Time has brought your heart to me

So I’ve figured out some thing, out of the 5 Twilight Movies that make up the Saga, New Moon and Eclipse are utterly forgettable. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched these movies at least twice before, and I have no real memories of these 2 movies. Like, I’ve never seen them before.

Just like the books. They’re filler between the first book, and the last one. I’ve always said the last book is my favourite out of the whole series. Although Midnight Sun is a pretty close second. I’d read the rest of the series from Edward’s point of view.

Like I said, pretty forgettable. It’s already starting to fade. Something something, vampire army.

Backstories galore.

Like I told Crystal, and hour and a half of build up, 10 minutes of action, and another 20 minutes of soap opera like stares back and forth.

So I just finished watching The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Like the book, and Chinese food (man would I love some Chinese food), it leaves you feeling empty, yet wanting more.

Like the book, the movie is the weakest of the Saga. It does have a good representation of depression, although the book, in my opinion, does it so much better.

It’s a wolf thing.

What a joke!

It’s a vampire thing. It’s a Canadian thing. It’s a coffee thing. It’s a bacon thing. It’s a hipster thing.

What does that even mean?

Listen, the movie is 130 minutes long. In that, there’s approximately 2.5-4 minutes of actual move the plot a head action. .0345 minutes of Aro laughing (not as good as in Breaking Dawn pt 2 – but I digress), and way too many minutes of wet, 80% naked man-children. Really, he looks sticky.

Course I guess every Saga can have a weak movie in it. I mean look at Return of the Jedi. Stuffed bears. And don’t get me started in all three movies of The Hobbit.

What a long day yesterday. In the truck for about 8.5 hours. That makes for a long day. The part that was supposed to be fixed, couldn’t be, for the price that they were willing to pay, so we brought it back. Frustrating on that end.

Although, I was surprised when, as we were waiting for them to figure out what they were going to do with the part, my mom drove to a book store.

“Go and get your book, the newest one, we’ll use amazon for the others.”

So after that, we’re on our way home. And we’re driving through all these really small little towns. I see a sign,

“That sign just said Eiffel Tower that way…..”

Sure enough, there’s the Eiffel Tower. Of course I get out and take pictures for Crystal. Which, hours and hours later, as she lay in bed, I got her to edit them, as my photoshop decided it didn’t want to play well with me. I can’t decide which edits I like the best, so over the course of the week, you’ll see them all.

Welcome to the Paris of the Praries

I had adrenaline rush. It’s very common, you can Google it.

How can a movie be so different from the novel of our generation? Welcome to Forks, where the girls are pale, and the boys are vampires.

So many things are wrong about this movie. The pacing is off, and all of the major plot points are all wrong. I’m pretty sure only the names are the same, because while close to the book, it’s also miles off.

And that’s kind of annoying.

Hulk smash!

The plot points from the book and the movie just don’t match up. Nor do the visuals. Why would they take the Jeep and the BMW to school. LOW MOTHERFUCKING PROFILE.

I believe book Edward said, and I quote, “ostentatious”.

One of the few things that do match up is the baseball game, and the glorious 2006 Muse hit Supermissive Black Hole – which, I’m told was written just for this scene, and never released again.

He’s probably doping.

The running to Phoenix, was so blink of an eye fast, and then Bella gets away by simply walking out the front door of the hotel? That’s some serious bullshit I tells you.

Do you have a moment to talk about your saviour?

This isn’t how in my minds eye, how I pictured the ballet studio scene to go. I don’t know, I pictured in more in the day light for some reason. then suddenly slap fight and blonde evil vampire is a fireball. Anticlimactic much?

There’s the happy ending we’ve been waiting for. I believe this is the first time I’ve seen the whole move from start to finish. Will it replace the book for me? Hell no. This is a book for our generation. Without the first book, there’s no SAGA. Remember that.

That’s just one small fraction of the main attraction

It’s gonna be one of those days I think. The older I get, the less I want people to talk to me right after I wake up. Just say morning, and let me be. I slept all through the night. It wasn’t the best of sleeps, but it was better than the night before. Every time a bad dream started, my subconscious simply said no, and for a second I woke up, and rolled over and fell back asleep. I did have a strange dream where I worked on one of those televised car shows. That was interesting to say the least. They made fun of me a lot.

But, don’t expect to have a conversation with me as I’m making my coffee. It won’t happen. Like ever. I am not a morning person.

I think today, I’m gonna sit down with Netflix, and watch Twilight. We’ll see though. I haven’t decided yet. Let me just get through that first cup of coffee, and we’ll go from there.
