audience reaction: N/A--It was just me, myself and I watching this movie.
2nd audience reaction: The audience was genuinely entertained by this movie.
recommendation: I liked how this parody film highlights the shortcomings of the first two Twilight movies, and how it added stuff which made a lot of sense, considering the supernatural aspect of the story, itself. In short, if you're not a Twilight fan, well, then, this movie is for you!
spoiler alert! They should have rushed this off to theatres before THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE came out.
fyi: The movie2k.com version is short by about 10 minutes, so I will have to watch this again on the big screen to find out if anything is shown during and after the Ending Credits. And also because I need to find out how a typical movie audience will react to this parody film.
word of advice: Life is a Bitch and it Sucks--but not in the way that you can brag about it to anyone and everyone!
tidbits: I was at my friend Hector's place earlier today. And he, his wife and I sat down to watch THE INFIDEL on movie2k.com. That was when I realized that this movie, VAMPIRES SUCK, was already uploaded on the site and ready for viewing. So I decided to see it as soon as I got home. Oh, we also watched DESPICABLE ME while I was at his place.
'Something I forgot to tell you all about movie2k.com .... First, you need to install the Mozilla Firefox web browser in your computer. Then, use the Firefox browser to search for DownloadHelper ( which is owned by Firefox, by the way ). After you find DownloadHelper, install it in your computer, too. After you've done these two things, you should be able to watch free movies on movie2k.com--provided, of course, that you have a fast Internet connection.
2nd tidbits: I was at my friend Hector's place earlier in the day because I needed his son, Ismael, to help me print out my e-mail correspondence with an out-of-state company that sent me a duplicate order of something which I ordered, and never sent me a return postage with a tracking number so that I could send the duplicate order back to them. Instead, they just kept sending me a bill month after month. And I'll be damned if I pay for anyone's mistake! They've now hired the services of a collection agency to try and get me to pay-up on something which I didn't order. But I have e-mail proof that they acknowledged their error and promised to send me a return postage with a tracking number. And I also have my checking account statement from my bank which shows that I paid for what I had ordered. With my proofs, I will send a letter to the company president, the collection agency, the Better Business Bureau, and maybe even to Consumer Affairs and both State Attorneys General. If the company's customer service treats me, an 8-year plus customer in good standing, like this then I no longer wish to do business with said company. ( If you must know, the company is none other than Nightingale-Conant. )
We also watched ONG BAK 3 on movie2k.com. I saw ONG BAK 2 last year in Berkeley, California. He died in part 2! So, I don't know how and why he came back from the dead! And it didn't help matters much that the English subtitles were poorly written. They should have hired the services of Cine-Man to do the subtitles for them.
During the preview for PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2, some girls in the audience sounded scared. Hmph! women ....
