Yeah I was going to say, the Potter books really blazed the derivation trail for those other two.

If something is "derivative" of more than one source, then it's not really derivative. "Derived from" is a better term. Harry Potter is the Star Wars of books, and Twilight isn't the Harry Potter of anything (except maybe mindless trash).

The DVD commercial piqued my interest, and I had to see where the closest release party is for a smile. Oh and I took the Twilight character quiz-thingy...



Is that good?

Sidenote: I might rent this on Saturday.



Have a link to that quiz? I now who I'd get (Jacob Black - I love werewolves more than vampires too.) but I'm just curious to see who I'd get on that quiz.
Being a genocidal maniac is not one of my turn ons.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

No, that's not what derivative means in this context.

Harley, as of last Thursday, the quiz was located on its homepage...

...but unfortunately there's some contest in its place now.

I must add, Twilight, it was silly fun and well worth the purchase.

Because it is too stupid and girly to go in the movie section.

Because the only thing it's good for is a cutting board. Though I think a really good knife would slice right through both disc and case, so even in that it sucks.

Hahahaha! I said it sucks! I made a vampire joke!!
