Team Bella

We had so much fun at the midnight show! 3/5ths of us sat on the floor so we could sit by each other and it was still a blast. The only downside to these type of showings is that the audience tends to get a little rowdy. So, yesterday, as I was on my lunch break I went to Michele's house (she lives about 4 blocks from the school I'm working at) and told her I knew it was dumb, but I really wanted to go see the movie again - without all the screaming, oooohing, and catcalls. She confessed that she really wanted to go again also, so we went to the last showing last night.

Theatre was only half full, crowd was much more subdued, and we had excellent seats. A little more than half way through someone a few rows in front of me decided to start texting, and it really interrupted my line of sight. So to fix the problem I extended my arm and held my hand so that it blocked the extremely bright light of the cell phone - I thought it was ingenious - Michele and Theresa (Tree came along with us) thought I was deeply involved with the movie and was holding my hand out to caress Edwards face or shoulder. They started giggling, and when I finally knew what they were thinking we all had tears in our eyes from laughing so hard.

If nothing else this movie has provided the best family entertainment I've had in a long while.

Yes, your extended hand did seem like you were trying to caress Edward. Your hand was in the air for quite a long time and it only appeared in the air when Edward was on screen. Similar to a Vulcan greeting by Spock, Michele and I think a hand extended high in the air, at an odd angle, is now a Twilight greeting.
It was good for a great big uncontrollable laugh in a quiet theater.
