Meyer Accused of Plagiarism

Wow, I was reading an article on Publishers Weekly, which stated that Stephenie Meyer had been sued by the author of The Nocturne, Jordan Scott, for similarities between her novel and Breaking Dawn. In the end the judge ruled in favor of Meyer.

I'm sure similarities can be found in many novels. In case none of you have ever read this, but most plots have all been done. What makes them original is the twist and spin you give them. Anyone notice the Twilight Saga's similarity to Romeo and Juliet? Star crossed lovers type theme? All book and movies have similarities to one another. If you really nitpick I'm sure you can find plenty. Any one have any thoughts on the matter?

New Moon

So I saw New Moon yesterday. It was good and as many reviewers have said, lots and lots of torso :] Especially Jacob torso... Note I like the actor of Jacob, but I also think **(SPoiler-Maybe?) everyone ended up with who they should've...so I guess I'm team Jacob & Edward?** If that makes any sense.

Granted, the first movie had a wayyyyy better soundtrack, but in this movie the special effects were better I was just a bit disappointed with a certain fight scene. Oh, well. Not bad. Though the second book was my least favorite of the four. If you haven't seen it and if you are one of the reluctant few then just give it a shot. Who knows you may like it and if not-aren't hot torsos enough? ;]
