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!
