I realized something as I sat down to write today's Celebrity Beehive post on the movies in theaters this week - not only have I not seen any of the Twilight movies, but I haven't seen anything of the Twilight movies longer than the snippets they've shown in the trailers for them. No whole scenes... I mean, have I ever even heard Taylor Lautner speak?
I'm not bragging about this (although I don't feel especially bad about it either), but I do wonder if it somehow marks a hole in my pop cultural understanding that I ought to fill on principle alone. I hate to think that one day I could be on Jeopardy and be confronted with a question about what the hell Dakota Fanning was doing in this series and lose all my dollars because I have no effing clue. Hypothetical Jeopardy Playing Me would be distraught, I tells ya!
Sure, I've picked up bits and pieces, enough to know it sounds like a foul train-wreck of wooden acting and sinister sexless motives, but it's not like I haven't spent a lot of my life watching junk not worth my time or effort. I mean... seriously. SERIOUSLY SO MUCH TIME. What's another few hours on the fire-heap. Sigh. Thanks, Twilight movies. Now I'm depressed.

They're kinda funny, if nothing else. I saw the second one at the theatre, and the whole audience, even the fans, were finding it much more amusing than it was supposed to be.
You should go to YouTube and look up Rifftrax's best of the Twilight movies. It's the only way I could watch anything Twilight related without wanting to shove a gun in my mouth.
Rob Pattinson is like a walking, dirty orgasm. Also, hearing Taylor Lautner speak is highly overrated.
