Twilight


1. Yes, I've seen the movie. Under the auspices of "screening" it for my teenage daughter, I joined several of my 40-something girlfriends and braved the hormone-filled crowd at the Loews cinema last night...

2. I expect that this movie will reach cult status by 2010, with midnight showings every Saturday night, replete with Rocky-Horror-esque audience participation. Campy. Hilarious. Terrible.

3. Yes, I've read the book. The first one, that is. I'll get to the second one soon... hopefully before the next film in the onslaught hits the big screen.

4. It takes all of my post-feminist resolve not to hurl the book at the nearest teenager when I read about a 17 year old girl who is celebrated for turning her identity over to some guy she barely knows.

Especially since he's not even that hot.

Sorry, I haven't had time to see this movie. I'm too busy getting my post-feminist fix by listening to the new Ludacris w/T Pain album that dropped today yo! It's tight! The lyrics! The lyrics are like poetry. Take a look at this sample:

Woke up the next mornin' and all I can remember,
Was takin' shots and tippin' the bartender,
Surrender to the woman, end up bringing me home,
Cause' she started lookin' better, every shot of Patron, (YEP!!)
I jumped up wit a devilish grin,
Cause' tonight, DAMN RIGHT! I MIGHT DO IT AGAIN!!
