Obligatory review.

Twilight has been mine for a long time. I spent quite a long time defending myself over this book.

"Hey Sarah, what are you reading now?"

"Twilight!"

"Oh yeah? Never heard of it. What's it about?"

"Umm, well. It's about this girl who falls in love with a vampire. And like, how it's pretty complicated."

"... Why are you so gay?"


But then I woke up one day and people were all like "omg, have you ever heard of Twilight?!" and I have to be all "omg, you just judged me like ten seconds ago" and then they go all "omg, no! I don't remember that!"

So now it's cool to like Twilight. Whatever.

The movie. I always thought this would make a good movie. Except it would have to be a Pride and Prejudice mini-series sort of thing. Two hours doesn't really do the book justice.

The characters? Exceptionally well chosen in my opinion. Rob Pattinson = sex. So that's always great. PEA COATS AND HAIR OF ANGELS AND COLLAR LOVE, WOW. Stylists, give yourself a nice big pat on the back.

Kristen Stewart is cool. The voice? EEEEEEEEEEh. The look? Very Bella.

Jacob, um, YUM. Man this cast was hot hot hot. Seriously, see the movie for just like a major actor-boner. Yeah, I just said that.

Soundtrack? PERFECT. I was worried they wouldn't put a Muse song on it.

One complaint would be that the whole movie was super desaturated. It was very bland looking. But they were totally going for that so everyone would look all emo and pale. Whatevs.

Did I mention Rob Pattinson is sex?
