They gave it a B+ overall!!!

At this point, even the most entrenched haters of Twilight's vampire-sparkle voodoo concede the soundtracks' indie-rock bona fides — though they might wish the music came shrouded in a plain brown wrapper.

Like last October's New Moon collection,Eclipse operates as a sort of alt-party primer: original songs from the genre's current varsity squad, with a smattering of JV newbies. Pomp-rockers Muse, practically the movies' musical mascots by now, provide the requisite dose of Queen-meets-Rush grandiosity on ''Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever),'' while Jack White side project the Dead Weather revel in swampy blooze-ooze on ''Rolling in on a Burning Tire.'' Vampire Weekend, stripped of their habitual Afro-pop swaddling, work the harpsichord-tinged twee of ''Jonathan Low'' into a pleasingly woolly tangle, though Australian chanteuse Sia's ''My Love'' does more with much less — her fragile ballad is so ethereal and otherworldly, it should be sung in Elvish. U.K. indie-pop outfit Fanfarlo's rickety ''Atlas'' sounds like Talking Heads on a dirt-road detour; Beck and British songstress Bat for Lashes trade haunting echo-chamber ?vocals on the percussion-heavy duet ''Let's Get Lost''; and on the heady ''Heavy in Your Arms,'' Florence + the Machine make like Siouxsie Sioux leading a tribal marching band into battle. L.A. unknowns Eastern Conference Champions co-opt Radiohead's dense existential dread, Band of Horses conjure up another beardy folk ramble, and this summer's palest citizens get a pretty solid ready-made mixtape. B+

I am staring at the above gif and drinking scotch. I am so tired but feeling energized tonight.

Have you ever read or seen something that was like a train wreck... horrifying but you couldn't look away. Let's discuss the more disgusting, weird and downright disturbing aspects of the fandom.

:)

UPDATED!

I'm doing the happy Wonkey-dance.

Gangstah Kat is also happy

This week we saw the end of

my very favorite television show of ALL TIME - LOST.

(Seriously, if you want to talk about it, come to my cabin. I cried eight times in those two and a half hours. I couldn't even sleep sunday night. I was a wreck. A blubbering, sniffly, happy and sad mess of a girl)

....but I digress. It was also the season finale for some show called "Bones" and tonight is the "American Idol" finale that my kid is making me watch so FINALE is on my brain.

In the Fanfiction world, the "Finale" would be the last chapter of a completed fic. So this weeks challenge? 

REC a story that has an AMAZING last chapter. Some completed fic that really had a wonderful ending, a great payoff to a great story. I want those incredible COMPLETED fics.

AS ALWAYS, PIMP WHAT YOU WRITE or ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER

but also, take on the challenge. Tell me which completed fic blew you away in the end. Which had an amazing finale.

In the past, there have been campfires about who you would rather see in the movie Twilight playing Edward, Rose etc. Well I am twisting those campfires a bit and now ..

I want to know if you could recast your favorite movie or TV show with the Twilight cast...who would you cast in what??

Would Rob be an agent on CSI or NCIS? Ashely a gossip girl? Peter feelin the need for speed?? Stop on by, cop-a-squat, will be making smores later..or cookies..I have the fixins for both. :)

"Let me reassure those of you who still doubt the romance of the film that it is there.  It is so totally there!  Every kiss you expect to see is there.  Every moment of longing and confusion is there.  From marriage proposals to leg hitches, it’s all there… and then some.  The chemistry is hotter than ever.  No need to worry about this side of the film."

She also mentions that they are digitally fixing the problems with Bella's wig.

This is all I needed to hear.

Hi everyone!

One of the things that attracted me to the Twilight story is the idea of "family" that the Cullens represent and try to live out. I find their loyalty and devotion to one another fascinating. And I think it's interesting that one of the reasons Bella is so destroyed when Edward leaves is because he took away his family from her and her hopes of joining that family.

