{Nods} From what I know of the books, they're not something I'm going to enjoy - vampires are NOT SPARKLY IN THE SUNLIGHT, durn it all!! Unless, as was suggested by someone a few months ago, they put on body glitter and crashed a Twilight convention. But, I do have a handful of friends who like the books, so for me it's like Harry Potter - doesn't do anything for me, but if others like it, good for them. I'm not going to make fun of them liking the books, and I'm not going to try and ruin anyone's movie going fun on purpose. I've got better things to do with my $8-10 dollars, like putting gas in my car, getting groceries, feeding my cats.

I'm starting to feel sorry for the few I know who like the books, because some of the reviews for the movie don't sound very promising. I think one said that the actors playing the vampires didn't look like attractive, potentially lethal beings, but actors who had simply fallen into a lot of pancake makeup. Sounds to me like the movie is going to be yet another case of fans saying, "The book(s) was(were) MUCH better," when they leave the theatre.
