Twilight

Wow, went to the midnight showing of Twilight (thanks to sweet sister Summer) and I loved it! It was fascinating to see how many people were there and as in love with the book as I was. :) They had every theater showing the movie, plus they had another showing at 2:30! In our theater there were only three men and a very fun crowd of hyper horny women of all ages. You would have thought we were about to see men strip on stage the way they were acting.

The movie stayed true to the book and I really loved the actors they used. Edward was not exactly right, but part of the magic of the book was building him in your own mind as your own dream man. To their credit he was pretty damn close to my fantasies!

This author, Stephanie Meyer has a brilliant way of building an amazing amount of sexual tension without sex and my guess is that a lot of men last night were raped as their women got home from the movies! LOL... K, but seriously the energy there was palpable! Afterwards, standing around with the gals we went with, one of them said, "I'm going home and asking my husband to stick his hands in the freezer before he touches me!". We all had a good laugh and if you have no clue what I'm talking about, you better go see the movie! :)

As a final thought, I was very impressed with the fact that in our day of the "modern independent woman", we are still attracted to the protective side of a man. Guys, you should see this movie too, even if just to see what makes us tick!

It appears to be the Harry Potter of the bodice ripping novella variety. I haven't had the pleasure of reading the book, so I couldn't say for myself. I do enjoy your energy describing it however.
