New Moon is the goofiest, most dramatic, drawn-out movie i've seen since Twilight.
just kidding.
really, that's not what inspired me to put the baby to bed & miss out on the few precious hours i have to sleep before he gets up again just so i can blog for the first time this year. oh no. i've already seen Twilight and was not expecting anything better, (actually worse), and thus i knew exactly what i was getting into today at 15:50 this afternoon. exactly.
quality time with my daughters at the movies.
"what, babe? yeah, the girls want to go to the movies. it is their turn to go, remember? i took the boys to see The Vampire's Assistant last."
"no, i'll take the baby with me. the movie's only about two hours long and i'm sure he'll sleep through it. he'll be fine."
"whatever. or you take the girls. i'll stay home with the baby."
"what do you mean you'll take the girls but i'll have to owe you BIG time?"
so there i was packing the diaper bag while i waited to the girls to come home from school. it was "fend for yourself" night for dinner, so i didn't have to worry about making anything for the boys. the girls stuffed halloween candy into their pockets and off we went.
during the movie i tried not to sigh too loud (they giggled), rolled my eyes too hard ("look at mom, she's doing it again!"), or put my hand over my face (it's not a scary part, mom...") because i was actually embarrassed for the characters/actors. and all the while a there was a little something nagging at me, something about the main character, edward, played by robert pattison. he reminds me of somebody.
maybe because i couldn't focus on the movie (teeny boppy just doesn't do it for me) or because the nagging was carrying over from Twilight, but towards the end of the movie i was going nuts! a convict? some other obscure actor? a whiny, quivering, scrawny nerd from high school? no, no, no...
and then it hit me.
this man-boy
get a goooood look as you scroll down...
looks kinda like this man boy
(the one on the right is from disney's Hercules)
and he also reminds me of this guy
(who also starred in Hercules btw).
rey suggested james dean, and i was able to find a picture of jd that eddie sorta resembles, shown below:
but then rey suggested THIS picture to which the giggling kids agreed eddie really resembles:
that's eric stoltz in Mask. (a pretty good movie based on a true story btw.)
great make-up!
Not you, eddie, i meant eric.
did you get all choked-up when laura dern did the braille thing on his face ad said, "it's beautiful."?
i asked the girls to pretty please explain to me the girl/older women craze surrounding this guy. they said he's pretty gross. (we all gasped in horror when he took off his shirt in the movie, he looks like a cadaver. barf)
am i reaching a bit too much when i put up a picture of jay?
