It’s a love story–not a “teen crush movie”. Don’t judge it, please. It’s very rude. And why should it matter what age likes it? Anyone can like a book/movie…I know plenty of older people that are obsessed with the book. And, don’t judge teenagers. We know good books. I, for example, am about to read Pride and Prejudice, and I am partly through Wuthering Heights. I plan to buy more classics.
Twilight, to me, is amazing.

Well, Twilight’s main characters ARE teenagers (or pretending to be), but it doesn’t shy away from the hormones. That was one of the questions I had when reading it…how would the author get navigate that territory? I think she pulled it off in a rather clever, non-sterotypical way. Bella is NOT Edward’s morality police, which is extremely refreshing to me.

It *IS* a purposefully (sp) over the top love story (romeo & juliet), so just keep that in mind. The Vamping is awesome though.

True Blood is more adult in a variety of ways, but I think Twilight is a rather enjoyable story too!

Thanks Roxie for the vote of confidence that I will like it. I am not against the film by any means, it just looks very teenager to me. I like True Blood because they can be “adult” about things. It seems that maybe Twilight could be more if it maybe were an R. But again I won’t have any bias prior to screening the film.

If you love True Blood, then you most definitely like Twilight.
There are a few plot parallels, but they have different flavors.
Don’t let your biases get in the way of your new fandom!
