years ago, the hit film based on a popular best-seller was <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i>.

Knowledge of the first one is understandable cos, you know, curiosity is a bitch and all, but to keep reading until the end? <br /><br />I do not envy the kind of blackmail some nasty, evil person must hold over you to force you to waste so much of your life on something like tw*Y*light.<br /><br />PS- The Bill Condon part had me cracking up.The.Watcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06746957245529915320noreply@blogger.com
