Mortal Instruments

[shipperx]

Watched the tail end of Mortal Instruments on whatever cable channel it was on last night.

1) That move is sooooooooo bad.

2) My only real knowledge of Cassandra Clare (author of the series) is the memory of the plagiarism kerfuffle on Fandom_Wank. (Apparently there was a big wank in the Harry Potter fandom re her fanfic or something.) Anyway, it's very obvious that Mortal Instruments began its life as Harry Potter fanfic. Clearly, this was a Draco Malfoy/Hermione fanfic with the serial numbers filed off and which turned Hermione into Voldemort's child. (Couldn't decide whether "Simon" was supposed to be Harry or Ron, though.)

And it's all ridiculously bad, and not in the 'so bad it's good' sense. Just...really badly acted with horribly trite dialog.

Cindergirl made me watch that with her. I kind of enjoyed it for the pretty people, and the production values weren't bad. I didn't expect much and wasn't disappointed. ;-) It took me forever to recognize Aiden Turner, though! I'm not sure why he looked so different to me, but he did.

I know! He didn't look all that Mitchell-ish. He just looked... familiar.
