The Twilight movie; what a disappointing film adaptation of a good book. As a fan of the saga, I was not pleased with the shabby graphics and mediocre acting. Main characters were far from portrayed as described in the books making the entire first film an opening for bad jokes.

Eight is Enough
Here is another old television show that I watched in the late seventies and early eighties. It is entitled 'Eight is Enough' that is all about a family of eight children and the ups and downs of living at the time in history of inflation, the Gas Crisis, and various other personal and professional issues that affected us all at this time. The program starred Dick van Patten and Diana Hyland then Betty Buckley and a cast of characters of the children from Grant Goodeve, Willie Ammes, Adam Rich and others. To me this was an updated version of 'The Waltons' where the children all had a particular talent from writing, medicine, business, the arts, etc. I guess that was to be expected for 'Eight is Enough' was produced by the same company as 'The Waltons' for even Will Geer who played Grandpa on 'The Walton's played a character on 'Eight is Enough'. Watching these old or somewhat old and maybe outdated shows are still fun to watch and remember what you were doing at that time in history. By the way I have the Roku channel that allows me to watch some of my old favorite television shows from a bygone era.

I first watched Twilight about 3 years ago, and had never read the books. I do agree that there was plenty to poke fun at, and yet, I've found Twilight to be one of those odd comfort movies that I still turn to now and then. It certainly has some flaws, and I suppose I should read the books as well to see what I'm missing out on.
