Twilight: It's a love/hate relationship


There's been a lot of hubbub over the upcoming release of the movie Twilight. I'm sick of it. I don't care if you like it or you don't like it. Heck, you're going to go see it anyway (if you're not, you're dumb). So quit complaining about how the cast isn't right and the plot doesn't follow the book. As I see it, it'll be different words but the same tune. Cool your jets, snag some popcorn and leave your magnifying glasses at home. It's an artistic interpretation. Would it really be that great if the cast was perfect and every word was directly from the book? Personally, I don't think so.
If the movie were exact, there would be nothing new or exciting about it. Everyone would know all the details and would even get more than a little bored with it. As for the poor saps who can't pick up a book and read it all the way through, they're probably out of luck. This movie is taking on a life and reputation of it's own, like movies should.
Furthermore, the amateur critics and bandwagon readers can just go whine somewhere at the bottom of some large body of water. I was reading the Twilight series before it was cool to read it and I'm pretty darn happy with the results I've been seeing. See you at the movies!
