Let the mockery begin, but first,

in My Child is Adorbs News, Emma is shocked to discover that the words to "Don't Fear the Reaper" are not, in fact, "Don't feel the rainbow."

Now the mockery may commence. I took Ems to see The Mortal Instruments yesterday and totally dug it. I thought it was thoroughly entertaining (and so did she!). Excellent use of CGI; none of the demons or monsters looked fake to me, and some of the CGI work was really beautifully done (as in the fire demons). I also appreciated that the demons and etc. were creepy and disturbing (way more than I had been anticipating actually), without resorting to cheap gore.

( SPOILERS )

Overall, I really enjoyed the movie, I'm enjoying the book, and looking forward to seeing what happens in the series. Don't spoil me past City of Bones, please!

Say what you want about Cassie Claire (and I know there's tons to say), her problem has never been that she can't write an engaging story.
