I am still trying to convince myself that I am not crazy for going to last night's midnight showing of Twilight. I am soooo tired but I had so much fun. I went with Mark's Aunts and cousins and we had a blast even before the movie started. I will post pictures after Lyndsie does and I can steal them from her blog :)
As for my opinion of the movie. I liked it. I didn't hate it and I didn't love it. I thought the cast did a pretty good job aside from Jacob and Carlisle just didn't work for me. Also, some of the camera angles were wierd, some of the parts were cheesy and some of the story was wrong or missing. One thing that I was hoping would be in the movie that wasn't was Edward's awesome car, here is the Aston Martin Vanquish (the car for prom), I think its gorgeous.
Overall, I liked the book way better and can't wait to read it again! I want to re-read the Midnight Sun version again too. For those who never read it, you should. It's book one from Edward's perspective and I love to hear his thoughts on the goings-on. The finished pages are posted on Stephenie's website, you should check it out: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html. I think it is so interesting to hear everyone's different opinions of the movie because everyone imagines something different when reading. It's wierd how some things work for some that didn't for others. So what did you think?

Hey Jack, it's Meredith, Aubs' friend.
#1: Your little boy has THE MOST devoted mum! I love reading your gushing blog posts about how much you've fallen into the mommy love vortex.
#2: I'm seeing the vampire movie tonight with Aubs. I hated the last 3 books (don't hate me) but think the movie looks good. As for why they skipped on the Aston Martin appearance, the only thing I can think of is they couldn't afford it, since CNN.com said today they had a "tiny" budged of $30 million! No guacamole left in the end for the prom car!
But Stephenie Meyer can just drive her own Aston Martin instead of her old mini van. :)
Carlise...too much bad white make up and fake blond hair...Rosalie...so ugly...I just couldn't get over it! But I totally agree with what you said! You can read my blog for my opinion but I just have to say...if you are a true Twilight fan...no matter how bad the acting was or how cheesy the movie was...you love it anyway! haha...I love it!
I was so annoyed that there wasn't an appearance by the vanquish. i realize the budget was only 30 mill, but come on. they could've just called up bond and asked to borrow his. for reals.
