soooo...

why is this "Twilight" movie such a big deal?
woohoo, it's a movie about a vampire and girl falling in love.
seen it, hated it.
cliche just isnt interesting at all to me. it's more like....boring. a good friend of mine has actually been counting down the days until the movie premiere because she loved the novel, on which the movie is based on, that much.
i suppose i could see the intrigue in finding out how Hollywood twists the plot or dialogue or something to make it more suspenseful or mysterious or something, but i mean come on, a vampire? i almost think i'd rather watch the cheesy parody, "Shawn of The Dead" on Comedy Central before i watched Twilight.
but speaking of movies, this kind of reminds me of the movie coming out in December with Jim Carey titled "Yes Man". the idea is that the character goes through his whole life saying "no" to everything and loses out on a lot of opportunities, so one day he decides to change and start saying "yes" to everything. a comedy with jim carey is likely to be as funny, if not more, than expected. BUT, i think the real laughs will come from "Zack and Miri Make a Porno". it looks like pure comedy. although....i think "Sex Drive" would also be funny mostly for the fact that its story line is a young kid meets a girl on the internet and suddenly throws everything to the side in order to travel cross-country to meet her.

stop criticizing "Twilight"! dude wtf. Vampires are hecka awesome, and it's intereting when they make it into a romance instead of a horror movie.

Some people just grab hold and stay hooked. Can't say I understand either. And there's something odd about an LDS writer focusing on vampire love.

Kayla, I have a problem when the majority of young girls (and an unnerving number of adults) become "hooked" on a series of books that has even less literary talent than the harry potter books, make the hero of the story a weak and helpless woman, and focuses on an obviously dysfunctional and unhealthy relationship. THAT is why I criticize twilight.

Harry Potter sucks.

Alright, now that I have more time, I can finally flesh out what I was going to say. I hate how so many people just flock to some random crappy book series that sucks. There are tons of friggin' awesome books out there, like the Deptford Trilogy, Fire Bringer, Redwall, and Dragon Rider. Why are you all stuck on one craptastic book?

OK people. I am a girl who is totaly guilty of being a hardcore insanely obsessive "twilighter." I can understand you point of view, and it is just another fiction book. But there is something about this book that obviously intrigues people. I jsut have to say, dont nock it till you try it.
