"Does this disaffected yet tragic expression make my hips look big?"I have secured a copy of the New Moon DVD and plan to watch it over vacation, MST3K-style. Who's coming with me?

- I am a big proponent of the Oxford comma, I hate when people say "I could care less" when they actually mean "I couldn't care less", I think people who live in the southern hemisphere are tragic because their Christmas comes in the summer.

Oh, I am so in.
yo....rifftrax!
So where do you stand on the "Do vampire's have sparkly asses?" debate?
See James, if you were coming home for the vacation you could watch with us. You could pose all the sparkly butt questions you wanted. But no! You and your West Coast. Whatever!
And what is MST3K-style?
And I'm not in on these. I have no desire to read the books or watch the movies either.
MST3K = Mystery Science Theater 3000, a magnificent show whose premise was that a man had been kidnapped by an evil mad scientist and marooned on a space station. The mad scientist strove to drive the man mad by forcing him to watch hideous films. The man instead fashioned several robots out of junk parts and he and two of the robots (Crow and Tom Servo) watch the films together and retain their collective sanity by mocking the films' wretched scripts/performances/production values, etc.
If you've ever heard me say, "All that movie was missing were the little robot silhouettes at the bottom of the screen," this is what I'm referencing.
All this is to say, we're planning to watch New Moon and rip it to shreds, thus retaining our sanity and enjoying much merriment. We all fully expect the "film" to be horrendous.
OK. Now I get it. I've heard of MST3K, but never watched it. I think it was on HBO or something wasn't it (i'm thinking it was on a channel we never got)?
And bashing these movies sounds fabulous. I personally think these books/movies sound gay! If I'm around I'll be in!
The books are actually not bad. They're not great literature or anything, but I enjoyed them. Stephenie Meyer (the author) is not a great writer, but she is a good storyteller. She made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen. Like, keep reading 'til 4AM. But the movies are an abomination, both as a book adaptation and a piece of film. Horrendous, painful, hilarious.
you also need to have a drinking game on when Kristen Stewart bites her lip or says "um". You'll get wasted pretty quick.
I just need to confess that I've seen it already. Don't judge. It was a long flight to China!
