I strongly considered buying a white hanes t-shirt and writing "Team Jacob!" in pink puff paint on it. And actually wearing it to the theatre. I assure you, I would not have been the only one wearing a twilight themed shirt.
But I didn't. I maintained at least SOME of my dignity...which was quickly crushed by the ticket counter woman who, when I asked for two tickets, looked at me with a judgemental look on her face and said with disgust, "two adults??"
If only she knew that I read all four twilight books in only a week (I basically did nothing else and my ex-boyfriend found the books in text file format so I could read them at work without anyone being the wiser.) That my friends, is dedication. And slightly tragic.
Anyway, the movie did not disappoint. Naturally, the book is always better than the movie, but I look at the movies as just another way to indulge my inner twelve year old and try to keep them seperate from the books.
Mainly because when I read the books, I did not picture Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson. Kristen Stewart is too much of a twat with a man voice and there is nothing remotely attractive about Robert Pattinson to me. Taylor Lautner however, was more than I imagined. Yes, I'm 29 and would do dirty dirty dirty things to that boy. Hey, he's legal.
So is Justin Bieber almost, but that's a story for another post.
I think we should bring puff paint back. After years of trying hopelessly to keep pictures of me in elementary school off of facebook, I have just decided to embrace my awkward inner twelve year old. Does that make wanting to do things to Taylor more or less inappropriate?
ReplyDeleteI totally got the judgement too when I went. NBD, just an almost-30-year old woman paying $8 to see a movie about sparkly vampires...
ReplyDeleteI think Kristin Stewart is "ok" as Bella, she gets more annoying to me as time goes by, I SWEATED RPatz at first, but now his good looks have been totally trumped by the glory that is that little beefcake Tay Tay. (We are on a nickname basis. In my mind.) Worst casting of all: Charlie Swan. WTF??? He's all hot? Whatever.
We were also totally getting the stank eye from the couple next to us at brunch last weekend during our Twilight-themed discussion -- nbd. And as someone who still totally jams out to The Spice Girls and alternates "Veronica Mars," "Gilmore Girls", "Gossip Girl" and "Pretty Little Liars" as my "I am home alone" viewing, I say rock on with your 12 year old self. Or with TL, because I have a theory that boy can ROCK ifyaknowwhatimean.
ReplyDeleteI just never got into Twilight. I *almost* read the books, but I despise Kristen Stewart so much that the thought of picturing her as Bella for an entire series was just too much to handle.
ReplyDeleteRock your Twilight girl! We all have our things. Now, please give me more info about text format books to read at work. Thanks.
