Twilight of the Comet

Soooo, we saw Twilight on Monday. I haven't read the book and truthfully (realistically), probably wont. Not a big tween book reader however no offense to those who are AND as they say, never say never. But the movie was uhhhh .....interesting. My BFF Kirsten really loved loved loved it and I can see why. The cinematography made me want to make a movie in tungsten, flooded pdx ASAP, the dreamy teenagers and mysterious plot line were intoxicating bordering on tedious, the vampire-ness without lots of pointy teethy violence; however personally, the abstinence part really rubbed me the wrong way, or was it the right way (my fault for going to see a kids movie, says Seth). Perhaps it's because I simply equate vampires with sex and not to overlook the sexual undertones of the film, I thought the part where (stop reading here if you haven't seen the movie) he sort of flies off of her and she's kind of wanting it and he's kind of not was UNREALISTIC (you can ask Bristol Palin if you don't believe me). This is not to say the whole movie was necessarily realistic, but I was all getting into the back and forth of the two protagonists, the almost postmodern Shakespeareany banter, needing to protect, needing to "know when to say when", blah blah and since I'm only a little perverted, I didn't necessarily want a full on tween hump fest, but I wanted something more....something about the need to not show sex seemed religious, or non-feminist or something....maybe I am just a big perv like Bristol. oh well.

not Mick Lasalle but will do

anyway, I'll either keep thinking about it or forget all together. not sure which.

...in other movie news, we're in the middle of "Night of the Comet" which influenced my childhood gigantically and totally holds up as a cult classic. Also, the clothes are effing radical...
