Someone Was Up Way Past her Bed Time

Have you seen Twilight yet? I have. Probably before you. But I won't rub it in.

Lucky for me, Candis, even though I am on Team Jacob, let me crash her super-cool vampire party on Thursday night. We ate mushroom ravioli and coke (just like Bella on she and Edward's first date), watched Twilight trailers, made Twilight tee-shirts and then went to the midnight showing of the movie. It was all incredibly dorky and right up my alley.

Did I mention that I was there with one of my best best friends in the whole world, Katie. She and I even got to chill with Jacob and Edward before the show. Edward wanted to ditch Bella for me but I told him that I was happily married and to get his pervert fangs off of me.

So, don't hate me, but I only 75% liked the books. I had moments of extreme giddiness while reading, like when Edward saved Bella from the sliding car (mmmm), but all in all, I kept thinking that Edward was a little possessive--even to the point of abusive.

And don't get me started on the last book. The cover should have looked more like this:

StephMey never said the anatomically-correct words, but boy-howdy did you ever get a clear picture of what was going on with those little bodies of theirs. It was a romance novel. Fine for me, but I was a little embarrassed about the twelve year-old-girls reading it. And imprinting on babies.... hmmm... a little icky.

But we're not here to talk about the book. The movie.

Here's the things I liked:

-The make-out scene. One of the best I've ever seen. I loved it. So did the forty-year-old woman sitting next to me. She went into heat every time Edward came on screen. There was panting, the curling of toes, and even moans. I felt very uncomfortable being next to her.

-I love the Cullen's house. I wanted it for my own.

-Bella did an excellent job. She was EXACTLY how I saw her in my head. That has never happened to me before.

-Forks was beautiful.

-I finally agreed about the casting of Edward in the prom scene. It was ROMANTIC and lovely.

The things I hated and wanted dead:

-Was is just me or did the movie seem a little Lifetime Original made-for-TV movie? Low budget. It could have been incredible if more money would have gone into the special-effects.

-The music. Gag me.

-Cullens who? Little to no development of extremely crucial and interesting characters. Also, they were not all that beautiful. In real-life, yes, but in the movie they were pasty and weird and I didn't like them at all.

So I give the movie a C.

What do you give it? What did you love? Hate? Want dead?
