First off – Kanesha and I are members of Team Edward – just had to start there…
We went to see Eclipse together on opening night and hardly a shock here – we loved it. We especially loved Edward – but that is so easy. Of course the marketing juggernaut that is Hollywood is everywhere – including our local Nordstrom, Target and TJ Maxx!
So, rather than post a review of the movie, we wanted to comment on the many newly observed multigenerational elements of our movie experience…
Here we are talking before the movie started…

As we got to the theater Kanesha said, “I don’t want to push and shove, but I will…” Good thing we are both always thinking ahead – we had left plenty of time to get our snacks and get our choice of seats. In fact, we were so early that we ended up chit-chatting with 2 people immediately behind us.
Turns out it was a grandmother and her 14-year old granddaughter. Kanesha and I looked at each other knowing right away what the other was thinking – this would be perfect for our blog. And we were right…
This turned out to be a multigenerational movie experience: A grandmother and her grand-daughter in the theater together on opening night.
Then of course we have the Cullens themselves: adults, albeit vampires, who live with their parents and have for decades despite several of them being “married.”
Then we looked around the theater and people of ALL ages were ticket-buyers – the obvious tweens and moms, but also many grandmothers… and I am happy to say, a number of grandfathers!

In the end, while we loved the movie, we also had a whole new level of appreciation for what a range of people appreciate the Twilight story-line. And we loved the many ways in which we “experienced” multigenerational living while gushing over Robert Pattinson! (face, eyes, jawline, hair, articulation, and voice just to name a few…)
Sorry team Jacob members!
