  2. "Eclipse" is a rather apt title considering that anyone involved with the film will have their careers eclipsed by the general badness that comes from Stephenie Meyer. Yes, I do believe in Karma and the Universe is a cruel place, but sometimes people deserve what they get. LOL! I can't wait to see how the actors will ever live down the fact that they helped to bring about the decline of the entire vampire genre. Fuck 'em all!
