I got hit on by a guy yesterday while waiting for my bus. He said, "Would you be mad if I holla'd at cha?" (Yes, he was black.) And at first I was like, "Umm... what?"
O_____o;; Very odd.
Anyway~ I got home at 5:08. Practically did nothing. T___T We ate dinner at 6:40. Tuna and Pringles~ Mmm~~~ Then my dad took off at 7 to get gas. He gave my brother and I a ride to the theater but didn't stay. On the way there we had a rather STUPID argument about vampires. No, please read this.
He says, "The vampire archetype is center around them surviving by drinking human, human blood. Not pig's blood or any other type of blood; it has to be human." ¬_¬ But... why? Why can't they change? Have humans not learned to survive on tofu; do we not have vegetarians? Is it so unrealistic to have vampires evolve like humans do?
Before I go on too much, I'm stopping.
Anyway~ we got to the theater, got our tickets and went in. It was probably the most packed I've ever seen it. We still managed to get good seats in our small, unknown theater. ← This made the difference.
We came in one commercial before it started because quite honestly, my brother didn't want to be there and so I paid for his ticket and snacks as compensation.
The movie was pretty close to the book-as much as a MOVIE can be. We all have to remember that the movie will NEVER be as good as the book; your imagination will always be better than what can actually be produced.
I personally thought a lot of stuff was stuff illogically into one scene. The 20 questions was kind of paired with when he comes back and actually talks to her during biology. Stuff like that. I mean... it could've been a bunch of different scenes. They didn't really have to stuff them together. But they did and it wasn't bad it just made it seemed a little too rushed.
Best scene: The Baseball. Hands down. Oh, it was just so awesome.
The fight scene between James and Edward was pretty sweet too, but... man, baseball. And Charley was incorporated into the hospital scene with Tyler and he made it AWESOME.
Worse scene: Hmm... honestly, hard to pick. Probably one of the more laaaaaaame scenes. Oh!! Edward's body glitter skin. *LAUGH!*
Best line: Edward and Bella are in the restaurant after she's nearly attacked by the Frat Boys. Edward is reading some minds and sums up what they're thinking. "Money. Sex. Money. Sex. ...Cat."
I turned to my brother and said, "Eww~~ I don't want to know."
Worse line: Hmm... again, something laaaaaaaaaame.
Honestly, I thought Bella not narrating some of the scenes was lacking. They also kind of missed a bunch of the sarcastic back-and-forth moments between Bella and Edward which was actually my favorite part of the book. *frown*
Don't expect "Decode" by Paramore until the VERY end. There is no extra scenes or anything at the end, we stayed till the VERY last second. EMBRY had NO talking scenes at all. TT____________TT I was kind of looking forward to that. I saw him in another video and nada. Also, in this movie, no Quil. They set up the end for the sequel PERFECTLY so I'd say expect it. (I really want to the see the second actually. MOAR wolves! And no, I'm Switzerland: I like 'em both. Just not for the same reasons.)
I endured minimal fangirling, thank GOD. A little in the beginning, and some whooping during the kiss scene. There was cheering for the fights (yay!) and some kick-ass lines.
Yeah... Can't think of anything else so... I guess I'll give my rating:
★★★★★
It was really hard to give it that. Really hard. You have no idea. I would've have given it 4, maybe, but even my brother wanted to give it 5. The baseball scene; I'm sure that's what it was.
Seriously, if you haven't read the book, you probably couldn't stand to watch all the CHEEZE. But when shit gets leaked, see the BASEBALL SCENE, AMG.
If there's anything else you want to know, comment. I'll screen 'em so you guys don't spoil anything for each other.
