New Moon
Was SO MUCH BETTER than Twilight!! :)
The movies will just not be as good as the books, that's a given, but this one was pretty close. They didn't deviate very much and I thought the directing was so much better! There were still a couple of things I would have done differently. Like, they tweaked the look of most of the Cullens and I'm not a fan of how they did it. I liked how they looked in Twilight, they were less attractive to me this time. But they were hardly even in this one so that's okay.
We had a great group going together last night. I think when all was said and done we had 19 or 20 people! And all but two came over afterwards for ice cream. It was fun to go with friends, even though it was so crazy-crowded in the theater we couldn't get seats all together. We all sat with someone, no one was alone. :)
One of the best parts for me was that I was able to surprise Acadia and let her come with us. My friend saw it Thursday night and told me on Friday that it was "clean" (no make out scenes in her underwear - hello, where is that in the book????) and there were still tickets left, so I grabbed one for her right away. She was so excited when I told her! And she liked it a lot, a couple of her friends were there and she got to sit with them, which made it even more fun for her. :)
Even though Twilight was SO not how *I* would have made it, I liked it a lot and went to see it in the theater FIVE times. Makes me wonder how many times we'll be going to see New Moon. lol
