When Twilight Becomes Eclectic
I Don't Like Vampire Movies
Never Have, and Most Likely,
Never Will
I say this as groggy teens lie scattered
around various movie theater lots.
They are waiting to watch a
Phenomenon of Our Time:
The Latest Installment of the 'Twilight Saga'.
For A sneak at the "Eclipse"
(the newest movie) Cheat Sheet,
This reminds us that the Fang is more memorable than:
"Here's looking at you Kid..."
It has somehow become the New Star Wars:
In the various articles I've read,
I rarely see a mention of the writer.
That would be Stephenie Meyer.
Her official website, of course, is here:
With the Fancy Dark Forest Greenery in the Header.
I hope I don't come off like Rex Reed,
who made a name for himself
by bashing the popularity of
The Beatles.
That is not my intent.
I like books, and anything that gets people
reading, like the Harry Potter series or
even this new "blood-sucking" fiction,
I Think is Good.
I do remember Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire (1976).
Which was also made into a movie starring
Brad Pitt, Christian Slater and Tom Cruise.
This time out Vampire movies have reach
Critical Mass.
===============
In the interest of Full Disclosure:
I accidently picked up Justin Cronin's "The Passage",
because of Stephen King's recommend.
I didn't know it was a Vampire Book.
I am an eclectic picker of books and did so
with this selection from Audible.
It's over 766 pages.
It's the First of a 3 Book Series.
And the rights for Publishing started a bidding war between publishers ended with Ballantine Books buying the rights for $3.75 million. .
It appears there is still a lot of
Green Blood in these Veins.
Oh, and I am enjoying the Story.
