New Moon

I am super, wild, crazy excited about watching the movie New Moon.

Last year when Twilight came out, I was equally excited, and a couple of my Twihard friends and I got tickets to the movie on opening night.

We realized that there would be a lot of people there, but I don't think any of us was prepared for what we walked into that night.

First of all, there were the lines waiting to get into the theater. Lines full of teenaged girls and their mothers. Lines that travelled up and down and around. Did I mention I hate lines?

When we finally got into the theater, we thought all was right with the world. We were soooo excited. And then, the movie started... and the girls in the theater started screaming. Or, to be completely accurate, it was more like high-pitched shrieks. Every time Edward Cullen entered the picture they shrieked. This lasted the entire movie.

It was annoying, to say the least.

But, that wasn't even the worst thing. I know I teach young teens, so I shouldn't play into the stereotypes about them, however.... I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Teenagers can often be rather obnoxious when in large groups with other teenagers.

The teenage girls sitting behind us not only talked throughout the entire movie, but one of them also kicked the back of my friend's seat throughout the majority of the movie. No look we gave was dirty enough to halt the socializing or the seat kicking. Finally, my other friend turned around, grabbed the girl's foot, and gave her a death look. The kicking ceased; the chatting did not.

It was by far the most unpleasant moviegoing experience I have ever had.

So, though I am beyond excited to see New Moon, I am rather wary about when and where I will see it.

I will keep you posted.
