New Moon Advanced Screening
OK, boys and girls, as I write this it’s 12:18 in the AM and I’ve just come from the advanced screening of New Moon. Please forgive me any typos or stupidisms; Susan will fix them for me in the morning.
A friend of my husband won tickets to the advanced screening at the Mall of America and had no desire to go, so, lo and behold, I got me a pair of tickets. We waited in line for an hour and a half, yes, that’s right folks, my husband waited in line to see Edward Cullen take his shirt off. When they finally opened the doors, they let people in fifty at a time.
So we waited patiently for our turn to cross the velvet rope and the closer we got, the more excited I got. They counted off another group of people and stopped just as Brad and I stepped up next in line. Turns out that if you read the fine print on your ticket, a ticket didn’t guarantee you a seat. They overbooked the joint. So, we were informed that the thirty three people who’d gone in ahead of us were the last ones in.
Just before I had a GIANT EFFING TANTRUM, they announced that they would be opening a second theater. Fricking yay. So we were the first ones into the new theater, got primo seating (and tons of swag) and settled in to watch the movie.
Everything you hated about Twilight? They fixed it. Edward doesn’t make noise when he sparkles. Both of his ears are properly pasty. Kristen’s contacts aren’t all over the place. AND, they didn’t leave out any major scenes. Everything you wanted there, it’s there.
All in all, I’m giving the movie 6 out of 5 fangs. Because it’s New Moon. And it’s just that good.
