It's not a rubbish book!

Why is it schmaltzy? Because it has a happy ending? The main character gets bumraped repeatedly, which is not something I associate with lazy feelgood cinema.

It's just so Hollywood and sentimental. Bleugh! Green Mile too.

Ooh no no no! Both were great, but the book (and the rest of the quartet) is a masterpiece

Twilight - book was mediocre but the film was amazing, especially when Edward and Bella meet the first time. So intense. Yah.

I take it you prefer Jacob for Bella
I haven't a fucking clue what you're on about. Twilight, books or films, is fucking dross.

1000 year old vampire goes back to school in order to snare the attentions of a girl barely out of training wheels. this is healthy

Well, it wouldn't be the first vampire story with pedo subcurrents.
Sure shawshanks a bit sacharine, but it still works pretty well as a movie. Hardly up there with the greatest of all time, either, but still above average bit of entertainment.

Yes, anything where Bladerunner isn't the evidence.

I see your point truckstop but in the same way that Bram Stoker had sexual undercurrents as opposed to Anne Rices overt celebration of the sexuality of vampire mythos there is a difference between it being a bit eyebrow raising when Angelus fucks Buffy and this geez deliberately going to her school in order to nonce on it. I suppose it was always going to be the end result of the re-rise (heh) of vampire fiction but did we have to get to the point where the vampires excess strength breaks the bed while fucking the girl he picked up from a damn school? Lordamercy.
At least in Anne Rice the vampires had consequences to themselves, beating themselves up for centuries, getting pwnt by Armand, having their unholy selves hounded out of their home by slaves etc.
This cunts just a diddler without a cause

Oh good shout. The sookie stackhouse novels are fucking awful. SHOW don't TELL. And for gods sake don't use the word 'class' in a prissy southern manner to refer to morals.
The True Blood series though, top stuff, gloriously trashy. But fuck that woman cannot write at all.

Stop...Hammertime
I picked up all the Sookie Stackhouse novels for £10 at a book sale, still not felt the slightest desire to read them 
(although that could be down to a lack of Anna Paquin de-robing in written text).
