Day 25

Ahh, Wednesday …

Hump Day they call it…the middle of the week…it’s downhill from here.

But today brings with it something really special – No nothing in the delivery column today…but I did have the screening for the new and final Twilight film, Breaking Dawn – Part 2.

Those of you who have read my earlier reviews or listened as I’ve discussed will know, I haven’t been the biggest fan of this series. There were a couple in the beginning that were ok, but Breaking Dawn  - Part 1 was not fun to endure, at lest for me.

So after a busy day with no dinner…I waited in the way too long line for a bucket of Popcorn (yes…a very healthy dinner). And marched into the theater to experience the newest Twilight film.

In fact I sat next to a couple of my local colleagues and they had not seen all the films….I had…(is that a good thing, or a bad thing???)

Before the film got underway, my musing was about why they didn’t go the 3D route on the film. Everyone is doing it, and they are going to sell a zillion tickets regardless of the price….why no money grab on this one? (I said it half in jest, but it is a good question).

While the first 20 minutes of what followed reminded me of everything I really disliked about Part 1, it did find a way out of the darkness and into the light.

When the film was over one of the two colleagues even clapped wildly…(I don’t know if he was mocking others who did or really enthused…but I like to say he was enthused….makes for a better story). 

And so it was over.

The movie, the series and another night at the movies had all concluded around 9PM that evening.

On the way out, I was greeted by the sign outside the theater that displayed what we had just seen….but it wasn’t true!

See the sign below.

I know my mid 80s dance movies…and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 was Breakin’. (Again…not sure whether that was a bad thing or not.)

I finally determined I’m Team Alice for the Twilightfilms….Ashley Greene, I can’t wait to see what you do next.

You’ll have to wait for the review to see what I thought of it…but it was no Breaking Dawn: Part 1.

Tomorrow I get to see something I’ve really been waiting for, Silver Linings Playbook. Plus ????

Until then…

Sit Back, Relax and Save Me A Seat!
