Oh believe me, I'm not. I DO think the movie is going to be all kinds of epic and sort of awesome, but mostly for the reasons in that article and the fact that (1) RPattz hated his character and played him as an angry OCD virgin who hates himself and (2) KStew played Bella with the perfect blank, boring, pissed-off vapid expression, with little emotion. *I judge here from the trailers.* Therefore, the characters will be just as I think of them in my head-- really, really screwed up.
I, uh, caught a midnight showing of the flick last night/this morning (she's blogging it extensively; I've mostly curled up in the fetal position). It is GAWDAWFUL. Take a friend; having someone to mouth "WHAT THE FUCK?" at is the only thing that got me through.
RPattz does indeed manage to get an amazing number of pained expressions into the movie.
Here's what I said to my friend about seeing it: "I do want to see it. I want to see it with people like you and Tat and I want to recaption everything Edward says so it is more hilarious. I want to laugh every time Edward has a weird hair moment. I want to piss off stupid teenagers in the theater and get thrown out for giggling at Edward's stupid sparkle.
That's why I'm staying home."
I will see it eventually under these circumstances and it will be awesome.
