It's a "soundtrack" to the book, or it would be if there was such a thing. _________________ "I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodsman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world." |

The legend of Tristan and Isolde goes back to the middle ages so really even Shakespeare was using an old gimmick. I always thought that R&J was more of a knock off of Pyramus and Thisbe. It is. At least that's what I always heard. |

At least that's what I always heard. Truth, but I believe that's part of the reason that is the play within a play in A Midsummers Night Dream. But that could just be me. Shakespeare used references just as he is used as one. If you enjoy Pyramus and Thisbe you should check out the musical The Fantasticks. Oh and i just found The Beatles doing the skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psATF1mUpUU sorry up late at night and bored, and i former "theater" person so that's what you get. _________________ golly andrew wrote: Golly Sandra wrote: Come Clean Hilary Duff cover!! yessss...

I didn't mean to suggest that R&J was based on Tristan and Isolde, I only meant the romantic formula in it was already cliche. _________________ Kulvir. |

Same here--my mom actually paid me to read it, she thought I'd like it, and I couldn't get past page 18. It was awful. Then she and my grandma got it on book on CD for the car ride to Illinois. Everytime I had to change what I was listening to on my ipod I could hear what was going on and it was just plain bad. Then to make it worse my grandma was listening to it while I was driving, and so I HAD to listen. It was not fun. |

I believe that the only reason it is so popular, is because she just writes what teenagers are wanting to read about. Vampires not actually eating you, but changing their whole personality to fall in love with a human blah blah blah, things that will never happen, and I full despise her books. I liked Twilight the first time I read it, but when I started to read back through I saw how horrible the writing was, how pathetic the characters are, and how it seems to aspire to be something that it is not, and that makes me put down a book faster than lighting. All of the books are rotten! It's obvious how there is no passion behind any of her words, they just seem to be slammed down, and teenagers and mothers alike are gobbling them up because it's a dreamy thing. Unfortunately, they cannot see beyond that. On top of it all, the movie does not look to be a good thing either. I do hope I have not offended anyone by my opinions, I just feel very strongly against these books. |

here are the twilight books in ebook format, if anyone so wishes to read them: TWILIGHT - http://www.sendspace.com/file/vh85xd NEW MOON- http://www.sendspace.com/file/227dil ECLIPSE- http://www.sendspace.com/file/8d7qdq honestly? if they ever come out with a contemporary soundtrack for the films, i think songs like "combinations" or "if you're wondering" would fit in very nicely with the theme of the books/movies.... _________________ goes down easy |

That's a thought! Eisley on a movie soundtrack! I've always wondered if the music they used, in films, is a sort of product placement arrangement, with agents trying to get their artist on a soundtrack, or the producers/directors pick stuff they think makes the most sense? _________________ Mike=] |

I liked the books a lot a few years ago. I'll still read them, but I don't really feel the same way about them as I used to. Hearing all the bad things about them kind of made me notice them a lot more. Aw man, maybe I'm just easily influenced. |
