I'm In Like

This morning I drove over an hour to the nearest theater with the only other die-hard Twilight fan I could find in Globe to see the 10:00am showing of Twilight. I've been planning on seeing this movie since pre-production stages, and I was pretty excited. I did not, however, let myself expect too much, because that inevitably leads to disappointment. And I didn't read the book right before seeing the movie, since I have discovered that this only causes annoyance when I notice the differences between novel and movie. So, I was all geared up to enjoy myself, but I had already decided that I wasn't a fan of Robert Pattison, who plays Edward (couldn't they have found someone hotter to play the part?). It was awesome to see the characters come to life. I truly was riveted the entire time, and it was over too quickly. Edward actually grew on me (except for some of his more "constipated" expressions, as my sis-in-law put it. He was going for intense but overshot), and I was pretty impressed with the acting of the other characters (I really liked Charlie and James). This particular kissing scene was hot but not inappropriately steamy. All in all, I can't actually say that I loved it, but I really really liked it. I'm looking forward to the sequels, and am trusting that they will get better as we go along.

I too went in with low expectations and found that I really enjoyed the movie. I totally agree on the choice for Edward (yes, he did grow on me, but he still wasn't at all how I pictured Edward). Pretty much all the other characters I was very happy with. Did you know the James actor went to AHS? He was in Geoff's graduating class. I thought he looked a little familiar (I just thought I'd seen him in something else)

Is it true that Edward has a hairy chest? I don't think I can get over that. Isn't a figure carved out of marble supposed to be smooth and regal?! Not reading the book right before you saw the movie was super smart.
