NOOOOOOOO!!!!

I blame you.  You people.  All of you people that didn't watch Pushing Daisies.  How dare you.

Yeah, so it's canceled.  The sweetest, cutest, most visually amazing show that's been on TV for years, and it's canceled.  I will never, in all my days, if I live to a ripe old age, understand television, and how shows like 2 1/2 Men stay on for eons and are nominated for awards, and shows like 30 Rock and Pushing Daisies and Arrested Development and Veronica Mars struggle and gasp and then die. 

That ALMOST killed my buzz from the boots I just got in the mail that are perfect and I love them, and they came in like 2 days even though I got the 7-14 day shipping.  Yay!

Oh, and also, it appears that "canceled" only has one L.  How embarrassing.  Who knows how long I've been doing that.

So we went to the Twilight midnight premiere last night and fought through hordes of fainting and be-glittered high school girls, and oh! it was every bit as deliciously cheesetastic as I wanted it to be.  And yes, my wee juice box of merlot was the perfect accent to the whole thing.  Thanks, Kat!  Seriously guys, it's not good.  But it's so good.  Here are a few of the thoughts that I had during the whole thing:

-Holy crap, the TRAILER for the Unborn is frikking scary.  And evidently most of the audience last night agreed with me.  I know I'm a big baby about these things but I could go the rest of my life without watching just the TRAILER again.

-Kristen Stewart talks like somebody took a pepper shaker full of periods and sprinkled them all over her script.  She's all. halted. and like. spurtsoutafewwords. and then. stops.  Oh, and also, I think her eyes are like in permanent REM sleep mode, just rapidfire back and forth and back and forth.  But honestly?  It's kind of like a real, somewhat shy and awkward 17-yr-old girl.  Like, an actual real one, not all polished up for the screen.  I believed her as somebody that high school kids would fall all over and that would really truly not like it.

-Charlie was one of my favorite characters in the movie.  I don't know why, he was too good-looking to fit the book, but I liked him.

-Jasper is by miles the cutest person in that movie.  Edward schmedward.

-Speaking of, I am by no means a fan of the body builder types, but seriously, Robert Pattinson.  Would it have KILLED you to pick up a couple weights or something?  Just to get rid of the like totally flabby kinda hairy upper arms - a wee bit of toning.  And hello, also not a fan of excessive man-grooming, but I think a chest wax wouldn't have been out of line for a supposedly 17-yr-old supposedly vampire.  He was just a bit icky in a few parts.  Does nail the "smoldering eyes" though.  I guess that was a must.

-I think I want to rent that one martial arts movie that the bad vampire guy was in and watch it with Erin.  I bet it'd also be craptastic but with awesome fight scenes, and I'm a sucker for those.  And she's a sucker for Cam Gigandet.

-That movie was the weirdest combo of really cool CGI/other effects for the vampirey stuff, and then REALLY corny ones.  They did some stuff that was so subtle or mostly off-screen or done sort of organically in some way instead of with CGI, and then the next scene would be just distractingly bad.  Ok, humiliatingly corny uniforms aside, I did think the baseball scene was one of the coolest as far as the effects and the dynamics of their group and how they'd use their 'powers' or whatever.  Bella and Edward's romp through the forest, yikes.  Not so good.

-I thought Carlisle and Esme were totally miscast from pictures, but both of them totally sold me.  Esme has about 4 seconds on screen but she NAILS it and gets across a ton of the character in so little time.  Most of it was honestly just her look, but she was just right.

Ok I think that's all I can say by way of a review.  Other than that it was SO fun just to go with all my friends!  I'm so glad everybody came!  I wish we had all been in the same theater, but it's cool I guess.  My recommendation to you is if you go see this movie, see it soon or in some way ensure that you will be in a theater packed out with teenage girls.  I feel like there are parts that might kind of (completely) fall flat if you were, say, mostly alone.  But in the right company, and having unleashed your inner dorky melodramatic 14-yr-old girl, it's totally fun.
