No electronics were harmed in the making of this party

And for that, I for one, am VERY grateful.
And yes, I saw the movie. Final tally:
- Edward= HOT but looked constipated instead of angsty.
- The shimmering like diamonds skin = EPIC FAIL.
- Rosalie= I pictured her in my mind like a Veronica Lake type. Not what was translated on screen. AT ALL.
- The Family Playing Baseball: Best Scene EVER, right after the forest scenes that were stunning.
- The kids at the High School: Too skinny. Scary skinny.
- The makeup job for the Cullen Family= whomever did the makeup for this film needs to be relieved of their brushes, and the cinematographer who saw the dailies needs glasses. How they could let that makeup job be projected on cinema screens is baffling. It was HORRIBLE, and very distracting. Humpf.
Anyway….
I was resoundingly disappointed. The only saving grace was that I was with people who felt just as I did, and we could commiserate. Oh, and a theatre that had a full bar. That was a nice touch.
Now, I need a nap, and some ballet in Mount Dora. After that, dinner with the family, and game night. The perfect end to a perfect weekend.

I think it’s interesting that all of you felt the exact same way about the movie…I mean, normally one person in a crowd would stand out, right? You are all zombies!
I’m totally kidding. So glad you had fun, yay!

I really liked the movie, and I loved how the Cullens looked.
Alice and Charlie and Jacob seemed like perfect casting for me, and I loved Bella.
So, did Karl pull a Karl in Tampa?

Hilly: Yep, we drank the kool aid or was it rum and coke, I can’t remember!
Avitable: The makeup for the Cullen family in just about every shot you could tell when the makeup ended and their skin began. And Peter Facinelli with blond hair is just so darn PAINFUL; it hurt my eyes because he is just so gorgeous to begin with. I was disappointed in the casting of Rosalie just because I had a vision of what I thought the writer was trying to describe to me when I read the book and I thought it was more of a Veronica Lake type look. I guess I was wrong. It happens.
Karl was a perfect gentleman and even rocked the karaoke! Not a one of us vomited even once! A great time was had by all!

Colleen: Ybor City Centro Ybor Theater. I had no idea either, but it was a nice treat!!
Britt: You have NO IDEA how close we came AGAIN to a water catastrophe when Anissa put her purse on the bar and a guy spilled his drink right near her purse! It was a scary moment, let me tell you!
