  1. I agree - this is a key point in the plot which shouldn't have been missed. This also explains why Harry's patronus is a stag which is very important in my opinion.
  2. ahhhh - I am going to have that in my head all day now!! I loooooove Singing in the Rain. I like the dance routine to "good Mornin" where they step over the sofa - classic. Haven't seen Hairspray with Michael Ball. I did see them perform the finale number on the tv the other day and it looked amazing. The girl from Emerdale is playing Penny now I think. Rocky Horror is great. I really love the soundtrack.
  3. I have seen the Mars Volta - they are very very good live. I like most music, but my fav genre is probably indie or rock
  4. My fav of all time is Blood Brothers - I see it at least once a year and never get bored of it! I also like: Rocky Horror Chicago (film, not stage version as I didn't enjoy it when I saw it last yr!) Hairspray Singing in the Rain Bugsy Malone I love them all!
  5. Didn't know that they have been axed!! you have made my day
  6. I am at work and almost gagged on my apple looking at the open shirt pic - hubba hubba!! Not going to be able to concentrate this afternoon now
  7. Yeah, its weird how the same person can be gorgeous in 2 totally different ways -mmmmmm!!
  8. I really didn't like the Golden Compass film - I was really looking forward to watching it and felt really let down. Although, I did like Nicole Kidman in it. Not too bothered if I see the next film!
  9. I thought he was good as Cedric although he doesn't have the same attraction as when he is playing Edward!

  11. Any of the Cullen men would suit me just fine!!! mmmmmm I agree about RP - never liked him before, but the film totally changed my mind!!
  12. I like reading YA books sometimes - nice light reading after a hard day at work!! I'm 26.
  13. I wouldn't have described RP as hot - until I watched the film and now I totally fancy him!!! I like his portrayal of Edward although they are some cringeworthy moments ie the biology scheme and the "you're like my own personal brand of heroin" bit *shudder* Jasper is kinda cute although he does look constipated. He must have taken a lot of pro-plus to make his eyes look that wide. When I was watching the film, I just wanted to give him a hug as he looked petrified. I like the look of Alice in the film, although we do not really see a lot of her acting skills. Alice is one of my fav characters, so I hope that she is played well in the future films. I agree with the comments that she did seem a bit false when she spoke to Emma. I think that this may have been because her charater wasn't explored in the film. Not keen on Kristen as Bella. She looks the part, but her voice grated a little. Plus, she looked (for most of the film), that she wasn't really bothered by Edward. I like Rosalie, Emmett, Esme and Carlise, but we didn't see much of them in the film. I am looking forward to seeing how they are played in the future as we see a lot more from these characters. I especially like Rosalie and Emmett in Breaking Dawn.
  14. Life of Pi - althought most people who read it thought it was brilliant. Atonement was a little slow to start off with and I had to make myself finish it and I didn't think that Catcher in the Rye was brilliant. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it when it was written?!
  15. I liked the fact that However, I just think that Bella and Edward although this was really the main storyline in the book. I found that the odd bits of dialogue that Nessie had were a bit weird I am going to read the books again in and maybe I will enjoy Breaking Dawn more the second time.
  16. I read this book for my Eng Lit A level and did an essay comparing this with 1984. I really loved the book and often re-read it. I still find it a real page turner even though I have read it loads of times.
  17. I really didn't like that character. So much so that I didn't care what happened to her!
  18. Twilight and Eclipse were my favourites. Don't get me wrong, I liked all 4 books, but I only loved 3 of the books.....
