Twilight...The Movie


Ok, so I'm secretly obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and am anxiously awaiting the 4th book to come out. I'm equally excited about the cast for the upcoming Twilight movie. Kristen Stewart is playing Bella Swan and Robert Pattinson (known for his role as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter) is playing Edward Cullen. I couldn't be happier. Yes, call me a nerd...I can't deny it. This much became obvious when I purchased Eclipse on the first day it was released and had to stand, somewhat shamefully, behind a line of 13 year old girls who were clutching the same volume. Let me tell you, the too-cool-for-school twenty something boy at the checkout gave my stroller and I a questioning look as I placed the same teen vampire novel on the counter. Ashamed? Yes, slightly. Worth it? Absolutely.

  2. I'm with you Mer! I LOVE those books (and can't wait for the 4th to come out!). I was kind of disappointed when I first saw the movie cast...but those pictures you posted look so good (maybe the casting was great after all). After all...how do you find a "real life" Edward? He (and his perfect looks) simply don't exist--haha:-) ps--Can you believe that our little boys are 2 years old now? I hope that you're feeling good.

  5. I know this is an old blog, but I just read the whole series whilst in Eastern Europe and I went on a quest in Hungary to find the third book in english because i was so obsessed. I'm totally pumped about movie and fourth book as well and I would proudly stand in line with 13 year old girls to read it too.

  10. No need to be embarrassed. I'm 48 and absolutely loved all 4 books, which I read in less than a month, just to highlight my obsession with them. All of my co-workers are also in various stages of reading the books as well. Like the Harry Potter books, these appeal to all. Bravo Stephenie Meyer

  11. Don't feel bad, I just wanted to let you know that I turned 42 on Nov. 7, and I am the mother of 2, and yes, I too am obsessed with the Twilight Saga. I had not heard of the books, until I was reading a magazine and it had a review of the new book getting ready to come out. I then heard about the movie coming in November. This was sometime in September. I promptly went out and purchased all 4 books, and started at the beginning. I read all 4 books, in a week and a half, and I am currently rereading the series again for the second time. It reminds me so much of my favorite all time show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her true love, Angel. I am a sucker for Vampire stories. Is that sick or what?
