My day with Edward Cullen…
Actually, it’s Twilight and my best girl friends, Tim and Shen. We were planning on watching the movie on opening day for weeks. We all have read the Twilight saga (books 1 to 4) several times already and the anticipation of seeing the movie was killing us. It didn’t help that Rob Pattinson is drop dead gorgeous. The guy could make you want to watch the movie just to see him.
So we trooped to Globe Platinum Cinema 10 of Gateway Mall yesterday. The screening time we chose was 6:25PM. At exactly 6PM, we were ushered into the moviehouse already. The anticipation was building up. We were goofing around the lounge and we continued it when we entered the cinema. We took some photos that you can find here. Read Tim’s account of yesterday here.
And then the most anticipated movie (for the three of us, anyway) began rolling before our very eyes…
I won’t go into a detailed account of the movie. If you haven’t read the books yet, you will surely like it. But if you are like us, who are fanatics, truly devoted to the saga… brace yourselves before you watch the movie. I tell you, you would either get really angry the way they butchered Twilight or you would laugh your head off like I did. It was hilarious the way the scriptwriter massacred the story! It was a running joke between Tim and I that I was the one who wrote the story. Tim kept on asking in a sarcastic voice who wrote the darn story every time a scene we both love in the book was shown differently.
In her seat, Shen was laughing her head off every time Jasper was in a scene. He looked like a stick was shoved up his ass! Or as what Tim said, he looked constipated! Hahaha
Our movie tickets cost us 350 pesos each. Seeing Rob Pattinson for over an hour, feasting our eyes on him the whole time, was worth that much. As for the movie, yeah, yeah… It is a vampire movie without the bite!

I laughed when I saw Jasper on screen. He looked like a zombie. He looked better during the baseball game.

Hahaha. You’re hilarious. My sister and I went to the movie knowing it was going to bad and we agreed not to say anything bad and let it be what it was. But the moment they messed up the first scene (when Charlie was driving her home from the airport) We flipped and were making fun and complaining about the movie. We could’ve actually yelled because there was no one in the theater!
But we were satisfied with Rob Pattinson (pause. have you heard his song, Never Think? Amazing), Taylor Lautner, and of course Ashley Greene. I was very displeased with the lack of Alice. my favourite Cullen.
