"New Moon" DVD Released Today

To be honest, I'm surprised that it has taken me this long to write a post about the Twilight series.  I'll admit, I am a big fan of Stephanie Meyer's vampire romance series.  Not a fan in a "buy a Team-Edward T-shirt " kind-of-way, but definitely a "read every book twice and will read any article related to the movies" kind-of-way.  So naturally,  I'm pretty excited about the fact that New Moon was released on DVD at midnight last night, with nation-wide Harry Potter-esque midnight release parties for those fans who couldn't wait until morning to go to their local Best Buy and get their hands on a copy.  And while I can admit to being a fan of the insanely popular series, I can be honest about it too.  I know that the writing isn't top-quality, the plot is fairly absurd and the acting in the first movie was downright awful.  But somehow, that doesn't stop me from re-reading each novel, or throwing my Twilight DVD in on a rainy day, or re-watching the New Moon and Eclipse trailers (the latter of which was recently released) on Youtube every so often.  There is just something about the Bella and Edward romance that is simply addicting, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.  At some point this week, I'm sure I'll get my hands on my own copy of the DVD and spend a night watching an awkward Kristen Stewart be abandoned by the equally awkward Robert Pattinson, while the bulked-up Taylor Lautner shows them both up in acting skills.  And, quite truthfully, I'll love every minute of it.

What did you think of New Moon?  Did anyone go to a midnight release party?
