Oh, never knew you were a twin; how interesting. My son is 35, and I was pretty young when I had him - just 23; his father was a fraternal twin. Of course, some women start at 17 - my aunt did. Wow, six - half a dozen...must have been fun growing up and you must have been indulged by all of them, being the youngest, but you seem so nice and unscathed by it. I know how that works. I am the oldest and got the worst of it. I have two sisters. Still do.:(Quote:

Well the actor hasnt been in many movies so its really more what he is representing (being the personification of edward in the movie) than who he is. There is a bit of a beatles frenzy around Twilight in the states but its over the character. If it had been a different actor, teh reaction would have been the same. :nod: So this guy who is playing Edward is going to get one hell of a fan base, just because he was this character.
Think of the Colin Firth phenomena with Mr Darcy. :rolleyes:
I havent seen twilight yet so...its not out until 19th December here. :) I'm going to see it hopefully with a couple of girls from Poolbeg...
Last night I watched
"Ghosts" ~ Judy Dench, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Gambon, Natashia Richardson - part of a film series I bought recently on 8 Ibsen plays done by the BBC.
"Ghosts" was awesome, but oh so sad and depressing. Still the performances were mulit-layered and complex, and extremely fine-tuned. The play amazed me, in being so advanced for that time (era) in plot, themes, scandals, and ibsen's progressive ideas. I went online after viewing it, to gather some commentary on the play. It certainly makes one think. The ending is open-ended, for some this may make them angry but, I found it just right; although it sort of disturbed me all night sleeping - kept waking to think about it. A very powerful production. I highly recommend it. The DVD set I bought, is well worth the money - it contains 8 plays and also 8 audio-radio recordings. How can you beat that. I can't wait to see more of them. They are all fine actors and fine performances. The BBC does it again.
