I've really enjoyed my tradition of trying to catch the latest
Twilight film at the opening night midnight screening. I've gotten a vicarious thrill via the enthusiasm of crazy amped up fans, and their surprising DIY spirit when it comes to accessorizing. This year promised to be even more otherworldly with some folks
encouraging fans to show up in wedding attire. I suppose to celebrate the onscreen nuptials between Edward and Bella. Or perhaps her romantic and chastity pledge approved rough deflowering by her 100+ year old dead yet sparkly husband. Followed of course by her accelerated pregnancy, hubby fang as scalpel c-section and subsequent love connection between Jacob and her infant daughter. Sure - maybe it's a werewolf thing - but it's still pretty freaky. Sorry, sorry .... getting a bit carried away. The final book of the
Twilight series has always struck me as crazy weird if you stop to think about it, and possibly unfilmable. Some might argue they all have proved unfilmable. But I meant it as a challenge, not an insult to the prior films.
Anway - this is all a long winded way of saying I'm not going to the midnight screening starting in less than two hours. I've been battling a cold and getting zero sleep before having to be up for work Friday seems like a very, very bad idea. Instead I'm going to try and catch up on sleep and see the film as soon as I can over the weekend.
Normally I try to share some pictures from fans attending the screening. Obviously, won't be able to do that today. So instead I'm sharing the Spanish language poster for
Breaking Dawn via my friends Kim and John who are vacationing in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Appears John's attempt to get Kim out of the country to keep her from seeing the film may have backfired.
