Diane and I went to the movies last night.
We saw Twilight.
Before the movie Monkey and I were feeling a bit peckish so I got some refreshments. I got a thing of pretzel bites, and a small soda. The soda ended up being a small bucket of sprite. I’m not sure I drink that much soda in a week. The bill was $12 or something outrageous like that, and the cashier asked me if I wanted some candy to go with my pretzels and soda. I responded that if I buy any candy I’m gonna need to take out a second mortgage on my house. She stared blankly at me. I’m guessing mortgage humor falls short on a 16 year old girl just trying to do her job. I was just the creepy old guy buying some snacks.
Twilight was interesting.
I liked the protagonist Bella, and the story was good, but it was frankly the worst portrayal of vampires I have ever seen in my life. Really I was thinking the entire time that I was watching Ziggy Stardust parade around the screen.

Actually if they were just parading it would have made sense to me, but they were kinda sashaying around. If the male protagonist, Edward is supposed to be brooding, them be brooding, not a freakin’ queen. There were a number of times in the movie where I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing out loud. Frankly, I even saw Monkey laughing once or twice. Somewhere Bella Lagosi is rolling over in his grave.
I had another thought last night. So you have a vampire who is basically stuck in a 17 year old’s body, but is really 200 years old or so. He is totally skeeving out over a real 17 year old girl. How do you hold a conversation? When I look at the kids at the university, I think they look a little young, to be 200 and smitten with a 17 year old, I gotta say that’s just really pervy. I’m just saying…

And in another thought, completely unrelated to vampires. Is every cover that the deftones do creepy or is it just me?
Take for instance this one and this one…
Be safe, have a great thanksgiving.
I will be counting my blessings for sure.
Thanks for reading.

Marc,
Come on. Don't mess around with these cheesy kid vampdrama's...
you need to go see "Let the Right on In." Foreigners make the best vampire movies.
seriously. a co-worker just called it the best "color" vampire film he's ever seen.
In fact, maybe you went to twilight on accident thinking that you were going to the other one?
Possible?
you were a skateboarder?
