Twilight

Okay I don't think I've read a book that has been made in to a movie. That's a good thing right? I always hear "oh the book was better" but never really was able to experience that. In any case, I saw the trailer for Twilight awhile ago and it gave me chills, a human and a vampire (a beautiful vampire at that) and he has to protect her from another clan! I'm there! Then I found out it was a based on a book, not just a book but a series of books. Okay, I had seen Eragon and later found out that was based on a book and balked at the thought of reading the book because I had already seen the movie. So this time around I had a chance to read the book before I saw the movie, so I went and bought Twilight. Um, the first 380 pages were mostly romantic drivel and I didn't know that was the point! Plus when I was looking for the book I couldn't find it and had to ask where it was, I was taken to the Teen section. This was so Harry Potter all over again, I never read one of those books because they were "children's" books and I couldn't get in to them. So now the Twilight series were a "teen" series of books. I think it's the whole stigma attached to teen books and children books but my friends had read them so I guess I could try. *sigh* It was difficult, Bella WORKS MY NERVES!! Seriously, Edward this and Edward that and it was just so pathetic how goo goo ga ga she was over Edward and his beauty (and what kind of message is that sending young girls, if the boy is cute do what he wants when he wants) it was just sad. Come on gay men, you know our bitches need a pair (Madonna, Rosie, Hillary, Lauren...etc) so to read about how Bella freaked out every time Edward was more than 20 feet from her was disgusting. I did endure however and I did finish the book and the last hundred pages or so were really good and had me in to the whole scenario with James hunting Bella (why oh why didn't he kill her when he had the chance?!)anyways I finished the book and then took off for the cinema. As I'm driving I'm thinking please don't let Bella in the movie be this wimpy pathetic "oh Edward don't leave me" person. The book was just okay for me, ever ate crow? The movie blew and I blame myself because I read the book first! No wonder people always say the book was better, well duh! Edward was more furious in the book and (hate to say it) Bella was more witty (but less pathetic in the move thank goodness). So in any case, if I had walked in to the movie without reading the book, I would have gave it a C because (like the book) the good part came at the end and even that wasn't that great. I though the script was poor and the acting dry and without feeling but now let's get to the real reason I went and saw that movie. MEN!

Edward is hella fine and he is played by Rob Pattinson, James is played by Cam Gigandet remember him from Never Back Down, can we say abs? Oh and not to mention Emmett Cullen who was played by Kellan Lutz...small part but you definitely take notice!

Let's start with hot!





Edward...google for his Twilight pics




Finally, the hunk Kellan

  1. the same happens to me.
    I watched the Da Vinci Code, and ended up never reading the book.
    But on the other way round, I've read the Angels and Demons and the movie will be released soon.
