Twilight


When I first heard about these so called vampire books I was super opposed to reading them.  I don't really like anything that is not real... so fantasy books or movies of any kind are just not my thing.  For example I refuse to watch "Lord of the Rings," couldn't read Harry Potter and didn't like the movie, and have always been strongly against TV shows like Buffy.  But after hearing girl after girl rave about these vampire books I decided to give them a shot.  And I will admit I loved them.  No, I don't think that they are well written but there is something about the story that caught my attention and I was fully engrossed in the lives of Edward and Bella.  So when the movie was first announced I was very excited about it.  So opening night I joined the rest of the female mormon population and headed out for 2 hours of twilight.  I can't say that the movie was a disappointment because I really didn't expect much from it.  The movie wasn't very well done and there were many times that I found myself laughing at the awkwardness of it... but all in all I enjoyed myself.

I think you and I think very alike when it comes to sci-fi books, tv shows, and movies. I never saw "Lord of the Rings," or read the "Harry Potter" Books. Just doesn't do it for me. But I did enjoy the Twilight series and although I didn't like the movie either, I had a FANTASTIC time with you and the crew that night!

I thought the same thing. And the movie was a disappointment but i hope the next one is better. I absolutely loved the books!

Can't believe that you are wearing a Jacob shirt. I am so an edward lover. I loved the books, not so much the movie. I had to try really hard to not laugh in the theater. How that heck are you? Happy Holidays.

You caved! I love it. But I hated the movie, even w/ the little expectations I had.
