Now it could be the whiskey talking, but this one was ever so slightly less shitty than the first. Not in terms of the story, which is a little sillier than the last one, but in terms of overall film-making. I guess Twilight made enough scratch to afford them a better camera op, better editor, and even the CG effects were a notch up from the last one. And by "a notch up" I mean they looked about as good as something you'd see on Xbox. Don't believe me?
"Watch out! It's Monday and Garfield's gone ape-shit on some wild forest lasagna!"
The whole idea of nice sparkly vampires running around in the daytime is still ultra-retarded to me, so I couldn't get past that enough to take the movie seriously. The addition of werewolves doing the same didn't help, despite their efforts to woo me in their sly Abercrombie model way. But I'm a glass half full kinda guy and I can appreciate the two benefits I gained from watching New Moon:
1. I won't be asked to read anything vamp-mormony for a while and 2. I really did get pretty drunk by the time this thing was over.
Ok that's enough bashing for the near future. Sherlock Holmes is out on Blu-Ray which means I have a hot date with a ginger midget.....
All I gotta say is HAHAHAHA. I haven't seen either of these dumb movies nor read any of the dumb books. Mrs. DeLaBaca can champion them all she wants, but those books and movies will never have my eyes upon them.
ReplyDeleteI support both of you in never reading the Twilight series, even if it gets me in trouble with your wives. I read them all and I hate myself for doing so. In fact, I would go as far as saying that I now think I am less of a person and less of a vampire-lover for letting the lameness into my brain.
ReplyDeleteTeam Lestat. Vampires shouldn't sparkle.
