Okay, 'Twilight' fans, please don't hate me.
Last night/this morning some gals in my neighborhood ventured to the 12:20am showing of 'Twilight.' It was a fun night. We started off with some delicious Toll House Pie at the Dodo, then headed to the Century Theatre. We were surrounded by die heard 'Tweens', it was prime people watching & a fun atmosphere. I must admit, weeks ago when I saw the previews for Twilight, I was extremely disappointed with the casting of Edward. But I optimistically tried to have an open mind about it, but he is nothing I pictured him as. Edward is suppose to be 'the vampire with godlike good looks.' He is suppose to be smooth, dreamy (as dreamy as a vampire can be) suave, strong, and have the skin of sparkling marble, right? Wrongo. He is unblinking, googlied eyed, too pale, bordering on anemic, awkward, and down right creepy. And how about his chest hair? ugh. Don't you at least think they could have waxed it for the movie? The character development was non-existent. And I have to think if you haven't read the book, the movie would be confusing and diffcult to follow. At least from reading the book you knew what kinds of feelings were "supposed" to be portrayed when they weren't. I understand the difficult to take a 500+ page novel, & to turn it into a 2 hour movie. Maybe it is because I am not 16, so it was just a little too cheesy. But typically I truly enjoy cheesy love stories.
On a positive, it it fun to see so many people excited about a movie based on a book that so many people have read and are passionate about.
Overall a fun night had by all. But my review of the movie: Be prepared for painfully awkward moments, and lots of giggles (I literally giggled out loud often in parts I don't think were intended to be funny:)
