'Twilight's got some avid - and rabid - fans.

I don't relate to the 'Twilight' books or movies at all, but I'm obsessed with it as a pop culture phenomenon - all these people just screaming like it was the Beatles.

I like the 'Twilight' films.

Being a part of the 'Twilight' phenomenon was life-changing; there is a whole other world of 'Twilight' fandom!

There's something about a roller coaster that triggers strong feelings, maybe because most of us associate them with childhood. They're inherently cinematic; the very shape of a coaster, all hills and valleys and sickening helices, evokes a human emotional response.

My friends knew I was obsessed with these 'Twilight' boys because I love a dangerous love story.

'Twilight' passed like a fever through the sophisticated reader and the unsophisticated reader alike. People devoured those books in single sittings, over weekends, with a kind of raw intensity that is rare.

I'd actually read the 'Twilight' books and seen the movies, and I was a fan.

So what 'Twilight' does is show how women/girls can drive box office and they can support a tent pole movie. They're an extremely passionate fan base. This coincided with the 13 year old boys starting to stay home and play video games and work on their home media stuff. They're no longer going to theaters in droves.

To be completely honest, I didn't know 'Twilight' was a book.
