I hopped on the Twilight bandwagon pretty early. I didn't pick it up because I heard it was good, the plot intrigued me so I decided to read it (actually I listened to the first three. Ilyana Kadushin, the narrator, isn't the greatest but she's not bad. She has an interesting voice and tries to distinguish between the characters). Then the crazy teen fervor thing happened. And you know, I'm not much for following the crowds, but I think the popularity has actually created more of an appeal for me. Seeing the actors grace the covers of all the rags that I see when I'm checking out at the grocery store stirred my desire to see the movie. And I'm gonna see the movie. Except, from the pictures I've seen of the actors, Rosalie doesn't quite live up to the person I was picturing in my mind. Actually, none of the other vampires do either. Their puffy coats and ultra coiffed hair don't scream "seasoned vampire" to me. Let's just hope their acting makes up for it. Are you going to see the movie? Have you already? Tell me what you thought! And please agree that Jasper needs to get a haircut.

Hi Amanda!
ReplyDeleteI also listened to the first three on audio but I really liked the narrator. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm not sure I want to because the actors look nothing like what I imagined. Keep up the good work!
Hi Kathy!
ReplyDeleteI didn't mind the narrator, but I've heard better. I actually saw Twilight last week, and they made Jasper's hair better, it's curlier in the movie and yet more tame. Although I still don't agree with Rosalie being blonde. Maybe they didn't want her to compete with Bella? I think it's worth seeing, they did a good job of following the story. Take care!
