Twilight

I mean the movies. Yep, I had slowly watched the first three movies on my own over the last few years, egged on by Holly and Tammy's interest and my interest in pop culture.

The first one I thought was pretty bad. Slow. Crummy acting. But I was hooked enough to borrow New Moon from Holly on DVD. Then I was interested enough to watch Eclipse on HBO. And Tammy was writing about these movies, having been dragged in by her friend JoDee. So when the latest one came out last year on my birthday, I kind of was looking forward to seeing it. When it was released on DVD in February, I kind of said to Todd I wanted to watch it on Pay Per View or get the DVD. In an effort to save a few dollars, he suggested we borrow the whole set from Holly and he'd watch them with me.

This past Friday, we slid in the first one. It was slower than I remember. All the Bella and Edward falling in love scenes are kind of boring. I kind of fell asleep a couple of times. When it was over. Todd told me That was awful, but I want to see what happens next. Exactly!

We watched New Moon Saturday and Eclipse on Sunday night. By then I really was amped to to see Breaking Dawn Part 1 and the gory delivery I'd heard about. We watched Monday night. This is boring, Todd said, unless you're a girl, as the wedding unfolded.

Then she got pregnant and started to look really, really ill. I mean, I was impressed because usually on these movies when the stars are sick they still look glamorous, but Kristen Stewart looked like hell.

So after watching all four movies, we both agree....they are long and drawn out but we want to see what happens next. And officially, Todd decided he was Team Jacob by the second movie, though he felt he was a jerk in the last movie.

Hooked on more crap.
