Don't know whether it was 5 or 6. Doesn't matter anymore. For my age group (40+) I'll bet I would win the prize. I just keep agreeing to go with any one of my friends who wants to go. The girls are laughing. And I'm not really a Twilight Mom, as my girls are in their 20s, and one will not go see the movie till its on DVD. (Doesn't like theatres....)
There are some universal reactions from all my friends. All have said how handsome Edward Cullen is. Not sure that translates directly to Rob Pattinson, as he looks different in person. (The hair.....)(the youth...as I have said before, he is younger than my youngest..) Everyone likes that the action is not too intense, no swearing, they like the "sexual" undertone (that one is hard to quantify, isn't it?) They like Bella. Most identify gaps in the story line that leave them a bit out in left field...but you cannot in 2 hours take hundreds of pages and cram them into a story line. People universally like the shots in the forest and in the meadow. Also the bedroom scene.....(we are all married women, some for several decades, and it brings back that memory of hot passion of the first romance/liaison...)
So this is a great love story. Hope the new director gets it right when they start on New Moon, which promises to be interesting. I'm wondering how they'll do the Italian portion, how they'll explain the Volturi -- it's a leap. That movie will have modern vampires, ancient vampires and the Quileute wolves to deal with. Hmmmm.
But many of my friends, all over 40, have bought New Moon. Will New Moon earn Summit another big bag of cash?
Personally, I liked Midnight Sun a lot, and think it could or should be finished (Go Stephenie) and either could have scenes cut into upcoming movies or done on its own, if she did finish it. Give her the money, someone. And release the DVD, Summit. Good Christmas present for us.
