Twilight

I was majorly disappointed in this movie. They left out all the vital part's of it, Edward looked nothing like they described him in the book. Bella's lullaby is all wrong. Everything about it just pissed me off!

I haven't read the books or seen the movie, but my sister has just finished reading the first book, Twilight, and now she's really after me to read it too, as she enjoyed it a lot (although she hasn't seen the movie yet either).

I do plan to borrow her copy and read it sometime soon, so I can see what all the excitement is about. I saw one of my nieces this summer, and she also told me I should the books!

The books are pretty good (parts are fabulous, parts are just 'okay' and the first book in particular is quite romantic.

I've heard bad things about the movie, to the point where I don't think I want to see it.

There are movies, which are base on books that will miss out a lot of stuff, just look at the Lord Of The Rings films. They may be good but they did miss out a lot of stuff and had to change a bit of it as well.

The same thing could be said about the Harry Potter books. I have read all the books and seen the films and they have either change bits of the films and miss out several chunks from the books.

He he, I went to the the first POTC film at the cinema and all the girlies were squealing whenever Orlando Bloom appeared on screen. My friend, who is not in touch with the younger generation, didn't work out that it wasn't Johnny Depp getting the screams.

I read one review of Twilight, from a newspaper reviewer who undoubtedly has not read the book, and he enjoyed it. He enjoyed its muted palette, serious rather than tongue-in-cheek approach, and update on the old theme of good girl meets bad boy. He doesn't seem to like all that many films. Since I'm unlikely to get around to reading the book or seeing the film, I am not in a position to judge.

I haven't read the Twilight books or seen the movie, but after all this talk, I think you've piqued my interest. I'll hold off from seeing the movie though.... Seems like every time a feature film is made from a book/series, it's never as good as the original writing. HP, Devil Wears Prada, etc. JMHO!

LB, you'll enjoy the first book... *very* swoony! I was almost inspired to write a fic (Gatch fic, not vampire) because the swooniness was so inspiring...
