Twilight!!

Heh, heh. Just kidding. I didn't even read the books, let alone stand in line for a midnight showing of the movie. I do intend to see the movie at some point, but don't intend to read the books. It's hard to find a good movie adaptation from a book. Either they change the story so much that the book and movie barely resemble each other or they cut so much that I'm left unsatisfied. So either I read the book or see the movie.

I've heard mixed reviews about Twilight though. Some hated it, some loved it and that made me curious. If you've seen Twilight already, what did you think??

BTW, I saw the new James Bond and really liked it. But I'm a sucker for blue eyes and accents. And guns...and fast cars...nice.And I think Judy Dench does a really great M. So the other question I pose is this: Who is your favorite James Bond?? We have Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig. (There was one film with George Lazenby as James Bond but since I'd never heard of him before, I figured you hadn't either.) I've always been a Sean Connery sucker but Daniel Craig is really climbing the charts for me as the best Bond.

I liked the movie, but if there is ever the slightest chance of you reading the book, definitely see the movie first. I thought some parts were a little confusing because they had to rearrange some things and change some things. But, the girl I talked to who had never read the book loved the movie. At least you won't have any preconceived ideas of what these people are supposed to look like. :)

Never Peirce Brosnan...but I have to say that Daniel Craig gets my vote! Although Sean Connery is fairly attractive as well! Oh...were you talking about the acting?? Hee hee.

I haven't seen the movie or read to books yet. I'm still on the fence about doing both. School has trumped almost all of my social reading lately, but I have about 20 books in my book shelf that have to be read before I get to twilight. The bond question is a good one. I've never been a bond conosour, but I always thought Brosnan would always be my favorite, but Craig has a calm mystery about him that makes him a new favorite.
