Remember NOT to see a movie on a Fri night...

UPDATE: New Eclipse footage has been released...and it's way better than the trailer folks!!!

Check it out HERE.

I don't think this post will have any spoilers about REMEMBER ME...I'm gonna talk about it, but not in any detail that will ruin the movie...err...at least I don't think I will. As for the Eclipse trailer...BIG FAT STINKY SPOILERS.

Elusive S & I went to see Remember Me this evening. It was a 7pm showing at a very popular mall. Our originally plan of attack was to see it at one of the smaller, less busy theaters. It wasn't showing there. YUP, the f*ckers weren't showing it. San Diego isn't a ho-dung town in Iowa (no offense to you gals from there)...you'd think we would have had more choices, but honestly we didn't feel like driving far, as we both work early on Sat mornings. To top it off, the show times were super limited...it was like 7pm or 10pm. Hmmmm....7pm please.

We slugged back a glass of wine (me) and a mojito (ES) at CPK, then made our way over to the theatre, tickets in hand. We ended up in line with only about 25ppl...most being teeny boppers and their Mom's, and a few unassuming middle aged "Mom-Jeans." Those are the types you want to look out for...they're usually the super crazy twi-hards that end up drunkenly banging on the door of a bar because they know Jackson Rathbone is inside. Read about that here. Eventually they let us in at about 6:4opm...the theatre was loud and understandably excited...and slightly annoying. I was super f*cking giddy for the Eclipse trailer...I'd remained an Eclipse trailer virgin for 24 hours!!! I truly felt like a 6 yr old on X-mas morning....giggling, bubbly, full of wonder and awe.....and then it was over. Granted it was hard to hear over the squeeling...But I felt a bit let down. Ok....so shoot me...I felt ALOT let down.

You felt "let down"???

Yah...I did. BUT I have a theory about it. I think Eclipse is so much more of an intricate book. Their are so many more details to cover, so Summit must be thinking "why let the cat out of the bag right away?" They must have picked the "ok" parts of the movie (WTF, this movie has ok parts?!?) to show during the trailer so that they could slowly start releasing the kick ass parts later on...(i hope) I just watched it again here at home on my lap top...and although it's exciting...I don't feel the same way as I did when I saw the New Moon footage. Gaaaah! They must be f*cking with us...they must. And the trailer, it wasn't seamless...it was choppy. Was that on purpose? Are they trying to just give us a snippet? I mean...I saw trailers for other movies tonight before Remember Me, that were much longer and included much more detail...What gives? What do you think?

This is how I was hoping I would react: (ps...this chick scares the shit out of me & you might want to turn down your volume!)





And...WTF was up with Bella's wig? Ok, not like I didn't see that one coming...and Edward, please tell me David Slade isn't making him look like a "30 Days of Night" monster/vampire...PUHLEASE David, tell me you didn't do it!?

As for Remember Me...I liked it...a lot. But, I didn't LOVE IT...........crickets............

Maybe it was due in part to the overall annoying-ness of the crowed? Maybe I was too focused on Rob to pay close attention to the dialogue.

"It's ok Jen, you can focus on me all you want."

I mean really...how was I supposed to pay attention with that staring back at me. Good gawd it was like cheap porn. Seeing Remember Me may not have changed my life, but it sure confirmed that ROB is SEX ON FIRE. The man is just absolutely, without a doubt, breathtakingly beautiful. Before I get any more hot n' bothered...here are two thoughts...without ruining it for the rest of you who haven't seen it:

1. The boy can act. Not that I doubted him before, but seeing him in a non-mythical creature roll was refreshing...and he impressed the shit out of me. <~~~ second reference to shit. Don't ask. 2. The ending...kind of knew it was coming...though it was very tastefully done...w/ respect if you get my drift...(to those of you who have yet to see it) Did I mention the movie screen fizzled out at the most pivotal part? Yup. I could have spit. I was so pissed. Granted they fixed it...but we missed about 8 min, and the worst thing...we could hear it. They couldn't rewind the movie...so we missed a chunk. Elusive S may be elusive when it comes to our blog...but the girl is nowhere near elusive in RL. She marched her ass up to guest services right after the movie & we were issued 2 free tickets to see any movie, any time, with AMC. You best believe we're going back to see the RUNAWAYS next weekend...FOR FREE. Bet you thought I was going to say Remember Me....I do want to see it again...but I want to wait for the hype to die down a bit so I can watch it in peace. Sans the teeny boppers and whoopy cushion possessors. Yes, someone actually did that....Normally I would have found it absolutely hysterical, given my penchants for poop and fart jokes...But when you interrupt me and Rob...I will go ape shit on you.

Till next time...
