24 Hours of Vampire Linkspam!

Awesome Twilight art is by the talented Amanda Bussell

So, if you listen to the podcast, you've already heard that this weekend, Laura and I discovered the horror that is Twilight. After reading through Cleo Linda's hilarious recaps, I felt it was totally necessary to compile a list of things I didn't realize I didn't know about vampires and werewolves. Full list after the jump (and a bit of email exchange classic™).

Brenda: Fair warning, Laura. I'm reading a recap of Twilight book four. I'm gathering a list of terrible things about it.
Laura: It gets worse than vampires that sparkle?
Brenda: Yes. Pick one: Incestuous thoughts. Baby-lusting. Performing a cesarean with your fangs. Discussing a time-share situation for your wife's vagina. I mean, seriously. There is no way this book is ever being made into a movie.
Laura: EW! EW! EWWWW! ...And yet, now I kind of want to read it, 'cause I'm sick like that.
Brenda: As Cleolinda has observed: "...was it like fucking a popsicle? These are the questions I find myself asking."
Laura: I thought of that when I saw the trailer. I couldn't imagine why anyone would want to touch someone whose skin was that cold.
Brenda: Well, she is clumsy. Perhaps she needs an ice pack all the time to cover her sprains.

From Gossip Girl To Marvel Girl

x-men%20fc%202.jpg

Rumors first started circulating about this months ago, and Variety is now reporting that Josh Schwartz, creator of "The O.C.," "Chuck" and "Gossip Girl," will be scripting "X-Men: First Class" for FOX. The studio declined to confirm any details about the project, but the article notes that FOX has been leaning towards using the younger characters from the previous films in future installments.

Resulting film would likely draw from elements of the Marvel comic of the same name, launched in 2006, and enlist such characters as Iceman, Rogue, Angel, Colossus, Jubilee and Shadowcat, who have appeared prominently or made cameos in prior pics.

Given Hollywood's penchant for reboots with new actors playing familiar roles, pic could also reintroduce characters. Comicbook revolves around the Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Beast, Iceman, Angel and Professor X.

Boldly Going Where Lots of People Have Gone Before

The new "Star Trek" trailer, which premiered before "Quantum of Solace" on Friday, is up at Apple.com. I have to admit, I was not expecting it to open with a car chase.

C'mon Get Happy. Do it. Get goddamned happy NOW.

Last Wednesday, a lot of terrible ideas were kicked around by Hollywood. First, a "Robin prequel" television series by the new showrunners of Smallville. Then, the Hollywood Reporter announced that NBC would pick up the script for a new version of "The Partridge Family."

The Peacock has picked up a contemporary single-camera take on the classic ABC sitcom to be written by Jeff Rake.... A fan of the 1970s series, Rake plans to "turn the premise on its head."

"In the original, the kids actually recruited their mom to front the band, which I can't see happening in any family on this planet," he said. "The new version will reflect what seems to me to be the more realistic family band scenario these days: a struggling, sort of well-meaning mom pimping her kids in order to create a wholesome-slash-sexy cash cow."

(More about "The Graysons" and Ten Inch Hero after the jump.)
