Twilight Mania

I did go out to see Twilight last night. A group from the ward went; several of us carpooled in and then we had to meet up with the others. That was a trick in itself!

This is what the theater looked like. It was utter chaos and madness. Lots of screaming teenagers and just a mass of hyper humanity all stuffed into this hall. It was showing on 3 screens, and 45 minutes before it started, this is what it looked like.

They opened the doors 30 minutes prior to the 7:55 showing and I honestly thought there might be a stampede, with all the screaming and shoving. (Apparently the police were called for an incident in one of the theaters, but not ours!) My friends and I ducked into the #7 theater, although our tickets were mostly for #1. We had great seats, and settled in to visit till the show started.

Yep, we chatted and giggled and had fun. You can see S wearing her Twilight shirt. They were going to get me one, but I said no.

Me with R & D. We had a great time talking while waiting, and waiting, and waiting. And we waited a lot. At 7:55, a police man came in and told us anyone too rowdy or out of line woul be removed. The employees assured us the movie would start soon..... but it didn't.

I had a great time visiting with D. She is really cool, and I can overlook the fact that she is gorgeous as well, and we can be friends. Still, it was an hour late that the movie finally started. And it had no sound for the first 5 minutes. Grrrr. On the plus side, when the movie was over, they handed out free passes. Yay!

So, what did I think? Not impressed. I liked "Edward" much better as Cedric Diggory. Not attractive in this movie. I had a really hard time with the movie because I did not find Edward attractive at all. Other than that, I think it was good. Some artistic license was taken, but I liked it overall. Okay, so Jacob went a little overboard on the teeth whitener, and a few other minor complaints.... I'll have to watch it again to decide how I really feel about it.
