Spousal Disclaimer: Dear husband, don't bother to read this post. I am talking about the Twilight series, which I know you think is a complete joke. In my defense, I am not the only grown woman who has been hooked by the books and movie. We are legion. If I could explain it to you, I would. ;-)
Okay. On to the post ...
I didn't watch the MTV Movie Award last night. I was too busy clearing all of our beauty products out of the bathroom in advance of today's big demolition. Can I just say that I could probably finance a pretty awesome vacation with all of the money spent on facial and hair concoctions in that bathroom cabinet? I'm one of these girls who has to try all of the new products. This cream is gonna erase my crow's feet? I need some of that! That lotion is better than Botox? Bring it! This serum will make my naturally curly frizz look smooth, straight, and sleek like Jennifer Aniston's hair? Give it to me! I'm a sucker for beauty buzz despite the fact that I'm almost always disappointed and end up going back to my tried-and-true favorites. You'd think I'd learn.
Anywho ... I digress! Even if I wasn't busy last night, I don't know if I could've watched because I have a difficult time stomaching anything that comes on MTV these days. I knew that the New Moon trailer was scheduled to debut during the awards, so I logged in to YouTube this morning to check it out. I have to say that I'm a little disappointed by what I saw. Granted it's only a minute-and-a-half sneak peek, but the acting just seems "off," especially between the characters of Bella and Edward--or the actors KStew and RPatz for those who are obsessed, which I'm totally not!
Watching this trailer, I couldn't blame my husband--or anyone else who isn't a fan of Twilight--for cringing and wondering what the big deal is.
Regardless, I'll be at the theater on November 20 with all of the screaming teen fan girls, money in hand. Who am I kidding? I'm sure I'll see just as many women my age or older than girls who are younger. Like I've tried to explain to Rob, there's just something about this story line that appeals to almost any person with estrogen flowing through her veins. Age doesn't matter!
For those who haven't seen it, here it is. What do you think? Are you cringing just a little, too?
