Seriously. I don't think enough happened in Breaking Dawn to fill one movie, let alone three.

Yeah, she is very average.. you would think they could now afford to hire an actress with a bit of range who shows emotion and doesn't want to put you to sleep. But that's pretty much what Bella is. She doesn't care about anything but Edward. She has no real friends that she cares about. She thinks everyone is beneath her. She can't muster up enthusiasm for anything that doesn't involve obsessing over Edward. She acts put upon when people want to throw her a birthday or graduation party. She's a horrible character, and I actually think Kristen Stewart made her much more human and relateable in the first movie than she is in the books. Obviously, I can't speak to New Moon, but in Twilight, I thought she played that emotionless, dull role better than I ever expected. I hated Bella in the book, but tolerated her on screen.

Well, there's always that fascinating scene where the super-spunky vampire teaches her how to wear contacts to cover up her vampire eyes (this was the point I threw the book across the room and quit reading forever).

The Twilight loonies have invaded Westwood (Los Angeles) for the New Moon premiere, which was tonight. According to friends who work in the area, various women in their twenties and thirties have been camped out for close to TWO weeks in front of the theatre. I can't tell you how irrationally annoyed I am at these people. Don't they have jobs? Families? Obligations? I can understand maybe spending the day waiting for a movie, but two weeks? For fuck's sake, Edward's still going to be undead and stalkerish no matter when you see the movie.

Being in Westwood, I'm guessing that some of the women camping out were students? And that they could wait in line in shifts? I don't know why I'm trying to make them sound less batshit insane, because we all know that Twilight fans are a particularly intense breed of weirdo.
Actually, I know someone who has friends who went on a "pilgrimage" to the town of Forks. I asked if they were teenage girls, and he said, "no, they're our age (mid 20's) and they're both married." The crazy, it knows no bounds.

The crazy, it knows no bounds. You're right - some are probably students. But then again, I would hope that UCLA students would be smart enough to realize Twilight is dreck. I can appreciate the insanity of Twilight loonies in that it allows a lot of merchandise companies to make $ and stay afloat in this economy. But on the downside, this means the rest of us have to deal with seeing Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's faces everywhere. ETA: Yoss, it's probably because they consider the actors to be good friends. Kid you not. The Twilight Moms are always talking about how they get to "hang out" (re: stalk) w/ the actors on sets, premieres, etc. So in their deluded minds, catching these glimpses = supporting their friends, despite the fact most of these actors have no idea who these people are. (I do give these actors props for knowing where their next meal comes, and how to take full advantage of that. I think Peter Facienelli actually made an IPHONE app specifically Twilight fans. Way to bank in on the gullible, Papa Cullen).

These people have been queueing for five days for the premiere. FIVE DAYS! Even if you were the biggest Twilight super-fan ever how can you find time - leave your family, your home, your job, your cat - for five days for a glimpse of a bunch of actors?

I can't wait to see reviews for this one. The first film at least had a pretty simple, kind of relateable story. This one is just completely non-sensical and strange. From Edward basically being gone for 2/3 of it, to the out of nowhere "Hey, there's a whole vampire royalty thing and they want Bella!" ending. Going in unaware, I'm imagining a lot of "WTF?" reactions from critics. And I'm curious to see how Lautner does, as his acting wasn't too impressive in Twilight.

I'm sick of these movies. I'm oversaturated. Even Vanity Fair is a part of it this month. I went to Bath and Bodyworks this weekend, and one of the salesgirls was desperate to show me their new scent, Twilight Woods. After telling her I wanted nothing to do with anything named "Twilight", she exclaimed, "Oh, no, this has nothing to do with the movies." Uh huh. So it's a *complete* coincidence you've come up with that fragrance name when Twilight is the biggest selling book/ movie series right now?
"Twilight Woods" stinks, BTW. Seriously, they could have named it "Essence of Daniel Craig" and it still would have smelled bad to me. It does smell like the woods, after all the animals in the forest have used it for a loo.
