I haven't seen the Twilight movie yet, and to be honest, I'm putting it off. First of all, I'm rarely ever happy with book to movie translations. They always ruin some part of the storyline. Sometimes its forgivable (Interview with the Vampire) and sometimes it isn't (Blood and Chocolate). Maybe it'll be alright because Stephenie Meyer got to give input during the production of the movie. The same was true of Anne Rice in Interview. Movies that just have the rights to the characters and plotline generally suck on an epic scale. Blood and Chocolate was a good movie, but if you'd read the book you'd be screaming at the screen ten minutes in. Also, Queen of the Damned was a good movie (still one of my favorites), but again if you'd read the book you'd think it was awful.
I am excited to learn that the third Underworld movie is coming out next month. Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycan is a prequel to the other two. I have a feeling it may be a straight to DVD thing, as the second Underworld didn't do so well. I'm excited either way.
You may also have noticed that I really like vampire movies (and books) as well as movies (and books) about werewolves. Ironically, I can't handle zombies.
Something else that I want to point out: I have a feeling that the young dating scene has now been completely ruined by Twilight. Girls are reading this epic romance and boys are watching porn. Talk about a gap. I still haven't convinced The Boy to read Twilight, but he has (extremely reluctantly) agreed to take me to the movie. I think we'll wait on that until it's playing at the Budget.

I haven't read the Twilight books, part of me wants to, just to see what the big hype is. But there is part of me that doesn't want to because there's a big hype.
