"it's like a drug to me"

Guys, seriously? Seriously. No.

Just the other day, [Rob] Pattinson realized, "there were some girls who had scratched ... the side of their necks so [they were] freshly bleeding when they came up to get a signature.

"They were like, 'We did this for you.' I didn't know what to say. 'Um, thanks guys?'"

Work yesterday was ridiculous, not least because I was exhausted after getting only a couple of hours of sleep. And I'm behind on my NaNo because I didn't manage to get any written since Wednesday (yeah, I suck). But oh, it was worth it for the lulz alone.

I am speaking of course, of the Thursday night/Friday morning midnight premier of the "Twilight" movie.

First, let me say up front that if you haven't read or really heard of the books, don't go watch the movie. It is mediocre at best and you really won't get it. Nor, honestly, do you want to.

However, if you have read the books, heard tons about the books, etc., I actually do recommend the movie. There are two reasons.

1) In many if not all ways, it's better than the book. (If you don't mind spoilers, this sums it up pretty perfectly. I especially recommend #17, and also #20-22.)

2) There is a LOT of humor in the movie (and some of it is even intentional!) For real, watch this, the famous sparkling scene - the sparkling is extremely underwhelming, BTW, so you can barely see it on that video - and try NOT to laugh when RPattz says "It's like a drug to me". Try, I dare you.

My random notes on the movie below the cut.

Okay, I'm done. Bedtime, and tomorrow is a write-in so maybe I can wash 'Twilight' out of my brain and catch up on my NaNo.

But let me leave you with these words of wisdom:

THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER!!!!

Bwahahaha.

And so, goodnight.

what's better than one closeup of eyes? TEN closeups of eyes!

OMG every time I watch the baseball scene, it cracks me up MORE. I love it so much. The video quality is terrible, but come, f-list, LOL with me!

The random slo-mo!

Rosalie's excellent bitch-face!

Emmett and Edward colliding in mid-air in a way that will overjoy all Emmett/Edward slash fans! (If there are any?)

Jasper being f-ing awesome twirling his bat around like a professional cheerleader with a baton!

Rosalie calling Emmett her 'monkey-man'!

Ominous evil-vamps-coming-out-from-the-mist scene!

Closeups of EVERYONE's eyes! (The Evil Vamps have red eyes, while the Good Vamps have brown-gold eyes. Apparently we are very very stupid and need this pointed out to us, not once, but TEN TIMES.)

Edward and James glaring in a way that's sort of weirdly reminiscent of the way Edward glared at BELLA back at the beginning of the movie! (Look, I'm just saying)

Victoria, who has two lines in this scene from a grand total of maybe five for the movie, ROCKING the SHIT out of those lines! (Also, she and Jasper jointly foreshadow Eclipse, which I actually DIDN'T notice the first time I watched it, making this perhaps the most subtle foreshadowing in the movie.)

The Inconvenient Wind of Plot Device-ness!

The Defensive Fighting Poses of Defensiveness! (Which remind me of nothing more than Final Fantasy, when you're 'fighting' but your characters are waiting for you to choose what to do, so they just sort of stand in a defensive posture and gently rock back and forth. Watch it again and say you don't see it.)
