I am slightly ashamed, slightly ecstatic to admit that I, PJ Clapp, have now become addicted to the Twilight book saga. I have nearly finished the 2nd, and already ordered the third online from amazon today....... part of me thinks it's terrible that i have got caught up in Twilight hysteria, part of me loves the fact there's something to read to soothe the pain now that Harry Potter has gone forever.
While i have become addicted to Twilight series of books, i am quite proud to delcare that i have not yet seen the movie, and don't intend to. On a flight back from Australia earlier this year, i started watching it about 19 hours into my flight, and promptly fell asleep within 11 minutes of watching it, only to awake with the credits rolling down the screen. There has only been one other occasion i can recall when i have been able to successfully sleep on a plane, and that was after about 7 minutes of watching 'Moulin Rouge' again, i awoke only a couple of hours later to the credits on the screen. So i guess you can say that i don't much care for the movie 'Twilight', then again, now that i've read the book and know what's going, i might understand what the hell is happening this time.
Speaking of the movie Twilight, I was fortunate enough to be given the DVD of 'How to be' directed by Oliver Irving, which stars Robert Pattinson. Now while i'm a Twilight fan, i'm not in the category of 'Robert Pattinson' fan, and from what i can understand, i must be the only one out there who DOESN'T find this guy amazingly attractive, and when i saw him as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter, i kinda wanted to punch him... i'm not sure what it was about him, but i felt rather hostile toward him. This was all before i had watched 'How to be' of course. This movie has totally changed the way i see him, and while i'm still not going to call myself a hardcore fan, I do now appreciate him as a good actor, and would love to see him in more comedy roles from now on, as opposed to the pale-faced, dark and serious movies.
I urge everyone to get a copy of 'How to be' Definitely one of the best and funniest movies i've seen this year.
Peace and Vampires,
