Twilight Zone
Written by Suzanne on November 18, 2011How many of you are Twilight fans?
Please don’t throw tomatoes after I say this but I’m not in the Twilight zone. It’s not that I dislike The Twilight Saga but I never picked up the novels and when I did see the first movie I just wasn’t feeling it.
First off there’s something about Bella that makes me cringe. All that blubbering she does. I’m all for a good love story but her dilemma is so… well…high school.
The other problem I have with The Twilight Saga is I can’t decide on a team. I don’t find either of the love interests that appealing. I like to joke with friends that are in the Twilightzone by saying, “I’m for Team Edward, Team Edward Scissorhands.”
Like I said before, please don’t throw tomatoes. Being the pop culture lover that I am, how could I not appreciate what’s popular? Appreciating and liking are two different things, much like Edward and Jacob.
Because I haven’t read the novels, I am intrigued by the latest movie. It looks like all the high school drama is out and all the going to the chapel action is in.
Have you read the Twilight novels? Did you camp out to get your Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 premiere ticket this week?
In honor of the latest Twilight premiere let’s step back into the “Twilight Zone” with this retro tune from 1982 by Golden Earring.

I’ve read the novels, but it took a bit of effort on my part to get into because her dilemma is so high school. She struck me as whiney and I really didn’t care who she ended up with. But once I got into it, the books were intriguing and kept me glued until the end. Unfortunately the 1st movie is like the 1st book…will I be camped out? Nope, I’d like to see it but may just have to wait until it’s on DVD. :)

I read the books and they were mildly enjoyable but the movies are really awful. It’s sad that both of them are as popular as such brilliant books and movies like Harry Potter. Tsk tsk. I really can’t stand Bella, or rather, the casting for Bella I guess. In the movies she comes across like a sulking, moody, mumbling hosebag and I do not think she is at all pretty especially with all that greasy hair in her face all the time. I just saw her on Conan last night and she isn’t much better in person. In fact I don’t even think she is acting in the movies but just being her mumbly serious self.
