That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

Download has finished.  Off to the Co-op to pick up supplies, then I shall return and heroically watch the film.

Make us proud.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Christ on a stick, I forgot how the Co-op magically turns into the 9th circle of hell an hour before closing time.  Also, the mountain's weather is sinister - I'm in the middle of a cloud, and storms are coming over the mountains to the south.  Shame this isn't a horror film, this is the perfect ambience for it.

LMNO, I only need one TV Tropes page, and that page is WANGST.

OK, I'm only two minutes in and I already have a "WTF?" moment.

Right, so this guy is being harassed by a vampire (presumably) moving at fast speed, knocking him into things, tripping him up etc.  And it runs in front of him and cuts his hand, and he falls to his knees, screaming.  His hand.  I thought he'd been disemboweled at first, because of the angle and the screaming, but no, it turns out this vampire is just picking on a giant, quivering pussy.


Cain

He's laying on the ground, in the rain, screaming, because a superfast vampire bit his hand.  Srsly. 

The set up for potential drama was so good, as well.

Freeky

Wow.

Hey is this the one with babbee vampires attacking Seattle orsomething?

Cain

Bella: when people my age get married, it means you got knocked up.
What Edward Should Have Said: You're fucking a VAMPIRE, an UNDEAD ABOMINATION, and you care what people think?

Edit: yes, it's the one in Seattle.

Cain

Edward actually made a funny "doesn't he [Jacob] own a shirt?"

I think this film is shaping up to be better than the previous ones, but mainly because of the Seattle vampire killings/Cullens and werewolves forced to cooperate plot pushing most of the angst into the background, by the standards of the series anyway.

Cain

Ah, these must be the bad guys now on my screen.  I can tell because they are vampires, and their eyes are red, while the Cullens have golden ones (when the director remembers to tell them to put their contact lenses in - in several scenes their eye colour is entirely normal).  Colour coding for your convienience, because the audience are morons.

Thurnez Isa

During the beginning they have some focus on that vampire family.. the Cullens.. and guess what... that part isn't horrible.
Other then that
Jacob becomes even more of a creepy stalker.
Robert Pattinson either tries to act, or has given up on this series a long time ago.
Bella is even more of a bitch.
Still a lot of homoerotic man meat, but less then the former movie
and don't go take a piss during the epic battle cause you'll miss it.

overall. It was so boring I feel bad for people who are going to attempt to make riff tracks for it.
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

:lulz: how would you go about it?

Wear a suit, stand outside convention with rainbow sign that says 'god hates goths'
Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Cain

Wait, that's Jasper's backstory?  Goddamnit Meyer, that is far more interesting than this tripe.  Why didn't you write a book about Jasper being a 19th century vampiric badass, apart from the fact it is too cool for you to ever do it justice?
