Thank you, Forever Young Adult. An Anne of Green Gables movie drinking game is exactly what this world needs.
Well, *I* would watch it.
This reminds me of all those [classic novel] v. the monster books, only way more fun. Because unlike Jane Austen Beats Down the Werewolves (or whatever they're publishing next), Twilight would ac...
Well, if people went to see a love story set on the Titanic, why not?
