Twilight: Eclipse. The Not-A-Review. Sort of.

[gategrrl]

No, I didn't go see this. Neither did my neighbor, whose daughter also wanted to go see it, along with Mermaid. I dropped them both off at the theater, and three hours later picked them up. After Mermaid was home, had eaten some chicken soup and had relaxed away from her friend from next door, she said, "It was boring, to tell you the truth." She couldn't remember the ending!  Mermaid is "into" the Twilight series, but not really any longer. It's more like a girl-bonding event, a tradition, that she and a friend go see these films.

Neighbor's daughter told me her mother didn't want to see it, either. Neighbor-friend told me that her mother would have laughed all the through the movie "like a hyena". Both girls were relieved their mothers did not go with them. And believe me, both of us were relieved we didn't HAVE to go with them!

I was curious and read the reviews today. Not good. Not good at all. I'm not planning on see this movie either!

I am so ready for vampires to not be cool anymore.

I'd never seen any clips from any of the Twilight movies until I saw the trailer for this one. Laughed myself silly at how bad the effects and makeup were. And the pic you've posted looks like a bad photoshop manip as well. WTH?

So glad Mae is too young for Twilight. Dreading the next big thing though :)

I saw the first movie, and I have to deal with teens who talk *endlessly* about how good the books are, and how wonderful the movies are, and why can't Stephanie Meyer write twelve more books?

Then I try to give them something better to read.

Personally, if I had a choice between a vampire (cold, dead, not breathing, all sparkling aside) and a werewolf, (who's alive at least, no matter how hairy) I know which one I'd choose. But then, I wouldn't be whining in East Podunk about guys, I'd be off doing something. So...
