There should be a side story.  Just for that scene.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

The Twilight movies are actually very good movies of books... in that they're almost exactly like the books, without significant plot/characters/cool scenes being cut out (looking at you, Harry Potter and LotR...). Which should tell you just how much there is of all three, especially given how each of the books is a brick to rival the latter Harry Potters.

Yet the HP movies are still so much more awesome.

Pretty much the point I was making. Even with half of the minor plot and characters lost in the movies, it's still got more of and a higher quality of both.

That would make it the most epic troll ever, even better than My Immortal if it's true that it's an epic trollfic.

I voted according to the books (not that it mattered to me very much) but I can't speak for everyone else.

Both the books and the movies were complete shit. Read my points on why... They apply to both :)

The Twilight movies were good for movies-of-books... if only they weren't based off such terrible books...

The Harry Potter movies I can generally take or leave, but the books I ADORE.♥
