Twilight: New Moon in Review

The Twi-hards were in full effect this weekend! Friday's opening of New Moon earned $72.7 million dollars at the box office, making it the film with the highest grossing single day salesever!!! Are any of you really that surprised? C'mon I was one of those nutcases at the midnight showing and if that wasn't enough, I had to go again the next night. I was fully equipped with my Twilight socks and "Team Jacob" tee. Yes, I have switched teams and now run with the wolves. There is no way you can sit through that movie and not drool over that 17 year old hottie, Taylor Lautner. I could have been arrested for the things I was thinking in my head. But to top it all off, it wasn't even the fact that I saw the movie twice, it's that I met 3 actors of the movie that same day. I waited online at Toys R Us in Times Square to meet Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz, who play Rosalie and Emmett. I was one of the lucky 500 people who had a ticket that guaranteed me to a meet and greet. I got on line around 3pm and was escorted inside around 5pm. Two hour line..not too bad compared to what I would be waiting on later that night. It was the quickest autograph signing of allll time though. Literally, 20 seconds no exaggeration. Kellan was extremely nice. My digital camera was on the fritz, so I proceeded to take pics with the worst camera of all, the damn iPhone. He actually smiled for me and asked if I liked his pose. Aww thanks Kellan, I scored a great pic. On the other hand, Nikki Reed was a total cunterella. She hardly looked up for anyone's pictures and kept her head down while she signed my poster. It's almost perfect she was casted for the part of Rosalie, I guess playing a bitch came naturally to her. I was then off to watch the movie and sit for a couple hours before I totally lost my sanity and headed to 30 Rock.




Around 4am, having not one wink of sleep I headed to Rockefeller Center where the Today Show is filmed. It was a goddamn monsoon out, but I had to meet Taylor Lautner and didn't care if I had to canoe myself there to do it. I was actually the 5th person in line. I couldn't believe it. People were as psycho as me. I was thinking I would be the only one there at that time, but I'm glad I left when I did. I waited online for 2.5 hours before they let us through the barricades. I ran to the spot closest to wear the celebrities walk out and greet their fans. At this point, I may have been delirious, I was running on no sleep or food. It wasn't until 8 am that Taylor finally came through those doors and signed autographs. I felt like a pedophile. He was sooo adorable and unfortunately I had nothing for him to sign but I got the satisfaction I was looking for. I couldn't wait to get home and look at my hot mess of a self on the TV. I replayed the show and there I was screaming in the audience like a lunatic. I guess I can't abuse these Twilight fans anymore, I may be just as bad or maybe worse than they are.
