Twilight (2008)

[keilexandra]

Yes, I saw the Twilight movie. No, it wasn't actually that bad--at least, not as bad as I had expected. Some cheesy dialogue, pitch-perfect Meyer; but good pacing and characterization/acting, a few eye-roll moments that nevertheless kept me engaged. I want to reread New Moon now for its shameless emotional manipulation. Bella's entire story is so ridiculous that I sympathize with her, and I am able to enjoy the story without questioning its (purely cliché) moments.

Thoughts, if you've seen the film as well?

Heh, I kept wondering why Edward's eyes were so shadowed, like he hadn't gotten enough sleep.

Pattinson's staying up late trying to think of ways to get fired. XD

I sort of want to see his Edward after he said that he played the part as a 107-year-old self-hating manic-depressive virgin, but I can get so much entertainment for free by watching the fandom that paying $7 to actually see the movie seems kind of superfluous.

Ha! I can see that. He does it well.
