Eclipse

The idea that people can become so hyped up about movies like the Twilight Saga and the Harry Potter series is beyond me. I’ve never stood in line for hours for a midnight showing of a movie. I haven’t read any of the books, but I have seen both movies and I probably will see Eclipse – just not in theaters.

Last night, the midnight launch of Eclipse earned over $30 million in 4,000 theaters. New Moon had only earned $26.3 Million.

Naturally, I knew that most of the news I would be reading about today were going to be about Twilight. I expected to hear the craziest stories. The first one that I saw included a video with this still:

The headline read: Angry Twilight Fans Rip Chicago Ridge Theater Projector After Projector Fail.

Believable right? It was Twilight, so I can imagine the crazed fans doing something like this. Just look at that woman’s manic eyes! After watching the video, I realized I did not see any psychotic fans ripping into a projector though that would have been AWESOME. My dyslexia/excitement got the best of me though because I realized the headline actually read Angry ‘Twilight’ Fans Rip Chicago Ridge Theater After Projector Fail.

Oh my bad.

Let’s Talk: New Moon

I’ve never been a Twilight fan, but I’ve never been opposed to it either. I tried it out. I read 20 pages of the first book and watched the first movie. I’m curious to see how the story line goes so I will continue to watch the movies, but in no way do I find myself even remotely enjoying it.

One scene in particular made me laugh a little bit to myself. I was watching this w/ my mother by the way, and there’s that one scene where KStew approaches the shirtless men w/ her ‘tude and then BAM! out of nowhere… JACOB.

My mom nonchalantly says: What happened to animal activists? I’m gonna call them.

Anyways watching the movie tonight brought up a few questions I had:

Why is there no consistency in the movie? Scenes coming out of nowhere, nothing feels like it is organized that well… it’s a little hard to watch.
The man-bear dogs are so cute!
After that grueling fight between Jacob and the shirtless man, everything was resolved with a “sorry?” Talk about drama…
The soundtrack to the movie is so good. Death Cab for Cutie AND Lykke Li? It’s too bad the music can’t save the movie.
Do you ever feel that Bella puts herself in the worst situations? She’s practically asking for it.
Bella commenting on Jacob’s body heat, “You’re like your own sun.” WHAT a pickup line.
Bella and Jacob – such a tease
Romeo and Juliet reference? Is that really necessary?
Edward…be more emo please. Also, there was not enough of him in this movie. More Rob less Kstew please.
Kristen Stewart – I dare you to produce one complete sentence without a gasp of air, breaks in between, or stuttering.

So excited for Eclipse!

Enjoy this parody from Guillermo on Jimmy Kimmel from a scene out of the New Moon trailer. I lul’ed. It’s supposed to be dubbed for fans in Latin America, but uh, it’s still in English, so no worries there.
