Eddy and Timmy.
I picked up Twilight the other week, and actually watched it. A quick review is that it's very nicely made, and the subtext on abstinence is a welcome change in this day and age, even if the relationship is between a vampire and a mortal.
Not sure if that's a spoiler or not, considering that damned near every teenage girl this side of the black stump has either seen it or is reading the book before seeing it.
I did actually start the book, but it got in the way of more important things, like.... vacuuming.
Seriously, though, I will sit down to read it - I just don't read a lot of fiction in my declining years.
I have one issue, though.
Cinematography: wonderful.
Soundtrack and score: Wonderful.
Acting: good.
Casting: Very good.
Script: Great for teenage girls - there's that nice touch of gothic that you don't see anywhere near often enough, and not enough emo to send me reaching for the razor blades.
But.......
Whenever I saw Edward:
I thought of Tim Finn. It was the hair and the makeup that did it. I mean, I look at the vampire "family" sitting around the table at lunch time and I think of Split Enz late 70s, early 80s.
The Godmother suggested that Neil Finn might be a better match for the Separated At Birth Files, and she could be onto something.
Unfortunately for me, copious googling has not enabled me to find exactly the pics I want of the young Finn brothers, so you'll have to do with another clip for the heck of it.
Enjoy.
