Well, I hope it was good. I have to say that I do not get this movie/book craze. Even though I haven't read/seen HP, I know that I will someday and will more than likely love it. But I'm just not sure about this. Was the movie as good as you hoped?
jealous! (I'll probably see it on Wed)
Photo, I didn't think it was as good as the HP series, but they're very different and I think it's hard to compare them except for the "craze" they're creating (well, they're also both fiction/"fantasy";). The craze for the 'Twilight' books is mostly generated by teens though (mostly -- not entirely;), whereas I think HP had a bigger audience. I did really like the first 'Twilight' book though (the one this movie is portraying), more so than the others. As with most things, I think it's better if you experience them before they're such a big deal so you don't have unrealistic expectations. But the books are good (especially the 1st;), and they're unique (I think;), and it's fun to get excited and a little obsessive about things, imo. :) And in fact, you could say HP had something to do with this. It made it [more] popular [for teens] to read! Or at least to read what everyone else is reading. ;) I remember at the last HP book release when we were waiting in line and the first few people got their books and were cheering and running out the door, Republic of Gabriella commented how great it was that they were "going home to read!" on a Friday night. :D Maybe there will be more series like this to come. :)
ooh, sorry, that was longer than I thought!
i do think it's fun to see books bringing people together.
some of the appeal then, i think lies in that, some in teen girl mania, some in the fact that it's a good book (the second is fine, haven't read the last two), and some in the fact that, despite what hobbitsister says, chicks dig vampires.
i think the appeal of vampires lies mostly in the fact that girls want to be desired passionately, but also in that vampires are bad boys. and then there's that whole necking thing.
and chelley - come see it here! i want to go again!
you come here!
I love that kids are reading, too! And books bringing people together is great. (Oh, and in response to your later post, YES, one should always read the book first!)
Yeah, bad boys. There is that.
i never would've liked lotr if i hadn't seen the movies first
really? i don't think i knew that (at least didn't remember it;)
i hated the hobbit so much that i didn't want anything more to do with tolkien. then hobbitsister called and begged me to go with her to share her misery at the first movie because it was enrique's turn to choose their movie and she really didn't want to go. i didn't want to, but i'm a good sister, and i figured if i was going to see it, it was a big-screen movie, so i may as well go. surprisingly, i liked it, though was annoyed that i then had to go see the 2nd one because it just ended (w/o an ending). i then went to the 2nd, and thought, hey, this isn't bad, and decided to read the books. but i knew i couldn't just check them out at the library becuase it would take me longer than 3 weeks to get through them cuz the hobbit was so bad. then i found the 3 lotr books and the hobbit at a garage sale for $1, so i bought them. and devoured the 1st one in 3 days.
and that's how i fell in love.
wow, i didn't realize your love for tolkien was so new! (& that you used to really not like him! -- his work, i mean:)
