I read them and I've watched the movies. I enjoyed them but I don't obsess over it like I've seen so many people do. Whenever I go see one of the movies in theaters, I see these squealing, Edward/Jacob t-shirt wearing, dark eyeliner wearing, highschool nit-wits who I just want to knock upside the head but *sigh* I just go on about my business. I like vampires and werewolves and will watch just about anything or read anything with them in it, but I do have to agree that these books and movies are basically just a bunch of whiny, hormone crazed teenagers with a dash of the mythical thrown in.
