The Twilight Series: Books and Movies
Are there any of you still holding out to read or watch this series? If you are, why?
To be VERY honest (and I’ve said this before) I had no desire what so ever to read this series. I have never been a fan of vampire anything. You could say I am a fairy tale scary lore fuddy dud. Not my thing.
I had already had other acquaintances, people I never thought would read such a genre, read these books and were ga-ga over it, begging me to pick the story up. I kept holding out, did not think this is something I could enjoy.
Another truth, I only read this story because some PolkMoms was chatting this and saying they loved it I really thought I would (finally) read this and give the opposing view.
Not to be, I loved it!
So, if you are like me, really holding fast to, “I’m not going to read this series”, take it from someone that was exactly in your shoes not that long ago. Try it, you might like it. Plus, chances are, you know someone that has these books. Ask to loan them. You won’t be out anything. : )
I wanted to take this space to chat this story line, whether it be the books or the movie. If you enjoy this story, too, add your thoughts about the books and movies here.
I think a chatty Twilight topic could be, are there scenes you would hate to see not added to future movies that are in the books? Check out this, 5 Breaking Dawn Scenes That Need to Make It into the Movie. One mention is the wise cracks that Rosalie and Jacob share that can be really comical. I agree! I sure hope they can squeeze in some of that bantering wolf/vampire chemistry those two share.

Robert Pattinson Says 'Eclipse' Is 'Different,' More 'Serious'
This title had me at Robert Pattinson. Oh, that young man is a cutie! I could watch him in the - almost reveal himself to the light with out a shirt scene -in New Moon over and over and over and ......
Anyway, trying to stay on topic here! I am SOOOO excited the next Twilight installment will bring us more vamp, werewolf excitement (never thought I would add those last three words together happily-weird).
Are you as excited as I am? Are you a Twilight fan?

I'm not as much of a Twilight fans as my girls are! I'm just wondering if this one is going to be ok for them to watch?

I cannot wait!!! Huge twilight fan, obviously - and a Rob Pattinson fan too!!
I would have to agree to some extent with his assessment - if you read the books, this one was definitely more action in Eclipse than the others - in terms of violence and "seeing" fighting/deaths etc... Breaking Dawn, for children/young teens, I would worry about the sex scenes (though good moral point that they are married! :) and the birthing scene.

Knowing how "more serious" this book is as compared to the first two with the fight scenes...I would definitely see it first or get another parent opinion before you do let them go. Just my opinion!! :)

Oh no, you will not have to worry about sex scenes in this one...just the fight scenes. But like someone else said...Breaking Dawn will be the one to view first as far as sex scenes, the birth, etc.
