Unless I've told you specifically, people probably don't know that I'm a Twilight fan. I'm not crazy obsessed like some of my students are, but I was/am a big enough of a fan to tackle a viewing on opening night.
I was going to try to watch the midnight showing (to try to avoid the tweens) but I lost track of days...and thought it was only Thursday when it really turned out to be Friday. Well, there goes the midnight showing idea.
I went to the Renaissance Theater in Alhambra about 45 minutes before the movie was scheduled to begin. Of course, there was a line, but it actually wasn't that bad.
Movies are usually not better than the book, and this was no exception. The movie was OK, but the eye candy (ahem Robert Pattinson) was worth the cost of the two movie tickets. :)
