rivendellroseSaw "Eclipse" last night. It was better than the previous two, thank god. They seem to have figured out somewhat how to do makeup (ie, no more bits of skin showing behind Pattinson's ears and under his jawline), but still cannot find a lipstick that doesn't clash with everything and make him look like he's been slobbering all over a raspberry Danish between takes. Kristen whatshername and Pattinson still have the absolute least chemistry of any pair of actors ever. "Twilight with Cheeseburgers" still infinitely more entertaining, but at least this time movie was seen with booze (I had a sangria, and it was lovely).
Also, for the record: In all my life as a Seattle-ite, I have seen the kind of rain they showed at the beginning of the movie exactly once - in a summer downfall about seven years ago that shocked the living hell out of everyone I knew. That kind of rain is not normal Seattle rain. That kind of rain is, in my humble experience, an instant summer downpour, usually found somewhere like New Hampshire (sure as hell where I found it) and it lasts about five minutes and then vanishes.
And why do they say vampires turn to dust, when it is clear that they actually turn into plaster? These are the mysteries that filled my mind throughout the movie. As well as "why am I here?" and "is it actually possible for people to find it attractive that these people look so completely uninterested in kissing each other? And what are the odds that the vampires are all built like the anatomically-challenged Ken dolls they otherwise resemble?"
...Oh, and that's the damned ugliest engagement ring I have ever seen.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tavern_wench1 rightly called it a jewel-encrusted cockroach. nightsinger pointed out that it would be impossible to wear a wedding band with it. I just thought of Tiffany's selling a reproduction to all the goggle-eyed Twihards who will be making their fiances (who are already encouraged to stick their hands in the fridge before touching them) buy said reproduction. And then I shuddered a little. Well. A lot.
Now, it is quite hot again (still) in my apartment, so I am going to get dressed, find my netbook's cord, and run away to a cafe for a good part of the day, because I think that's the only way I'm actually going to get anything done.
