You know what’s really scary about this?
It’s going to actually happen. :eek:
I’m still confused. He is supposed to be hot in that photo?
Anyway, I guess 2 90-minute movies will make more money than 1 3-hour movie. I’m glad Peter Jackson didn’t split up LotR. Even if they were long (use the restroom before starting and don’t drink anything while watching), I much prefer 1 package. Can you imagine 6 LotR movies?
Yeah, it’s “weighty enough” to warrant two movies. It doesn’t have anything to do with older sibling envy of Harry Potter. Not at all…
…or The Hobbit.
Cause commerce has nothing to do with it.
Yeah. They’re called the extended director’s cuts. 
(I’m too old to sit through an entire one of those in one sitting. Hell, I can’t even do all three original Star Wars films at once anymore. Those days are long behind me.)
gasps Say it ain’t so. Do I have that to look forward to as I get older?
Unless Badger and I go up to the Amish and actually tell them, given we live in “Amish Country.”
I think the Mormon bashing’s a comes from a stereotype about those who are sheltered for religious reasons. Other examples are home-schooled kids and grads of places such as Bob Jones U (note: Meyer is a Brigham Young alum). It’s free-floating and poorly-thoughtout, as such things normally are, but not exactly new. I say this to explain, not justify.
That said, I stuck me as being the unholy union of two interesting theories I’d heard of recently. The first is that Dracula is a sort of chaste Victorian rape-fantasy. His victims are mostly young women, there’s the forceable violation of the drinking, etc. It’s all titillation and love and passion without actual sex. The other half is boy-bands, which are also all about passionate, but chaste, desire. Stephen King seems to agree with me about the books.
I guess my point is that when the author of the post says mormon, he means repressed, he’s just too busy being shocking to understand the distinction.
No offense, but I think you’re too optimistic or too nice. Not that that’s a bad thing. There are jerks on the internet, and I think the Mormon basher is one of them. d:

I was simply trying to be descriptive. Sometimes that’s the deepest damnation.
