Twilight was wrongly cast ...chatty thread

[Swedishblue]

So DH arranged a sitter as he has a couple of days off and wanted us to do something. Lovely. We decide on cinema as we haven't been since I was pregnant. There are no films on we particularly wanted to see, but we agree on Twilight. I am not into vampire films and thought I wouldn't like it, but I really did.

But it was wrongly cast! What on earth were they thinking making Edward the main character when it should have been Emmett???
HOW HOT IS EMMETT! He walked through the door with that whatever holding his hand and I just fell instantly in love.
How dare Hollywood, yet again, cast this gorgeous leading lady with a non-attractive main character?

FYI, Edward isn't ugly or anything .... but his face was a bit, I dunno, FLATTENED to me. And come on, what a shocker that he is a vampire - look how insanely pale he is! And those red lips! Hello!
But everything else was just great in this film, I really enjoyed it. The bit where Bella meets the family and she's already eaten to be considerate, and then the newbie vampire is just looking at her like LUNCH ....we were laughing our butts off. Yea, stay away little man, you're a vegetarian now. And cooking italian cause her name is Bella - oh how cute.

So now I am googling emmett from twilight like crazy and I am NOT disappointed by the pictures I've found so far. He's just an all through all american boy and I'm just lusting like mad.

Oh, btw, with Alexander at his aunt's, we were looking forward to a night of adult conversation and no kids in sight. Hence, we decided on going to the cinema. After buying buckets of overpriced popcorn and sweets, who comes into our cinema with three kids and a PRAM in toll. HELLO????
The baby proceeded to scream his/her lungs out at various quiet spots throughout and she didn't think to LEAVE the room. I was seeing red, THEN dh leans in to me in a sudden 'I love children' mode and whispers:
"You know before I had Alex that used to drive me mad. Now, I just pity the woman for the failed attempt. Don't you just love her for trying, BLESS"
Meanwhile I'm gritting my teeth and thinking to myself, I am obviously a mummy on a mission.

In the end I text SIL to say 'So we find a f-ing sitter and go to the cinema, only to be encountered by single mummy plus FOUR kiddos screaming throughout our film. It's called KARMA, just our frigging luck!'
FYI, I'm not really annoyed, I do find it quite hilarious, and NOW I'm laughing JUST MY LUCK!

Oh, and SIL thinks she knows it all cause she's done it three times already. But as I'm dropping off Alexander and the bits he'll need, she lets her 8 yr old kid be in charge who proceeds to miss him falling over and banging his head into her glass coffee table.
She does this every time, just lets her kids be in charge of my son and it makes me see red so now I am on the gin and tonics.
There's always an excuse to go on the G&T's ladies....ALWAYS an excuse.
