New Moon - Why it was worth it

I went to see New Moon with a friend last night. I have to say the best part for me was before the movie, when the middle aged mom sitting next to me turned to her little girl and said, "Do you have to go potty before the movie starts? Because I'm not leaving Edward."
That made my night, even though some snotty teenagers, the kind that make me want to hate my own generation, came swaggering in ten minutes into the movie talking and laughing and acting like they owned the place, completely disregarding the dozens of people that paid around eight bucks per person to see the blasted movie. I could go on, but that would be a whole other blog.
All in all, New Moon was definitely better than Twilight. Better music, (A great score by Alexandre Desplat, who also did the music for The Golden Compass, along with other movies.) and also a more interesting plot.

Going in, I was concerned about the wolves, because if they were the size of normal wolves and not the size of horses as is the case in the books, the movie would be pretty lame - but I was pleasantly surprised, as they were actually quite huge, and very ferocious. Definitely no disappointment there. Also, bravo to Taylor Lautner for bulking up like crazy. I don't want to "bake cookies on his stomach" like the crazy Jacob fan from the SNL skit, but geeze, he's a veritable beast, the kid deserves the credit he gets.
I'm not a twihard in any sense of the word, but seeing New Moon definitely solidified my opinion of wolfpack over vampire coven any day. Too many reasons why to list. (Does that mean that I choose bestiality over necrophilia? Egads! Er, team Mike Newton all the way... :P) One being that Edward is moody and overprotective and it's annoying to me that he sparkles in the sun like a Tiffany's ring.

On a final note, Edward and Bella (though they be fictional characters) definitely do deserve each other;

Bella: "If you're worried about my soul then take it, I don't want it without you."
Edward: "You are my life now, I don't know how to live without you."

*Eyeroll* See what I mean?

Anyway, it was worth it for the music and the wolves. :)
