I still haven't managed to read any of the books, because of my throwing across the room response.
The movie was amazing. I have never laughed that hard at anything, my god. So awkward! I've said it before, but Twilight's big problem is that it's secondary characters are hella more interesting than it's main characters.
I went to a Twilight con (I knew people running it!) and was really impressed with the actors, Edi Gathegi, Taylor Lautner and Nikki Reed that were there. Nikki Reed is hardcore cool, and an amazing, inspirational person. And that was really interesting, learning why she decided to play Rosalie.
I like a lot of the aspects of Twilight, if you take away the idea that I am supposed to believe it's romantic. Goddamn I love messed up teenagers having crazy vampire stalker boyfriends. That's fun to see.
Also part of me yearns for Bella's dad, Tom Sellack and Billy Black, the paraplegic native American werewolf to have their own buddy roadtrip film. I would watch the shit outta that.
