Cause I do. Opening Night style. (Okay, so not a MIDNIGHT opening night showing).
I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. The leads were well cast. Edward was the right mix of intimidating and attractive. Bella avoided sounding cheesy. The rain was a character in and of itself, and the chemistry was spot-on. My favorite part was the sharp, collective intake of breath in the theater when Edward, and then when Jacob, came onscreen for the first time. Priceless.
All of the women I saw it with initially had a 'that's not MY Edward' reaction. But by the end? We are all patently twitterpated.
We headed to cold stone after the movie let out, which is where I heard the following gem out of the mouth of a gum-chewing pre-teen aglow with Twilight fuzzies: "Edward is the hottest thing I have ever seen and I am NOT exaggerating." Just saying.
I definitely recommend reading the book before seeing the movie. You know how most movie translations leave you saying, 'the book was so much better'? In this case, it didn't feel like they were in competition. It felt like the movie was a delicious addition to my enjoyment of the text, not a replacement vehicle.
Future Twilight Fan (who looks not so sure and who now--finally--has a bigger carseat).
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

A movie I'll pass on but glad you enjoyed it! I can not believe how big she's getting - what a doll!
Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
I was pleanasntly suprised with the movie. I went Friday night and it was acutally pretty fun to be in the theater with all the screaming teenage girls:)
I love that picture of Eva! She is so darling. I can't get enough of that baby!
I love dropping in on your blog from time to time-you have the best way of saying things!! I agree with you totally on Twilight-I really enjoyed it as well!! I also loved the picture you included-I've never seen that one and I like it the most!! Your little girl is a real cutie!!
Loved the movie. Did not love the book. I'm really looking forward to movie #2, as I seem to be the only existing member of Team Jacob. (Though, my heart did soften for Edward by the end of book 4.)
