There is one key detail on the movie Twilight. It opened in the USA on November 21st but its Philippine opening is stalled until November 26th. Which means anything I type here would be a spoiler to other Twilight fanatics in the Philippines. Hi Sheng!! wabs yah!

Shall I comment on the acting or how close it sticks to the book? Everybody has their own opinion so I won’t taint your experience by giving you mine. My standards for movies may not be your standards for movies so I’ll default to the gist behind this quote.

“You get fifteen democrats in a room, and you get twenty opinions.” – Senator Patrick Leahy (1940 – ), May 1990 (He’s a democrat too.)

Shall I tell you how the story goes? Well, the movie is based off of a popular book series so if you know about the movie it is because you read the books. That makes it rather pointless to tell you about the story since you have already read the books if you care about the movie Twilight. If you don’t know about the movie Twilight or the books, then this post isn’t for you. That would put you in the category of my husband. He never read them, doesn’t care to read them, and was just fine in ignoring the movie as he does to the vast majority of them. (If they are based on a comic book, he’ll likely watch them though.)

You can probably predict how going to the movie with him went. The quantity of guys going with their dates or wives was rather small. Including my husband, the number of adult guys was 7 and the theater was rather full. Go figure, this is what is called a “chick flick.” So a lot of women, teenagers and not many adult guys which makes me a lucky one.

Why did my hubby go with me? Our anniversary is coming up and I won’t be here for it. So he decided to go with me to “hold the popcorn” and spend time with me. Yup, I am a lucky gal…kinda. See he can be a bugger at times. He knows just how far he can push being a bugger before triggering a tampo. He scattered his comments about the movie, during the movie, just enough to get a smack from me but not enough for tampo.

His comments:

“What was that spell Voldemort cast that killed Cedric Diggory and turned him into a vampire?”

“Will the actor’s next roll allow him to have a character with the initials F and G or will it be based in the past so he can catch A and B? He already has C, D, and E covered.”

“Since the girl brought up superheroes, can’t they get Tony Stark to refit his Iron Man armor to shoot solar rays and wipe the vampires out? Or do we have to wait for Blade to carve them up?”

“Hey, James said that Edward wasn’t strong enough. Edward said that he is strong enough to kill James. James better be careful or he won’t like it if he makes Edward angry. But wouldn’t transforming into a gamma radiated Hulk vampire cure the vampirism? That would doubly “suck” for the girl because it would not only be a “drain” on her but she’d lose her hair from radiation poisoning.”

Yes, he is that much of a smartass bugger. But he is my kind, gentle, thoughtful, smartass bugger. (sa walay pabor pabor haha!)

During the romantic portions, he closed his eyes trying to identify the smell of the candy being eaten by someone nearby. It was a cherry flavored candy that was either cotton candy or Laffy Taffy. Just like the other 6 adult guys, he was obviously bored.

I just know he’s going to ask for a full massage in return. And yes, I am hoping to watch the movie again in the Phils.  *wink*

Thank you,

Anah
