    Bookie I am so with you. I read all the books and if you're on the third one then you're in for a treat because it was the most bareable of the four.

    I get its fantasy but reading it from a guys pov kept me thinking I get why she's into them they're great looking super pwered creatures but what's their attraction to her. She's a very boring plain girl. I guess that's part of the fantasy that girls want for themselves no matter how plain you are you can get a whose natural instinct is to suck the life out of you lol.

    Hey I had an idea for a short film how much do they normally cost to make?

    Kathy Reichs did the tv show bones right? Great writer.

    Yes she did. She got a little lame lately, but last book was better again.
    My all time favorite is Jeffery Deaver though. He wrote "The bone collector" which was made into a movie starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington.
    That guys writing and plots are just amazing....

    I saw the movie but never read the book. I'm gonna have to check it out.

    That's very true. I don't understand their attraction to her. She doesn't have much of a personality on her own. But, yes, that could be it: hope for all of the plain girls.

    It all depends on how much you can get for free. We've made short films for $100 or less. It depends on locations, food for the actors and crew, etc.

    I saw the movie and didn't like it. I'm not sure I could read the book.

    Oh cool. Do you write scripts or do you direct or act?

    I don't direct. I've written scripts and have acted. :smt023

    I'm actually acting in a film right now. It's more of a favor to some film making friends, as the actress they had originally cast flaked out on them.

    I'm not big about being in front of the camera. I don't think the camera "likes" me. So, I tend to stay behind the scenes - script writing, casting, producing, etc.

    I love this J.D Robb (Nora Roberts) in Death series books:

    Creation in Death
    Promises in Death
    Possession in Death

    I'm not reading them in order, but the way they're written, you don't have to. So, I just read whichever one I can get my hands on. :)

    Psychological thrillers, dramas, basically we make movies that don't have the typical Hollywood-wrap-it-neatly-in-a-bow-happy endings. We've also done updates of some too-old-to-worry-about-copyrights stories. :smt023

    The movie I'm acting in now, though is a bit of a comedy, but then, I didn't write it. :smt043

    What too old to copyright projects have you done?

    Updating Edgar Allen Poe stories. We've been thinking about doing another one, but we'll see. I'm trying to get my partner to get on board with finally finishing the rewrite on a script we've had written for a couple of years now.

    His girlfriend broke up with him recently and he's been in a funk, though. :smt092

    What is Stephenie Meyer teaching young girls? :smt076

    Well, I'm about halfway through the last book now. I was so mad by the end of book 3 that I was thisclose to not reading the 4th book because at that point I didn't care how it ended. LOL.

    The 4th book has calmed me down and I'm learning to be "okay" with what happens. But this series is seriously one of the most contrived pieces of garbage I've read. LOL. And I hate myself for getting sucked into this stupid story anyway. :smt043
