Twilight Fandemonium

I am looking forward to the release of the Twilight movie as much as anybody else, but I am actually getting a little bit nervous.  Right about now I don’t think I want to be anywhere near a movie theater on opening day.

First there was the incident that happened yesterday morning outside a Hot Topic in San Francisco where a mob of 3,000 girls swarmed the store and one girl ended up with a broken nose.  All that just because they wanted to meet Robert Pattinson…

Then, I was checking my LiveJournal today where I subscribe to some Twilight community posts.  One of the posts was a girl asking how hairy everybody thought Robert Pattinson is under all those clothes.  Oh my……

Now I know what obsessed fans are like, being one myself for several different things, but this seems to be taking it a bit too far.  I have been to many a Harry Potter fan gathering in my day and had a marvelous time acting like the nerd that I am, but when I was in a room filled with thousands of Twilight fans, I felt…..uneasy…..there really is no other way to describe it.

So, I will probably not see the movie on opening night (but I will get to hear about it because my sis will get to preview it at her theater), but I will make sure to see it.  I just hope I can see it in a theater where people can control themselves enough not to faint everytime Edward comes on screen.

So I urge everyone out there to go forth to the movie theaters and be fangirls:  swoon, giggle, squeal, dress up in costume, and have loads of fun, but remember that there are a lot of other people around who probably just wanted to see a movie.
