And the show that made them infamous is kaput, though TLC is planning a new show next year starring just Kate. (Please don’t call it “Just Kate.”)

There’s a movie out now that you might not have heard of. It’s called “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.”

It’s the sequel of a 2008 movie that was just called “Twilight.”

They decided not to call the new movie “Twilight 2” or “Twilight: Part II” or even “Twilight Again” because they didn’t want moviegoers thinking the sequel was just more of the same from the first movie.

Because it’s not.

“Twilight” was a vampire movie. “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” is a vampire movie with werewolves.

I haven’t seen the movies or read any of the books on which they’re based. But my daughter has, and she’s told me all about them.

So I’ll share with you all I’ve learned from her.

First, you must understand that the “Twilight” series is “soooo good!”

Basically, it’s a variation on the old boy-meets-girl story. In the “Twilight” books and movies, the girl meets the boy, and they come from two different worlds: She’s from Seattle, and he’s from Chicago. Problems!

There are other differences, too, even though they both look like pretty adolescent schoolgirls.
