New Moon= Phenomenal.

PHENOMENAL. One word description of New Moon. I even had much higher expectations than Twilight and it STILL rocked my world. The acting was superb, Bella was much less like a crack addict. I found myself a little disgusted that I thought that Jacob's body was much better than Edwards. Because, let's face it, I like to run with Vamps. I thought I held pretty well in the break up scene, but the scenes following it, those were intense. At one point John looked at me and said, "That was ruthless." The action was awesome, there was even some great comedy. I searched hard for things to not like and here is my nit picky list. ( Trust me, these things are quite ridiculous, even for me)

* Super disappointed about my being wrong on pretty much all accounts of the soundtrack. I loved how it was Incorporated, but I was wrong and I hate that.
* Was it just me or was Edwards pants entirely too big in Volterra? I thought he was going to lose them.. not that I would've minded.
* Alice's vision of them frolicking in the meadow. Super cheesy.

I told you, right? That list is ridiculous. Something else that was ridiculous, was the LINE to get in the movie. Brooke brought it my attention that I needed to check on the seating issues from the 9 o'clock Twilight show, and sure enough, she was right and they did get to keep their seats, so I demanded ( much to the manager's complaints) that I have a different movie time, b/c I was NOT having a crappy seat just because somebody paid to see a movie they have probably seen 10 times. BUT.. even though we got there at 10:30, the line was wrapped around the inside of the theatre.. there were bodies everywhere. And since we changed our time, we got to go on in our movie and get our seats and enjoy our 1.5 hour wait in the comfort of movie seats. Of course, Tweens were everywhere and the girl behind me serenaded us with Taylor Swift music and sang pretty much every soundtrack song that was played throughout the movie. But, even she wasn't going to rain on my parade.

I am ready to see it again. And if I had a million dollars, I would go see it every night for the rest of the week. It is THAT good.

It's FINALLY here!



It's here.

Are you ready? Do you have your box of tissues? I do. I can't believe it's finally here. I thought this day would never come. So, as a celebration, I have a New Moon treat for you!

Once upon a time, when I was a fresh off the turnip truck at the University of Alabama, I wanted to be that person who picked out the music for movies. I had no idea if that was a one person job, or what it was even called. But.. I wanted to do it. I was going to add a James Taylor song to every movie that I did.( Huge James Taylor fan, here) But.. alas, it didn't work out thanks to Communications 120. (Let's not get into the inner workings of that professor, it's for the best)

Anyway, back to today, my New Moon treat for you is my predictions for what songs from the soundtrack are going to be in what scenes. (Excited, aren't you? If you're not, don't tell me.) I realize there are certain scenes that may not make the movie and a couple of scenes that are completely new, but this was a still a fun game for me.

So, Here goes:

* Meet Me On The Equinox- Opening of the movie
*Friends- something to do with the wolfpack
*Hearing damage- could possibly be the drowning scene
*Possibility- Most definitely has to be part of the break up scene
*A White Demon Love Song- more of Bella's dark times
*Satellite Heart- part of Bella's dark times, if the scene makes the movie then I think it could be when she goes back to the Cullen house after they have left Forks
*I Belong To You- I think it has to be when Edward is in Forks or perhaps when they are headed to the voting scene
*Rosyln- When Bella finds out about Edward going to the Volturi
*Done All Wrong- In Port Angeles with Jessica
*Monsters- It's either a werewolf scene or the birthday party scene
* The Violet Hour- When Jacob is "sick" and avoiding Bella
*Shooting the Moon- maybe when she is cliff diving? This one totally threw me for a loop
*Slow Life- one of scary dream sequences
* No Sound But The Wind- more of Bella's dark times
* New Moon ( The Meadow)- When she finds the meadow..duh.
*Solar Midnite- I have a mental image of the first time you see Jane and Alec
* All I Believe In- hanging out with Jacob
*Die Fledermaus- Playing in the background when they visit the Volturi

So.. What do you think? Who's headed out at midnight tonight? Who's not going to see it? Who doesn't even know what movie I am talking about? Who's wearing a Team Edward or Team Jacob shirt?

On another note... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIGI! WE LOVE YOU!
