I Don't Care. I Love Twilight.

"For all Buffy’s efforts, vampires have been sinking their teeth ever deeper
into Generation W’s pop culture. To a spate of hugely profitable books and
HBO’s True Blood, add this month’s Twilight, a movie based on Stephenie
Meyer’s blockbuster saga, which has sold millions of copies in the U.S.
alone. As starlet Kristen Stewart plays the mortal innocent to Robert
Pattinson’s undead rebel, the author explores the buried messages of this
bloodsucking invasion." Read more of Wolcotts ruminations
here.

I don't care if it's going to suck. I don't care what they say. Because I am a teenager again and am going to see this movie in theaters at least 5 times before it goes to DVD. Alas, I am suffering my own personal financial crisis and am actually too much of an old lady to suffer through opening weekend. Nonetheless, I love Edward. And the next 2 in the series (New Moon and Eclipse) are already staked out for production! Check out the brilliant James Wolcott and accompanying hype on the Vanity Fair site. You can even watch the kids in the film getting their picture taken. Then you can look at the pictures again. And read 20 interviews. It's a beautiful world, ain't it?
