Wanna know a secret?
I think I have a disease. That is not the secret, that is merely my excuse for the secret. So here goes: I have officially seen the Twilight movie four times. With my husband, with different friends. Four times. It is pretty sad. To borrow a line from Timm, here’s what I know: Twilight was not a very good movie. The book was not even that fantastic. It was written for 13 year old girls. The movie….even worse than the book. It was hilariously awkward (probably on purpose), and rushed. So why, why, why, WHY have I seen this movie four times?
Here is the simple awnser…hot boys. Annnnnnnnd….I have just lost all of my male readers.
Yeah. Have you seen the commercials? The movie posters? If you have, you know exactly what I mean. This movie is full of attractive young men (all of them that I appreciate are over the age of 18, I swear!) and some attractive regular men, and I firmly believe that this is the reason why ladies, myself included, have spent 150 million seeing this movie. Remember Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Yeah. He has grown up a bit. And gotten hot. You should probably see this movie, so you can agree with me.
Does this make me a terrible person? The fact that I go see a movie, just because the actors are attractive? I mean, it’s not like I neglect my husband to watch this movie. I don’t sit there and compare him to a heavily make up clad actor. It’s not like I would leave him for a chance to marry a fictional character in a terrible movie (like SOME people I know). See, somebody at work told me they would pray for my lustful attitude and that my marriage would somehow be saved. Seriously?
Is appreciating a guy’s hotness the same as lusting after him? I hope not. Meantime…at least rent it on DVD.

Hey, what are you doing Saturday? Wanta go see it again??? I took 14 teenagers to see this movie on the opening night. I. LOVED. THIS. MOVIE. I had 2 other adult ladies with me. THEY. LOVED. THIS. MOVIE. The only conclusion I could come to is there were some very attractive men in this movie– actually everyone was attractive… I kept thinking to myself, “They didn’t make boys like that when I was in high school.” So, I dont think your marriage is in trouble— unless you have further issues and since I am not a counselor, I cant advise you… It is no different from when Magnum PI (are you old enough to remember that show- it was in the early 80’s) was on tv and all the ladies thought he was hot too… So, just one question for you— have you purchased the life sized Edward cardboard cut out at Hot Topic yet? I cant wait for this movie to be on dvd!!! So ya, pretty much I think I suffer from the same disease!!!!

Edward’s mine. Back off, WOMAN! I am obsessed. I’ve seen the movie thrice… AND I watched a bootleg version online(it more closely resembled Blair Witch than Twilight). Also, I went running the other day and put myself in danger so that he’d come rescue me. He didn’t… but I know he had a good excuse.

As long as I can have Jaskson Rathbone (our lovely Civil War hero, Jasper Hale), then I, too, shall pray for the salvation of your marriage. Oh, Emily.
At least I’ve seen the movie three times for the same reasons you have seen it four times. We’re not crazed fangirls, just appreciative young women who aesthetically appreciate beauty when we see it.
So there.
