Twilight Cheese

So the third trailer for "Twilight" is now out. I wonder if anyone making this film stopped and considered the cheese factor of it all. The book was enjoyable to read, but it's cheese factor was tolerable because it was hidden in a book. No one around you would suspect you were reading so much cheese. But someone decided to turn this into a film--and now the cheese-ness has grown exponentially. First it was just a cheesy idea in Stephanie Meyer's head, and now it's been acted out by actors who seem just as cheesed out by the film itself (Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart look sheepish and embarrassed when they do publicity for the film, and equally bewildered and surprised by all the hype). When I saw that a third trailer was out, part of me held on to hope that it would be less cheesy than the others, but it got even cheesier! I feel embarrassed by it all, and yet I'll be first in line November 21st. Even it's a cheesy film, I hope it somehow captures the addictive and guilty pleasure experienced from reading the first book. At least I like Robert and Kristen.

Ok. So I watched the third trailer and I think its cheesier than the second but I think that the teaser trailer has got to be the cheesiest. It has the most goofy/"smoldering" looks. They probably should have cast someone who actually smolder successfully.
