REVIEW: Broken Beds! Bloody Placenta! Breaking Dawn — Part 1 Goes to Crazytown — Almost

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part I is such a departure from the previous three Twilight pictures that you could almost consider it a rogue offshoot. Director Bill Condon steers the franchise away from visions of wan, suffering teens and fake-fur werewolf tussles and brings it closer to — if not necessarily close to — something resembling human adult sexual obsession and its attendant responsibilities and anxieties. It’s like Jules and Jim for the Tiger Beat set.

TCA: ABC Prez is Most Passionate About the New Bachelor Season

Today’s ABC’ s day at the Television Critics Association panels in Pasadena, and aside from semi-grim news for Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters , there’s not much to report — wait, except for president Paul Lee’s abject adoration of The Bachelor : “This particular season is going to be delicious and funny and fascinating and sexy in all the right ways. I would personally hold up The Bachelor — and I take none of the credit for this; this precedes me — of how you can take a really good idea and own it. And by the way? It still fits into the deeply romantic brand that is ABC. And still is a deeply relevant show. That yearning to find love is still there.” Hmm. “Passionate” is one way to describe Jake Pavelka , I guess.
