    Hannah- Actually there are people on here who bash the books, and then claim, in other threads, to be fans. So, I’m not assuming anything, as I’m not basing my opinion off of anything from this one thread. Also, I think that assuming that anything about the quality of writing is a “fact” shows that you don’t understand that writing (of any kind) is always judged by different people in different ways- so, what one person hates, another person may love. To diminish anyone’s opinion (including the opinion of those who love Twilight) indicates a lack of understanding for the fact that reading a book is a subjective experience.
    Anyways, CHardwicke needs to stay AWAYYY from this project.

    Is it possible to get a Twilight-free version of EW.com I am getting really bored.

    I know I might get barked at for saying this (or bitten in the neck), but I really hope it doesn’t star Robert Pattinson. Seeing him at the MTV Movie Awards should how much fame went to his head. Even Kristen Stewart rolled her eyes after the “I don’t think I can carry any more of these” quote.

    Adam- When Rob was on stage accepting his award for best fight, he said that he would NEVER win in a fight against Cam, and he actually thanked his stunt double onstage…and, backstage, he said “I’ve never won a fight in my life.”
    How much more humble can one be?
    But, as a Rob fan, I NEVER want to see him in a Hardwicke-directed film EVER AGAIN.
    I think that some people feel as though Twilight fans worship Hardwicke…that’s not the case. Most Twilighters HATE her because she butchered the book that we love so much.

    I’ll watch whatever Catherine Hardwicke directs. She discovered Robert Pattinson (yes, he was in Harry Potter, but no one knew he existed back then). And now he’s at the top of my celebrity sex list at http://shackinguplife.com
    Who’s on your list?

    Do we need another Hamlet? Hollywood has made three versions in the last 20 years. Enough is Enough! How about remaking MacBeth? Always loved the three witches.

    I rather watch the real thing with David Tennant and Patrick Stewart. And I’ll understand it without “Shakespeare for Dummies”, thank you very much.

    East coast liberal arts college? They should definitely shoot this at Williams!

    Oohh… Shakespeare? This will be interesting. :)
