I got Twilight from a friend last October, as a bday gift and I have to say I loved the book. It really is addicting, but I can understand why so many people don't like it. Bella, for instance, annoys me a little bit. I also read New Moon (for those who haven't read it yet, be prepared!), and I'm waiting for my friend to send me Eclipse, 'cause she got it for me as well.
As for the movie, I wasn't happy at all with the cast, but I decided to give it a chance and went to see it. Don't like the girl that plays Bella, and the Edward is just not how I imagined him, but the movie is not so bad, I guess.

watched the movie on the computer and UGH... horrible shit, regret ever putting it on - but I had to see what all the fuss was about. Books may be better though, never know, but I personally won't be picking them up anytime soon as I'm stacked full of other material I actually have a want to read, instead of a curiosity

If you don't like just say what everyone else on this thread said, "It's not your thing, you didn't care for it....." But is it really necessary for you to say its "horrible shit"??!! THIS right here is my biggest problem with you!!! Choose your wording better!!! Its fine that you didn't like it, I'm sure your not the only one but everyone else just stated they didn't like it they didn't cut it down!!!!

I agree with you renapetes. There are nice ways of saying things, without the need of sounding rude, but I guess some people are only happy when they annoy others. Don't let it get to you, there's no need of getting annoyed over such a small thing Oh, and Vicki, if you like vampires and romance, then you'll love the book

there's no need of getting annoyed over such a small thing exactly. It's an opinion, no need to get all upset and everything - just chill.

Oh, trust me I didn't get upset over it Pipa thx I understand what you meant even if others STILL don't get it!!!!! I try not to get upset its more of it being hard to understand why anyone would be so hurtful and rude to want to purposely upset others but I guess our mother raised us better then some others

and rude to want to purposely upset others but I guess our mother raised us better then some others I'm not purposely trying to upset anyone at all and you can never seem to understand that, all I am doing is stating my opinion - that's it, nothing more nothing less and there is nothing wrong with any opinion being shared, whatsoever. And I like your contradictory statement there bucko, 'I guess our mother raised us better than some others' when you just went on about people (me) saying things to purposely 'hurt' others. Nice one.

Nothing contradictory about that that was just my "OPINION" see how rude that sounds?!! That was my point but I didn't mean to start a fight so do me a favor and save your opinion in threads I'm involved in we can't get along, I will avoid you so just avoid me. DONE.

I'm not going to go out of my way to make sure your not in the thread I'm about to post in, how about take your own advice for once and just AVOID MY COMMENTS. and I never said it sounded rude, because it doesn't, I said it's contradicting because your telling me one thing then using the opposite - whatever though, I could care less.

Has anyone else read New Moon? And Tyra, when you finally see the movie, let me know what you think

I am almost done with Breaking Dn.....I have to say though, I was reading in the production notes for New Moon that even though Edward wasn't in the book very much, he is going to be in the whole movie, we will be seeing what he was doing while Bella was hanging with Jake.... for the record I LOVED New Moon!!!

So far, I've only read Twilight and New Moon. I liked the first one better, because New Moon was a little bit deppressing hehe And I didn't know that about the movie, but I think it's an interesting idea. After all, most of the fan girls wouldn't be pleased if Edward was barely in the movie

The third book Eclipse is probably the next best one after Twilight, the last book is good too but I think my least favorite of the 4. It also looks like they are going to have not only a different director but also a different Jacob in New Moon, rumor has it that the director of Twilight, Katherine didn't get along with Robert Pattinson(Edward) and you know they weren't going to get rid of Edward....should be interesting, just found out today Twilight will be available on DVD on March 21st.
