But I still wouldn't watch them willingly.
The Twilight movies work a lot better when you think of them as comedies, or maybe it was just that I came in at the right time near the end of the second one. I mean, I guess I was supposed to think that those vampire-like beings who aren't really vampires but are actually more like venomous disco balls were scary and that the scene was tense and I was supposed to be worried for our heroes safety, but really, of the big three, two of them looked very tired, and the third, well, he was far too busy chewing on the scenery and being all bug-eyed to be anything but hilarious. (I could also have easily imagined him holding a frilly parasol, but if you don't know where that joke comes from, you probably don't find it nearly as funny as I do.) Then again, it could have been that after working for eight and a half hours, and getting home somewhere around midnight, that I was just plain exhausted. But man, did I need a laugh, and for some ungodly reason, that movie stepped up to the plate to provide it. Well, at least for the several minutes that I was able to watch it before turning to something else because really, I didn't care, and once the crazy ones left the scene it was just Dead Cedric and the Drippy Girl talking to Big Shirtless Ron, so there was no real reason to stay, and besides, I think there was something happening on the Food Network.
