I've been trying to narrow down something to write about this week.
Topic I decided on: Twilight - now on video!
Bill and I purchased and watched this a week ago. We're both sitting there going - "wow-was it really this awful the first time?" Before you get in a twist about that comment...I'm not saying it was a bad movie. I just....I mean....SHEESH...did everyone really look so constipated the first time I watched this (Jasper excepted because, Yes, he did)? Conversation nearly always punctuated by awkward pauses, lip biting, and unfinished sentences? Did you KNOW that they cut two of the scenes that portray Edward and Bella actually finishing their sentences and you know - teasing and enjoying each other?? Ugh! The end of the movie was enjoyable. Bill and I really didn't remember things being that bad the first time though...probably because we were so thrilled about getting out of the house together without baby - for the first time since we had moved to Georgia (1 month at the time) we were in the mindset of giddy awkward teenager-ness.
We haven't been out together without Miriam for five months now. So, when we do get out, if it's to a movie, and if it is totally awful - I won't even notice!!
By the way, if I could, I would go see Star Trek AND X-Men Origins: Wolverine BOTH TOMORROW. These are not allowed to be awful, only AWESOME. But again, would probably be so thrilled I wouldn't notice.
That all said I am still excited about New Moon.
I totally relate. It's a miracle to go anywhere without kids. especially right now. And yes, I think the movie was that bad, only because there was so much missing. It really could have been 10x better. Maybe it's because we read the books first and had higher expectations. Like you though, I'm looking forward to the next one, if only it's to see how bad they butcher it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, we will be in the Tri-cities for the whole weekend June 5-7. Ben and Tracy will be blessing their baby boy then. We can't wait to see you guys!
