PostTue Mar 31, 2009 11:20 pm    Twilight 2 : New Moon

http://www.beyondhollywood.com/summit-officially-announces-twilight-2-new-moon/

Just saw this online and I think it indeed is true and confirmed, cuz during the Kids Choice Awards, Taylor Lautner accepted an award on behalf of the Twilight book series and during his little speech he announced they were filming and that it would be in theaters this November! I actually thought the first movie was pretty cool and hope this one will be even better...now if only I could get a hold of the book series to see how that compares (as books are usually better cuz they have the full story, not a Hollywood shortened script )

Target currently has them (hardcover) the cheapest. If you don't mind paperback (which is shortened), then they're about $6-$7. Oooooor, www.amazon.com has the hardcover collectors set for about $45. That includes all four books currently released in hardcover in some sort of display box with photos & quotes. I did a little price research before purchasing the ones I was missing, Walmart is very close to Target's prices, but I'd stay away from Borders if you have one locally. The above mentioned collectors set was $80+ there.

Aaaaand, I'll probably see this movie at the theater as well. One of my co-workers (who introduced me to Twilight) is completely rabid about the series, and one of my 'cousins' loves it as well, and I took her to see the first one, so may as well start a tradition, no? (though I think we'll skip Chili's afterward, ) [yeah, vic is here, so I'm chatty, ]

My wife loved the movie.

Me? It was ok. It was one of those movies that I somewhat enjoyed, but could have gone without seeing. It does not do the book justice. (but they never do, do they?)

Yeah, I enjoyed the books so much that I had mixed feelings when I heard there was to be a movie. Fortunately though they kept fairly true to the books, though naturally they had to speed some things up.
There is one series of books that if they ever attempted to make into a movie, mini-series, whatever, I would weep. Some things are better just left alone.
Though again, fortunately Twilight turned out to be ok, and not ruined like they did with the Bourne series.
