In your opinion, which company makes the best laptops?

Although the crew of the Twilight Saga films is totally different from the crew that's signed on to The Host, I had a silly thought today: What if some actors/actresses from the Twilight series were recast in The Host? Of course it would never happen (almost never), but it'd be fun to recast them.

So let's have fun and come up with who would play who!

Of course, this is not serious and just for fun, so keep it classy :)

Disclosure: I am an academic who supports fans. I think literary critics should respect fans and recognise that you are complex, intelligent, and able to enjoy a book without necessarily modelling your lives on it.

I think fans are not victims, and I want to find out what Twilight means to you.  If you want to share your thoughts, please consider trying my survey at SurveyMonkey, here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/9NB3Y9H Anything you contribute will be made anonymous in any analysis I write, and I’ll let you know if I do write anything.

Thanks to everyone who kindly added their two bob in my last post. No, there hasn't been any posting since I removed the current posters - for anyone wailing and gnashing their teeth at the lack of wordiness, I apologise! It will all start up again once the new posters are sorted.

We have some volunteers for the new regime of posters, and I was gonna email you all individually to work out who wanted to post when, but it seems easier to just post here. Anyone who doesn't comment by, say, Friday, will get a little reminder nudge to take a peek.

Anyway! Thus far I have the following posters on the following days:

cecilegrey and brbplayingchess wanting Mondays, andmiss_daizy and rainbow_yarn wanting Tuesdays. You two will need to work out who gets Tuesdays.

cecilegrey is also up for Fridays, potentially giving brbplayingchess.Mondays.

This leaves fidgetspin, prettygoodword  and myself to fill in the last three days! Once we've got all that sorted out, I'll add to the roster, edit the profile page and we can get this nerdywordyparty started!

Discuss away!

EDIT: Sorry about the confusion, guys - LJ ate up most of what I'd written. None of you were left out at all! Edited correctly now.

Originally posted this in thehost_movie, but then figured I might as well post it here since there's a tiny bit about the books. It's not exactly NEWS, but it's all we're getting so far!

The Host movie

No doubt the announcement that The Host would be made into a movie was a huge occasion for Stephenie Meyer's fans. Back in April, when the idea of The Host as a movie was discussed, fans were very enthusiastic about the idea that the book has movie potential, so the fact that Meyer has agreed to bringing the story to film has been very exciting. In 2010, progress on the film should be seen in some form or another - whether it be scripting, casting, or actual filming. The Host, which is Stephenie Meyer's first non-Twilight saga novel (and first adult science fiction/fantasy novel), is the first of a proposed three-part series, and when Stephenie Meyer appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she discussed the possibility of continuing her writing on that series. So, in addition to watching The Host come to cinematic fruition, perhaps there will be more progress on the book front with this series. All this should prove to be a very exciting piece of 2010 for Twilight fans.

the other moments and the rest of the article can be found here.

So what do you think? Do you think we're actually going to get anything this year? Next month? Spring? Summer? Fall? o_O

As with all book-movie adaptations, clearly some parts of The Host are going to be left out of the movie. Of course, it would be nice to see it all on screen, but what parts do you think they should leave out for the greater good of the main plotline?

The wolves from a sanctuary in my area were used to produce the CG Wolves in New Moon, recently they posted alot of pictures of the pack and an article on how they did it. I thought some people would find this interesting so I thought I'd share.

It's almost as if I've spent time with the wolf pack, lol.
