What We Learned from Watching Twilight

Kyle and I spent our Sunday afternoon at the Warren Old Town eating appetizers and watching tween screen sensation Twilight. Just in case you miss it (and really OMG how could you?) here's what we learned:

1. How to identify a vampire:

• Inhuman speed and strength
• Pale skin that is cold to the touch
• Oodles of hair gel
• Penetrating gazes
• In the sunlight they look like they're wearing an excessive amount of body glitter.

2. Some teenagers, like, totally know what they want for the rest of their lives (or deaths, as the case may be). Others just want their boobs to look good at prom.

3. Vampire movies = arty Chinese-language flicks. To whit:

• Crazy flying though trees!
• Intense whirlwind romances elicited by...something, we're not sure
• That's it, really. It's mostly the tree-flying.

4. The more camera angles the better! Why waste 'em?

5. Even fangirls (and guys) will laugh at unintentionally campy moments. Which gives us hope for the next generation.

For a second, I thought that read "fang-girls," and I squeed. I can't wait for our "Team Edward" shirts at craft night--too soon?
