<p>Ha. I know SOME of you must be going!</p>
<p>I haven’t read any of the books yet. Saw Twilight once at home. My 12 year old has been counting down for 3 months…and we are celebrating my 21 year old D’s b-day tonight and will be surprising her with tickets for us all (the girls anyway 
) to see it later tonight.</p>
<p>So fess up…
Who’s going to be watching this weekend???</p>
<p>my daughter (soph in college) went to the midnight showing last night up at her school; haven’t heard from her yet this morning…(still sleeping…)</p>
<p>heard on the news that the first viewers liked this one better than Twilight…</p>
<p>Our paper gave it 3 out of 5 stars. But I certainly don’t always agree with the critics…</p>
<p>My daughter has devoured the books. She’s 10 and dyslexic, so that’s really saying something. I’m sure we’ll be in the movie theater quite soon.</p>
<p>I enjoyed the first movie. I found it wholesomely scary in a juvenile and old-fashioned kind of way (i.e., just barely), and I see why the benign romance appeals to girls. 1.5 thumbs up. :)</p>
<p>I have to confess – I just don’t get it. I saw the first movie and thought it was average at best. The story was boring and I failed to see why so many young girls thought the lead male character was attractive. I guess I’ll watch the second movie when it comes out on DVD.</p>
<p>Loved the first movie with D2. We are leaving tonight on a trip (a place with no movie theater), but I am sure we will be seeing it as soon as we are back.</p>
<p>Seeing it tonight! I am pretty sure that both my college girls already have seen it.</p>
<p>DS railed against the first book saying it “stole five minutes of his life” before he put it down. One of his friends posted on her facebook that she was going last night and got 40 POSTS dissing her for doing so! Sheesh! I really should see what it’s all about.</p>
<p>I liked the first movie - was I dying to read the book or see the next movie, not exactly. But intrigued. Most of all, I think I enjoy seeing my daughters get so excited and swooning over the actors. :)</p>
<p>update: daughter said it was “really good”…and she really didn’t like the first one…</p>
<p>Well, I’m not a Meyer fan in the least. I have a lot of problems with her writing style (being a dedicated writer myself).</p>
<p>But my friends are real twitards, so they’re dragging me along for the movie. </p>
<p>On the other hand, I don’t mind the movies so much. I’m pretty indifferent when it comes to most movies. </p>
<p>I like some action, some fantasy, and I’m pretty lenient with how I feel about them, even if they’re adaptations from books I don’t like.</p>
<p>So…-shrug- we’ll see. </p>
<p>I only ever recall seeing one movie that I actually said “Wow, that was awful” at the end, and it wasn’t Twilight. </p>
<p>I’m sure it’ll be okay.</p>
<p>I’m going, against my will like last time.
Last time I went, I can’t stop laughing at Edward’s thick make up</p>
<p>No interest in the books or movies. But I think my D (18) might be going.</p>
<p>Both of my kids read the first book and hated it; neither has seen the movie. My wife and I saw the first movie on DVD, and she was apoplectic – thought it was the worst set of messages to girls she had ever seen in a movie. I just thought it was dumb and silly.</p>
<p>We aren’t making plans to see New Moon.</p>
<p>As for spoilers – how can there be any spoilers about this series? I’m not interested, my kids aren’t interested, and I’m pretty sure I know the entire story just from living in this society.</p>
<p>Oldest DD is going with friends this weekend. One of the friends will have seen it more than once by that time as she is obsessed. Younger DD said she will probably see it during the Thanksgiving break. </p>
<p>I read the first two books but was so bored by the third one I didn’t even finish it. I thought the first movie was terrible, but I’m sure once New Moon is out on DVD I will watch it.</p>
<p>The kids (girls) I know who are obsessed by this are in middle school. The high schoolers and college kids turn their noses up at it (for which I can’t blame them). But a sixth grader down the block from me essentially has her room decorated in Twilightiana.</p>
<p>My HS sophomore daughter is seeing it in an hour with a bunch of friends. She’s mostly going because they are going. </p>
<p>Yesterday I checked out the “Twilight” DVD from the library. I confess I haven’t read any of the books. After JHS’s post, perhaps I’ll even skip the movie. No sense in apoplexy when there are so many other wonderful films to view :)</p>
<p>For me, not every movie I see (or my kids see) needs to have a great message. Sometimes it’s just about being entertained, whether the movie is realistic or not. </p>
<p>Sometimes it’s fun to be part of Pop Culture. :)</p>
<p>Heard from CNN “preteens, teens, and **cougars **would be going to twilight with their confused significant other.”</p>
<p>I suddenly hate CNN.</p>
<p>Cougars???
