Twilight Highlight


So-I was a watching Twilight and I just had one question. Why the leggings? Why? Anyone else know what I'm talking about? When she goes to the prom at the end and she is wearing capri length leggings (with a lace cuff no less) under her dress.Why? I know she has an air cast thing on (spoiler alert!) but I don't think that warrants wearing leggings. C'mon wardrobe people. I am totally out of it-probably won't ever be stylish again, but even I know that you don't wear leggings (which didn't really match) to prom. Yuck.

Other thought on the movie. Yes I have read the books. All of them. I sincerely think they're good. I don't own any twilight based clothing or memorabilia so I guess I'm not a super fan (why do they make "team Jacob" shirts? Anyone rooting for Jacob? C'mon) but I thought the books were well written in that they were intriguing and addictive. I think they are more for the teen crowd, but I still enjoyed them.

I liked the movie more than I thought I would. I even liked the actors that played Bella and Edward more than I thought I would. Loved the actor that played James aka. Volchok. What a good bad boy. Not a fan of the actors that played Charlie, Jacob, Rosalie and Carlisle (Can't Hardly Wait, anyone?) but that always happens when you read a book and then see the movie. This flick had majorly cheesy parts! When she's talking to Edward in the hospital and she freaks out about them being apart. You know what I'm talking about. Acting class is calling you Kristen.

Anyway-I really just wanted to post about the leggings, but now you know my twigh-life story. Kurt and I went to bad last night with him asking me questions about vampires...silly.

Just wanted to point out that Kelli posted this-not Kurt. I don't think Kurt noticed the leggings...

I not only hated the leggings but also the grandma sweater she wore to prom, I am also no fashion expert by any means but I did not like it either. I also agree about the movie, good overall but the book was much better. Last point to agree on, acting class for Kristen in the hospital scene and there were a few scenes taht were overacted by Edward as well (what's that actor's name?). I am way more nerdy than you I saw it on opening night, won't do that again it was like being in junior high again!

Kelli, so much to say I hope I remember it all. You cracked me up with this. I thought the SAME thing with the tights underneath the prom dress!!! So weird and unecessary. I didn't like who they picked for Rosalie or Carlisle...and yes I did recognize him from Can't Hardly Wait. Kinda ruined him for me. The reason why there was cheesey parts in the movie is because the book is totally cheesey. And yes some stupid teenagers ARE rooting for Jacob! What?!

Like Elizabeth, kudos to these thoughts! (Though I DID kind of like Carlisle -- probably because of the whole Mike Dexter thing there...) And even through the negative points of said movie version, I know I'll be there opening weekend this November, too. :)
