  • Publisher to Others: “People who can afford an ereading device can afford all proposed ebook prices.”
  • Twilight Fan to Universal Studios: “Your Wolfman movie ripped off Twilight: New Moon!” (I paraphrase and make the point clearer than the actual letter.)
  • The Crow remake (Only “It’s not a remake, it’s  relaunch.” ORlly? Then why are they casting for Eric Draven? Seriously, leave this one alone.)
  • This one I am utterly upset about: Repo Men the movie. It’s an action version of Repo: The Genetic Opera, which is a gorgeous, poignant piece of work, that sadly only has a cult following. The thing is, I would probably love this movie (it looks a lot like “The Island” as well, which I liked. What can I say, I love dark science fiction.) if I wasn’t hung up on this irritation that it’s so very close to another, overlooked  movie. Now, if someone more enlightened that I (and the posters on IMDB) can tell me that both are reworkings, or that the Repo:GO people were given a nod or something then maybe I could give this one a chance. (No really, please, please, please make me feel better about this movie if you can. I want to because I do so love the concept.)
