But I'm not sort of not looking forward to seeing the moving because I know it won't be the same. Quandry. Just like Harry Potter.

I love me some vampires too. Sunnydale High is very much missed. Killa told me I have to read Twilight and I have no choice. I guess I'm in. :) I wish I had HBO but I’m a marathon watcher so I’m going to get it on DVD.

That sounded pretty accurate to me. With Anne Rice, everyone pretty much had to imagine the story because it took so long to make any movies (Tom Cruise as Lestat? fail) but Twilight is getting a pretty fast turnaround. A lot of people were so nervous about the gay threads running throughout that it overwhelmed the Gothic richness of the stories. But I still love them. I just got the 1st two books as a present this week, so I'll read them and see. I'm a little jaded about Vamps after Anne Rice, L.A. Banks and my favorite Undead and UnWed series(I do love the snark and the shoes). Best of all was this week's SouthPark episode in which the true Goth kids were really pissed off by all of the preppy, popular kids suddenly turning into pseudo Vamp kids courtesy of this movie and Hot Topic. I had to agree. I read an earlier Slate review that said you would need to see it with a theater full of teen age girls just to get the giddy, hormonal, unrequited feel for it.

It's going to have to be a rental unless I take the niece to it. That’s what I was kind of thinking. It’s going to have to be a rental unless I take the niece to it.

The trailers for it scream "made for television" even though I think the Sci-Fi channel could have done a better job. You can have my ticket to see it tonight with two 12-y-o’s.
