New Moon!!!

I thought she was perfect for Jane because she was supposed to look all sweet and unassuming, but was really evil.

I've got my tickets, too, and can't wait! But I don't think there are too horribly many of us on AW. lol

My daughter started the countdown when the calendar changed to November.

As soon as I picked her up from school, I was informed that there were just 4 more days.

She's having a date with her daddy to go see it.

All together now: AWWWWWW.

I love the previews for New Moon. Those little puppy doggies look so adorable!

We don't get New Moon here in Hong Kong til December 17! I think we're the second last country on the planet. Stink!

I enjoyed the books. They're not great, but I enjoyed them. Liked the first movie well enough. The cast impresses me. The publicity makes the film to look gorgeous (and they've improved the make-up noticeably imho).

But on a side note, I do NOT see why they placed Dakota Fanning as Jane. She is NOT a Jane,

Who is Dakota Fanning?

What is "a Jane"?

A friend and I will probably see it the last week of school (first week fo December) when we need a break from frying our brains with law. We're only seeing it for the werewolves. I'm just happy we don't have to see freaking sparkly vamps for the majority of the film. I'm sorry but a vampire does not sparkle. They burst into flames when they step into sunlight. And a good beheading or stake (or in some cases sword if there's a swirly vortex of hell behind them) to the heart should do it.

Yes, I'm Whedonite. Hear me laugh as Buffy kicks Edward's sparkly butt (and then goes ans snogs Spike).

Oh yeah...I should leave before the twi-hards descend upon me. *is off to watch Will Wheaton be a jerk*

I'll wait for it to come out on DVD then sneak over the Florida West Coast and watch it with friends.

I enjoyed the first movie more than the book. It's very romantic and goes straight to the point, without any crap.
I just don't think there is enough passion between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. They should send signals everytime they meet, but they just don't. There is no sparkle in their eyes as there should be when you are dying with passion for someone.

I hated the Twilight movie but I really did enjoy the second book enough to give it a chance at the box office (my grandmother saw Rob Pattinson on TV and said "he's sexy!" so I have a date, too ). Plus, Stephenie Meyer was excited enough about the movie to make an appearance on Oprah so it must be better than Catherine Hardwicke's interpretation.

I think the movies are better than the books so far. Just change how they sparkle. I thought it would be more of a "Stardust" sparkle shine.

Yeah, I thought the movie was better than the book. (Had to pick the book up to see what all the fuss was about.) The book reads like a second draft in need of more work. It's too bad because it could've been a better story for all that.

Gotta point out that in folklore -- and in fiction up until the play version of Dracula -- vampires at no time suffered any damage whatsoever from sunlight.

But...then Dracula happened, and now all god-damned vampires should burn in sunlight and like it. Hurumph.

Hopefully this movie will be edited better than the last one (all those 12 second scenes and smashcuts made me motion sick). I'll probably watch it, because I think the weres were the better characters, but I'm not exactly excited.

In the novel, Dracula is seen walking in daylight and didn't burn up, it's Hollywood that originally made vamps burn to dust in the sun. And Steph to make them sparkle.

I'll wait to rent it on DVD.

But even Dracula walked around in the day time. At least he did in the movie. I haven't read the book yet.

Technically it was the Hamilton Deanne play of Dracula that introduced the whole "fatal sunlight" bit and then F.W.Murnau used in for the film Nosferatu.

I don't mind the sparkling much, but I do miss fangs (first introduced in vampire fiction in Varney The Vampyre).

I found out two friends are closet Twihards and we rounded up a fourth unsuspecting victim to go Friday night. I am both psyched and not embarrassed by said psyched-ness.
