Just to Tide You Over

The biggest news of the week for Pajibans (and Twilight fans, but I repeat myself) is that the trailer for Eclipse finally gets released at 9 a.m. EST on Thursday March 11th. I KNOW! I’m totally screaming too. But if you just absolutely can’t wait for that, then there’s even better news: a ten second clip of the trailer will be released on Wednesday. I’m so going to stay up finishing the story I’m writing in which Jacob and Edward fall in love with me and I commit suicide so that Bella can have both of them because she’s my BFF.

But if you somehow don’t find Twilight interesting, here might be something a little more up your alley: teenage lesbian werewolves.

Jack and Diane is a film described thus by the press release:

Jack and Diane, two teenage girls, meet in New York City and spend the night kissing ferociously. Diane’s charming innocence quickly begins to open Jack’s tough skinned heart. But, when Jack discovers that Diane is leaving the country in a week she tries to push her away. Diane must struggle to keep their love alive while hiding the secret that her newly awakened sexual desire is giving her werewolf-like visions.

So it’s Ginger Snaps except stupid. Oh, that John Mellencamp song makes so much more sense now. I’m just going to go out on a limb and speculate that the defining characteristics of werewolves (furry, muscular, toothy) do not overlap particularly well with the generally accepted model of attractive lesbians. One might point out that they are actually the exact opposites of each other.

Filming starts later this year, with an expected release date sometime in 2011.

Lesbianism = Werwolfism?
This movie would probably go over well in Florida.

Why would you appropriate the title of a song to make a movie on a subject that has nothing to do with the song? Is there some ironic point? Marketing ploy?

"Oh yeah, life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone."

That doesn't seem to be the theme of the movie, does it?

*baffled*

I can't even express how upset I am that you used that simile. I think I'll just throw myself off of a cliff into the frigid ocean and hope a sparkly vampire or curiously hairless werewolf saves me.

That is, after I write some fan-fic about vampire/werewolf race relations. I'm hoping Spike Lee will produce and direct it.

Who names their daughter "Jack" anyway? What's the matter, "Frank" and "Chet" were too feminine? Retards.

True story: one of my facebook "friends" (I knew her from high school) runs a Twilight blog, writes Twilight fanfic and sometimes uses the last name Pattinson.

I feel I should add that she is 26 years old. And single, but that part goes without saying. I kinda just keep her on my friends list so that when I have a bad day, I can say, "at least I have my dignity". Does this make me a bad person?

Oh man. This gives me a great idea for a Guy Ritchie directed "Werewolves of London".

Optimus, I would watch that. Statham walking past Trader Vic's only to see Bullet Tooth Tony slamming a pina colada in a series of smash cuts, then getting a hell of a brain freeze.

Hell yeah, Vikky. Bullet Tooth Tony mutilating Betty White would be tops, too.

Quorren: I have that same friend. Except she's 45. And I keep her around for pretty much the same purpose. Let's make a Bad Person Club!
