I hadn't thought about the fact that making the movie is in opposition to what the book teaches.

Anybody who has read the books knows that the only people concerned about fashion aren't really the type of people you're rooting for. Twilight also has a makeup line, which I also thought was strange since Bella was made out to be natural and the type that doesn't care about style. There was even Edward body glitter, which I thought was hilarious. That said, I'm not going to judge anybody who buys these products. To each their own :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-59385702766821000302012-03-02T10:44:08.799-05:002012-03-02T10:44:08.799-05:00OMG, nail polish, really?!

His brain has turned to mush and his eyes are like pinwheels on fire.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-48395235338516877752012-03-02T09:52:06.057-05:002012-03-02T09:52:06.057-05:00As long as your pleasure isn't coming at the e...As long as your pleasure isn't coming at the expense of someone else's DEATH, I'm pretty sure you're alright. Celebrating great books (even if they get made into big blockbuster movies) should always be something to get excited about.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909231722765498071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-72287996198750202212012-03-02T07:51:38.661-05:002012-03-02T07:51:38.661-05:00I'm totally going to see the movie, but I don&...I'm totally going to see the movie, but I don't plan on buying any nail polish based off of the book (and I love nail polish). Truth be told, I WOULDN'T be going to see the movie, if they hadn't put people who can genuinely act - not just portray characters but LIVE those characters - in the movie. <br /><br />I LOVED the books, even while I disliked a lot of what happened in them. I, too, was dubious about a movie. I *think* it's going to wind up being awesome. But I'm not buying into the idea that all this merchandise can be laughed off tongue and cheek style. Smiling about it, does not mean that it isn't blatant money mongering merchandising. <br /><br />And after all that, I'll say that I'm not CONDEMNING anyone who DOES buy stuff like the nail polish. For goodness sakes if you want 'Heat of the Moment' on your fingers, you go on with your bad self. I just won't because I felt like it's a betrayal of the entire message within the books. A message I thought was important.Artemis Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849091563671031929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468546013884694910.post-80871923835451921102012-03-02T01:29:40.037-05:002012-03-02T01:29:40.037-05:00Honey, you're not the only one.

I'm gonna see the movie, of course, but it does make me wonder what's next from the merchandising extravaganza that is the death cult we call Hollywood: An Anne Frank fashion line? A Killing Fields line of gardening products (herbicides maybe, get it?) Maybe Lolita themed underwear for little girls?The Busy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436661456524769835noreply@blogger.com
