I'm taking Sarah Friday after school. Talked her out of going to the midnight premiere on Thursday. (whew)
Anyone else going? Do I have to dress up like a vampire or anything? I'm from the Rocky Horror era - we dressed for our cult movies in those days.

My 19 yr old is taking my 16 yr old to a Thursday 10pm special viewing. I had vetoed the midnight show because she has school the next day but bended when we found out about the 10pm event. I would rather have her a bit sleep deprived then have to listen to her talk about it for one extra day!!! LOL I will take the 12 yr old (and I am sure the 16 yr old will want to see it again) to a matinee on the weekend. My girls are not dressing up and I haven't heard any of their friends talking about doing so.

This movie is getting so much buzz on the internet. Looks like it's going to be huge. The previews look great.

The article might be considered a little spoilerish, but gives some good info about the Twilight phenomenon.

Me either Mocha! Spock looks like the actor from Heroes that plays Skylar.

My daughter and I are going Friday. I bought our tickets online through Fandango because she was afraid it would be a sellout. We just finished all four of the books so she {and her mom} is very excited.

We bought our tix on Fandango, too. Did you get that free download? Wasn't worth the wait for it. My daughter has read and re-read these books sooooooooooo many times. Being in new city and new school, she's made a lot of friends with others who read them a lot, too. I read them all, but only once. Helped me to have something else to escape to for the first couple weeks after our move. Did y'all know that the actor who played Cedric Diggory in the HP movies is in the male lead?

we are going at midnite on thursday. I was against the midnight for a 12 year old, but I found out that there are 9 girls on her dance team of 12 that are all going to the midnight showing (different theater), she was one of the 3 not invited - so I got mad and bought tix last night for the show for me and her. she will be dead to the world on friday, but luckly its only 1/2 day for her.

So, any reviews in yet? I want to see it, but am wondering if I should wait until the hysteria dies down.

I read reviews by Ebert, the Associated Press and Variety and all were very lukewarm. Basically, they said the target audience (teenage girls) will be pleased, but others will likely be disappointed.

Two dd's (age 19 and 16) and a few friends bought their tickets online and then stood in line starting at 7pm for the 10pm show. They both absolutely loved it and both want to go again this weekend (not on my dime lol). My 16 yr old said she did understand the reviews though because if you didn't read the books, the chemistry btn the two stars might be a little.... elusive.

I loved it! I had so much fun last night. The line up before with all of us moms with our tween/teen kids, the wait in the theater when they let us in 1 hour early to get out of the cold.. and the audience reaction when the cullens first appear on screen -- screems, whistles, clapping -- It was so awesome. I really hadn't had that much enjoyment seeing a move in a really long time.

Now yes, its a "teen" film, its no Epic multi-billion dollar movie budget, but it was fun and it reminded me of what it was like to be a teen again, remembering what it was like to experience that "mysterous bad boy" that you can't stop thinking about....

Go for the enjoymnet and fun -- too many times people are so critical of things lately-- just have fun with it....

Lady - took my 11 year old daughter and her friend tonight. Had the same experience. The screaming clapping etc. Fun time, the girls loved loved loved it... especially Edward and I was nearly overrun when I said I liked Jacob better. My how they do get riled up. Apparently you are either on Team Edward or Team Jacob. I am on the bad team according to them.

Sarah and I just got back. We saw it twice - the first crowd was kind of screamy and too loud, so when we snuck into the other showing we caught some of the things we missed. No lectures, please, about sneaking in to another screen -- We bought the $7.50 popcorn and there were plenty of extra seats. Thought it was fun and funny. Did anyone else catch Stephanie Meyers on camera in the diner?

Mocha, go see it!! I saw it tonight! DH was sweet enough to buy our tickets and stand in line to wait while I finished up at work. When I arrived, I found him in a line filled with teenagers and we both giggled silently at how odd we must have looked...lol! When we got into the theater lobby, the masses ahead of us were directed to theater #10 and when we reached the front, we were directed to theater #1. There must have been 20 of us in there for about 15 minutes. 18 of them were teenagers, so when I saw an <cough, cough> older couple walk in, I whispered "come up this way"...hehe. Soon the theater filled in and it was a good mix of teenagers and baby boomers like us. It was all good.

The movie you ask? The beginning started out a little slow for me but then the storyline picked up and I really got into it and enjoyed watching all the action with the vampires and the scenary as well. I like the Cullens. And shoot! I didn't catch Stephanie Meyers in the diner! Hmmmm....maybe I'll need to go see the movie once again...lol!

saw it again last night with my friends from work - picked up a few things that I had missed before. I definetly need to finish the book.
I think I am Team Edward, but being a mom -- I actually like the dad cullen a little more.

Lol Eggie. We're supposed to go Sunday and I'm dragging my friend kicking and screaming. Stylewise he thinks this movie looks like The Covenant. But he's also one who thinks Blade 3 was better than the other 2, smh.

Elizabeth and I are probably going on Tuesday afternoon when there won't be as many screaming teens.
