Twilight Hype.

First and foremost, Happy Thanksgiving! Well, post Thanksgiving. My family celebrates for two days.

But now, as I promised, I am here for one purpose alone, and that is to speak Twilight. I am happy enough to admit that I am a TWILIGHTER. Meaning, I have read all four books, bought every magazine that I have seen with any Twilight characters on it, my walls have pictures of Rob Pattinson all over them, and I am starting to read the series for the second time.

So, I think it may be safe to say that I am a Twilighter.

Now, it is time to talk movies.

Melissa Rosenberg, the screenwriter for Twilight, did the best job she could adapting the phenomenon to the big screen. And in my opinion, she did a pretty good damn job. For any movie at all it is very difficult getting the movie to be precisely close to the book. Of course things were changed, added, and moved around, but all in all, Twilight came out a success.

The biggest problem with film adaptations with books is that the fans of the novels walk into the theatre automatically trying to find the films flaws. You can't do that or else the film as a whole will be ruined, and that is exactly why I will be going to watch Twilight for the second time tomorrow.

But yes, there were flaws. One being Edward's and Bella's relationship. The book as a whole is supposed to be based on their forbidden relationship, however, in the book, there was hardly any development. And oh! One of my favorite scenes in the book was not at all PUT INTO THE MOVIE! The scene in which they were doing blood analysis in class and Edward missed that class, and Bella fainted. Yea, wasn't in there. But to get back on track, I wish that Rosenberg would have done a better job of developing there love. It was rushed into extremely too fast.

Also, I would just like to touch basis on some of the characters. First of all, JASPER'S HAIR. What went wrong? They made him seem too girlish. Jackson Rathbone, the actor who played Jasper, just could NOT rock that hair style. And, one of my favorite scenes of him from the book, was again, not in the movie. When Jasper, Alice, and Bella were at the hotel, which in the movie they were there for like 5 minutes instead of a couple of days, Bella said something to him and Alice and Jasper said, "No Bella, you are worth it." THAT WAS NOT IN THERE!

And another thing, Bella's and Alice's relationship was also not developed, so I would definitely would like to see how they set that up in New Moon.

That is right, NEW MOON WAS APPROVED. After it's epic weekend, Entertainment Weekly had a post about it on their site. I have to say that I have some pretty high hopes for New Moon. I hope that whoever is directing it, because there is no definite answer on whether or not Catherine Hardwicke or the rest of the Twilight Cast for that matter, is able to take the criticism that Twilight received and use it to make New Moon even better. Although Twilight really wasn't targeted for the adult audience, the acting was kind of mediocre. So maybe that is something that will be fixed.

Bella kind of annoyed me in the movie ... I wasn't expecting her to look or seem that miserable ... And the first time that Jacob and Bella met up again seemed kind of FORCED. I don't know ... it didn't look like acting.

And Rob Pattinson did a great job with Edward. I don't care what anyone says. People need to keep in mind that Edward isn't supposed to be some modern day gorgeous ken doll. He supposed to be Victorian beautiful .. which he was.

All in all, Twilight wasn't half bad. It wasn't a masterpiece ... but I really wasn't as bad as I expected. So with that, I leave you all a gift! ;)

Gorgeous much?
