Last night I went to see New Moon with my two cute American/Korean friends in MyeongDong, Seoul. I was really excited because I LOVED the first Twilight movie and wanted to see more of Ed Cullen. I expect there will be the rolling of eyes by some reading this post. OK, sure it's a teen flick. And yep, it's a painfully cheesy vampire love story also. But the guys in it are seriously HOT - young as they may be.
When I saw the first Twi movie with my brother and a friend last year, I became a big fan of it - much to the dismay of the guys - who thought it was utter tosh. More to the point, I had become a HUGE fan of the actors in the movie.
I was partciularly mesmerised by the chiseled jawline, and hallowed cheeks of Robert Pattinson who plays the main vampire, Edward. He had the whole Edwardian Dandy look going on, and I was somewhat besotted. It goes without saying that I expected this year's movie to reignite the burning flame within. I was after all, TEAM EDWARD all the way!
My word, how vacillating I can be. I don't know how it happened, but it seems that little Jacob Black: Edward's rival, had grown into quite the man over the past few months. And my, what a bod. To be frank, I feel plain wrong admiring the beauty of 17-year old Taylor Lautner ...but man, that kid is ripped. He must have been at the steroids, surely?
Sadly, Ed's body left much to be desired. Sure he plays a vampire, and vampires are meant to be gaunt, pasty creatures of the undead. But c'mon Robert, you could have toned up a little for the movie, no? I mean, it mustn't feel too great being sidelined by a teenager who first graced the big screen donning the most outrageously ridiculous wig EVER. Have to say: I'm so thrilled the wig and Jacob parted ways.
So for now, it would seem that I have defected to the other side, that is: TEAM JACOB. Mr Black may be a little kid, but it would appear that there is one hell of a beast waiting to be unleashed. Grrrr...

*This post is dedicated to Dee - she REALLY loved the movie*
I haven't read the books and I haven't seen New Moon- but I knew from the first movie that I'm on Team Jacob. I personally don't find Robert Pattinson that attractive and Taylor looks a lot like a guy I know that just does it for me. YUM!
