I just saw Twilight too, with my friend's 10-year-old daughter obsessing and commenting and quoting lines all the time. I'm not sure it's meant to be that scary, really. They're using vampires for a romance story.
I've often wondered what Lauren Bacall's really like. One way or another, she's interesting and unique obviously, but people are intimidated, and she claims to be nice and easygoing, and that people are intimidated because of her movie image. So far, the jury's out, but I kinda think she's probably very cool to be around, clever, AND will bite your head off if you're not careful, or if you are. But so what, she's cool. Niceness can be boring.
And she's right about horror movies, and I enjoy the shoe remark.
