Girls are going crazy over it. *c-r-a-z-y* - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:10 1
- Which will make the disappointment that much more stronger of a sting. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:14
don't forget the 20-30ish goth milfs. they're gonna go. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:08 23
- I doubt it. Unless they still shop at Hot Topic and if that's the case ick! -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:12
- And normal milfs like my wife and half the women in this company, whose men apparently aren't getting it done and so they need Vampequin paperbacks. -- nm - TFox Nov 13, 14:10 6
  - wouldn't goth milfs be too cool for it? -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:13 4
    - negative. So negative. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:17
    - The only women I know who aren't freaking about Twilight are still tweaking over the New Kids concert last week. - TFox Nov 13, 14:15 2
      - Good grief. -- nm - mara Nov 13, 14:33
      - um, nice to meet you I guess. I never even heard of it till last week. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 14:16
  - HAHAHA! That's funny. -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 14:13
- Ive heard its for people who have outgrown Harry Potter - eag Nov 13, 14:09 14
  - No, I think for that it's being overhyped. - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:12 12
    - heck, any youth-centric series that shows the slightest bit of popularity is going to be heralded as "the next Harry Potter" for the next 10 years - znufrii Nov 13, 14:13 11
      - Alot of movies have tried but there is still only one - eag Nov 13, 14:14 2
        
        I think "they're" referring to the books, not the movies. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:19 1
        
        But it holds true for both -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:23
      - Actually my series of NaNoWriMo novels are going to be "the next Harry Potter" -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:14 2

        Dumbledore! -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:17
      - the fact it knocked Potter out of the top spot on the bestseller list (at least once if not twice), that helped. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:14 4
        
        It would have been interesting had HPOT6 had opened in november when it should have -- nm - eag Nov 13, 14:16 3
        
        Twilight is attempting to fill that vaccum. That's precisely when it went from a buzz to epic. Will it succeed? No. It still looks ugly as a Magnolia - Qale Nov 13, 14:20 1
        
        I think the movie needs to be good to great for it to succeed, yes. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:22
        
        Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 13, 14:17
  - It seems completely inadequate for the task. Besides Harry Potter's getting plenty dark enough as its going along. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 14:10
