That worked out pretty well.Actually, just to clarify, my girlfriend and all her friends are also into the Twilight series. She owns all four and always tries to make everyone read 'em. That's perfectly fine and I've come to terms with that because these books are marketed to people like her, in her age group, with her style, etc...She knows I don't like anything about them, but I'll sit around and discuss them with her and usually our conversations consist of things SHE personally thinks are awful. Like, she'll sit around and steam about crappy writing, contradictions in the storyline, sub-par characters and an obvious lack of inspiration that is way too apparent sometimes. That's to say nothing of the film - she absolutely hated it because it wasn't anything like the books. All that said, she STILL can't stop reading them. haha! She also got angry at the constant mention of "Thanks" to the band Muse that is seriously at the end of EVERY SINGLE BOOK...She said it's almost like the writer was sucking up to the band so she could get to meet them someday. Also, apparently the writer is just some random chick who is currently being sued by her college roommate for "stealing her ideas" in regards to the Twilight books...I'll have to look into that later on.In regards to other horror characters who don't deserve immortalization, who did you have in mind? <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

The alleged story says the roommate and she had a class together at BYU with a certain professor. The professor's name has never taught at BYU and is identical to a character on the TV Show E.R. Stephanie has also never had a roommate named Heather.As for characters that I think did poor acting that have busts, I probably shouldn't really limit my list to horror characters since so many horror villians didn't speak much. I've seen busts for poorly acted Catwomen, Luke Skywalker busts (sorry... I don't like Luke's acting), Pamela Voorhees (sorry... the original F13 had horrible acting by nearly everyone), Frankenstein, Wolfman, etc. Remember... even though these are classic characters, I was making a point about your claim that people don't deserve busts because of bad acting. Why have any busts of Jason? I thought the acting of Jason in Freddy VS Jason was bad compared to other Jason flicks. But people still make busts of him. It's the character that's being immortalized... not the person. Given the popularity of Edward and Co. these days, it might be a decent item to market to that crowd. Probably not much here, but trust me... there are many huge fans on the Twlight boards that are shelling out for collectibles. Especially hard to find ones.
