November 21 CANNOT Come Soon Enough

If I keep seeing more and more "Twilight" trailers I am going to implode.

I am a bit apprehensive and really excited at the same time. I am worried that the world that Stephenie Meyer created has been butchered, and it will ruin my own view of the characters and story. On the other hand, I think that Robert Pattinson was the best casting EVER and if girls keep hearing his accent during promotions there are going to be a lot more baby Bellas out there.

He isn't the normal teen hearthrob either. He wasn't an androgynous Disney star that can sing and dance. He is a musician (he actually wrote and performed Bella's Lullabye on the soundtrack,) he is kind of a bad boy (smoker) and well, he's British. H-O-T.

I actually think the sequels to the movies will be better since Twilight-mania swept over America this summer with the release of the fourth and final book in the series. When they started production, the books were popular, but not of Rowling-esque proportions, therefore the budget was paltry compared to best-selling teen novel movie budgets of today. It's unfortunate because "Twilight" is by far the best of the four novels, so I really hope Hardwicke and company did a really good job. Summit Entertainment might have gotten really lucky with this one falling in their lap...I am surprised Scott Rudin hasn't bullied his way into stealing the rights now that the interest has piqued so much.

So, I guess I will just have to close my eyes and ears for the next 3 weeks in order to avoid my body and soul being melted by RPats.
