anyone remotely attached to twilight should not be offered any work EVER! i never read the books – wouldn't be caught dead with it more like… and i took the movie for what it was supposed to be about. i found neither Pattison nor Stewart even remotely attractive broody or scary in any which way… that movie was just wrong and a majority of it rests with Hardwicke.

Hirsch is actually a very talented actor… i LOVED him in into the wild, he was superb in MILK and actually quite good in speedracer. why he would want to associate himself with hardwicke is beyond me.

@Eric: Nah, that was all Julie Taymor... I think Trevor just got mixed up.

@Trevor: Across the Universe? Did she have something to do with that movie?

I'm not sure he died again, but I'm pretty sure he just dug several feet further into the ground with the rapid rolling motion his body was doing.

So it's pretty much Hardwicke's M.O. to make horrible fiction into horrible film or turn classic fiction into horrible film? At least she's found her niche.

I will say "Dogtown" was actually decent, but "Across the Universe" was a bad/very predictable use of classic Beatles tunes and I believe I've said my piece on the whole Twilight "saga" at this point.

Hamlet as a supernatural thriller?
