Ok so I'm one of those people that has refused to get into all the Twilight/New Moon hype. I have to admit, I'd never read the books or seen the movies, the whole idea of a vampire love story was just too . . . weird for me. So when I was in Utah and I saw my sister-in-law owned Twilight, I figured I might as well open my mind and give it a try, what was there to lose? I fell asleep watching it 4 different times! I did finally finish it though and here are my thoughts:Not for me. Main character girl had NO personality! Vampire dude was annoying and disgustingly pale. Vampirish blood-sucking sexual tension = CREEPY and just plain WEIRD to me. I suppose I can see how some can get really into that "I want what I can't have/living on the edge" theme but it just didn't do anything for me.
So, I guess I was right, vampire love stories are not for me. It's ok, I'm sure I'll find something else to waste my time reading or watching, no worries.

We went to see both movies and we were laughing through most of them (while the teens around us glared). They take themselves so seriously!

The movies are completely stupid unless you read the books. You really had to start there to appreciate them. I am glad you gave it a try though, but I bet you would really enjoy the books. :) Hope all is well.
Yeah, I'm sure reading the books would be different, I just didn't want to dedicate that much time to it.
I never got into the Harry Potter books either. I did see the first movie though and it was cute.
Please don't make me read the books. (Not that I don't enjoy enough silly stuff of my own.)
honestly--you gave the movie one star? seems a little high if you ask me! (not that i have even seen it...) now, if you want some good entertainment, then you should read the twilight wikipedia summary. it's well worth the 5 minutes it takes you to read it.
Oh, Sarah... you and I think alike. I do NOT think the books are any better than the movies. I read the first one and made it half-way through the second before I HAD to quit. I felt like I was reading a bad soap opera script. terribly written.. I kept saying, "These cannot be the same books that everyone loves."
Then I decided to try to watch the movie.. same situation, someone basically gave it to me and told me to watch. I think I made it through the whole thing, but I can't remember...
Girls (I mean grown women) in my area stayed up all night to watch the second movie the night it came out. I would rather have died a thousand deaths. Okay, maybe I am being a bit dramatic.
It's nice to know there are others out there who have their heads on straight.. like those who love the Bachelor.
ok brooktynn, i just read the twilight wikipedia summary and it is spot on what happens in the movie, like there is no need for anyone to watch it if you read that! i can't think of ANYTHING that happened in the film that is not in that summary! too funny.
the bachelor is awesome! the show, not jake :) it's like totally not even on the same playing field as twilight. although sometimes i do feel so embarassed for the girls on the bachelor i have to turn my head or cover my face! still, it's seriously amusing, whereas twilight is just seriously boring and badly written.
