I finally got around to seeing Twilight today. Er, yesterday by now actually. It was... well. It was almost unfairly better than the book. I mean, don't get me wrong, it totally lived up to the hilarity I expected, but I just couldn't get over how they turned it into an almost-story with characters that had personalities. Freaky.

There were moments when I actually laughed out loud at how ridiculous things were. One instance of this was when Carlisle just walked into the room. MY GOD. He doesn't even look normal by vampire standards and he's supposed to blend in with humans every day? Other things that made me lol? Pretty much anything that Edward did or said.

On the subject of Edward, if you've read the books he's apparently supposed to be the pinnacle of absolute beauty and perfection, right? So what's the logical thing to do when casting him? Take a decently handsome guy (lol hair) and make him as unnattractive-looking as possible, DUH! It's almost cruel considering how they made Mr. Totally Nondescript and Not Remarkable in the Slightest Way Baddie Vamp kind of ...Oh, wow hot. The director also must think it's very sexy to be on the verge of tears 24/7 because seriously? I wanted to hand Edward a tissue, CONSTANTLY. He looked about three seconds from bawling from start to finish.

I can't say too much about any of the supporting cast because they had about two lines each. The majority of the acting was terribad and the scenes were dumb because the movie had to do what was in the book, unfortunately. But they improved on a few scenes, too. Off the top of my head I can say the Big Fight scene was a lot better than I expected and I actually covered my mouth in suprise at some bits. Mainly "Holy shit leg" and "holy shit HEAD!"

In conclusion, if I had to summarize Twilight in three words I would have to go with So Much Slowmo. So taken in by the epic slowmotion was I that I walked out to the car that way. Not only that, but because of all the slowmo walking scenes they used in the movie now there's none left for any other movie, ever. That's it, guys. All out.


Oh, and definitely go read Twilight in Fifteen Minutes. Lolarious.

Walking around the neighborhood late last night, Alec and I discussed what sort of things one could yell out in a theatre during Twilight to best annoy Twihards. After about 3 whole minutes of deliberation, the winner was "This is the worst Harry Potter movie I've ever seen!"
