Here's the url: http://www.twilightguy.com/2008/05/12/twilightg...
That was soooo funny!!! i LOVED your article!!! you should write something together with twilightguy.com cuz he´s really funny too...
and i have to agree with NINA: tell the guys to TAKE NOTE FROM EDWARD!!!
i have to ask: Will you read book 2 and 3?? can´t wait to read your opinion with those! it´s a MUST!!!
hard at your Tips for Guys, and I hope you continue to read the rest of the series. Great
article!
I am glad there is a male who writes articles who has actually decided to read it then speak. I would have been happy even if you didn't like it. at least you would have had something to go on:)
Welcome to the darkside my friend. Twilight rocks!
this. I even emailed to my husband who I have been trying to convince to read the books.
Thanks for taking the time to read the book, then give your views. And I enjoyed your
views. They were very open-minded. And my favorite part was the list at the end!
And although I'm 20 and a girl, I do know great cars and if a guy does have a 1967 Ford Mustang and happens to read Twilight, I am marrying him right away.
That was hysterical. I actually had to send this article to my husband at work. He has sat in the room for many sessions of me reading these books to my two youngest kids (My oldest son read them too!), but has never read them himself. (That isn't new, he reads the scriptures and the newspaper and that's it) You are a very funny writer and it was a joy to read your view. Thanks!
That man's name is Neil Miller and you can tell him how grand a wife you'd make him by emailing neil@filmschoolrejects.com.
Be sure to incorporate pictures.
Um. I'll have to think about it. xD
But what color is that Mustang? ;)
Twilight and have it publish ^-^
there shuld b more guys like u ... it just shows ur not insecure abt ur man-liness =)
Are you ready for the love?? You won't be single for long, and women will love you for digging Edward. Why? Because that's what we all want in a man...and if he glitters in the sun, all the better!! So glad you liked the book! Trust me when I say, NEW MOON will floor you and ECLIPSE will keep you beggin' for more! Just like the rest of us crazed, rabid fans! Thanks for giving it a shot! And Josh, try again. By chapter 3, you're hooked!
may just have convinced my husband to read at least Twilight, if no the rest, but he will
probably have to watch American Gladiators and grow that beard! Thanks for making my
night!
Now you should tackle Stardust. ;) Though Neil Gaiman probably isn't much of a challenge on the "manly" scale.
(If you don't know what I meant, reread chapter thirteen.)
Overall, good writing and just plain funny. I'll send this to my guy friend (who remains nameless) who enjoyed the books, too. :)
I do think if you read the next two books you might get away from the sticky sweet romance a bit. There's definitely a buttload of action in Eclipse, and there's so much going on that it's rare Edward and Bella get any time to themselves. XD
I can't wait for the movie, really. I've read a bunch of interviews with the director and screenwriter, and they are really invested in making it as close to the book as possible, but they changed a few things to suit the screen. A lot of Bella's internal dialogue will be spoken... Like, they tried to find ways and situations for her to actually TELL someone that she hated Forks. And stuff like that. I think it'll be spectacular.
I've been off for a couple days bare-knuckle boxing Tazmanian Devils (something Robert Fure showed me, thanks man), but it's great to return to so much love.
To answer the question, yes, Neil Miller has a Lavender and Hot Pink 1967 Mustang. I've begged him to repaint it, but he says it makes him feel "pretty". One time he dyed his beard the same colors, and we had to stage an intervention.
Thanks again, and keep checking back to FSR for more Twilight movie news.
Your article was truly entertaining and crammed with so much wit, I had no idea where to laugh first. I too was apprehensive to publicly declare my "like" as you say, with Twilight but now I can say " Hi my name is Jess, and I'm a Twilight Addict". Your commentary was hilarious and refreshing to get a guys perspective on a book that appeals to people on so many levels. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series as much, and feel free to do so while eating a bucket of chicken, drinking a beer, and smoking a cigar...while in a flannel shirt(brawny man style):)
BTW- What's this fascination with Chuck Norris? Two guys I recently spoke with referenced Chuck" Texas Ranger" Norris. Is it mandatory to watch CN movies in Gym class or what?????
So, yeah. Loved the article. And have fun reading the rest of the series. ^.^

the tips at the end had me falling out of my chair laughing.
Oh, and I agree with Sara on the whole "Rob" thing. He did look like he was crazy in every single shot. *sigh* But the movie does seem intriguing .

Ok I'm done...
Anyway, Cole i think that it's awsome that you are reading the books, i mean they are just for teen girls, they are for eveybody. I cannot think of a better book serious then these. Oh and you know how you were complaining about all of the romantic stuff, well in the second book there is a lot less of that *sniff* and in the third there is also more fighting so no need to worry about your manlyness or whatnot.
Anyway your "Tips" made me LOL til I cried. My dog was even looking at me funny.
Cole, make the KnC reimburse you so you can move on to New Moon and keep writing!
Glad to hear of a male fan!!
Take care and keep writing!
And excellent macho tips, I actually want to try a few myself and see how "macho" I get haha.
half of it by the end of my transatlantic flight. I did feel stupid when two 12 year old girls in
the security line at the airport were also carrying the book. but you know what, i
appreciated the escapism this book offered, even though tis for much younger readers it
made me feel young again and yeah edward is a total hero.
11/21/08!!!
