The Twilight Bandwagon

oh i get your point. It's happened a lot of times. You know, the motion picture being a BLAH version of the book. Reading is good, but darling....my eyes are sore from all the college books I had to read. But yeah, when I finally get my free time, which seems hard to get these days, I might as well bash a book right infront of my face. By the way, is your bandwagon filled up? reserve a seat for me. In case, you know, I change my mind. :)

The director got fired...script writer not so sure...they had to take a 600 page book and turn it into a 1 hour and 30 minute movie, not so easy to do.

so she really was fired?! The stories I read in the internet didn't elaborate it as to why REALLY she won't be doing the sequel. Oh, well. It's really challenging to summarize an entire book into a movie. SO I understand that part. That's exactly why it made me wonder why people should go gaga over it.

bzzzzz....there...there's the bug. right on top of your nose! kidding. yep, i agree with you. We were a crowd when we went to the moviehouse. And everytime Edward came out,the rest of the people would just go "Eeeeeh". Admittedly, I just said "Eeeh," so I won't look like I didn't belong. Right, I wasn't spellbound that much. I think it's because the book had been quite popular for some time before they decided to make a movie out of it. That explains all the shrills, and giggles....umm...quite annoying really.

When my daughter told me to read Twilight so I would know what it was about when we went to see the movie, I looked at the book and said to myself WOW that's alot of pages...It took me exactly 1 day to read it, then I had to go and buy the other 3 RIGHT THAT VERY SAME DAY...I didn't do anything just read for 5 days, that is how engrossing they are, how well written they are. Stephanie Meyer takes an everyday love story and turns it into something more. HEllo!!! teenage girl + vampire boy = one great story, then to top it off you throw in a love triangle with a werewolf and your hooked.

I've heard the books were really good. I'm more interested on how people reacted to the movie. And most of the time, I have responders who are willing to rally with me that the movie didn't meet the expectations of the avid readers.

That would make your pocket happy too all year round.

Whose pocket? Her pocket? My! Why didn't I think of that! Man! "Twilight stuff for sale!!!!" "Twilight stuff for sale!!!"

I respect that, no prob! it's a free country! :-D

Oh i forgot! lol! Wtf... I'm kinda out of my mind lately. I mean the people who like tha book but hate the movie.. They're the ones awaiting for the sequel.

oh whatever! But you DO want to see the sequel, don't ya?

being official (yet unwilling) tends to put you on a safe area from mylot arsons willing to throw flames at you whenever you go against them. Especially that a lot of people are so hot about Twilight lately. So you're waiting for the sequel? I'll go get you a huge box of popcorn.

watch your back tonight...:-) some twilighter might just love to plunge a knife down your very spine. You know how fanatics are! *whispering* I agree with you. *watching over my shoulder*

i can evaluate the movie at face value because I've never really read the books. I think that the movie was good but not to the point of getting totally obsessed with it.

can we sue the make-up artist?

so you usually read the previews before you get to watch any movie? That's good at least, it saves you from any disappointment.

I reread your discussion and it looks like you were talking about the movie, Twilight. I haven't seen the movie but I have read the book. I plan on seeing the movie though.

you're a cool grandma! yeah, although I don't totally recommend you to watch the movie, I think you should both for the sake of watching (so you won't get left behind the fad), and to compare. Then you can try posting your opinion here when you get back. What do u think? I'll be counting on your next visit, okay?

I've never read the books, both Harry P and Twilight. But I loved Harry P. Maybe I'm not so much into the Romance Avenue, that's why. I can deal with wizards and witches better than I do with vampires.

i haven't read any of the books. But I've watched Harry Potter and Twilight. Yet, Harry Potter mesmerized me more. I guess I'm not so much into romance stuffs. It's the inner child I guess.

i'd love some really cool realistic fangs to go with the hoodie. I think the dolls would be just lovely too, don't you think?

i couldn't agree with you more. If I were to cite some realy good scenes in the story, I would def choose the baseball part, and the part where Edward carried Bella on his back and they climbed up that gigantic tree that was overlooking the mountains and everything.

just breathtaking..:-)

I haven't read the books as my reading abilities have been exhausted by all the college books that I had to re-read. So like I mentioned above, I could only judge the movie at face value. I was disappointed in a way that people had been telling "the movie is so good", "edward's soo cute", and all that, and yet I ended up like I just watched a regular episode of Smallville with Smallville being of better quality and having better-looking main actor. No offense, really. I know how smitten you were with Edward. But I admit, if an "edward" was infront of me saying all those romantic lines "like he was from another time", I think I would just nosebleed big time. Thanks for the response. Your bandwagon parked infront of our house. I love the pink-colored wheels. kidding.:-)

oooh, a certified addict! Really, if you don't want to be bitten, stay out of her at least at a 1 km radius. It tends to be contagious! How do you find her? I mean for someone who isn't a die=hard twilighter. Weird, right?
