In general, I was okay with the Twilight movie. I liked how it was edgy and looked liked a rock music video. Kristen Stewart looks like the Bella I had in my head. I didn't think Rob Pattinson was anywhere near the Edward in my head though and therefore never did him justice, but Rob was a good partner for Kristen in terms of their chemistry. I was okay with the added field trip scene. My main grudge though was that everything happened too fast. If the audience had never read the book, they wouldn't have been able to fully grasp just how powerful everything that was happening actually was. I've heard though that those who didn't read the book liked the movie, so who knows. Even with everything in the movie being too short and moving too fast, the movie still brought back my love and wonder for the book.
I'm surprised just how enduring the pull of the story is for me. I just watched
the deleted Edward's bedroom surprise scene and was pulled back into that world of darkness and love and temptation and...addiction. It is an addiction for me. I can focus on other things to take my mind off it for a while - a few months at best. But once I get one whiff of it, the addiction takes hold again. Like all addictions it causes some semblance of pain, but it's a pain that you hope never ends.

Don't want to be sucked into that again for a while Affie, to be honest.
Hi Vicki. I do. :) I love that feeling.
i just bought the dvd, which was recently released here. i tried my best not to get the double disc... it worked. i'm so proud of myself. i'm sure i'll be satisfied with just one disc worth of deleted scenes. hehehe.
I'm playing with the idea of getting it too, but I don't know if
I'll ever watch it again. It might just annoy me. On the other hand, it's a great reminder of the book!
