Bonnie Wright on Twilight
Cinemania: How do you compare Harry Potter with Twilight?
Bonnie: They’re completely different. The way J.K. Rowling writes is way more superior to that of the author of Twilight, besides the story has more different layers and subplots that address different topics. Harry Potter is also more universal and it reaches people of a wider range of age, which starts from little children. Twilight is more for American teens, especially girls. They’re two different stories, really, but I think that the best thing of both sagas is that they have motivated kids and young people to read. They have opened a whole new universe. I remember before kids didn’t even read a book of more than 10 pages and look at them now.
Cinemania: Which other books do you like?
Bonnie: Well, not the Twilight ones.

and just because I really love...

Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.
– Albert Einstein (via breathingbooks)
Clownfish are transsexuals. Clownfish live in a hierarchical society led by a dominant female. If this female were to die, she would be replaced by her mate. The male changes his sex and every other fish follows suit, moving up a rung on the social ladder. Clownfish also maintain a body mass 20% smaller than the fish that outranks it.
To summarize – in Finding Nemo, Nemo’s dad...

Day 17- Book turned movie and completely desecrated
hmmm … let’s see
-Twilight: The whole “saga”, not that they were of the finest literature to begin with, but they’re not so bad in comparison with their movies, I mean, they are boring, have the worst cast ever, just rubbish!
-Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: well, actually not all of it, it was just a...
