Am I the only one getting sick of all the hype around the movie Twilight? Entertainment Weekly has an entire series of articles surrounding it. MTV has the TV spot up everwhere. I'm sure if I ever bothered to tune to the CW it's probably on there, too. Maybe this is showing my old age, but to me it looks like yet another trendy teen angst flick that will underwhelm.
What sucks is that I actually really want to see it. I'm a sucker for anything vampire related. I'm the only guy I know who is a devoted follower of all things Buffy; I watch True Blood; have read some Anne Rice novels. I even liked both Underworld movies. And I'm a fan of anything with Kristen Stewart AND Nikki Reed. But they are really turnin' me off with their marketing campaign. Making this out to be this generation's Romeo & Juliet isn't going to make me come to the theater any faster.
