Yesterday, I had my nieces beg me to take them to the weekend premiere of "Twilight". These are the nieces who are often too cool to go out with me. (I guess I've been relegated to Crazy Aunt status, while my sister wins the coveted 'Cool Aunt' status ( Read more... )

this is what happens when..., fandom, twilight lol, insanity

I really liked that article, and I passed it on to my two friends who are going to see the movie with me. Thanks!

For the record, I'm not a big fan of the books either. I have to agree with the author of the VF article - it's really fare for the unjaded palette. Perhaps had I not read Dracula when I was the target age for the Smeyer series, I would be more disposed to like it more, but as it stands, it's too teeny bop for my tastes. The only reason I got through the entire series was because once I'd read the first two, I felt locked into the rest of the series.

Oh, the things I do for social interaction.

I'm starting to think I'll like the movie, if only because it'll be one of those not-meant-to-but-is-really-funny-anyways movies. Plus. Kristen Stewart!

Ditto for me; this is vampire-lite fare. And I can't abide sparkles on my vampires unless for comedic purposes. But with the movie set in the deep, gloomy wet of the NW, it's going to feel so different from the book series.

I haven't read Breaking Down yet... the reason I even started was to satisfy a friend who thought I'd love it if I read it. It's funny the things we do for friends. ;)

I'm totally going this Sunday just because Cedric Diggory dies in the last movie and comes back as a vampire! :D The irony is delicious and that pun was completely unintended. I suspect that the movies are going to be far better than the books, and I am so high-stressed right now that I need to surround myself with stupid and laugh my head off at the sillyness.

That, and I have somehow managed to develop a mild crush on Robert Patterson in all his snarkiness towards his own role. So, uh, yeah. :/

I have a minor crush on Kristen Stewart! She's so awesome; I love how she looks in the movie. I don't like Robert Pattinson much... but HEE! I totally get what you mean about the irony. I keep expecting HP references.

OMG, I'm seeing the movie tonight at the theatre where most of the fervent fans are going. My friend bought me a ticket and I'm SEEING THE MOVIE TONIGHT.

I loathe Edward above all the character. ABOVE ALL. I have such a dislike for him, I want someone to stake him before he even makes it to the fifth chapter. But he is precious, he is handsome, he is too pretty, so he won't.

... I have definitely unresolved issues with Edward, methinks.

Bella is typical Sueish female character for me, so she doesn't bother me too much. The only thing that does bother me is that she's so obviously written to allow female fans to dream through her of being with Edward and Jacob. It's like she has not other point and that kind of sucks.
