(What else am I supposed to call it? Guys' night out?)
So we, assorted humans from SN1 and 2, went to CS today to watch a movie about a bunch of vampires playing baseball to Muse's Supermassive Black Hole. Quite a trade-off for 6 bucks IMO.
You heard me right. We watched
(cue rumble of thunder as the fangirls squeee at the mere mention of that word)
There we were, thirteen *choke* tostesterone-fuelled teenage boys, all milling about outside the cinema, dunno what to watch, standing there like idiots till someone suggested Twilight and we all clutched onto that idea like a lifeboat. =_=;
Well, after strolling out of the theatre to LP's Leave Out All The Rest in the credits, I have to say the spec effects weren't that good, but the actors actually could show the required emotions onscreen. The unspoken tension between Bella and Edward was hilarious to watch.
However, I got a gripe: The Cullens weren't really very good-looking. Rosalie looked like a pussy who had been force-fed lemons, while __(woman vamp who's gonna become the villian in the 2nd movie if I'm not mistaken)___ looked rather chunky onscreen. And I kinda pictured Carlisle in my mind as maybe an Aizen Sousuke (of Bleach fame, pre-traitor status) in a doctor's gown-thingy. The one in the movie looked more like a sharper, thinner version of Owen Wilson.
A pic for comparison purposes:
And don't get me started on Edward's mug. Forget superstrength, that bloke could knock a hole in the wall with his jawline. Bulkhead, much?
All in all though, not a bad way to spend an afternoon. Only thing is when Mike and I went to get our guitar picks the shop was closed. Out for dinner, apparently. Dang.
Oh yeah, gotta check out Twilight's non-O, ST. Any movie soundtrack with Muse and LP in it has real cred. + I hear Paramore's doing the main theme song. x3 x3 x3
