NO, Philippines! You cannot have nice, shiny (sparklepeen) things!
Merry Christmas, everyone! Here, have some Twilight wank with your eggnog.

ABS-CBN, the biggest T.V station in the little island nation of the Philippines, has announced that they've landed the rights to create a Twilight television adaptation and lion_lamb members are NOT pleased! At all. And neither are the readers of Perez Hilton's blog.

Choice bits:
The outrage over this news is rooted in racism.

The outrage stems over the fact that even we, said people of mentioned third world country, don't appreciate the lack of originality of this bullshit, and think we're better than this.

Let the third world have their fun. They don't have enough of it as it is.

If it was a Japanese drama, I would be totally okay with it, because Japanese dramas rarely f*ck up an original story.

I was thinking that, since melodrama and young love are pretty universal themes in entertainment, it would actually be cool to see different culture's adaptations of the story and how they're different. Filipino TV Twilight, Bollywood Twilight, Shoujo Manga Twilight, et cetera.

Bad low-budget Canadian movie! They'd swear a lot, get naked totally gratuitously, everyone would speak in witty quips and one-liners, there'd be lots of road trips to showcase the Canadian countryside, and everything would be shot in overly lengthy long-shots. Oh, and the same five actors would play all the roles.

Are Callum Keith Rennie, Sarah Polley and Molly Parker busy?

And don't forget vampire hockey.

I'd watch it! And don't forget the rock music references and squicky black-comedy violence if Bruce MacDonald is directing it.

Would we want to taint Bruce MacDonald with the Twilight stain, though? D:
