Twilight

[therumjournals]

OH MY GOD i think i might accidentally like this movie :-/



omg, you guys my 16-year old self has totally taken over my body and made me love brooding, awkward, creeper, "protective", skinny-cheeked, crazy-styled-hair Edward Cullen with his barely repressed rage/lust thing going on (okay maybe that last part's more my current self). i only wish that his face wasn't so flat and weird-looking. and that he didn't make such weird expressions. and that he wasn't wearing terrible white makeup + blush + lipstick.

everything kind of went downhill after the sparkling. or maybe after the effed up speed-running up the mountain. basically everything involving trees/woods was terrible. but then it got better(?) after the baseball game(?) and i don't even know.

LOL @ the internal orgasm thingies they kept having at the beginning. that was disturbing and awkward. also, way not enough making out in this movie.

OMG, I almost forgot - PETER FACINELLI AS PAPA CULLEN yaaaaaaay (AKA Mike from Can't Hardly Wait AKA Jenny Garth's husband). Yummmmmmmmm :-D Also, I SEE YOU NINA FROM 24 playing Bella's mom!! Also Alice and Jasper are precious. Oh, and I totally want to live in their house. An OMG if I was 16 my nonstop daydream would have been to live with like 5 "teenage" vampire "siblings" including one that was my boyfriend. Okay, I might have to have that daydream tomorrow during some meetings...

So I was watching this with my husband, here's one of our conversations:
Edward: You are my life now, Bella.
D: But, he's undead, so he actually has no life.
Me: So he basically just said "you're nothing to me?"
D: Exactly.

Me (after the movie): Wow, I'm embarrassed to say I actually didn't hate that movie. What did you think?
D: It was good!



Ha ha, so we are now putting New Moon at the top of the Netflix list. NOOOOOOOOOOO! ;-D

My confession? I used to LOVE Twilight. It was a fun, easy read. Back before it became insane and all the fangirl made me want to stab them in the eye. The movie is hysterical to make fun of . . buuuut . . totally not gonna lie.

I love th last five minutes :)

i never read the books. i had them recommended to me by some friends, and then highly UN-recommended by, like, the entire internet. i had a feeling i wouldn't hate the movies, but i honestly had no idea. so yeah, i would put it in the entertaining category.

*secretly read Twlight like seventy times before it exploded and became way less cool*

I don't care. That baseball scene is totally boss. But like... I can't sit through and watch the movies without totally making fun of it.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

oh yeah, i was totally judging it the entire time. my thoughts during the movie were like "okay, okay, this part isn't that bad...oh. oh dear. that just happened. this is terrible. ooooh, something pretty!"

[my-badgers-27.livejournal.com]

I totally went and saw New Moon at midnight and then watched it on DVD. Idk I think think Bela is such a whiny bitch but I do love Emmett and the Cullens.

Ahahaha that was my reaction when I saw the movie too. I was like:

...I don't hate this. In fact, my inner 13-year-old... kind of digs it. OMG WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? THE SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.

And then everyone I knew made fun of me forever. The end.

:p

So anyway, yeah. I don't judge.

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

i've been judging myself for liking that movie. oh well ;-)

Hee! I'll confess I read the books before I even knew what fandom was and I liked them well enough (except for the last one; that successfully cured my insomnia for about three months because I fell asleep as soon as I picked it up). I didn't mind the movies but the lighting made everything seem so dreadfully dull and depressing.

Also, just because I can: TEAM JACOB!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

eh, jacob's not my type. actually, maybe i should wait until after i watch new moon to make a statement like that...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I tried so many times to read Twilight and I just could not get past the first few pages. Boring, trite, just ugh! But not wanting to be completely out of the loop of popular culture, I did watch the movie. When the sparkly vampire thing happened, I gagged and howled laughing. Not even remotely interested is seeing New Moon. Well, maybe naked chested Taylor but... NO. JUST NOOOOOO!!

[therumjournals.livejournal.com]

yeah, he's not really my type. i really do like the skinny cheeks. TEAM EDWARD!

About the best things I can say about the movie is that 1) it's madly entertaining in an MST3K sort of way, and 2) it's very, very pretty.

Also, as soon as I saw your icon I got this mental image of a whole new crop of emo teenagers talking about The Lonely Ones while the older generation goes, "No! No, they don't . . . they don't sparkle! You're wearing far too many rhinestones! Noooooo, this has all gone so terribly wrong!"

i will indoctrinate my children into the world of buffy/angel and they will shun twilight and laugh in its face.

Dude this sounds eerily familiar. I watched it with my BFF and we lambasted it the whole time but there were things that were undeniably great about it AND PLUS it was filmed in (and INCREDIBLY true to) my home, western Washington state. So hearts from me. Plus I love crazy RPattz, he's just so charmingly eccentric.
