Let's give them something to blog about.......

I am so ashamed to say it; Emilie and I went to see Twilight. Let me take you on a journey through this horrible movie experience.

I will admit that I was a bit curious to see the movie. I read everything and because of that read all of the Twilight series. I didn't at first. I said I wasn't going to. I did though and I can't turn back. Unlike most of my books I don't think they are something I will pick up again. I read them at a time when there was a lot going on in my life and I just needed something mindless to read. Kind of like when people have bad days and watch stupid girly movies. Which, I am sure is what must have happened when Emilie watched "Bring It On"....yes, she did watch it!

Emilie and arrived at the movies a bit late so we had to see a different showing. After Emilie made me climb over people to get to the best seats we sat there chatting. I don't remember about what. Suddenly a girl turns around to face us and exclaims "Oh my God! Do you guys like Twilight? Oh my God! I am going to see it like three times today I love it so much!". Not kidding folks. I wanted to laugh and tried to think back to a time when I was young and was so excited about something so cheesy. The only movies I watched like crazy were "Matrix" and The Doors movies with Val Kilmer. I still don't believe them to be cheesy. I stand by my many viewings of them to this day.

The previews roll and as usual I see nothing that I think would be worth coming back to see. I've been in a bit of a movie slump. I just can't get into them. Why was I here to watch Twilight again? I'm going to blame it on Emilie.

I could describe the whole movie but I won't. Let me just tell you though, I had to supress the urge to laugh out loud at parts that weren't supposed to be funny. The only thing that got me through was knowing that I would have been mobbed by several thirteen year olds if I ruined this movie for them by laughing at it the whole time. Instead I just kept hitting Emilie in the leg when I wanted to laugh. Sorry for the bruises Em.

Edward was all wrong. All wrong. He was to serious. The acting was horrible. It made me laugh. I get that in the book he was intense at times but I don't think he cracked a smile in the whole movie. He was not how I pictured him at all.

Bella was how I pictured her. The problem I had was not with her or the acting, but just her relationship with Edward in the movie. It happened so fast. In the book you knew she was thinking about him, trying to decide how she felt and what to do. In the movie you didn't see that. It just happened so fast.

I think some of the roles were filled perfectly.....Esme, Charlie, Alice, Billy Black and even Emmet. These characters actually made me laugh at appropriate times. I was at ease with the movie at those points.

Jasper freaked me out. What the fuck was going on with that hair? He was to intense, much like Edward. He had perhaps one line in the movie. Perhaps he was so uptight because in the book his character feels everything....and is able to change the mood in a room. The movie didn't get that across. It was weak.

I do not know what was up with Rosalie. In the movie she had the attitude she was supposed to have but I didn't picture her character to look like she did in the movie. I won't even go into Jacob. I can't.

There were things that made me happy. The Cullen's house was exactly as I pictured it. The scene where Bella get's the shit beat out of her by James was exactly how I pictured it. But they were not enough to make me a fan of the movies. I know though, that Emilie and I will be there again when the next one comes out. For that, we are idiots.

I don't understand movies these days. I have a strict rule that if I love the book I never see the movie. Always they dissapoint me. I haven't seen a decent movie since Lord of The Rings. Perhaps, my standards are to high.

I think, I shall stick with books. They are always more exciting.
