Nuking the Fridge and Top 10s

I'm back! Iwas just checking the best and worst of anything in Hollywood and the Top 10s of Yahoo! in Entertainment last 2008, and of course Twilight is always one of the picks for their list:

Top 10 Trailers of 2008
(of course Twilight is part of the list) 
Sometimes while watching a flick, there's a moment that is so jarringly stupid, so breathtakingly ridiculous that it throws you out of the movie, leaving you either befuddled or chortling like a lunatic. This year, a term was coined for such a moment -- "Nuking the Fridge"

TWILIGHT--VAMPIRE BASEBALL/WESTSIDE STORY MOMENT
Going into "Twilight," you'd expect to see some teen angst, a little blood sucking, and a lot of moony-eyed swooning. Yet the baseball game might be a surprise. Apparently, vampires love to don uniforms popular during the Black Sox scandal and play ball in thunder storms. Apparently, Edward can bolt after any fly ball with lightning speed, even if the special effects used makes him look more like Speedy Gonzales than an undead dreamboat. And apparently when two rival bands of vampires meet, they face off Broadway-style, like the Sharks and the Jets in "West Side Story."

Hmmm... come to think of it... it does kinda look like the face-off in the West Side Story only in a different way and story, without singing and dancing. Only heaving chests and piercing eyes and sharp teeth! hehehe.
