‘Twilight’ hype … still out of control?

I posted about this movie back in May, and needless to say that it got some people a little worked up about “their” movie… However I think that we need to revisit this again.

‘Twilight’ fans are almost like Harry Potter fans, except older and way more pissed off. If they read anything negative about the movie..they will find you and attempt to burn you at the stake. Just check out the 945 comments that MTV movie blog received about the EW Cover(picture above). They almost seem like the new breed of defensive Star Wars geeks, or Trekkies. This is the newest phenomenon, and its getting a bit out of control. They kind of feel that since they are such huge fans of the book, the movie wont disappoint them.

What do you guys think about this? Have you guys read the book? Are you excited for the movie without having read the book?
