BUDDY TV: THE ‘TWILIGHT’ CHALLENGE- LIVE THOUGHTS
BuddyTV.Com has a hilarious look at a Twilighter watching the movie with non-Twilight friends, and their thoughts:
It was a normal night like any other when Debbie, Oscar, Meghan and I sat down to watch Twilight. We curled up in my bed (well, Oscar sat in a chair) and gleefully anticipated the beginning of the film.What I will say of the following live thoughts is this: don’t judge them like they tried not to judge Twilight. Debbie really wanted Bella and Edward to get down, Meghan wanted to get down with Edward and Oscar had his own special outlook on things. They were hilarious but moreover, they expressed a lot of concerns that non-readers might have while watching the movie. Some things they didn’t understand and some things they grasped fully. If you’ve seen the movie ten times like me (yeah, that’s right, I’ve seen it that many times since we did the initial thoughts video), then it’ll be easy to figure out what we’re talking about. If not, I leave contextual clues along the way. if you still can’t figure it out, please, go watch Twilight again, for me…
The following is the beginning of their thoughts watching the movie:
Debbie Chang: Okay, it’s starting.
Oscar Dahl: I have never heard of Summit Entertainment.
Debbie Chang: Oh no, voiceovers. Kill me now.
Kim Wetter: I really like the score.
Oscar Dahl: The old vampire/deer chase opening…how cliché.
Debbie Chang: Does phoenix really look like that?
Oscar Dahl: yes.
Debbie Chang: With cacti and such?
Kim Wetter: Well, it’s phoenix.
Meghan Carlson: I’ve been to phoenix. It does look like that. It’s sprawling and grossly hot.
Kim Wetter: FORKS!
Meghan Carlson: Reppin’ WA STATE! Hollerrrr.
Oscar Dahl: I’ve been to Forks…I will decline to say what I thought about it.
Debbie Chang: Isn’t it lazy storytelling to do all this exposition via voiceover? I’m just sayin…

This had me laughing so hard! But I do think some of the points are valid to people who have not read the books. I know my parents watched the movie without knowing the story at all and were confused on several things in the movie.
What did you think of the thoughts of first-time ‘Twilight’ watchers? Have you gotten anyone to watch the movie that hasn’t read the books?
