OK so I'm sure all the Twilight series fans know that there is a movie opening December 12, 2008! Well here is the trailer.

Is anyone else as excited as I am?

EDIT:Ok I was a little excited when I posted this. So here's what the book is about.

Isabella Swan, more commonly known as Bella, moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie, so that her mother, Renée, can travel with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, a "strictly minor league" baseball player. Even though she never had many friends in Phoenix, Bella quickly discovers she is the new subject of curiosity at her new school in Forks, where she is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys in the school compete for shy Bella's attention.

While sitting next to Edward Cullen on her first day of school, he glares angrily at her and displays extreme tension. This leads Bella to believe that he dislikes her. However, his attitude towards her soon begins to change. He displays supernatural abilities while saving Bella from being hit by an out-of-control van about to crush her into another car. After seeing a dent on the side of the van in the shape of Edward's shoulder, she realizes the van hit him and that he seemed to be holding it away from her, keeping her safe. Bella confronts him afterwards about the strangeness of the situation, but he refuses to talk to her about it. As time passes, Bella and Edward are repeatedly drawn to one another, even though Edward desperately tries to stay away in order to keep her out of the danger that he will likely put her in.

Bella eventually learns from her friend Jacob Black of the Quileute (pronounced Quil-yoot) tribe and her own observations that Edward and his family are "vegetarian" vampires who drink animal blood rather than human blood. Despite this, Edward and Bella fall deeply in love. Their foremost problem is Bella's "alluring scent", which makes it difficult for Edward to restrain himself from killing her. However, despite this and Bella's strange knack for constantly landing herself in dangerous situations, they manage to stay together safely for a time.

The seemingly blissful state of affairs is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks and James, a tracker, sets his sights on Bella. Under the assumption that James has kidnapped her mother, Bella is lured to her former dance studio, where James attacks her. Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescues Bella before James can kill her.

The book ends with the two going to Bella's prom. Beneath the surface, tension remains as Bella wishes for Edward to turn her into a vampire and Edward refuses to do so. The reason for Edward's adamant decision not to turn Bella into a vampire is not yet revealed.

Agreed. Vampires aren't some sort of trend, exactly. Kids and media can make it seem that way, I suppose, but it's all about personal taste.

One of my friends said that they were reading the book and the first person they thought of was me. I've been told many times that I remind people of a vampire...Lol...

The books are good so far...I applaud the plot twists and the writing style. This is probably the first series I've read in the first person p.o.v. that i actually like.

I was looking forward to the movie but i lost all hope in Hollywood last Saturday...so now i hold no expectations for this movie. Ten days will tell....

Anyway, the books rank above Rowling's shit but are no where near exceeding my favorite authors Goodkind and Bishop.

Heh, I can't say I mind it, though...I like it

A fellow vampire, eh? Have you converted Bob yet?

In any case, I have no doubt that the books are great, as Archy thoroughly enjoyed them, but the both of us, at the sight of the previews, sighed a collective "yuck...". So I don't think we'll be, well, paying money at least, to go see that movie.
