If you over think these books, you see that it's nuts...but if you can just escape in the moment, I found them captivating. As for Jake's pants - no way, keep em low baby....it was the only steamy thing in the movie that kept me there - his half naked body! "Dark, brooding, rich, totally gorgeous guy who drives a cool car and does all of the thinking for the both of us? Sign me up!" - yep, completely agree! If just for one freaking day I could not have to think for myself and have a man just make sure each and every (well, I guess not all with Edward) needs and want is met. Now that is a fantasy itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388181906792377096.post-25728814470360234352009-11-30T16:39:11.307-08:002009-11-30T16:39:11.307-08:00Yes, if you really think about the Edward-Bella th...Yes, if you really think about the Edward-Bella thing it is completely unhealthy and a little creepy. That's not the point, though. The point , as I see it, is to capture the longing, the frustration and conflicting/confusing emotions of being 17. It's exciting, irrational, you feel invinsible, you're lost and you want sex all of the time. I saw the series as a momentary escape into a mixed up little fantasy world. I didn't analyze it too much because then I would have been embarassed that I was reading it...and enjoying evry page!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388181906792377096.post-26722493738313395632009-11-30T10:55:02.306-08:002009-11-30T10:55:02.306-08:00All your points are valid - or would be in the rea...All your points are valid - or would be in the real world, but I totally bought the Twilight Book 1 fantasy. Dark, brooding, rich, totally gorgeous guy who drives a cool car and does all of the thinking for the both of us? Sign me up!<br /><br />But I saw New Moon yesterday - it was totally ridiculous. I went in with low expectation and it managed not to meet them. Edward looks much chalkier than his did in Twilight, he drives a Marin Mom Mobile, I kept wanting to tell Jakob to pull his pants up - I don't want to see his underwear band - and I LOL'd when I saw "Tony Blair" as the head Vulutri honcho. <br /><br />Even the extras in the red riding hood crowd scene were lame - you could feel the twittery "Oh wow, we're in a T'light movie" vibe coming off of them...Lara Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310974862293695147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1388181906792377096.post-57764648892873037212009-11-30T10:38:16.704-08:002009-11-30T10:38:16.704-08:00totally agree about twilight yet still read them a...totally agree about twilight yet still read them all. Heard the author is a Mormon - I think that explains just about everything. I saw New Moon last night and could not stop laughing at all the wrong moments. It did make for a fun night.<br /><br />btw - the books just get worse from a "girl gives up herself for a boy" POV.katenoreply@blogger.com
