A darned shame. And I know I know I know I'm not doing the whole Twilight phenomenon justice by only watching the movies, but I just can't bring myself to read the books when everything about them is screaming to me "You will not like this!". I know A LOT of other people love these books, but I really don't think I will. I'll just have to continue living in my delusion ;)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-23120776029751782442010-07-20T18:33:12.994+02:002010-07-20T18:33:12.994+02:00Yvonne - thank you :)

I realize that the movies are grossly different from the books (but I just cna't bring myself to read them - I'm just not a vampire kind of girl, you know?)<br />As for the accent - you would know better than me, of course, but there were a couple of places were I really cringed. Probably mostly because I expected to hear his British roots through the American accent, but still... *cringes*<br /><br />cassandrajade - exactly! And a really OLD stalker (okay, the old part is relative, but still). Stalker!<br /><br />Mark - I hope I didn't unintentionally plagiarize your letter... Though I didn't mention pectorals at all... (I am more than a little intrigued that you did in yours, though. Is this something I have read a long time ago and just forgotten, or is this something I didn't read at all?)<br /><br />Nicole - uhm, ah, okay... You know, the normal thing to do if you really loved me would be to fly into my bedroom at night and watch me sleep. On second thoughts, that would be more than a little weird... (love you too!) I hear you on the icicle in bed thing. Brrrr!<br /><br />Powdered Toast Man - have I deceived you? This would belong under the "digression" part of this blog... Now that you mention it, though, I wonder if there are vampire giraffes..?<br /><br />Summer - isn't he legal by now? Besides, completely different rules apply to werewolves... ;)<br /><br />Rosie - I'm thinking that a lot of my issues with the Edward/Bella relationship and Edward in general indeed would have been different had I actually read the books. But it's a lot more fun this way ;)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-31989525338376223972010-07-20T17:52:09.228+02:002010-07-20T17:52:09.228+02:00LOL! :D good stuff, CC~

Haha! Love it!<br /><br />If the first movie could have made anyone excited for him/them, then they had no taste in film already. I love Edward (not in the creepy-I'm-old-enough-to-be-your-mother-and-your-granddaughter way, but in the minor-swoon-from-afar way), and did before the movies. And I love Rob Pattinson, and I have since at least HP. I do prefer the native isle accent, though.<br /><br />I have to agree with Summer, though, on Jacob. Whiny puppy in the books turned pantable jailbait. I've never in my life wishes so hard to be 17 again! :)RosieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911305246379355484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-63662704845561185562010-07-20T15:43:52.520+02:002010-07-20T15:43:52.520+02:00Ha, I'm with you!
