I am furious at the 3 ladies in the RV right now. They just made me watch Twilight. I hate to classify myself as such but I’m a bit of a movie snob. I catch myself calling movies “films” and my Netflix queue is so full of art house films (See? There I go again) I might as well own stock in the Sundance Channel. I secretly scoff at my husband for enjoying Dumb and Dumber and Caddyshack and I recently went with a friend to watch The Proposal and rolled my eyes so hard, I almost threw my balance out of the chair and into the aisle. I have no patience for summer blockbuster movies and if a comedy isn’t written and directed by Christopher Guest, I usually don’t bother. I don’t like revealing that borderline pretentious side of myself. I’m not proud of it, I don’t like being judgemental but I’m afraid there is not much that can be done about it at this point.
I say all of that to say this; I agreed to watch Twilight with the girls (me being the only first timer) prepared to pick apart the horribly written dialogue and laugh at the awful acting. Oh and I did plenty of that but….holy smokes!...I LOVED IT! It is solid on a level I can only imagine. It’s so much cooler than I thought which, of course, means I’m way less cool than I thought. My level of excitement to read the books and see the next movie is pretty embarrassing.
Robert Pattinson, you just found one of the 5 people in the world who doesn’t think you’re sexy and made them think you are sexy! I mean, I kind of despised the kid and never really understood the attraction. It's always been this way in my actual real life: whoever I hate, eventually I hate them so much that I grow to love them, because hate gives you wrinkles.
And Kris’ face looks like he just ate a handful of lemons as we begin to play it again for the second time in 2 days.
