Twihard, sheeyah!
I don't think there's nearly enough discussion of Twilight on this blog, people. Anyone who has the misfortune to know me IRL (In Real LIfe) knows that I'm a Twihard. I'm not proud. It's a disease that I'm learning to live with. There's an ointment.
I heart Edward Cullen.
I used to heart Jacob Black, but I can't reconcile the fact he's played by a baby-faced 18-year-old.
Don't judge me. Love me. I need help.
In any case, here's the teaser trailer for New Moon, out November 20th. (barely restrained squee) Five billion people have already watched it multiple times.
Some fans even taped their first reactions to it. This one amused me greatly.
And that reaction? Say what you will about the books or the writing, but anything that elicits this kind of a fan/reader response is something no writer should dismiss. SMeyer's doing something right. This is why I study Robert Pattison. Uh...I mean, study the characterization and important story themes. And stuff.

I'm pretty sure this girl has a stroke.
I heart lots of books though and yours are always some of my favorites. It is because of my love of the Twilight series though that opened me up to reading for fun again and now I can't get enough.
And that reaction clip? AMAZING. It's like they don't know what's coming! They've read the books! The movie IS the book! And yet the surprise on their precious little faces!
But I will still see this because that five seconds of werewolf pr0n at the end looks pretty bad ass.
Werewolves beating up on Vampires will always suck me in. Hell, I watched two out of three Underworld flicks and an extremely shitty Howling sequel for this reason alone.
I do wonder how in the world they're going to do the last book...
Anyway, I may watch this when it comes to DVD just for the sake of comparing it to the book.
And while I may be almost twice as old as the kid playing Jake, I'll give him props for the gym time. Very nice. ;)
I can't wait!
Having said that, I do feel rather like a dirty old lady when I saw the actor who plays Jacob with his shirt off in the trailer. I'm sure boys didn't look that good back in my day...
The fan reaction, however, I consistantly find puzzling. It was the same reaction girls had to The Beatles, Bay City Rollers, Duran Duran and sundry boy bands from the 90's onward. Mario, it can't be your XY chromosomes preventing you from understanding it. Unless there's something about me even I don't know about...
I too am a Twilaholic. It is a disease, didn't know about the ointment, does it cause a rash? I heart Edward Cullen and Jasper Hale. It is horrible that I have no desire to get over my addiction and have to pay my daughter to watch Twilight with me for about the 1000 time. I just can't get enough. If you need evidence, I did any entire Twilight blog and plan a New Moon blog. I know, it's a sickness. I do look for help, just not with much gusto. I'm having to much fun with the addiction, sad but true.
