Thumbs way down for Twilight

By -



I (Rachael) rented Twilight from Redbox last night and I was very disappointed in it! I had this great story all planned out in my head and it was NOTHING like it was in my head. It never is but I had a little hope. First off, Edward is not cute! Edward's parents are way to young to be real. Jasper looks horrible. He has no personality. Charlie is not fat enough and Jacob needs to be taller and a little bigger. He is suppose to be this big, strong guy and he is not. Some of the scenes were that horrible gray/green that just made it look bad. This is one of the reasons why I don't read books is because the movie just ruins it all for me. Good thing it was free, I would have been mad if I would have spend $9.50 on it.

This is all MY opinion, I know there are lots out there that loved it so don't hate me, I'm just expressing my disappointment.

I would have to say that I was not too happy with the movie rendition either. I thought that Edward should have been better looking and not so gay. The father would have been a much better pick. Now I thought the same thing about Jacob then I remembered that he is not big until after he transitions. So I think he will look different in the next movies. I think that if you had not read the book it would have been hard to follow because they really flew through they story. I agree a total let down from the books!

That's funny because I also watched Twilight last night! In fact, Doug was so disgusted that we only watched an hour, and I finished it this afternoon. I totally agree with your assesment. LAME movie. It's like they just recreated scenes from the book in random order with no emotion to link them together so that they made sense. Although, I have to say I did not like the books either. I think it sends the WRONG message to teenage girls. Bella would rather die than be without Edward?? Give me a break! Ok, enough ranting. :)

I concur. I like the books...Seriously disappointed with the movie. My imagination is soooo much better! Hopefully, New Moon won't be as ridiculous. (bigger budget, new director)

Well I'm glad to hear your review. I have not seen the movie yet because I loved the books so much and I didn't want it to ruin it for me. Now I will probably not see the movie. Sorry for you time you spent watching a terrible movie!

I was pretty disappointed in the graphics. I hope on the next movie they do better.

I couldn't agree with you more, loved the books, hated the movie!! I'll still go see the next one though, if for nothing else then the laugh factor.

DIY Storage Bed

A couple weeks ago I was digging under my bed for my shoes (I'm really organized).  As I reached under there my hand was stabbed by a jagged piece of my box springs.  A little more investigating told me that 5 of the the 10 crossbars on there were cracked in half.   I had always wanted a storage bed but when I saw the prices ($299 and up) online I was taken aback.  I then found this link on Pinterest - Storage Bed Plans - and decided to give it a go.  I priced the wood and decided that with a few tweaks I could make this bed for about half the price of a pre-made storage bed.  Plus those IKEA beds and the like are made out of cheap particle board and veneer.  To be honest, I really thought it was going to take me months to get around to doing it because I know how I usually procrastinate.  I bought the wood on June 30th and started work on it July 4th.  I just finished it today and I have to say that I'm a bit shocked I actually complet...

We're having a baby boy in April! We're so freaking excited! I (brad) and more excited that I was right than I was about the outcome of the ultrasound. As a husband I only get to be right once in a while. HAHA. We are working on picking a name but are open to some suggestions. Let's hear your name choices for little baby boy huntsman.

FUN IN THE RAIN

YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT DAY! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. ON OUR WAY BACK FROM SODA SPRINGS, WE HAD TO STOP IN POCATELLO AND DROP OFF THOSE SILLY LIFE JACKETS AND OARS @ THE ISU OUTDOOR CENTER. IT STARTED TO HAIL AND RAIN LIKE CRAZY AS WE GOT INTO POKY. THERE WAS ABOUT 6 INCHES OF STANDING RAIN AND THE PUDDLES WERE HUGE. SO WE GOT CLOSER TO IDAHO FALLS, IT STARTED TO CLEAR UP. WHEN WE GOT TO IDAHO FALLS, WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO HIT SOME BALLS AT THE DRIVING RANGE. BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE, THE CLOUDS HAD MOVED IN AND IT STARTED TO RAIN & HAIL AGAIN. WE WERE STUCK AT THE GOLF COURSE UNTIL IT CLEARED UP A LITTLE. AFTER ALL THAT RAIN, THE FRONT OF OUR APARTMENT COMPLEX LAWN WAS FLOODED. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHENA TO GET HER IN THE WATER. SHE IS GETTING MUCH BETTER. SHE LOVED IT. WE HAD A FUN 45 MINUTES PLAYING IN THE PUDDLE.
