TWILIGHT!!!

SO, I loved it. Now, obviously, it's not the book, word for word, but I think they got the point across. I don't want to spoil anything...you know how it's going to end anyway...But I think they knew that there is no actor on earth who could be like Edward, so they went with making him a little more realistic. He is a little bit akward at times,and I his looks definitely grow on you. Bella is a little bit stammering,but very much like I pictured her...although I think she put's a little bit more effort into fashion than she gives herself credit for in the book...a little bit. But it was still very romantic, and I particulary loved the baseball scene. Their relationship progessed too fast, I thought, but obviously, the movie was only 2 hours, and I was ok with it, because I felt like, since I read the book, I knew what was left out... I'd be very curious to hear what someone who hadn't read the books thought about it...is there a person like that out there?

So, the midnight premiere: I twisted Dustin's arm into getting there at about 10:30. We were off on our estimate at what time people would start lining up by about 6.5 hours. Yes, the first people in line had arrived at the theatre at 4 pm. Idiots. That was pretty much the theme of the night. I know they were excited, but idiots, everywhere. Loud idiots. Poor Dustin was one of about 6 guys in the whole place. He reminded me a couple of times that if this wasn't my anniversary present...(part of it anyway, he gave me an awesome swirly wrought-iron thing for the kitchen wall, too...I love it) He was a very good sport about it, though, all told. We got there and line was horrifically long...Luckily, when they split it into two, one for each theatre, we sidled into a spot up front. Yay! It was quite an experience. Dustin probably would've rather been anywhere but there, but I thought it was fun! Let me know your opinions when you see it!

  3. Sorry to be the devil's advocate, but it just didn't add up for me...I didn't feel like the love story was believable at all.

    One of the girls I went with hadn't read the book and she thought it was good? So maybe it would have been better if I had not read it.
