We ordered our tickets online to avoid waiting in line. I couldn't imagine standing in line with all the shrieking girls who were in our theater. lol Our theater was sold out though. We came an hour early to get popcorn and such and still had to search for three seats together.
As someone who got sucked in to reading the books by friends who wouldn’t shut up about it, I have to comment that the books keep you reading because of the INTENSE sexual tension.
The funny thing to me is when feminists demanded that everyone return the last book so that the author didn’t get any money because SPOILER!!!!!!
Bella refuses to abort a baby that makes her very weak and unwell.
i live in the noVA suburbs of DC and prebought the tickets online, went to Tysons Corner mall to see it with my 15 yo and then COULD NOT PARK. i literally cruised for a half hour in this huge parking garage at the mall and COULD NOT FIND A PLACE to park. we left bc i was going to blow a gasket and so i ate those 2 tickets and we went to a different theater where i WAS able to park and we went in at 3 pm, bought the tickets and saw the movie at 3:30, there was a line but it moved right on into the theater.
Yep. And the nice thing is, despite being ridiculed by Bella, he stands strong for his morals.
Plus, I do think Meyer does an interesting play with Edward, who struggles with his morality and his “soul”. It’s a nice change from typical Hollywood heroes.
I just want it to go away and die. A stake through the heart would be ok. Am I the only twentysomething woman on the planet who thinks vampires are gross?
Maybe I should write a book about people who kill shiny vampires.
That was really a movement? Return the book because Bella didn’t abort?
(I was a little late to the Twilight game, having read all four books over this past December and January.)
that’s true, he doesn’t want her to become a vampire because he doesn’t want her to lose her soul and become damned. the books are incredibly gripping. did you read The Host? i am not a sci fi fan at all and i enjoyed the heck out of that one too.
How many books are there?
the thing is, the vampire aspect is only the mechanism to tell the story. it’s the love story that attracts, not the vampire angle at a;;. it could have been about robots or anything else and still been good.
I didn’t read it or haven’t yet. I’m not a sci-fi fan and it took two books before I even warmed up to the Twilight series. I thought the first book was clumsy. Of course, it was targeted at Middle School aged tweens, so it was perfect, but no one alerted me to that beforehand.
we left the theater Sat. night at 11:00 after seeing ‘2012,’ and the parking lot was still full, probably from ‘New Moon.’
yeah, no way around it, KStew is a skank. and Robert Pattinson has hygiene issues, but the books/movies are still GOOD! LOL!
Calling Wesley Snipes, you are needed for a mission.
Unfortunately, the author of the Twilight books or the movie producers can’t control what a Hollywood actress does in her personal life.
It’s selling EMO teenage angst. You know, because white, middle class, teenage life is soooooooo tough.
i came late to it also. We read the first 3 books the summer before Breaking Dawn came out, so we really could read them one after the other without waiting. I was sad to be done with them [i agree the first book and first movie are not the best of the lot] so i read the Host and was pleasantly surprised. i recommend it also.
My girl is only 7 months old but there is no flippin’ way I’d let her read Twilight. Too many unhealthy suggestions, not to mention the writing is horrible.
Vampire ‘sex’ is an oxymoron. What would be the point? Viagra or cialis just would’nt work.
