So, I've seen Twilight 4 times now! I've never seen one movie that often in the theater before. Actually, I've never seen a movie more than once in the theater. I went with a group of friends the Friday it came out (to a matinee showing). I went 2 weeks later with a friend who wasn't able to go with us the first time. Another friend invited me to go see it again last week. Then, this Thursday night, I took Jode on a date to see it. It gets better every time I see it. I think it was a good adaptation of the book; the screenplay was well-written for the most part; the makeup was not the best; the sound mixing could have been better; but all in all it is a good movie. I think I enjoy seeing it with people I love more than I actually love the movie, though it is good entertainment. I laugh out loud at all of the high school drama, sarcasm, funny lines, et cetera. Each additional time I see the movie, I forgive more of the faux pas that really bothered me at first. And, each time I see it, I notice some of the small details that really make an impression, including the subtleties of the acting (I now notice that Edward is often holding his breath or obviously fighting internally with his temptation). The main actors really did do a good job. Anyway. I love the movie. If you ever want a girls night out, call me. I'll go with you to see it again!

Surprise! It's me. Just thought I'd remind you that you went to Titanic more than once in the theater. Wow, that was forever ago!
Yes! You're right. I did mention that to my husband as we went to Twilight on the 4th showing: that Titanic was the only one I've seen more than once. I figured that that was so long ago, that it didn't really count. How many times did we go see Titanic? Which Annette is this? I had 2 roommates named Annette. Good to hear from you!
Deb, I miss you! I haven't heard from you for a long time! Just want you to know you are the best!
