This is two months after the fact but I'm still gonna write about it.
I took Reyna to see the wonder that is Twilight opening night. She had told me all about the book I couldn't have stopped her from rambling if I wanted to, she is a complete bookworm anyway, but she's loved these books since before the phenom happened. She got a lot of her friends hooked and now I actually think she is a little over hearing people tell her things about it every second of the day, lol. So we went and since I already had the background story, I think I knew what to expect.
Honestly, I felt like a kid again. Not just because I sat in a row that was all her friends (ages 12-14) or that the theatre was packed with adolescents. The movie was just a sweet movie. Very fairy tale, it's going to make every little girl look at love and boys in that very idealistic way. I think that is such a great thing, I remember that when I was a kid, I thought all that was gone. It was a lovely little love story, I guess and I think although some of the scenes seemed 'hot' to me as a 32 year old lady, I don't think as a kid they always got it. In fact it was pointed out to me, by another 12 year old there that there were 'only 3 kissing scenes in the whole movie!' I told her, 'ok little hormone that's enough'
I mean there was the obvious, the directing wasn't that great sometimes the makeup looked like bad stage pancake makeup, and of course where you could obviously see things like Edward's contact lenses; but overall I think it went well. I thought the actors were good choices for the parts. Reyna and I keep hearing, 'they need to fire Jacob, he was awful'. OK, he had like 5 lines in the movie and his storyline in the book (which I have finally read) wasn't much more than that either, if at all. His description in the book was, 'bronze skin and sleek black hair' doesn't that fit the description of the kid portraying him? And then the big, 'they're gonna fire him, because he was so bad' when it really would have been because the features of the character changes so much from the first and second book that they thought about changing the actor, not because he sucked. Alice, I thought was cute. Her description in the book was sorta of 'pixie-ish' I think that was what the actress looked like. Rosalie, I thought was good too, she was very pretty, voluptuous and looked like a bitch that I imagined her to be. Carlysle, the only thing bad I could say about him was the makeup. The 'bad' vampires? Well, the men, were NOT as they described in the book so that annoyed me a little bit, but I thought the girl was a good choice. As for Edward, well, I think Reyna had a little more hopes for his casting, she kept going on and on about how he was supposed to 'perfect'. Perfect skin, flawless, blemish free, no scars, nothing. I don't think anyone could have played him to her expectations, though, she'll still be on Team Edward for life lol.
There's my review, all in all a nice movie coming to dvd in March I hear and filming for the second begins next month I hear also, guess I better start reading book 2.
In other frivolous-ness, ha I watched Bromance this morning while I was getting ready for work. Seriously, love this show. Brody Jenner is such a douche, so what does that make those kids that want to hang out with him?
Come on, Femi? He was a 'hyena', that cat is just a mess. He's got to be great for the camera though, they will not get rid of him for a while I suspect. I don't think he'd fare as well on a show like I love NY, such a loser I think even those people could wipe the floor with him. Jered? He reminds me of some people I know from when I was much younger, all he's got in him is to call people a 'girl' or 'gay' oooo you're wicked cool with calling the boys out aren't ya? Glad he's gone. The Filipino guy, what kind of jokes were you telling? Poor kid, then he was crying about it after,,,awww you gave it a shot at least. Gary? Is that the dancer? I still like him, I'm not sure why, but I'm hoping he'll make it far, although I don't think he'll make it past the next week or too. I'm seeing Brody picking the guy from Boston, or hmmm the other guy. When the dancer was trying to show them some dance moves, they were not bad, didn't poke too much fun and gave it a shot. They didn't care if they looked bad, they had fun with it, I think that was great. Can't wait for next week's episode, maybe I'll remember the names better by then.
I also watched Jon & Kate last night, they went to the dentist. Is it just me or do they look like a lot bigger only 6 months after the last dentist visit? Are they sure it's only been 6 months? I know kids grow fast, I mean please I have two, I know they grow quick, but that just seemed like they were much younger. Kate, as per usual, stopped Jon from asking Hannah a question in the interview couch, because she just needed to interrupt him with something MUCH more important I guess. She told Jon he needed to do a better job of brushing their teeth, I guess it's too much for her to do or something. Yeah the dentist sure did have a lot of different flavors of toothpaste didn't she? And Kate, as long as we're correcting folks, I think the scented gloves, should be called 'scented gloves' not 'flavored gloves', am I right? Those were cool too, I've never seen them. Then they took the twins to the orthodontist, where Maddy refused to go first so Kate told Cara to. Cara started to say, "why do you always…." Sometimes it sucks being the one that behaves and listens you get the short end of the stick when the other ones act out.
I've got some more catching up to do on my other programs, I can't wait, have I mentioned I love dvr. I'm excited to see True Beauty, and Momma's Boys.
