Twilight [spoiler alert!]

Well, I recently got back from seeing the Twilight movie. I must say, I was not all that impressed. I've read all the books, which were okay, but the movie...it was like the book only very condensed, more confusing, with less character development, and very disappointing sparkles-in-the-sun effects. Seriously, I expected some epic sparkles. But no, it just looked like he was sweaty or had been rolling around in salt or something. Sigh. I guess to compensate for all that they tried to squeeze in as many studs as possible. I mean, as if a cast full of gorgeous vampires isn't enough (though the gorgeosity of Emmet is debatable...) they had to make the werewolf pretty, too! Hearing my friends giggle and sigh over Jacob got very tiresome. And another thing about Jacob: THAT WAS NOT JACOB! HE DID NOT LOOK LIKE JACOB! ARGH! And I still can't get past the fact that they got Robert Pattinson to play Edward. I swear, throughout the movie I would look at him and the first thing that would pop into my head was "Cedric Diggory". But I s'pose that's just my Potter-headedness overriding. Grumble. Ah well, it was a slightly above-average way to spend 2-odd hours. SLIGHTLY. Though, to give it credit, I did enjoy the slightly twisted performance of Cam Gigandet, who played James, the sadistic, masochistic tracker vampire baddie. He was pretty cool and bloodthirsty. But, of course, they had to throttle him and twist his head off and burn him to pieces at the end of it all. Nyar. Ah well, c'est la vie. I must admit though, Alice did impress me with her snazzy twisting-heads-off action. Tee hee. Eeeeeeep, that there was kind of creepy, wasn't it? I s'pose I should go now. Arrivederci.
