Hi all, I sub at local high schools, and I pose the question to the girls who are hot for this series, “Would you be attracted to a 90-year old man?” “How about an 80-something guy like Hugh Hefner?” They all groan and say “Gross!” Then I ask them why Edward is different…they say he’s so hot! I ask them what on earth he and Bella would talk about? Do they have anything in common, other than he likes to smell her? Or watch her sleep? Or follow her around? All of which is truly creepy…they get confused then. Their idea of romance is so simplistic, that they never actually think it through to what it would be like for them, when staring at each other with longing gets boring. So no, I’m not on either team as a cheerleader. I’m hoping my own 16-year old daughter will avoid guys this moody and obsessed, or I’ll have to get her older brothers to kick his ass! Personally, I think Stephanie Meyers writes like the Bronte sisters did…she writes what she THINKS “love” SHOULD be like, not what actual people are like. So it’s not just fiction, it’s fantasy.

Hi Katie, Susan and Candy,

I see us three are in a minority Susan and Katie since we could take it or leave it.

I am sorry but I just don’t see the appeal of a 100 year old vampire stallking (well he is stalking her for gods sake) a 17yr. old. *shudder* I kept hearing “CRIME” in my head. LOL

Candy- I am not knocking those who love this series in books and movies and more power to y’all. I hope you enjoy the movie.

Katie- I am with you. If I was Bella, I would have kicked his arse to the artic circle because as far as I am concerned any guy that wishy washy needs it. *shrus* But that is just me. And I agree- I need the vamps. to be hot and sexy for an adult. Unfortunatly I couldn’t get intot he whole pure love romance because all I kept hearing in my head was “Stalker”. LOL

Does this mean I am crazy? LOL

Thanks for coming guys.

Raine D.

I am with you Raine and Katie..I just think it’s not my cup of tea..I must be in that age group too where I felt it was a teen book and not mature enough for me. I now have it confirmed I am not nuts after all. thanks ladies..I thought I was the only one who wasn’t google eyed and swaying with emotions over the whole deal. ha susan L.

I saw the movie and then read the series. Like most women, it took me about two days to read the entire series and I have to say that I absolutely love it.
The whole concept of love triumphing over all makes the romantic us sit up and say YEAH!!!
I am not on any teams. My grandma, mom, and I are planning on going out to see it a week after it shows. We are hoping to avoid the immediate craze but after that I can see us watching it over and over again.
Grandma (who is 79) is the biggest fan and absolutely loves Edward. Mom is more into Jake.
If I could I would pick both.

I watched the first movie but only because I kept hearing about and wanted to see what the buzz was about. Like you Raine, I wasn’t impressed either.
I am not sure what all of the names are so forgive me. The girl just seemed to be so moody and the kept taking and pushing her away a lot. If I had been her, I would have kicked his arse to the curb a long time ago.
Will I go see this movie, probably not. I can’t see spending that kind of money for a movie that I will probably not like.
I think I must be too old to get into or something. I just like them older and more mature I guess. lol
