Cultural Opportunity #2 (New Moon Premiere)

EDWARD CULLEN!!!! Those two words, normally don't stand out. At the 2nd installment of the Twilight series, New Moon, premiere, that name could start a stampede. The Twilight saga has created a spitting frenzy of obsessive fans from their early teens to forties. It's city vs. city, best friend vs. best friend, sister vs. sister. It's Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. No, this isn't a WWE smackdown; this is hardcore twilight action, all in front of roughly a 2000-person audience (according to the Journal Star) all decked-out in supporting team gear. It was absolutely insane. There were people EVERYWHERE. I (Team JACOB-FIND-SOMEONE-ELSE/Team Jasper-because Jasper's that shmexy) went with my friend(Team Jacob/Team JFSE/Team Find-A-Better-Edward) and her sister(Team Edward/Team Whoever's-Shirtless-At-The-Moment =] ) and have been seriously anticipating the release since Twilight came out. (The first movie was a total fail. With a new director, I had to hope it got better.) Anyway, we sat two rows from the front for the ultimate up-close, I-can-probably-look-up-Edward's-nose-if-I-tried viewing experience. The movie actually holds a semi-standing chance with the other movies that are out right now. New Moon almost joins the ranks of a decently produced movie. (The wolves were kind of out-there, but otherwise the acting somewhat got better with the exception of Robert Pattinson sounding like he doesn't know English and the fact that Kristen Stewart was simply not born to act. Sorry if this offends anybody, but honestly, Summit could do better. )
