It's T-Day!


Since the clock struck 12:01 AM, Twilight began showing to sold out crowds in movie theaters across the country. A couple of my friends went to these late night screenings. In my circle of friends, I am one of the few who has not read the book yet. Actually that's a lie. I started the book, got bored, and stopped reading it. Since I put the book down, it seems that everyone else has picked it up. I've decided to give the book another try, but I have no time to read it right now since I'm in school. Get back to me in the next couple of weeks when this semester's over; I'm sure I'll be more than halfway through the fist one by then.

I really want to see the movie because Catherine Hardwicke directed it and (my idol) Nikki Reed's in it. Plus it doesn't hurt that Robert Pattinson's hot. I'm serious. I was watching the news last night and even this old lady said something to the effect of, "I was watching NBC this morning and saw him, and he was sexy!" Tweens look out - the elderly are now after your main man Ed, lol.

Although it looks good (the movie & Robert ;-)), I don't have time to see the movie right now anyway. I barely have time to see Quantum of Solace and Transporter 3. Most likely, I won't see Twilight until it's on DVD.

Instead of hanging out at movie theaters at all times of the night like my friends, I have been listening to Britney Spears' song Unusual You on a loop for over an hour. I thought it would be the perfect song to fit the mood of Twilight (or at least the ads I keep seeing for the movie). Lucky for me, someone else on YouTube thought so too. Enjoy.

'Decode' These Lyrics

I have not read Twilight. I know! People yell at me all time for that. Actually that's a lie, not the people yelling part, but the me-not-reading-Twilight part. I tried to read it last year, but I just couldn't. There was just way too much description in the first chapter, and after a long semester of classes, I couldn't get through it.

Now that the movie's coming out, I may just give the book another chance. I'm not going to see the midnight showing of the movie like some of my friends (you know who you are). I'm going to wait for them to see the movie first. Then I'll ask which is better - the book or the movie - and if the movie stays true to the book.

Although I haven't jumped on the I ♥ Edward Cullen bandwagon as yet, I must say that I ♥ the actor bringing Edward Cullen to life. I semi-remember Robert Pattinson from Harry Potter. He's really adorable when I watch him in interviews, and he has the potential to replace Shia LaBeouf (and Justin Timberlake) as my future husband. The cast of Twilight is awesome (yay for Nikki Reed as Rosalie), and I can't wait to see the movie ... whenever that will be.

As I mentioned before, my friends are big fans of Twilight. One of them was not sure about these lyrics from Decode, the Paramore theme song for the movie. She understands some stuff that Hayley sings about, but not all. What's your take on this, as I'm Twilight-illiterate.
