Twilight

I probably would go see the movie Twilight the day it comes out, but I've been tired of this movie for months now. As a diehard Gilmore Girls fan, I watch or Tivo the show every day on ABC Family, and within the last month there has not been one episode that I have seen that didn't show a Twilight trailer about five times. 
I feel like Twilight is everywhere this season, and while I have no problem with people being excited, I just saw a news report that focused on the rabid pre-teen army surrounding my local IMAX theater, all gnashing their teeth in excitement and insanity. There on my television screen was a minion talking to the camera about the story: "I think it's like exciting because, like, Bella and Edward get together? And he could, like, eat her cause he's like a vampire? And it's, like, so romantic because they end up married?" All of this she said with a straight face into the news camera. 
Because it's, like, epic?
