186: Breaking Dawn Part 1

So the author continues to be Stephanie Meyer.

At this point, she's co-founded her production company, Picklefish Films, and they produce both parts of Breaking Dawn and two other novel adaptations that she had.

I saw a quote somewhere.

I no longer remember where it's from, but it says the world's most popular vampire novelist since Anne Rice.

And, wow, that makes me want to weep.

Let's see.

And some reviews said, in the absence of a new cursed wizard series adventure, teens, fantasy enthusiasts, and women...

Sales are mostly to women who swoon at the idea of a virginal James Dean-ish vampire made Meyer the go-to gal for chaste love.

And, um, wow.

What a, I don't even know what an accolade.

So of course this is based on the book of the same name published August 2nd, 2008.

This one is 756 pages.

Why? Who knows? The title Breaking Dawn is a reference to the beginning of Bella's new vampire life, okay? The cover with the chest is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga, okay? She started out as the weakest player on the board and ends as the strongest, the queen, okay? That's what they said.

Stephanie Meyer said, I didn't like this cover, but I went with it.

It's fine.

Now, there were some plagiarism accusations.

And why would you even want to put your name out there? OK, because if I thought that she plagiarized, I would be embarrassed, you know.

But they decided that they were false.

She said, girl, I didn't hear about you.

I didn't hear about the novel, which is called The Nocturne.

And she couldn't produce any evidence, so it's fine.

Let's see.

This book was inspired by yet another, or actually two different literary classics.

Can anyone guess what those are this week? All right.

The Merchant of Venice and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
