I headed out early to pick up the tickets that I had bought weeks ago. Only to find out that my small town theater had entirely sold out of tickets for ten screens. That is insane.
Last year my sister Chelcea and I went to the midnight showing of Twilight, so it was sort of a tradition to do it again. I liked the movie Twilight, but I wasn't really impressed, with the actors, with the movie itself. I wasn't sure what to expect with New Moon.
My sister Laci and her friend met me and the local neighborhood grill, Applebees. My other sister Chelcea had class until 8 and my friend Carrie who was also meeting us for the movie took a nap before, so it was just us three at dinner.
There were people lined up already when I went to pick the tickets up at seven, but I wasn't too worried since they were showing the movie in every theater, last year for Twilight there was only two theaters showing the movie. Anyhow, we ended up getting to the theater at 8:30, to wait in line. I had brought Uno and The Dark Divine to read while waiting in line. But instead we ended up watching Twilight at 9 o'clock, so we could reserve our seats in the theater for New Moon.
The theater was crazy! CRAZY! There were lines outside with people waiting to get in. They basically let you go from theater to theater to try to find a seat, so glad we decided to get ours early. My friend Carrie finally made it after Twilight was over, I saved her a seat, I'm a good friend like that. Almost forgot to actually! She had to work today, so she got a good nap in before the movie. On to the movie.....
WOW! I was totally blown away. I loved it! I thought it accurately represented the book, I mean it's been awhile since I've read New Moon, but I can't think of anything that they left out. There were a few things that might have been a little different, but just worked so much better for the movie.
The actors were 100% better. Especially Taylor, he really stepped it up, it's easy to see why he secured the part of Jacob Black. And Robert and Kristen were exponentially better as well. I loved the Quilete boys! The ENDING! WOW! Total cliffhanger! So GOOD!

And bless Utah for having all their theaters use reserved seating. I don't know how we survived before it. BEST thing ever!!
I'll be checking it out next week, once the lines get a bit smaller!
Suzanne Young and I are going on Monday, when it will hopefully not be too crowded. I'm glad to hear you liked it - I'm excited to see it!

I'm so happy it was better than Twilight, even though I love twilight for what it is...they did step up their game on this one and having more money helped. I love Taylor, he was amazing. great acting. and I hope people give kristen more credit now. she was great. I always loved her acting but I know some didn't like her in twilight.

I think I'll wait until Monday during the middle of the day to see the movie - that way I can watch in peace.
But I'm glad to hear it's better than the first one. Because honestly the first one made me laugh - due to all the running through the trees that looked like they were really running on a walker with a projected background sort of like they do in Loony Toons - you know what I mean - yeah - I bet you do.
Anyways - glad to hear this one is better.
One lady said 'Oh my' when Jacob takes his shirt off to dab at the blood on bella's head..then this guy says, 'come down ladies' it was so funny.
Then a guy at the end of the movie when it just ends..said, 'You have got to be kidding me' I laughed.
Was a fun movie experience.
