OK. I totally buy Robert Pattinson as Edward. Totally. I’m so excited. I’m still having trouble with Kristen Stewart as Bella but I’m sure I’ll come around. So needless to say I will be watching this over and over and over again.
So here’s my video. My favorite parts are Oli singing the theme song, Max lying on the floor and fighting with Grandma Schlegel, and Scott taking no prisoners throughout. Watch out for Tru, he’s got a wicked spin attack.
Star Wars is big in our house right now. The kids love the original three movies. They’ve beaten but continue to play both Lego Star Wars games for PS2. They are constantly pretending to be using the force; mostly on me. They rotate through which character they’re going to be for Halloween (yes, they’re already planning for it). It’s pretty much always on their minds. It doesn’t help that Scott bought each of us our own lightsabers. Scott and I have red ones which in the movies mean the Dark Side, but I don’t really see it that way. Strict? Yes. Evil? No. It is always us against them though. Their favorite game is for Scott to hide and then when they find him they battle to the death.
I tried to take a picture to prove that Scott and I were out at a movie on it’s second night open but they didn’t turn out. Okay, so I didn’t like the way I looked in them. Anyway, the movie was great. I would definitely recommend it to the girls. Just so you know where I’m coming from I also liked all three X-Men, the first two Spiderman movies, and LOVED Batman Begins (can’t wait for the next installment of this one). I think I’ve seen pretty much all the new comic book movies and I’m enjoying the genre. This movie had an intense moment that had me cringing and squeezing Scott’s hand but it totally worked itself out and I’m a happy camper. Robert Downey Jr did a fabulous job and I totally bought him all the way through. My favorite character is Pepper Pots his assistant; not because of her acting but because of her name. If a little girl were ever dropped on our doorstep I’d totally name her Pepper. Probably the cutest girl’s name I’ve ever heard.
Scott, You got anything to add? Anyone else see the movie?
ps I left my iPhone at home today when I went out and I totally felt naked. I couldn’t even take a picture of my table full of friends at our Stake Enrichment Activity. Lesson learned.
My friend Amy N. just sent me this link about Bella’s Lullaby being in the movie. Apparently Robert Pattinson (Edward) is a musician and he’s one of the many people composing a song for the movie. Wild.
Scott found this one for me (best husband ever). On the set of Twilight. I’m not sure about the Edward hunting and running on the treetops but I guess it will make things interesting. What’s your take on that?
I was on Stephenie Meyer’s site today thanks to my RSS feed and saw that some new clips were posted on MTV.com. The fun part is a little clip of Jacob. If you look down at the bottom of the player you’ll see his face. They don’t show him acting at all just little clips of him in costume. It was really good to see him because most of the photos I’ve seen of him have been when he’s younger (imdb).
Holy crow!:) You’ll never believe the connection I found Tuesday night. So I have Brooke White’s album. About a year ago I was searching for modest tees and came upon a brand new site (don’t remember what it was called but it’s since gone out of business) and on the blog was a link to Brooke’s album Songs From the Attic. (I can’t find the link so I settled for Amazon – I did not pay more than $10 for my copy). I was in an impulsive mood and bought it. I’ve listened to it a couple of times since but that’s saying a lot from me. I just don’t connect to music like other people do. Anyway, I kept seeing her on American Idol and hearing her name and thinking I knew her from somewhere. Finally Tuesday night I went into my iTunes library and found the album. I listened to one of the songs and knew for sure it was her. The first and probably the last time this will ever happen. The funny thing is she’s not even my favorite on the show. I really like Carly Smithson. But she just hasn’t been doing so well the last few weeks. So just to recap, I’m not saying I made Brooke who she is or that I discovered her. I totally stumbled upon her. I just feel like I’m part of her home town now. I don’t know her personally, but I feel like I actually have a tiny connection to someone on one of my favorite shows. It’s so exciting.
