I discovered one of my most favorite book series earlier this year; a book about true love overcoming the most impossible-seeming of obstascles, and that we can become better than we are, if we really want to..... yep, you guessed it, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. It was the sort of book I went into a "reading coma" for; my roomie Sarabeth told me herself that it was 'making me anti-social'. After finishing the first book, I was fully entranced, and I couldn't stop thinking about it even to concentrate on my schoolwork -- would everything turn out alright? would edward lose control and kill bella? why didnt he just turn her into a vampire already? I read every book in the series (which was only the three, at that time) within a week. I was at the release of Breaking Dawn, which I finished in one day. I have been to Meyer's website and read every single outtake and draft there was. It is safe to say that I am obsessed with Twilight. I also have an excellent memory for things I have read, so I remember every detail from every book in the Twilight series.
I went and saw the Twilight movie last night.
I had already had low expectations of it from trailers and movie updates I had seen on the internet... actually, I had originally intended to boycott this movie because of the things I had seen wrong from these previews, but I ended up going with some friends to see the midnight premiere, expecting dissappointment but hoping for magic.
But, not only was I dissappointed at this movie, I was outraged! I want to throw flaming daggers at the director and punch the writers in the kidney! The camera work was sporadic and nonsensical, like an 8 year old boy with a.d.d. The script was crap, and the actors? Kristen Stewart spent half the time with this stupid look on her face and delivered her lines like a broomstick. Robert Pattinson was okay as Edward (he actually exceeded my expectations) but it still seemed like sometimes he forgot his lines right before he begins to say them.
I could go on, but that is probably unnecessary, I'm sure I've made my sentiments clear. I give Twilight about twenty thousand thmbs so far down they are pretty much molten magma.

I agree completely. That girl and her man voice...
But I am reading Midnight Sun, and you know how I don't like Bella? Well I am starting to love her from Edward's point of view. And I am so angry that she is not going to finish them! Grrr!!!!
I hated the movie. I went with Ginny and Amber and we were laughing...we couldn't believe it was serious. It seemed like a bad spoof on youtube. I can't believe they did this to such a good book.
