It's a Movie, not the Frakkin' Beatles!

Aargh!! Went and saw the Twilight movie yesterday, twice. God help me, I should have stopped after the first viewing, but the second viewing date was set with the fellow Twi-hard sister-in-law, weeks in advance. And in my defense, I had a wonderful viewing experience in the early afternoon showing with fellow Twi-hard best friend, so how was I to know that the evening showing was going to be the most painful and God awful viewing experience since either The Lawnmower Man or Highlander 2, whichever came out the most recent.

Where do I start in regards to last night's showing: the pain of waiting in line for a movie I've already seen and didn't have to wait in line for earlier in the day; with the over 30 crowd who brought their significant others, by mistake; with the mom's who brought their 8 year old boys, by mistake; with the girls that would not shut up with the screaming, not by mistake; or with the inappropriate laughing, also, not by mistake.

The first showing was awesome- at my favorite theater (Big Newport), early afternoon, 20 people in the theater, quiet, respectful- an overall pleasant movie going experience (ignoring the fact that the movie disappointed upon first viewing).

The second showing was painful- at one of my least favorite theaters (Irvine Spectrum otherwise know as "the closets"); prime time; a sold out audience; loud-due to nonstop screaming; a very disrespectful crowd that talked and laughed continuously- an overall horrendous movie going experience (ignoring the fact that the movie actually improved upon second viewing).

Really, was it necessary for the tweens, teens, twenty somethings, and mom's (too!) to scream, at the top of their lungs every time one of the beloved vampires came into view? NO! But worse was the inappropriate laughing, yes the film was oozing cheese (thanks Catherine, BTW, your directing = horrible!), but did you all have to project your uncomfortable giggles to the point where they heard you two theaters over?! If I hadn't noted the "welcome to Irvine" sign driving up to the Spectrum, I would've sworn I was somewhere in the 909 (area code slang for the valley of the dirt people, or just Riverside to non-Southern Californians), the trailer park trash was that prevalent.

The movie is just a 6/10 and yes, I've already been to IMDb to log my vote, but the viewing experience for #2, was a -6/10. Thank you to every bonehead at the 8:00 viewing...it's an experience I'll regrettably never forget.

Did You Seriously Ask About His Underwear?

Aaargh! What the hell is up with certain Twilight Mom’s and why do certain fangirls insist on thoroughly embarrassing the rest of us? CHILL already women & girls!! I have never been more embarrassed to be a member of a fandom then I am, right now. I knew there was a reason that I have only visited the Twilight Mom’s site one time since joining this fandom, some of these women are crazy and need help. I know that I’m acting like an overgrown teen myself, by showing up at Comic Con, but I would NEVER have asked a 22 year old young man what kind of underwear he wore, boxers or briefs… that is wrong, on so many levels. I wish I had run into that woman so I could have had the opportunity to ask her what the hell she was thinking and give her the slap she so richly deserved! Really? Are you that deluded to think that you would look “cool” or “hip” to the youngsters in the fandom, or gasp, to the young man?! You just looked pathetic and OLD! And guess what? You are now forever immortalized on You Tube and your stupidity will be repeated over and over again until November 21st. Enjoy your 15 minutes of infamy, dumb ass!

Okay, now on to the screaming. Really, it was necessary? We couldn’t have just clapped or whistled or done something other than SCREAM! Rob is cute, yes, we all know it, and so didn’t you want to hear what he had to say…I WANTED TO! Goodnight!! How embarrassing for the rest of us, to be lumped in with a fandom full of screaming 12 year olds…oh wait, they weren’t there alone, the Twilight Mom’s were helping, the Twi-teens…about ½ of the room was testing out the acoustics…guess what, they amplify as they are meant to!! IDIOTS!! We’ll be the talk of this year’s Comic Con, for sure, but I doubt it will be in a positive light…next year, I’m sticking with Star Wars Day, at least that fandom doesn’t cause deafness.
