So following my plea to you all here, the votes are in, and (excluding Silvery Dude’s own not-counted-cos-it’s-his-fault-anyway comment) the results are 3 for, 1 against and 1 don’t know.
I am nothing if not a woman of my word and so I will give in and watch the thing……
I’ve set myself some conditions for viewing which are:
I will watch the movie before the end of October 2009;
I will not prejudge the outcome but will keep an open mind;
I will review the film fairly and honestly on Bride of the Screen God.
However, some decent chocolate and alcohol of a suitable nature must be available to sustain me during my ordeal (describing it as such kind of undermines the not-prejudging thing, but hey, that’s me, underminer-girl)
I actually have a copy of the DVD in my possession as I could see how this was going; the pouty teen angst cover is depressing me already, hence Mr Pattinson’s mug at the top of this post.
And lord help us, the sequel is out in November……

Well, you probably won’t LOVE it (I didn’t) but it’s worth a viewing. I liked the book better. The movie will probably be enhanced by chocolate and alcohol!

Also, if you haven’t read the book (which I don’t think you have?), the movie will probably seem incredibly silly. Not that the book wasn’t. It’s one of those things: silly, but somehow okay even though it’s silly. But I thought the movie was much sillier, because, oh, let’s say there might be a bit of overacting involved.

Hi Dpahne – I definitely think I need to make this an event thing so that I get the most out of the experience. And I might enjoy it. Especially if there’s overacting…..

Hm…I now feel guilty for recommending you watch it. Because it is really, really silly. Watch for the scene in the forest where Edward starts slinging trees around – that is my absolute favorite. I am getting tears in my eyes just thinking of how silly that scene is. Oh mercy.

Jenny, don’t feel guilty, I’m beginning to look forward to it now that I’ve decided to make an event out of the whole thing. And I will definitely look out for the tree-slinging – sounds totally absurd!
