I heart the internet...

Mmm... bootleg Twilight complete with heads passing randomly in front of the screen. What better way to spend the night :)

Mmm... James

So Kesha and I saw twilight last night. Our movie was supposed to start at 8:40 but we ended up not getting in there until about 9:15. Yeah, we waited outside in the freezing cold for an hour and a half but as soon as the movie started the numb toes and tingling fingers were forgotten. The acting was not stellar to say the least but I'd prepared myself for that and wasn't overly irritated. An all out cheer ripped through the theater when we caught our first glimpse of Edward. And at the first glimpse of James through the silence of the theater all that was heard was me and Kesha's simultaneous "Mmm". We looked at each other and burst out laughing... that's why I love this girl. I don't care that he's a bad vampire... shit, bite me :) I thought the movie was pretty great. Like Annie, I thought most of the characters were perfect and Edward grew on me through the movie. His eyes and mouth were great but he was too hairy (the chest) and not muscular enough and yes the house was all wrong, but still very cool. Bella and Edward's bedrooms were wrong too but I have to say (before kesha pulls that razor out of her cheek) that overall I was very pleased with the movie and can't wait to see it again, and again, and again.... and again :)

Twilight Night!!!

Leaving for Kesha's house in 75 minutes to go see twilight! I'm soooo freaking excited. Then Lori and I are going tomorrow night I think. I started reading the book again last night just for fun. I'll let you know (well everyone but annie ;) know how it was.

So Excited (and a CJ funny)

I'm soooo freaking excited... Twilight comes out tomorrow!!! The more I've watched the trailers the more the cast grows on me. I think it will be okay and I'll manage not to stand up in the theater, jump up and down hysterically and scream 'no, it's all wrong... this is alllll wrong!' but we'll see :) Without my meds I'm not exactly predictable :)

As for the CJ funny, they came over for dessert on Kesha's birthday and CJ tells dad: "Papa you need a Hulk watch (the one in the movie that tells him when he's getting angry) so that you can not be so angry and push people." (in response to a slight altercation dad had in a softball game 2 weeks ago... and no the boys didn't see it, just heard us talking about it). When dad told him that the kid pushed him first CJ says "Well than they really should have thrown that guy out!" Dad responds with a THAT'S WHAT I SAID! Kids are so cute, gotta love 'em.

Disappointed...

So everyone knows that I'm a complete Twilight freak. I love these books! But yesterday as I was surfing around on the web I found the trailer for the new movie coming out this month. I have to admit that I'm already a little disappointed. I'm disappointed in the choice for Edward #1. He is so not what I envisioned Edward to look like. Of course the only thing that comes close to what I envisioned as Edwards perfection was Brad Pitt circa Legends of the Fall, minus the long flowing locks of deliciousness. But the guy they chose just doesn't do it for me. I have no idea who I would have chosen myself, but it definitely would not have been him. #2 though it was just a few brief clips I was disappointed with the caliber of the acting. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that in all the hype of FINALLY seeing this book come to life before my eyes that I will be able to overlook that flaw. The acting that I saw was a bit reminiscent of the earlier Keanu Reeves roles and we all know how great that was (I can't believe I managed to type that without gagging). But anyway, movies based on my favorite books have always fallen well below my expectations. So maybe with this one, with my expectations already so low, I will be pleasantly surprised. Here's to hoping anyway.

WTF?

I just realized that the Twilight and the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movies will be released the same night! WTF is up with that? It's just wrong to make me choose between my two favorite series'. Of course Twilight (which I have my fingers crossed will be rated R) will win out, but still! Why do I wish it to be rated R? Because about 98% (well maybe 96% now) of the population out here is LDS and they don't see rated R movies... which means that might lessen the number of shrill teenage girls I would have to deal with on opening night. With the Harry Potter movies I usually either see them REALLY late at night or on Sundays just to avoid some of the crowd. Yes we all know I have social anxiety issues, I've just found my own special way to deal with them :)
