The Obligatory Twilight Wrap-Up

Of course you’d be expecting it, as everyone has been posting their thoughts on the movie.  I actually just got back from seeing it with my little sister, and I have to be honest - I’ve reverted back to my JTT-loving-any-movie-he’s-in days.  Granted I’m not really in love with the actor… more just the movie in general.  No, it’s not the world’s classiest movie.  No, it’s not a classic in the making.  I guess you could liken it to the whole Harry Potter phenomenon… but, whatever.

I loved it.  I won’t go into details for those who haven’t seen it and want to.  And for those who haven’t seen it and aren’t going to, there really isn’t a point in devulging into details, because you just won’t get it.  The movie - in my eyes - was awesome for those who enjoyed the book for what it was.  Which was just a really great read.  And the movie encompassed that, I think.  I think they did a superb job casting the characters, because - although it took a little while getting used to - once you did, everyone just seemed to fit the part perfectly.  And can I just say that every time Bella was her clutzy self, I grinned because it made me feel better that they were proving clutziness to be an acceptable way to live?  I finally feel understood, mwahaha.

I really hope they decide to make the sequels.  I don’t know if it’s actually been decided yet or not, but the last time I read, I guess it was hanging on whether or not this one made enough.  Obviously.  Let’s hope it does, because I am so craving to see the rest of this story unfold on the big screen.  Like, a lot.  More than I really should be as a 26-year old married woman.

I’m depressed that it’s over.  I find myself feeling the way I used to when I would start to obsess.  I got completely lost in the film, and I really just want to watch it over and over, because I feel close to the characters and their lives.  I guess that means that Meyers did a job well done.  As did the movie-makers.

“It’s been talked about, it has a screenwriter, and now it’s official: Stephenie Meyer’s “New Moon” will be coming to a theater near you. Summit Entertainment made the official announcement on Saturday (November 22), during a brief respite from counting the massive box-office receipts that Meyer’s first film, “Twilight,” is taking in this weekend.”

That… just made my day.  Oh that totally so so very much made my day.

And now I shall try to get back to my normal self.  Although I can’t promise anything for at least 24 hours.