Does anyone have any fan fic recommendations that explore this Cullen concept of family? I think Ithaca is Gorges does this, but are there any others?

Also, I guess this makes me a nerd, but I'm only interested in stories that are canon. I'm okay with AU, though.  Being obsessed with canon is another campfire in iteself. :)

AND THE OTHER THING IS  WHAT THE HELL ARE WE ENGLISH TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR 'READ-A-LONGS' ?

I MEAN I ASK YOU WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!

Look! it's a coupon thing. If you're in the Yoo Ess Aay and you want to buy People magazine with either Taylor or Robert on the cover (no love for Kristen? WTF!) then you can clicky click & you'll be whisked away to a coupon page that you can print.

BUT THEN YOU MUST RETURN TO THE FOREST-- mostly to help me with my EPIC DAY OF PROCRASTINATION.

I've srsly got nothing done today. No writing, no reading (I haven't even read the Breaking News update, and I live for that story). I've done nothing but obsessively tend to fires all day, which is self-serving and not technically procrastination, but STILL.

AND WTF is up with People not giving Kristen any face time? I guess they're all about pandering to their demographic and putting beefcake all over the cover. Harumph. We at the Forest would NEVER stoop so low as to post gratuitous male flesh just to pander to our predominately female audience.

Doesn't it piss everyone off that Alice can predict the weather when her pre-cognition she admits is based on people making decisions?! And I'm going and basing this from canaon people, SM's own work.  Please give me your opinions.

I want to make an official-unofficial announcement.

K-Stew is gonna be my future Wifey.

Though she doesn't know it yet.

I found these Pics and decided to put a ring on it. Even if she is with Rob, he can join us. I can get into the Polygamy thing. I call weekends, Wednesdays and every other Friday. I'm thinking a fall wedding? Yes?

You all are invited to the wedding. ;-D

As an engagement present I want you all to spam me with your fav K-stew Gifs, pics, interviews,videos...Watever.

I haven't decided if she'll take my last name. Probably not as she's a trademark and I'm just an indecisive student. She's got more going for her.

 What are you doing this fine evening oh Forest Critters?

 Are you joining moi on the TWITTAH for one of the BEST READALONGS YET!

When the Volturi see that he's blown his cover, the Cullens are gonna be in deep shit.

Hey guys, I'm new here and just wondering how everything works.

If someone could just show me the ropes that would be great.

MAD LOVE, my new fellow campers!

P.S grammar nazis, i hope i did you happy :)

I really have no words to describe how flippin' awful they have made my Harry Potter BB's look for this trainwreck that will be the Epilogue for "Deathly Hallows, Part Two."

First shot of the 37 year old Ron Weasley...

I think we should discuss this.  Many of us are also lovers of all things Potter.  I have been a HP fan for 10 years.  What the hell are they doing with these movies?  

I can see making them look older but they all look like hobos.  Seriously, my brother is 37 and he doesn't look this bad.  Hell, none of my friends that are in their late 30's look this bad.  They look youthful!  These kids are dressed up to look like they are in the late 50's.  WTF MAN!

Makeup in movie productions has come a long way now...but this is taking it back to some crap out of the 1980's. 

Sorry, rant for the day.  Lettuce discuss.

A new movie still?

And the People Mag Spread  ( justjared.buzznet.com/2010/05/26/robert-pattinson-people-twilight-special/ )

Robert Pattinson is one of the cover stars for People’s upcoming Twilight special issue, on stands now.

Stick with it... for Rob's speech from the Water for Elephants Set.  At 2:00   He's utterly delish.

Is anyone here reading Devil's Pitchfork by 1Blue25?

This is my all time favorite story right now and I want to talk about how much I love it.

So is anyone reading it? Did you read the latest chapter?(it updated today!) What did you think?

Here's a link for the story for those that want to read it:

Devil's Pitchfork » reviews

This story is different, the plotline is original, the characters are interesting,and it grabs your attention from the first chapter.

Go read it now you won't regret it!
