Sigh. I went to the midnight premiere of Eclipse tonight. I didn't actually know it was coming out today, but then my friend called with a spare ticket and you know, it's so ridiculous and horrid and I hate most of the message and I really worry about what it's doing to our young people, but I do enjoy the Twilight series as sheer guilty fun, so I went.

Every single close up shot of Robert Pattinson made him look like the Incredible Hulk, only sparkly instead of green. BUT. This one was totally the best of the series so far. Much more action, much BETTER action, and also, we get the Revenge of the Supporting Characters. New Rosalie? Is so gorgeous and also she kicks ASS. Emmett? Who doesn't love his cheesy one-liners? Alice is possibly my favorite of all Twilight characters except for mister JASPER JASPER JASPER. Who in this movie SPOKE. He spoke guys, and with an adorably subtle southern accent, and he was badass and cute and totally awesome.

Also, Leah Clearwater was gorgeous and while sort of sidelined as in the book, totally awesome, and omg little baby Seth Clearwater was so freaking adorable.

ALSO ALSO ALSO the movie played up (though not enough, judging by the overall reactions of the 12 year olds behind me) the idea that Bella at least had to think really hard about her decision to be vamped. Like, her mom, for example, has this great scene in which she actually says something more than just 'wow, your bf is clearly your whole world, cool' and that something more is along the lines of 'LIVE'. Her dad (omg Charlieeee) is of course all about the no-vamping, even if he doesn't know it, and my girl Anna Kendrick got to give a great valedictory speech that was all about going out into the world and living and making mistakes and choosing things that you regret and then being able to make new choices. It was beautiful guys. Until, of course, it all devolved into OH NO JACOB KISSED ME BUT I LOVE YOU EDWARD I'LL MARRY YOU IF YOU PROMISE WE'LL HAVE BEAT-ME-UP SEX BUT OH NO JAKE DON'T GO DIE KISS ME BUT EDWARD I REALLY LOVE YOU I'M NOT MEANT FOR THIS WORLD BECAUSE I'M AN UGLY DUCKLING AND ONLY IN YOUR LOVING VAMPIRIC BITE MAY I BECOME THE BEAUTIFUL SWAN (lolololol) I'M MEANT TO BE. Argh. (Also, the screaming. We were in line for three hours and the people would start randomly shrieking MY HEAD owwww. And, people-watching at Twilight premieres is rather hilarious. My favorite was the 12-year-old - I know her so I know she is in fact 12 - with the nose ring, the fur-lined shirt ripped up to show her paw print navel piercing, the high heels, and the poorly-done spray tan. LOLZ.)

Anyway, fun movie. And I got to see both the HP trailer and the Narnia trailer on the big screen, which was FABULOUS. Going to see Toy Story 3 tomorrow and then off into the wilderness to camp out the rest of the week. Woo hooo!

Your review leaves me hopeful about this movie then. My friend wants to drag me to see Eclipse because she has no one else to go with, even though it took me about 2 years to watching the first film and I haven't even seen the second one yet.

So the Narnia trailer is attached to Eclipse too? I suppose that will make the prospect less daunting then if I do have to go. :-)

OMG You have a new trailer icon! Errr, right, I didn't see the first movie, saw the second, New Moon, and found it quite enjoyable as we were busy swilling margaritas smuggled in for the occasion. There was a movie too, but the margaritas were superb.

Shiny VDT icon, yes! I made a few from the trailer but this was the best of the bunch. (Am waiting for new footage because I really want to make an Ed/Lu icon of some sort.)

I think I'll skip movie 2 and go straight to movie 3 for now. On the plus side, if I go with her to see Eclipse, than she may go with me to see Dawn Treader later this year.

It's really quite good, the more I think about it. Still crap, honestly, because it's really difficult to make this story good, IMO. But, I think that Meyer's style of writing actually lends itself well to being adapted for the screen, and this book, while full of all that angsty which one? stuff that I hate, is quite action-y and I love the focus on the supporting cast. So yeah, I'd say go for it. And the Narnia trailer is attached!

Harharhar (points to icon of exact same part of trailer)

Any. Eclipse. LOL. Yeah, I went to the midnight showing too, which no matter the movie would have been fun because the friend I went with is absolutely hilarious to go to midnight showings with because she gets so very excited for everything. Also, she just started watching DW, so we talked about that for a loooong time. Only issue was another of her friends joined us later, which I hated cause the girl has the worst attitude in the world and totally ruined the mood.

But yeah. Movie. I loved the validictorian speech! And I'd read the Bree Tanner novella (in line, haha) so it was neat seeing that incorporated. And there was a scene in with Rob Pat ACTUALLY SMILED. AND HE LOOKED HOT WHEN HE SMILED. And then Bella said something else and the moment was gone forever and it was back to doom-and-gloom Edward.

Afterwards my friends were laughing at the fact that the movie was filled with scream-pauses. Each time there was a great line, there would be a pause in the dialogue for about ten seconds (while the audience screams/laughs/whatevers) before continuing. Hilarious!

And yes, trailers were AWESOME. It was really funny, because I kept telling my friend that I was definitely taking her to Narnia on opening night, and then we sat down, the previews started, and I actually shrieked and pretty much punched her in the arm to make sure she was watching. hahaha

LOL. There were huge shrieks of joy and clapping for the HP trailer, and then the Narnia trailer came on right after it and I squeaked and hit my friend's shoulder and it was *silent*. Kind of embarrassing, but I don't even care.

::facepalm::

...I am thinking about going? But then you can't have alcohol in the theater and last time I did any Twilight watching there was alcohol involved. BUT it would be fun to laugh at anyway???

Go for it! I *wish* there could have been alcohol involved in my viewing of it, but no dice. It was still pretty fun though, and I laughed at the shrieking fangirls and really enjoyed the secondary characters and it was just good brainless fun.

I went to see it a couple days ago and it was SO HORRIBLE but SO FUNNY, I am not really sure where Meyer's head is at. And whhhhhhy does everyone love Bella so? I can't think of a reason to date her, let alone to fall in looooove with her.

It's because she's soooo pretty and soooo adorably klutzy and soooo exotically pale (because she's really meant to be a vampire, so she already has all of their allure, of course) and she smells sooooo good. ARGH.

But yeah. Horrible yet funny is exactly the way to describe it.

Yes but I have met people who are pretty and pale and fall down a lot, and some of them smell pretty nice, and I don't usually obsess over them! WHAT.

Also, I feel like if my FAVORITE DINNER and my girlfriend smelled exactly the same that would be weird and creepy.

alice/jacob? I mean, they can't do the Renesmee thing on screen, right?

LOL, yeah, I feel like it wouldn't be so much a turn-on as an annoyance. "Oh hi, honey, nice to see you...damn, I'm hungry again."

Gosh, I don't even know how they're going to pull off Renesmee. Where will they find a child that precocious? Oh wait, she doesn't exist.
