Wow. Lionsgate bought Summit and is planning to extend the Twilight movies beyond the books. I doubt they’ll get RPattz and KStew back, though.

By far the most fun movie I’ve seen this summer is Sharktopus. Granted, I really haven’t seen many movies this summer. I’ve mostly just been hanging out with friends, going out to lunch, and fighting with this young-adult paranormal romance I’ve been writing since January (the book is winning the fight, by the way). As [...]

Until last night I didn’t know anything about Justin Bieber except for his haircut. (Pro tip: Having a mop-top hairdo and starting your band name with a bee-sound will equal fan mania such as the world has never seen.) I always get a sense of people rolling their eyes about the Biebs, I guess because [...]
Val Kilmer: Straight to DVD?

This article from Salon made me remember how much I used to love Val Kilmer. The story is not indepth at all, but the comments are worth a read. If you’ve never seen The Doors, you should definitely see it for his performance as Jim Morrison (he does his own singing, too). He was also [...]

So my beloved Blockbuster suddenly closed down this week. I’m so bummed. I love going to the video (yes, video) store. I guess my days of spontaneously renting what I want when I want it are over. I signed up for Netflix and I’m really sad. Also, one block over from Blockbuster, Mother Nature’s Natural [...]

I really like Kevin Smith. I like his attitude, I like his sense of humor, I like his rants. I sort of named Dating Amy, the blog that launched my career as an author, after one of his films (even though my name is Amy). I love his films. He had me with Clerks, of [...]

So my friends constantly appear dismayed, not to mention disbelieving, that I am the last person in the free world who still goes to Blockbuster. I go for the entertainment and not all of it is on the shelves. As you know I’m doing this mini bucket list of things to accomplish before Mad Men [...]

I was feeling discouraged about writing today, so I randomly wished that director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, the upcoming Red State) would give me a locker-room style pep talk about my writing. Damned if he didn’t do it. And then, because it’s Kevin Smith:
Self-Published Troll Book to be Adapted by ‘District 9′ Scribe

Huge Hollywood news out of the getting-hard-to-ignore self-publishing realm. So when she couldn’t get a traditional book deal, Amanda Hocking wrote and self-published the Trylle trilogy. It’s a cute, fast-paced paranormal romance about trolls and a seemingly regular teenaged girl who gets called back to become queen of their kingdom. Minnesota twenty-something author Hocking is [...]
