But it is. First of all, people seem to be buying into the books rather questionable definition of love, and as I said, stealing thunder. There are only so many movies that can be produced, and so few stories that can be hyped by media, and there are more deserving ones than Twilight.
The love story does start as an obsessive love, which is a pretty weak attempt at saying true love, but again it is just a story and it does build up into something a little deeper, but then again I'm not arguing about it's definition on love, as each to their own.
As for the more deserving, I can't really state a comment as life goes on and films get made and don't get made, that's life. You can choose to watch or not to watch. Hating on a film because it got chosen to be developed over something you would prefer is pointless. Life is too short to be worried about things like these.
As for the Discworld, the books are great and a hollywood film would probably be hated for the choice of actors anyway and how they do it, so no-one can win.
