TWILIGHT.
it was bad. the movie was meh. there's a completely unbelievable romance. a 100 year old vampire with the looks of an 18 year old is apparently as emotionally evolved as an 18 year old too. seriously. he's got the jones for a 17 year old. and there's nothing particular about her? wait. there is something particular. he can't read her mind. where have I heard that before? OH YEAH: TRU BLOOD. wtf? The rest of the movie is fine. passable. ok. however, all of this was absolutely meaningless because I literally cringed and the hair stood up on the back of my neck when all the (little?) girls in the theater reacted affectionately and/or cheered at times throughout the movie. wtf? that's like cheering during THE PHANTOM MENACE. I get it when the lucasfilm logo comes across the screen. but what the fuck about the movie gives ANYONE cause to cheer? seriously? and I'm told the movie is a shite adaptation. As vampire movies go, it's obviously romantic in the Anne Rice vein. it felt like a good (not great) tv series, and that's about as good as you're going to get out of this cast (dunno about the other talent involved). bottomline: there's much better for fans of any number of genres that this movie dances around.
I was warned to see BOLT! instead, but I didn't wanna see it in 3D, and the 2D times weren't convenient.
Life ducks, and you sigh.
