A Statement About the Actual Twilight Movie

Not too much to say, except that it was more or less as expected (see previous post).

That said, we need to take a moment to discuss Edward, aka Robert Pattinson.  After reading a few interviews he seemed a bit pretentious and overrated, but I have to confess, he was the most pleasent surprise in the film.

I don't know about his future acting prospects, but he embodied our anti-hero quite perfectly; gorgeous, dark, and intense.  Some have called his acting wooden, but I have a feeling that was done on purpose...

It's a good thing he was there, quite frankly.  Because as in the books, the centerpiece of the film was the relationship between Bella and Edward, and as in the books, Edward was the centerpiece of the relationship.

Now I promise, no more Twilight.  On to something with substance.
