So.



I bought the Twilight soundtrack today and shut up i'm not being lifeless okay -___-
Been googling the movie and it got like.... bad reviews. Let me paste one here since I have nothing to do and NOBODY is online.

Here are two good ones I found.

How can you start a critic roundtable without starting with the fat man himself? Here’s Roger Ebert, who didn’t exactly like the film, but seems to “get” enough of it to give it a pass:

“Twilight” will mesmerize its target audience, 16-year-old girls and their grandmothers. Their mothers know all too much about boys like this. I saw it at a sneak preview. Last time I saw a movie in that same theater, the audience welcomed it as an opportunity to catch up on gossip, texting, and laughing at private jokes. This time the audience was rapt with attention. Sometimes a soft chuckle, as when the principal Indian boy has well-developed incisors. Sometimes a soft sigh. Afterwards, I eavesdropped on some conversations. A few were saying, “He’s so hot!” More floated in a sweet dreaminess. Edward seemed to stir their surrender instincts.

Owen Gleiberman at EW gets it, too:

For girls, the intense, ego-stroking appeal of Meyer’s novel was the way that Bella becomes this undead Byronic stud’s soul mate without quite knowing why she’s worthy. She’s a Kewl Generation damsel waiting to be rescued from her jaded heart. Stewart is an ideal casting choice — she conveys Bella’s detachment, as well as her need to bust through it. And getting Catherine Hardwicke to direct Twilight was a shrewd move, because the youthquake specialist of Thirteen treats teen confusion without a trace of condescension: She gets their grand passions and prickly defense mechanisms.

here are the not so good ones.

"Much of what made the relationship between Edward and the smitten Bella Swan work in Meyer's breezy book has been stripped away on screen," says Christy Lemire at The Associated Press, observing that the chemistry between Pattinson and Stewart simmers rather than boils. "The funny, lively banter — the way in which Edward and Bella teased and toyed with one another about their respective immortality and humanity — is pretty much completely gone, and all that's left is a slog of adolescent angst." Luke Y. Thompson asks, "What the hell was that I just watched?" and says Edward "chooses to dress like a whiny-sexy emo-boy." Then again, you might not want to put much stock into the fashion advice of a man who'd dye his own hair red, white and blue."

oooo anddd......



BUT,
me being me, I STILL HAVE TO WATCH IT CAUSE ROBERT PATTINSON IS A *&Q#(*^(*#Q%^(*^#%Q(*#Q% (that's a swearword) SEXY BEAST

plus

Jackson Rathbone is gorgeous. And hello, it's Twilight.
Oh, I forgot to mention. I read the book again today. For the 6th time. No, I'm not lifeless.

Ok I'm done crapping for the day.

TEAM EDWARDDD AND JASPER FOREVERRR!

bye.
