New Moon; I’m one of THOSE guys.

Published by under Uncategorized

Before you judge, let me just say that I don’t:

–          Squeal the second I see Robert Pattinson or Taylor Lautner

–          Plan on getting a Twilight quote via tattoo

–          Start freaking out the second I see a silver Volvo

–          Plan on going to a Twilight convention

–          OR spend hours on end on Twilight discussion forums

 That, is a bit much. I do, whole-heartedly love the series though. I discovered it through my sister way before it became popular. My guess is all the Twihards ruined it for me.

 I will admit, that I have done the following, and there are NOO regrets:

–          Dressed up as Jacob Black for the first movie (there were quite a few haters, everyone was still Team Edward)

–          Own every book in Hardcopy, each of which that have been read 2 – 4 times

–          Spent a bit too much of my time pondering what would happen in Eclipse and Breaking Dawn

–          Temped to travel down south to Forks and Port Angeles

–          Visited the cullen house in west van (and boy do I want it)

 So yesterday my sister and I went to see the movie during the 4:20 viewing over at Scotiabank theatre. We had to deal with a lot of screaming kids and teens, but that was to be expected.

 Verdict? Better then expected. The budget from what I hear was twice that of Twilight, the bland acting from Kristen Stewart seemed to have improved, and the graphics with the wolves was simply amazing. They added a bunch of scenes that weren’t in the books, as usual, but they added to the effect. There’s a good chance I’ll be going again soon with some girls from my sister floor; since too many guys aren’t comfy enough in their own skin to go.

 

And since I’m rockin the short fohawk now, I’m team Jacob; cause running with 10 ft tall wolves is so much cooler.
