It looks stupid in that really corny/cheesy kind of hilarious way.canadamus_prime said:
Like they're going for that it seems, which can either go wildly right or horribly wrong.
Yo Dawg. I've heard you like a plot twist. So let me put a plot twist in your plot twist so you can twist the plot while twisting the plot.rayen020 said:
Searching about the twist on MI:CoB I came across this quote:
"As readers of the series, we know how the story plays out. We know that they aren?t brother and sister. (http://tmisource.com/2011/05/17/lily-collins-talks-about-clary-and-jaces-controversial-relationship/)"
Dunno if it's true though...

I'm thinking horribly wrong, esp considering certain other inevitable scenes... *shiver*Frostbite3789 said:
Yeah kind of sad. Wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing that Hollywood doesn't or can't try to cash in other fandoms. Twilight is horrible, but on the other hand comic book movies are getting to be quite good. Personally my preferred medium is fantasy, which outside of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones (the HBO treatment here is awesome!) it's mostly overlooked.Trishbot said:
These books tend to be much bigger than their teen fiction counterparts, so it's probably better to go the HBO method rather than the movie method, which unfortunately loses a lot of budget. If it did get picked up more though one that would probably work well for movies is the Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy.
On the Mortal Instruments twist
**SPOILERS***
Worked for Star Wars
***END SPOILERS***
Honestly, one of my favorite gothic horror novels - Dhampire, by Scott Baker, had a very similar twist - and then went on for another 100 pages, sex included. Still somehow worked for me, as at that point it went to fucked up world.

I can't believe someone chose a zombie of all monsters to put in a romantic movie. Vampires have superpowers. Zombies can, um... shuffle, and survive dismemberment. I bet the ladies love guys who can do that.
When you mentioned that scifi movie, I was so sure you were going to say the parasite fell in love with its host. That could actually be kind of interesting. Its forcing its host to do all these auto-erotic things and forcing the host to love it while trying to cope with the fact that it is overriding the hosts will and is as such not treating its lover with love.
What it actually is does not sound interesting to me at all though.

All is forgiven, all I ask now is an ancient Egyptian deity romance flick. Like... Not-Bella and Anubis hooking up to preserve cosmic balance against Lovecraftian horrors.
Bloody hell, suppose if you want anything done properly, you'll have to do it yourself...

Kristin Stewart should play a zombie in one of these movies. Imagine the money they'd save on make-up
Not to speak for Bob, but I'm guessing he left that off because the first Hunger Games movie was already released, whereas the stuff he covered is upcoming.FelixG said:
Did that zombie romance film remind anyone else of Fallout?
With the sentient and feral ghouls it just seems obvious.

*slow clap* I should not be laughing at this. You should not be encouraged.DVS BSTrD said:
If it weren't for his inclusion of The Host I would suspect Bob gave it a bye because it wasn't a supernatural romance. I would like to think he didn't include it because its better quality, though he pretty much panned the movie. I found Hunger Games to be very well written (as best I can judge given that I'm neither in the target age nor gender demographics), though IMHO the first book was stronger than its sequels.Absolutionis said:
Easy there, hoss. People make up new names all the time and with good reason - maybe this author didn't want to use a word freighted with meaning from the Old Testament. Consider how comic fanboys react when someone messes up an origin story. If I was an author writing pulp fantasy I'd probably cross to the other side of the proverbial street to avoid a confrontation with bible fanboys. Or maybe it was to clarify - a quick wikipedia check of the word means that one translation that's been passed down simply means 'giants' or 'fallen warriors'. And while Nephilim is indeed a name given to the children of angels and men, I suspect there are words from other cultures which are no less on the mark. So, you know. Chill.Abandon4093 said:
Seconded. It'd take a lot of rhetorical wind out of people's sails but arguments would be a lot more clear if people 'fessed up when they knew they weren't part of the intended audience when posting online. Everyone's still entitled to opinions but if IRL I complain that Justin Beiber doesn't do much for me as a pop star, I'm just going to get I bunch of weird looks. Because yeah, the music might be insipid but I'm not a tweenage girl so, you know. I should fuckaway off and find something I do like.Screamarie said:
I went to Sandman Slim, personally, but I grok the reference.Harker067 said:Anyone else hear shadowhunter and start thinking Gabriel Knight?

I Can't say it really worked for star wars, it was that one time "thing" when Han was being annoying on hoth and besides it had always been Han that the tension was coming from not Luke.
Instead of finding what the next Twilight will be, why don't we find what the next Avengers Saga will be, or some other good movie series.
No, not only that, guys also get all kinds of shit from others for being "immature idiot man-boys" by enjoying entertainment with violence or something that involves attractive women (been getting it from a lot of gaming columnists and videos lately too unfortunately).brazuca said:
That stuff is wrong, but middle-aged women publicly forming groups dedicated to lusting after hunky shirtless under-age teenage guys in romance-porn is fine.
All I could think about when Bob showed that clip at the beginning was Saxton Hale. It should have a text box that reads "COUGAR TACKLE!" or something.
