Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod. My name is Marco.

My name is Katherine. And today we're talking about a very popular kind of movie.

That's right. Today we're talking about Twilight and all the creatures that you can find in this new movie.

Okay, so the name of the movie is Twilight. Let's take a listen to today's dialogue. We'll be back in a moment to talk about what's going on.

The Dialogue

A: You want to go to the movies tonight?

B: Sure. What's playing?

A: The new Twilight movie.

B: Twilight as in the vampire movies? No way am I watching that. I don't understand why everyone is so excited about these films about vampires. It doesn't make sense.

A: Of course it does. It's like a modern tale of Romeo and Juliet. You have a couple that is in love but can't be together because they are so different. Add in the fact the immortality and superhuman strength is really sexy. And there you have it. Plus, the cast is hip. Young people that make the movie even more enticing.

B: I don't buy into that. I think it's just a fad. Pretty soon, this will pass and everyone will be into werewolves or zombies.
