i went to watch twilight today right after work. after all these months of waiting, i finally got to see it. my mom and i went to the mall to watch it (the movie place there is called edwards, haha), even though there is a movie theater right down the road from us (but that one is older and smaller). there was a small line to buy tickets but thankfully, the theater wasn't very packed. at first i was a little worried about the people we were sitting next to, they were a group of teenage girls...i was afraid that i was going to be irritated by them throughout the movie but luckily they weren't bad.anyway, i was very glad to see that they played the harry potter trailer. though i'm still bummed it was pushed way back to july. wasn't it suppose to come out today, right? i just wished they showed more neville, love him (though i don't think he was in the trailer at all). i can't wait till the last movie...to watch neville kick ass. oh, one of the other trailer was for this super scary looking movie, unborn or something. i don't think it should be played before twilight, i just think younger kids will go see the movie and be totally scared by the trailer...ok, maybe it's just me who just doesn't like scary movies. i think cam's in it, which could explain why they were showing it before twilight.
finally the movie got underway. i enjoyed it. sure there were somethings i didn't like. but than again there were a lot that i did. it's always interesting when books get turned into movies. i tend to lend more for the book version than the movie but it's mainly because the books are always more detailed. plus, you get to play it out for yourself. there were many moments i found myself thinking, "hmm, that's not how i pictured it." but it worked out. i guess you just need to remember it's an adaptation of the book. what i did find pretty cool was how the soundtrack worked into the movie, like when they used rpattz's song in the port angeles scene, it really fit and made it even more sweet. oh and the iron and wine song playing in the prom scene. and the use of muse in the baseball scene. ok so the baseball scene in probably hands down my favorite. i just wished jasper and emmett were in it more...though i guess they aren't in the book that much. but i just love them. funny, i like jasper a lot in the book but in the movie i like emmett more. i think it's purely for the fact that i like kellan.
well, i already have plans (with myself, haha) to go watch it again sometime next weekend. i think the last time i watched a movie in the theater more than once was either 8-mile or a walk to remember, which ever came out later. i think i might re-read the book before i go again, maybe. my mom liked it too. she had thought it was going to be scary because, well you know, it has vampires. she said it was good since she didn't feel sleepy during it. side-note: when i was looking up times for the movie, it listed twilight under horror (among other genres) and i thought that was pretty laughable.
oh and two awesome things happened after the movie. one, i saw this poster near the ladies room:
i want it (or him, which ever)and the second thing was that i learned that they have one of those $1 coin machines that have the hello kitty phone charms in them. of course i got one. this series is a beach theme one (like the one in riverside) and now i need to collect the entire series, haha.
of course with a huge opeaning it comes to no surprise that new moon is now a go. although, new moon is probably my least favorite of the saga...mainly because edward is gone for like half the book, it's be interesting to watch with the whole werewolf thing play out. although, i started liking jacob in the last book when i saw him in the movie i couldn't help but dislike him again, oh well. i hope they'll be able to do the whole twilight saga...though i think they'll need to shoot it one after another, lord of the rings style, since the characters can't age.
till later.
