For all of the badness in the "Twilight" books and movies, there are a lot of good-looking shirtless guys in the 2nd movie (I'm assuming they are in the 3rd-5th movies too but haven't seen them). If you're in a certain demographic (and I am), good-looking shirtless guys can be awfully fun even if the rest of the movie is just plain awful.Gracie287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799511146497548002.post-47537052230341443912012-11-27T19:23:55.258-05:002012-11-27T19:23:55.258-05:00Because hating things is fun.

But if other people like it, and they obviously do, then that's fine with me.<br /><br />What I don't get is why so many people get so worked up about the movies and books. If you don't like them, then don't watch or read them. Why attack the people who do?

I had my wife borrow a copy of the DVD from her sister so there would be no incriminating paper trail. I was so relieved when I was absolutely bored by the movie.
