Attention “Twilight”ers!
I just received an e-mail informing me about something very exciting…ready? Twilight will be out on video March 21st!!!! Yes, I signed up to have an e-mail sent to me when the release date was known and I am willing to take on all criticism for doing so.
When it comes to Twilight, I say “don’t knock it until you try it”. I understand not everyone will or does like it ( I wasn’t a fan of Harry Potter, and I know I am in the minority there) and I will be the first to say the movie is not nearly as good as the book. The story line stays relatively true to the book, but the special effects are pretty cheesy. When I first heard about the premise “a vampire and a human girl fall in love and there are 4 books based on that” it didn’t sound like my kind of thing. But there is so much more to it than that and a little over a week later I was done with all 4 books and sad because I wanted to know what in the heck Edward and Bella were up to now! Some girls in my class all bonded over these books too and we often try very hard to find some way to relate occupational therapy to Twilight to make class more interesting. And I know a guy who read the first book and really liked the movie. I am not going to say who because he would not be happy if I were to disclose his name…I will just call him C. Borgman. No, that’s too obvious, I will call him Chris B. Point being, do not make fun of us Twilighters…after you read the books you will be hoping for a convention too! Okay, that might be a stretch.
