Cassandra Clare and the Panned Picture
When we last left out heroine she was leafing some thorny mahogany pickle to her partner-in-crime to go to her big movie premiere.

Well the first of the Mortal Instrument movies is out, ladies and gents!

While not doing terribly bad (Sony had nothing to lose apparently), it didn't exactly shine either taking in only $9 million through the weekend and $14 million at the moment.

So Cassie Claire, er, Clare, has had to do a wee bit of backpedaling.
Covered here but the important tweets are at the bottom.

You see, she didn't really have any control over the film and so if it bombs, it's the movie producer's fault. Nope, zero input on the whole dealio.

Will there be a sequel, given the budget versus the income? Will it matter? Who knows. Expect to see the Mortal Instruments t-shirts next month at your local Hot Topic and see Cassie Clare in her next adventure, Dancing With Wool!

(It could be wood again. Or Woof? Woozie? Dancing With Who?)

Yeah, the "it's only fanfic/plagiarism!" attitude was a dealbreaker for me too. That and how she flipflopped on how bad/good/decent TMI is. It makes me wonder if Lindsay's only read CoB, from the sound of how she spoke of it.

Also the comment about how "CC is mean and needs to die". Something tells me that she either doesn't know the full story or doesn't care, and I'm inclined to believe the latter. Psh, plagiarism and online bulling are SO no biggies!

Then again, I'm not sure what I was expecting. Lindsay's pretty much turned her NChick routine into a soap box, and while I know it's her show and she can do whatever the hell she wants, I don't find it entertaining, certainly not in instances like this where she makes such unusual statements concerning most of our problems with CC.
