Twilight: Avoid it like the Plague
I can't believe I went to see "Twilight" last night. No, I have not read the books, but my boyfriend Aaron has, and he is the one that really wanted to go. We left the theater; it was so terrible. We left the moment the two of them laid down in the grass and flowers together because, as we all know, that's when in Final Fantasy games the characters are essentially having sex. Lay down in flowers= Oops! They had sex.
Okay, kidding, but that's what we likened it to as we were talking about it when we left. Honestly though, what a terrible movie. There was all this silence, unnecessary music, and then crappy lines and no build-up. According to Aaron the movie was basically a CliffNotes version of Twilight. There was no drama, no nothing, just a couple flashes here and there of action (like two seconds where someone gets attacked and another two seconds where a car is speeding. How lame.). Everything was ridiculously over exaggerated and painful.
As I told Aaron in the car, I am glad he paid for the tickets, but I am really sorry that we paid to go see that. Putting up with that movie really does not convince me to read the book. But hey, what do I know, apparently it did 70+ million in the theaters because of all the other people that were fooled.
