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.
