Last night I watched Twilight.
Some of you were telling me at MJ that I needed to see this flick, preferably with much wine.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kristiinthedark, drlense, was that you guys? Telling me it was terrible but awesome at the same time, and surprisingly hilarious?
Um, yeah. Whoever told me that was dead on. (About the wine, too. Yes indeedy.) My husband watched it with me, and at several points we were just hooting with laughter. At other times we were weirdly mesmerized. It was not a *good* film, not by any stretch of the imagination, but an awful lot of technical skill went into making this incredibly cheesy movie. And an *awful* lot of marketing expertise. Because, wow, it was like watching a $40-million id-stroker for 12-year-old girls.
And clearly, the 12-year-old girl I once was is still there inside me, and gosh but her id was stroked by this. I even want to read the books now. (Which, yes, I am ashamed to admit. Ashamed enough that I probably won't shell out money to buy new copies of the books, even though I want them NOW; instead I'll wait until I find them in a used-book bin somewhere or other. With so many copies in circulation, surely some will turn up at library sales and the like.)
I also (while ducking my head in shame) want fic. Is there crossover fic with the Buffyverse? C'mon, there HAS to be. ( Gosh, maybe I should cut for spoilers. )
