Watch out, screaming Twi-hards: I’m on Team Dad.

Tonight, as I am left holding down the fort with my daughters (sleeping, thankfully), my wife will venture out to a private showing of a movie due to be released to the public at midnight: Twilight: Breaking Dawn–Part 1 (because one movie can’t encapsulate the cuckoo bird sufficiently–it’ll be two parts).

A big “Thank you” goes out to David Edelstein for nicely summarizing the exquisite work of modern fiction that is the phenomenon known as Twilight: Back in Forks in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella and Edward repose in a meadow of soft-focus violets, in which Edward, his ivory skin bejeweled under the sun’s rays, asks Bella […]
