Edward Cullen wouldn't eat your kind...

Remember that time that I bit the bullet and read Twilight? While I wasn't terribly impressed, I am definitely in the minority, as millions of teenage girls can't be wrong.

And while the delay in the latest Harry Potter movie has Rowling fans crying into their pointy little hats, Stephenie Meyer's fans have scored an earlier release date for their movie: Nov. 21st.

Meyer is already working on yet another book in the series, and you can read the first chapter on her site, in which she retells Twilight, from the vampire's point of view.

Has anyone heard of an author doing this before? Sure writers will retell their favorite authors' works years later, but I don't think I've ever seen an author reimagine her own work -- and so soon.

Anyway, the real reason I'm writing this post? First, check out the movie trailer. Blah, blah, I've got to protect you from myself, blah blah.

OK. NOW watch the spoof trailer. (Don't worry, it's safe for work.)

I want to be friends with these people.

About the bloggers

While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
