 Nerdy White Girl Sees -Twilight-
*Sigh* after watching this movie I wanted to find my very own vampire.  The forbidden love story was both tragic and something you desperately want for yourself. I have read many reviews about this movie and most gave it bad reviews saying that the acting was not that good.  Well I found it very believable. Other complaints were that the movie did not follow the book.  There is some truth to that because there were details that were left out but I think that if they included everything then the movie would be too long.  A person can only watch a movie so long. 

What I found most lacking from the movie that was explained in the book was the many emotions of Edward.  Reading the book only made me want my very own vampire more.

There was only one thing that I found completely disturbing about the story line.  The author takes a great leap away from all the vampire lore that has been written and basically came up with her own ideas.  The ideas made vampires more PG and not so scary but it took great diversion from any written lore that I have ever read.

Thanks! I so didn't think the name would be available but it was. I can see the struggle that makes the books so great. She also has to deal with a werewolf too and in the book I like him too. It makes a great triangle. But the love forever bit was the type of language a romantic likes to hear.

Yer ID makes me think of Weird Al Yankovich's song "White and Nerdy":P

I have no interest in seeing Twilight in the theater unless someone like my sis went with me. She had me see one or two Harry Potters with her. I felt like a big loser seeing the 5th one alone. It just seems like a kiddy version of an adult movie. And, the vampire/werewolf(the third part of the triangle not covered in movie one) thing has been done before. Ever heard of Anita Blake?

It's good for an author to do a departure sometimes. And, when movies change an original story to make a unique movie, it's good as well in cases when the story may be not as perfect as the author wanted or something... But, it's bad when you know the story and want to see it on the big screen. There have been a number of movies which leave out big chunks of a book for timing or whatever...I don't like that. I want to see the movie as it's written in the book. Just once I'd like to say, "I read it...and how cool was that to see it as I pictured it on the big screen?" I dont want to always settle for "well, they covered the gist of it".

PS IMO, vampires are not something to mess with. The potential reality is surely scarier than one can imagine. But, I guess it depends on how you "rate" them:P
