To peek or not to peek?

As you'll have seen from a hellomagazine.com story this week, Italian fans of Twilight were given a glimpse of the action in the sequel to the saga as Robert and his co-stars began lensing more scenes for New Moon. Just as all seemed to be going smoothly in Italy, though, photos from the most popular scene in the book were leaked.

Bella's frenzied dash to the pool to reach Edward before he exposes his glisteningly pale skin, as well as the tryst that followed, were plastered all over the net, oozing from viral sites to mainstream headlines in a matter of minutes.

This has spurred heated debate among Twilighters over whether to peek or not to peek.

Many fans, moi included, clamour for anything related to Twilight. Knowing exact filming locations, glimpses of Edward's chalky makeup, and video clips of the infamous yellow Porsche all give me butterflies. Seeing my favourite book come to life bit by bit, and the flick unfolding before1469-b.jpg my eyes is exciting.

But a select group of Twilighters scoff at anything that could possibly fall into the "spoiler" category. They know that a yellow Porsche will make its way into the movie, but seeing the proof detracts from the end experience. Instead of watching small snippets of filming, they prefer to take a backseat approach and wait until the movie debuts in its entirety. Only under those conditions do they want to feast their eyes on Edward's sexy six-pack.

So which category do you fall into?

I have definitely found myself on the extreme side of "not to peek." Twilight the Movie was ruined for me. I don't want the same for New Moon. Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE Twilight the movie and I understand it's dumb to talk about spoilers when I have already read the book. However, the movie will be such a different experience. And I am SURE will be different from the book. Where does it end? How much is too much? What surprises can there be if Summit is constantly leaking and releasing EVERY scene for the world to see... Will you peek at the werewolves? Will you watch Bella jump from the cliff over and over? Already we know everyone is willing to watch the best scene over and over, how will that affect that moment in the movie for you? Will you be brought to tears again? Or will it be a let down moment now?

Having said that, I GET IT! I understand why everyone is peeking. Because I have been there done that. I DO NOT KNOCK YOU! But, maybe that's why I refuse to do so now. I understand the urge to look over and over again, but as I look back now I can see how FOR ME all that looking ruined the movie.
