For the Twilight Fans...

Okay, I'm not going to lie...I'm more than a little bitter about the guy who plays Edward. I like that he looks 17, something I have a hard time picturing when reading the books, but unlike the portrayal of Edward in the books, this friend is not devastatingly handsome. He's a little "rough around the edges" which Edward in the books is most certainly not. I'm hoping he grows on me, but some actors just "click" with the characters (i.e. Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy) and I'm not sure he will. Sigh.

6 smart remarks:

Hey Peggy, I found you through the Feed. I hope you don't mind.

I have to say, although Edward is not quite what I pictured, I think he'll fit the mold. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I thought the preview looked pretty good. i was a little disappointed in the books, so I look forward to the movie. This might be the only movie I enjoy more than the book.

Amanda--I have mixed emotions about you finding me through the Feed. Glad because yippee! New friend! Sad because you wasted your time reading my blog and I feel responsible for that. I should put some sort of disclaimer on this puppy--I cannot give you the 5 minutes of your life back that you waste reading the kind of nonsense that comes out of my brain through my fingertips. My sincerest apologies. ;)

Whatever, Peg. You're never a waste of time. Puh-leeze! I love your blog, you make me laugh all the freakin time, and I love it! ...So much so, that you (and two of the blogs on your contact list) made the very very short list of blogs that I'll reference on my own. If people are not funny, they don't get linked from me. Or, uh... if they aren't really really good looking - like Chachi - which is why Eric's there. (Kidding. It was a professional courtesy to link him, but he is cute, so points to him for that.) Anyhoo, you're funny. Your blog is funny. And it makes me happy that Amanda's figured that out, too. Geez, I love The Feed!

As for Twilight... I'm okay with Edward. I'm not the hugest Edward fan that ever lived though. Give me Jacob any day, seriously. (Didn't love the books. A little too teeny for me, but... there was something about Jacob that got my motor running. I don't know what it was.) I'm curious to see who they cast. Do you have any idea? I could google it myself, I suppose...

OK. I shall be the voice of dissent...well, not really....but I think that guy they've got playing Edward is creepy looking!

But having said that....the movie doesn't look half bad. May it be more entertaining than the book.

"I love you more."
"Noooo, I love you more."
"No, I love you the most."
"I love YOU the most."

Arrrgh.

Truth be told, I am tring to avoid all pictures of the cast. I did get a quick glimpse of Edward from the website and I immediately shut down the internet. He wasn't what I pictured and I didn't like what I saw. This is one movie I think I'd rather not compare to the book. I don't plan on seeing it.

Sorry, I'm stalking you through the feed too...

I can't wait to see the movie, but yes, I don't think he looks like Edward either. But thanks for posting the clip!!
