9-11 Anonymous

I am a Twilight fan.

I was a Twilight fan before it became the 'in thing'.

The movies... are okay. I like the visuals I created in my head better in may instances, and a few of my more favourite scenes were never produced (who didnt want to see Bella driving that ridiculous 'danger-proof' car!?); however, I still enjoy them and go to see each one in the theatre. I have this way of being able to separate books from their movie companions so that I may enjoy both equally and without disappointment. Its a gift.

Now for the big 'but' of it all. Robert Pattinson. I like the guy. Hes done some good movies, and he is cute... but the ridiculously-good-looking-timeless-Edward, he is not. Especially when I found out who Stephanie Frehner was picturing as Edward as she wrote it! Now he I could see. Me-ow! Stupid aging though, bummer.

Anyways, this is not a rant about the downfall of Edward in the movies. It is actually about the actor himself, sort of - hes just my lead in.

I just watched Remember Me for the first time (and I was in the mood for a silly romantic comedy type of movie! ha.). Robert Pattinson may not be my ideal pick as Edward (and who of you really cares who I think should or should not be Edward), but I truly enjoyed him in this role as Tyler Hawkins.

I must admit, as many of you probably are able as well, I usually see plot twists or endings coming from a mile away. But this one caught me off guard. I never clued in until I saw the date written on the blackboard at the very-near ending. Then, all I could think was a mental jaw-dropped 'no way' as the reveal shock waved my Hollywood-dulled system.

A perfect storytelling. The best way really. 9-11 really did happen like that. Real lives with real people, mundane predictable every day Hollywood stuff, and then, BAM! Nobody saw that coming.

And it wasnt something I saw coming in the movie either. A real life depiction... must have been an indie-film.
