Are you afraid? Because I am very, very afraid. What is it about Twilight that makes me regress to the maturity level of a tween? (It didn’t take much regression to get me there, but still.) I followed a link to some Twilight-related Youtube video the other day and it began with “Brought to you by Seventeen magazine” and I was filled with shame. But not so filled with shame that I stopped watching.
So clearly I’ve been suffering from a relapse of my Twilight obsession ever since I saw the movie last weekend. I don’t know what to say about the movie itself; I have read so many reviews that at this point, I can’t differentiate between what I actually thought when I saw it and what I read somewhere. Among all the Twilight movie-related articles and reviews, it should come as no surprise that my favorite was Cleolinda’s Twilight in Fifteen Minutes. I also really enjoyed “The Twilight Zone” by James Wolcott in Vanity Fair.

Cleolinda is the best. I wish she would recap all movies for me.
I was in the bookstore standing in line behind these “omg-we-are-12-but-we-think-we-look-18-in-our-uggs-and-our-mini-skirts” tweens and they were talking about how hot Edward was in the movie. And, at this point, I hadn’t seen the movie yet so I was still oblivious to the sexiness that was Edward saving Bella from the bad guys. Then they got into an old school (sooooo 2 books ago…) discussion of Team Edward vs. Team Jacob and I really wanted to interject. Why the hell would you be on Team Jacob? That’s a load of crap. Then I had that same feeling you got when you saw Seventeen magazine and I thought against it…but I still listened. Seriously, Team Jacob?
