Well, Twilight FINALLY hit the theaters and swept us off our feet! In some ways-good... in others-not so good and just plain AWKWARD! But it was definitely an experience to remember!
Here's Shari, Kelli, and I waiting patiently before the movie! My shirt says, "Edward Cullen ruined ALL motals for me."! Kelli almost made a shirt that said, "Harry Potter for LIFE!" She should have because there was even a preview for the newest Harry Potter coming out this year! Can't wait for that...but not as much to make another event for!!

Eve, Mernette, and Maile... our official seat savers! Thank you girls so much for your punctuality!
Look how packed the theater is!! If just ONE showing was this crowded, then we're on the right track to making enough money for the next movie... New Moon!
Thanks Keana'aina family for coming out. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the movie! REAL men watch AND read Twilight!
And thanks baby boy Keana'aina for waiting till mommy saw Twilight before YOU came out! Hmm... what do you think of the name "Edward"?! Or Jacob?! hehehe!

You can't really see the writing on Chan's shirt, but it says, "My heart belongs to my husband, but Edward can have my neck."!!! TOO FUNNY! And the back of Man's shirt say's, "Screw Self-Control" which is hilarious considering that she's pregnant!
We literally built Twilight up to be the "Movie of the Century"! And unfortunately, it was not! I'm not saying that it was bad. I'm just saying that it wasn't perfect and because we had such high expectations, we wallowed in our dissapointment! (can you tell that I'm trying to look like Jasper? He didn't look as constipated as I do (I was trying not to laugh!), but the movie did make him look comically miserable! Which were one of the things that dissapointed me.)
There was lots to discuss at our "after the movie" review at Zippy's. The average rating was about 6.5-7. Those that didn't have high expectations really liked the movie! Shari (who hadn't read the book) absolutely LOVED it (she gave it the highest rating, in fact)! I guess it still holds true that books are better than their movies. Even Maile said that she would have enjoyed it better if she didn't read the book! The movie had quite a few cheesy parts and at times, it seemed that the actors "over-acted" to the point where I was embarrassed for them! Over all, I was happy to have the visual (or more like I was happy to finally stare at Edward!!) and I can't say that I wouldn't watch it again or add it to my DVD collection!
Love the shirts, ladies!!
This is the back of Maile's shirt! It's all of the Twilight "Flare"!! FABULOUS!! Thank you to everyone who had the Twilight spirit and even made shirts! As Mernette said, "The best part about the Twilight movie were all the events that led up to it!" It's true!! The anticipation of it all... going to the Borders movie event... making the shirts... wasting money on the Twilight Movie Companion and the magazines that featured Rob Pattinson (!)... going to the after movie hang out at Zippy's... and bonding with friends like we were all 13 again... PRICELESS!
Everyone went home that night with an apple for their thoughts and a nice little picture of Edward and I!! (hmm.. maybe this is why James REFUSES to support Twilight in any and every way?!!) Thank you again for those of you who came! It was an OUTRAGEOUS night!
I'd also like to thank our sponsor, Sariah Mossman (Eve's daughter!!), for putting together these aDoRabLe bracelets. Everyone at the movie premiere looked stunning in them!

I'm glad to read your review. I do think the movie will never live up to the book but I too am excited to stare at Edward. I love your and Edwards thank yous. too funny you!
Thank you for introducing me to such madness. I'm glad I can say that I actually read a whole series of books...cover to cover...for the FIRST time in my life. I don't know if I have the patience to go with the Harry Potter, but I think I'm a little late for that one anyway. From now on, I know you have the best selections, so just let me know the Title, and I'll read...BTW, did you ever get to Men are from Mars...? Now that I know about all this other stuff, I don't even know that that's in your "interest".
Wow. :) LOL! You guys are so hard core! :)
BTW, We're in Hawaii from Thu-Mon... for George's grandma's funeral. We should get together. We wanna go to the beach on Thu and Fri-I'm sure we'll see you sometime.
