I read the Twilight books and really enjoyed them. However, I don't really think the actor playing the lead male role looks like what I imagined and I definitely don't think he's that attractive. lol. You're right, his hair looks pretty horrible.

It is just not healthy to get that worked up over a movie.

What is it about vampire fiction that makes people go all screwy in the head anyway?

Did you know that it's the same guy that played Cedric Diggory? I'm not getting the "overwhelmingly handsome" thing from him. The casting for the movie is terrible. Much like the writing.

Actually, I think the choice of him as Edward is perfect- knowing how bad the books sucked, he still managed to act in it. (Not that I've read the books (bar about half the first) or seen the movie- just that anyone who can still do something they're aware is sucky has got balls.)

How do you know he's aware that it's sucky? No matter how bad the movie is, it'll still be huge because of the Twilight mega-fanbase. It doesn't have to do with having balls, but it was a smart decision on his part because the movie will make buckets of money.

He was interviewed and made a statement to that effect. I guess you're right about the cash bit, though.

I like the books. I really did - they were awesome time killers, in the same way that the DaVinci Code was an awesome time killer. But those fans are INSANE! I don't get WHY they are so insane, I really really don't. They scare me. Anyone who gets that rabid over a BOOK SERIES seriously needs to have a reality check.

Am I the only one who watches the trailers and thinks that the movie is going to be REALLY cheesy and bad? The vampires just look like actors with lots of makeup on, and it just jars me. Not sure I'll be able to suspend disbelief if I watch it if I'm not impressed by the makeup and special effects in the trailer. And yes, Edward's hair is pretty bad too.

I am going into the movie theatre expecting those movies to be cheesy and bad. There's no other way to view them.
