And?

We really liked it!

We didn't LOVE it, but it was more than "so so" and just a "like."

The chick that plays Bella was super annoying but Robert Pattinson definitely lives up to the hype. He carries the film - in more ways than one.

We wish the movie was a bit longer, though. But they probably left us wanting more on purpose.

Sequels!

Last week we mentioned of the chaos that took place at a Hot Topic in San Francisco to meet Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson.

Due to the outrageous number of fans that showed up, about 3,000 teens had to be turned away from the autograph session. Among those turned away was 18 year-old Tiffany Kuhne.

But, Tiffany and some lucky fans got a big surprise at a recent taping of The Tyra Banks Show. The show flew Tiffany and two other teenagers involved in the autograph disappointment to New York for a Twilight-themed show.

Thought they didn't know that Pattinson and his co-star that no one really talks about, Taylor Lautner, would be there as a surprise.

And during the show the girls had a chance to win a "Twilight memorabilia" prize if they won a pie-eating contest.

Why pie-eating? We have no clue. But during the contest Pattinson even joked, "I still can't believe they are making you guys do this. Oh, geez!"

Tiffany won and it turns out the prize was the Volvo that Pattinson's vampire character drives in the movie! She said, "I feel absolutely amazing, ecstatic. I can't believe everything that just happened did. This is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life."

We agree. Meeting Pattinson and getting a free car sounds great to us. Especially considering that Tiffany works at a coffee shop and didn't even own a car!!!!!!!!

Life works in magical and mysterious ways, bbs.

Although Twilight has gotten some mixed reviews, that hasn't stopped people from speculating about its success - and the books too.

Publishing insiders are already saying that Stephenie Meyers' Twilight series will make it big, maybe even outperforming the Harry Potter series. Especially now with the movie out!

Elizabeth Eulberg, publicist for the Twilight books, said "I think it will definitely bring a bigger audience. We just hope the people who haven't read the books who see the movie will read them."

She adds that sales have risen in the past few weeks with worldwide sales of the four books in the series reaching 25 million. The books are also printed in 37 languages!

Eulberg added that "For the past three years we've been steadily getting more fans, so when 'Breaking Dawn' came out [in August] it sold 1.3 million copies on the first day in the U.S."

As for the book's author, Meyer claims the idea came to her in a dream back in 2003. Just six months later she had written Twilight and signed a six-figure deal.

Wonder how much of that money she's donated to her Mormon church and to the Yes on Prop H8te to promote lies????????????

But despite the books selling well, the flick is still not doing so well with the reviews.

Time Magazine added that while Twilight was not a masterpiece, it "rekindles the warmth of great Hollywood romances."

Will U be watching Twilight?

Not surprisingly, Twilight rocked the box office Thursday night.

Don't believe us? Read the writing on the wall.

The movie took in about $7 million - just from midnight screenings!

Additionally:

– Fandango has been selling 5 Twilight tickets per second, as of early Friday morning

– Fandango sold out more than 1,000 Twilight midnight show times on Thursday night, in advance and online

– 34% of moviegoers in a Fandango.com poll said they will take off a few hours from school or the office today to see Twilight

– It’s the company’s fastest-selling film since The Dark Knight in July of this year

– Twilight takes the #3 spot on Fandango’s list of Top Advance Ticket-Sellers, surpassing the Harry Potter, Pirates, and Lord of the Rings movies; Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and The Dark Knight remain in the #1 and #2 spots, respectively

That's a lot of blood they're sucking!

In his critique of Twilight, Roger Ebert gives the hotly-anticipated film just 2 and a half stars.

Variety also calls the film "disappointing."

And, the Associated Press doesn't like the movie either.

Bummer!

In response to the havoc wrecked by hordes of tweenie girls in San Francisco earlier this week and after Wednesday's promotion in Chicago left hundreds of fans disappointed, Hot Topic's CEO just issued the following statement to PerezHilton.com:

To all of the supporters of Hot Topic and fans of TWILIGHT:

Although no explanation will correct the situation that occurred in Chicago today at the Orland Square Mall, I wanted to attempt to explain what happened from our point of view.

We do many signings all over the country with large crowds so we have processes and systems in place to ensure a smooth experience for our customers. The mall developer was a partner in the planning; however, as of two days ago, they told us they would not allow any fans to line up prior to 6AM. They required them to be off the premises.

On Monday at 6AM at the San Francisco event, the fans became disorderly and stormed the mall entrance. Mall security, numerous police, fire officials and our team from HT stepped in to calm the crowd and create a safe environment for the fans. The event was revised and went forward with the exception of the planned Q&A.

Monday’s event caused all of us to re-group and review the process. Allowing a “mob” to develop was dangerous and frankly, not an option. The mall developer (GGP) consented to allowing an orderly line to form prior to 6AM outside of the remainder of the malls on the tour. When our crew arrived yesterday at midnight, approximately 500 people were already lined up to purchase tickets. By 1AM, there were 700 people in line. It was about 30 degrees and raining. We had to make a call. We knew the first 500 would get wristbands and felt it was the right call to allow those waiting beyond 500 to go home and avoid the cold, wet weather for the remainder of the morning. Given the demand, anyone arriving after midnight would have been too late to obtain a wristband.

We understand your frustration and anger, but from our standpoint, we had no choice but to change the rules after Monday’s event. We knew some would feel it unfair as they were told one thing and when arriving on the scene, something else was reality. But given the choice of risking a disorderly crowd, a dangerous situation and canceling of the event, we made a decision that we felt was the right thing to do. I support our team and the mall for making safety and, given the weather, health the priorities.

There are two remaining locations for “Edward” appearances, King of Prussia in Philadelphia and Square One in Saugus MA. Both malls have consented to allowing an orderly line form early, first come, first serve. Exact line-up locations are posted on the hottopic.com website.

We sincerely apologize and hope that the facts help you to better understand the situation.

Betsy McLaughlin
CEO, Hot Topic

Twilight is turning into a crazy teen phenomenon!

They're going to have to start doing these events at arenas!
