I guess this entry's just me describing the experience of seeing New Moon. It got kinda long, so I'll post an entry on my thoughts of the actual movie later.

Sadly, I did NOT yell "Jump, Bitch!" either times I saw New Moon. The midnight premier had people patrolling and I was near the aisle. They were very, very strict about kicking people out. I'd spent $18, and did not fancy waking up my dad to pick me up early because I'd been kicked out. There were also a couple of girls next to me who looked about twelve. I did not want to piss off their mother. The second time, being this morning, had a lot more children, and many weren't even in their double digits.

Me and my Twilighter friend decided to go to the New Moon midnight premier at the last minute, and another friend (Sam, who I watched it with the second time) told me that it had all sold out. My friend immediately went to go buy tickets and told me that there were only three tickets left for it. THREE. They were showing Twilight first at 9:30, and we decided I should meet her there at 9. Good thing she showed up way before that to get seats. The place was crowded even before that. My friend was going on and on about Taylor Lautner in all his hotness and shirtlessness in New Moon. I just wanted to see him without that damn ugly wig on.

I really did want to go to this premier. I think that the movies are a massive improvement on the books. And, despite being awful movies, they are enjoyable for me. However, my reluctance to go out of fear of being surrounded by nutjobs who thought that the series was good was well-founded. First of all, there's my friend. I love her, really. But Twilight is all she has ever read. I started to suspect as much when, prior to the premier, I said that I was looking forward to seeing the performance of Jamie Campbell Bower, as he would be in the next Harry Potter movies. I told her that he would be playing Grindelwald and she asked who he was. Sam asked if she'd read the books and she replied no. It may be a little judgmental of me to assume that people who don't read Harry Potter don't read at all, but my way of thinking is if you haven't read Harry Potter, what have you read? She hadn't even read Meyer's other book, The Host. Many people say that it's alright to like Twilight as long as it gets you to read other books. I say yeah, right. "Do I look as if I've read anything BUT Twilight?"

Secondly, I got to witness Team Edward vs Team Jacob with my friend and one of her friends in the row in front of us. My friend is obviously for Jacob, even being blinded to his actions after the end of Eclipse. Her friend was exactly the same, only with Edward. When me and my friend pointed out his stalkerish behaviour, she declared that it was okay. Because it was Edward and he is hot. Apparently, it's only creepy when anyone but Edward does it. Her friend was with a Team Switzerland. I liked her and would have liked to talk to her, as she was very much sane. Switzerland brought up the issue of imprinting being completely wrong and disgusting as Renesmee had no choice and I wanted her babies. However Team Jacob and Edward were quick to tell her that it was mutual. No, it isn't. I'm kind of disturbed that I know more about Twilight than those psychos.

Thirdly, the constant bashing of not-Twilight fans. My god, I can't believe that they actually talk like that. I felt horrified sitting there and listening to it. My friend said that she was annoyed because no one at her work liked Twilight. They talked about how they wanted to slap and hurt people who don't like it, and how awesome Twilight is so how could anyone not like it. I also found out that my friend actually hurt someone for not liking it. That really shocked me. She's my friend and I really love her but such behaviour is sickening. She bit the guy (he was her friend, not a stranger - not that that makes it any better) and he was bleeding. Her response? "HA! That's what you get for not liking Twilight!"

So, yeah, I fucking hate Twilight fans. They're just not right.

Watching New Moon this morning was much better! Sam came with me. He told me the reason he'd wanted to see it so bad. It was for the same reason as my Twilighter friend; shirtless Taylor Lautner. He talks throughout entire movies and likes to laugh and call Bella pathetic. It was much more lulzy with him around, though we were still surrounded by crying mothers. There was one young teenage boy who gave up and started playing on his DS. The fans were not any less annoying. In fact, it was worse. Whenever Jacob was on there was screaming and oooooing and whistling. Damn annoying. I was tempted to yell at them to go get laid seeing as how they were so sexually frustrated. But the ages of kids and given that they themselves seemed to be ranging from ten to sixteen... so kinda inappropriate. To my amusement (and relief), shirtless Edward did not get the same treatment.
