vettechmomof2 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 My coworkers are taking me. I will not get any sleep tonight as I live an hour away form the theater and work so by the time I get home it will be to hop in the shower right away and head out for work. I really did not care to see it but coworkers are paying for me and hubby offered to come home early from work so off I go. Have fun!

Pretty in Pink Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'll admit to having secured a ticket weeks ago (though I'm going tomorrow night, not tonight). I doubt I'll ever read the books but the movies are good fun! I think you're missing the most important question here though: Team Edward or Team Jacob???

Britomart Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I'm going tomorrow night. Don't hate me, but I'm going not because I love it but because I think it's funny. (Rifftrax, anyone?) I'm going on opening day because I want to bask in the whole, crazy cultural phenomenon. :lurk5: I'm going with my brother and sister, and we're going to try very, very hard not to snicker and get ourselves beat up. (Last time, my brother and I went to New Moon, and he spilled his gobstoppers, which was incredibly noisy, they rolled and crashed all the way down the concrete theater floor, and the guy behind us yelled "That's AWESOME!", and it was right at the high dramatic point when Edwards was saying he's leaving 4-EVAR and the guy in front of us turned around and chewed us out. And then walked out. Yep. I felt horrible. This time I am buying my brother gummy bears.) Okay. Now I really do sound awful! :leaving: But I am going. And I do think I'm really going to enjoy it. :) Those books/movies are nothing if not entertaining. I wouldn't go if I didn't think they were funny, but I also wouldn't go if I didn't think they were fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Not only am I going but I have been elected the neighborhood parent who will be taking all the teens that are going as well. Tons of fun. I haven't even finished the books as I am finding it very hard to stay interested and I thought the previous two movies were boring. Finally, I am not terribly fond of the idea a bunch of squealing teens at midnight. But yes, I am going. We had to Fandango tickets because even though they are showing it on 10 screens most of them are already sold out. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I love to tell the teen age girls that's Mom's like these books and movies. The looks on their faces are priceless! On the other hand maybe that's why young girls should leave them alone. :lol: I'm not a fan but find the whole thing amusing.

fivetails Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 dd13 and I are going tomorrow night :D I don't think our theater is doing a midnight show, but even if it was... no can do.

Garga Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Tickets secured for tomorrow at noon :). No way I'd be able to stay awake and enjoy the whole thing tonight. This is me. Tickets at noon. Mom-mom going to watch the kids. I want to be wide-enough awake to enjoy it. But then again, I have to go alone. None of my friends IRL want to see it. If I had a friend to go with, I'd be there at midnight. (I saw Star Wars Episode 3 at the theater at midnight. But I had a friend with me.) I'll make do with noon tomorrow! I'm so excited. I woke up this morning and checked the computer to make sure it wasn't already Wednesday and I got my days mixed up. You know when you do that? It's Tuesday and you keep thinking it's Wednesday all day or something? I didn't want to have my mil call and say, "Well, where are the kids? Aren't you supposed to have dropped them off here while you go to the movie???" But today is solidly Tuesday and tomorrow is Wednesday and I've already checked my wallet to be sure my ticket is still there. (I'm really not usually compulsive, but this case is special!) I really wish I had an IRL friend to go with. PM me if you live in PA and are going. Maybe we live near each other and can go together!

Diane in CO Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I think that I will be going to see this on Monday by myself. I do have an IRL friend that would go with me, however her family is in town for a month....and I don't think I can wait that long :D If anyone is in the Albuquerque area and wants to see it let me know....BTW I am Team Edward, but if you are Team Jacob, that's ok too ;) Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I personally will not be seeing the movie but will be taking my son to a 7:00 pm double feature of the first 2 twilight movies then the Eclipse at 12:00.

hsmom3tn Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 A friend of mine bought our tickets several weeks ago. It's a good thing, too. The theater we're going to is showing it on 13 screens and they're all sold out. There are several theaters around here showing this movie tonight and they're pretty much all sold out. It's crazy! I'm really excited, but beginning to wonder if this was such a good idea.... :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckymama Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 We have a bitty 3 screen, no frills theatre in our downtown that doesn't get much traffic.

Hunter's Moon Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 No, you aren't alone. I got my tickets for 12:05 a.m. I agree with a previous poster who said Edward AND Jacob, but if I had to choose, Jacob, because I wouldn't be able to trust Edward after he left me. Wow, I'm a loser :blushing: The books are good, the movies are no where near good, IMO, but my mother really wants to go. *sigh* She was sucked into all the hype as well.

I'm pretty sure that the way they justify his "love" of Pants...er, Bella, is that he could smell the egg that would eventually be fertilized and grow up to be his soul mate.

3lilreds in NC Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Yes. :) (You know. Peanut butter AND jelly. Cookies AND milk. Chocolate AND vanilla. Edward AND Jacob. I want to have my cake and eat it, too)! So did Bella. :) You Team Jacob people know how the story ends, right? You all know how the story ends and that there is no point to choosing a "team?" I am not going tonight, and will, in fact, probably wait until I can get it on Netflix. The movies really are quite bad. Both Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart show all the personality of doorknobs in the movies. I can't figure that out AT ALL. I'm hoping that it's just how the screenplay was written, because I'm pretty sure Robert Pattinson is a better actor than he shows in these movies. I've seen a trailer for another of his upcoming films and he's at least capable of showing emotion, which he does not do in these movies and it's such a poor portrayal of Edward I almost can't stand it. I watched the first movie before I read the book and dh and I agreed that the movie was pretty bad. Then I got sucked into the books and had to watch the second one too, LOL. I can, however, wait for rental on the 3rd and spend all that money on better acting! :D :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
