It's spoken by Jack Nicholson, it's about a trial and the military and it's something about truth. Seems to me there’s a line in another film that answers the thumbs down.

How, tell me how you manage it, Adi? That's what I want to do--plus throw in a bit of New Mexico. Much as I love Port Angeles, and there are some species of palm trees will grow here, so far as I can make out, Canary Island Palms will not, but they will grow at least as far north as Eureka. Stephanie Meyer, as our local Pt. Angeles newspaper "scooped" the rest of world's press 2 years after the fact, has apparently bought a pricey property some 2 hrs. east of Forks, but she knows nothing about the West End (as it is called locally). I can tell a rather amusing story about an English Buddhist priest from Seattle who took his English parents to Forks to look for the rain forest and could not find it, but that's a whole n'other story. But not altogether that different from all the other photographer and other similar types who wander up from south west desert and other points east to report back to the world on Olympic Peninsula only to prove they have not the least understanding of this place. It's not that only Twilight sucks, it's that the rest of the world comes and thinks it's seen the heart of a creepy green darkness and has no understanding whatsoever of here because they don't understand whatever darkness exists where they are there, wherever they are. Or even if they do understand the red rocks of the desert s.w., that understanding can't be imposed on this environment here. Do you understand what I say? Probably not, but this comment space is too small. I do know your space, family associated w/Manchester (Pt. Arena), entire west coast from pre-Gold Rush to present, from the Battle of Chino in 1847/1848 to the battle of everyday survival from Grand Coulee Dam, Shoshone, ID, Promontory Pt., Utah, Spokane, Seattle, Mountain Home, White Salmon, Portland, Eugene, Junction City, SF Bay Area (from at least 1906, indeed from digging up the gold inflected earth at Sutter's Mill in 1847), and watching the entire west coast of the USA drive itself into extinction like a bunch of mythical lemmings as I try to run from having to watch the train wreck of a fatal beauty -- San Francisco -- destroy herself. Where does one go after one has had the best? And then a tiny place like Forks gets sucked in? The "funny" thing about Forks is that it is, demographically speaking, the only "normal" place around here, a wonderful, beautiful normal demographic curve of population. The "sick" place is Sequim, where the largest single demographic group is single women over the age of 80 years old. Now that would be a true tale of vampyrism, would it not?

Rowling wrote a great series and Stephanie Meyer just seems to be a novelty that I'm sure will run out soon. Lets cross our fingers that this generation comes to it's senses. I completely agree, J.K.

Stephanie Meyer seems to be such a hack writer. I try to explain this to my daughters, but they won't listen. They swoon over anything to do with Twilight. I'm hoping they grow out of it and read some REAL books. Bronte, anyone? I prefer Harry Potter to Twilight. Stephanie Meyer seems to be such a hack writer.
