I can finally remove the countdown from my sidebar. YES, the movie finally has arrived. I saw it Friday afternoon with my BFF Jen. Jen bought the tickets in advance and we picked them up 2 hours ahead of time to avoid the crowd. We really didn't know what to expect. When we entered the theater a half hour ahead of the movie start there were a handful of school girls, tweens. But by the movie start, it was packed and the energy in the room was incredible. Everytime they squealed I tried my best to contain myself b/c I wanted to squeal too! The movie was great, much too fast and understandably condensed since the book was 500 pages. I wouldn't have minded it being a mini-series to capture all of those moments between Edward and Bella. BUT at least it looks like there will be another movie!!! I can't wait to put a new counter on my blog.
OK, so why are women over 25 embarrassed to admit that they like Twilight?? Really, what's not to like? Seriously, it's well written, easy to read, and it's a LOVE story. Why not admit that although we may love our husbands/boyfriends, we all envy the deep passion shared by Edward and Bella. She is his life. Wouldn't we all like to be put on the pedestal at least for a little while? It's also very sweet and innocent and reminiscent of of new love, that butterfly feeling. I know I relived those moments as I read.
So, come on, join in with me here, you can do it, "I - LOVE - THE - TWILIGHT - SERIES!!"
(don't you feel better now?)
