Twilight

    I feel a little guilty bashing Twilight (both the book and the movie) because frankly, I've never read/watched it.  But jeez, I've never come across anyone who tries to defend it,  Especially those who have read/watched it.

Eclipse

The big movie news of the week was the Tuesday midnight opening of Eclipse. They had a special deal here - for $20 you could go at 7:30 PM and watch all the movies in the series so far. I think there's three of 'em now. . I'm happy to say I have yet to read a page of any of the Twilight books. I am utterly not the target audience. If I had to read them, I'd be forced to do what is shown in the above cartoon. And I'm really not a fan of speed-reading. Read a book in a day; forget it in a month.

The sequel

The premiere is midnight tonight. With lots of teenage girls lining up hours in advance to see it, after solemnly promising their parents that they'll be up and ready to go to school on time just fine tomorrow morning.
