(Yes, I am going to sneak into this thread at random and say one or two things and then disappear mysteriously )

And serious question: how much of the movie was spent just basically staring at shirtless werewolves? Not that I'm not into shirtless men, but...I prefer there to be a purpose to the shirtlessness. *Is lame*
HAHA, yeah, I didn't put any spoiler worthy. You could get those from the Trailer, lol.

I really didn't think it was that much. I mean, whenever you saw them, they were shirtless and then Jake is shirtless sometimes. But srsly, it wasn't like in the theater everyone went "OMG!"

Good evening,all.

I ate Thanksgiving dinner at school with my kids. Godawful stuff and an insult to Southern cooking. The hell?

Writing is going WELL! I'm killing things and the vampires are ripping necks open. Tis wonderful.

*wipes away tears of joy*

I wish you all a terrific weekend and happy writing.

It is the password protected place to put up our work, usually on Friday nights, hence Friday night writes (FNW) There is also Mid Day Writes.

When we play we post what we are writing and rep each other and sometimes chat. It can be inspiring to write with others

What kind of movie kills the husband during the opening credits after building a great relationship with the wife then makes it so damn sad for the next 20 minutes or more? Especially killing Gerard Butler - he's too sexy with that Irish accent.
