"Hold on tight, spider monkey." We watched "Twilight" with our friend Harper Thomson, and we all took our burgers with extra ketchup. We're closing out our "Kristen-mas" season with the first installment of the "Twilight Saga," and this movie is insane in the best possible way. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have gotten a lot of flack over the years for their portrayals of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, but they were making some real choices, and let's be honest— real teenagers can be insufferable sometimes, so maybe those choices were valid.  Meanwhile, K-Stew and R-Pats are living their best post-franchise lives, making interesting movies, and being generally cooler than any of us, so who's laughing now? We talk about meme-able moments from the film, the interesting styling choices, and the lasting impact of the franchise on pop culture. Will this be the first review of the entire FIVE-film saga? Possibly. These movies only get kookier as they go on— stick around to find out!
