yeah...i saw it

think what you will of me, that i actually saw twilight on opening night. i can take it. despite the fact that i only read one book in the series and actually didn't like it, i was semi intrigued to see the movie. but when i'm invited to see it with a bunch of my favorite friends, of COURSE i won't say no!



on friday night, we went to a tiny theater in downtown which i had almost forgotten existed -- due to it's, shall we say, "lower class" status (our special tickets were only $6.50 and popcorn was like $3 -- welcome to LA's version of the dollar theater!) i am pretty sure we were in the only non-sold out twilight showing on the planet.



it was still pretty packed though (with all girls, of course) and i was pleasantly surprised by the movie. sure, it was just as disgustingly cheeseball as expected, but it was still the same great eye candy and storyline. the only difference between me and 98% of the female population is that my reaction to the corny stuff is to gag, not sigh and tear up, so i think i giggled a little more than the average movie patron. movies like this are SO fun to see in theaters though, because people are so into it. i loved hearing everyone's simultaneous reactions, laughs, awws, etc.

i thought the actors did a pretty good job; i still don't know who kristen stewart is though and i absolutely hated that grandma sweater she wore to prom. edward was pretty cute but at times i was so distracted by how ginormous his head is that i was distracted away from the rest of him. also red lipstick is not really his thing. all in all, an entertaining film. though i told brandon he'd probably self-destruct if he had to sit through the whole thing -- this is not a man's movie, people.

and the best part of all was that i got to hang with my LA peeps. i even got to meet little tanner vandermyde, an event that was LONG in the making. here's me and kinohi, whit, baby tanner, jamie, kristi...uh, and some other girls i met that night :)
