Characters: Beau Broke and Frances J. Worthington III

Beau had rambled on about the movie for what seemed like an hour. He had recapped the scenes, and even quoted the quotes.

It was just so... common. It was an amusement of the drooling, sweating, uncultured masses.

Frances was better than that.

“So, yeah… how about you? What did you think of it?”

“It was… interesting.”

Beau laughed. “You hated it, didn’t you?”

“Yes.”

“But it had pirates. Everyone loves pirates.”

Frances lifted his brows. “Well, maybe that’s the problem.”

Beau leaned back, carelessly crossing his arms. “Don’t take this the wrong way, Frances… but you’re such a snob.”

I can see that. I like some of the ideas behind pirates and ninjas, but their movies and such are usually pretty lame. Ditto with vampires. Especially Twilight. Oi.

Is Twilight one of those "buffy" type things? I never got into that and really don't know anything about it besides it has a very dedicated fan base.

CBS had a vampire show on earlier this year and it was SO bad you couldn't even watch it to make fun of it. That's bad. (surprise, surprise, it was cancelled)

I saw an episode of that CBS vampire show at the in-laws' house. It was horrible.

Twilight is a book series about vampires. Sparkly vampires. I haven't even read it all, but I read some excerpts and it was fairly painful. It was a scathing review, but I can't seem to find it. I'm sure if you're feeling masochistic you could find more on it, though. ;)

Was that Moonlight or something like that?

Yeah, I think that was it.

Man, you could smell that one coming.
