After thinking about it all day, the only thing I really like in the movies is Rob.
 It's true.
I did think the fight between Jacob and Paul was pretty cool.. and Bella looked like a tough bitch when she hit him. haha |

Are Twilight or New Moon board games any good? Walmart's going to have the New Moon game for $5 on black friday.

Of course, that's my opinion, but I'm still perplexed that they pushed this one as the love triangle. She doesn't seemed confused about how she feels about Jacob until Eclipse. |

looked like. I know he was only 16 and that was before his werewolf transition but I had a much hotter Jacob in mind. Now, in New Moon here he comes with this
perfect ass physique. Like, where the FUCK did this come from?
I can't say too much more, I'm hiding from Chris Hansen as it is but he definitely won me over. He's still not as tall (or as old  ) as I would
like but the body is ON. I had to laugh when Edward took his shirt off in Italy and you saw his scraggly bird chest and hairy nipples. Jacob's body is all
perfect and Edward looks like a meth head. Doesn't make sense to me.
As for the rest of the movie, I think they did a pretty decent job with adapting it to the screen because everything looked exactly how I pictured it. But I wonder, did that Volturi fight happen in the book? I don't remember that part. And Bella's an even bigger dumb bitch on screen than in the book. I HATE her. I hate Edward. Their relationship is even more fucked up to see in the movie. So twisted. He talks to her like she's stupid and she just goes along with it. I wish they had changed it and just let Sam eat her stupid ass.  Who does she think she is just
slapping people? Stupid Bella. lol
That said, as always... TEAM JACOB. 
And Rosalie's wig was beyond horrible... so was Jacob's. Even worse than before. Looking forward to 'Eclipse' in June. I just need these movies to be over so I can stop sneaking around and dabbling in the Twilights. I think this is my first legitimate 'guilty pleasure'. Only a few people know of this demon of mine. lol

Anyone who hated him before and liked him because of the New Moon movie will probably hate him again when Eclipse is out, especially if the movie is as true as possible to the book. |

I recommend going to see the movie with people who haven't read the stories. You get a layperson's perspective and it can be kinda funny. I went with a
friend and after the movie she was like"I don't get it? Why were these guys fighting over that boring-ass girl?" She thought Bella was rude to
her friends and didn't get why anyone would want to be around her.
The pacing was slow and the dialogue was cringeworthy at times. Taylor and the Volturi actors did the best acting job. Dakota Fanning was well- cast. Poor Rob and his pained expressions-- I don't know how he got through filming without laughing. Kristin Stewart's acting grates. All the stuttering and pauses. Her screaming in her sleep was so ridiculous and the audience laughed after the thousandth time she did it. The audience went nuts when Jacob ripped off his shirt for the first time and every time he appeared shirtless thereafter there were appreciative comments and sounds throughout the audience. There was some laughter at Edward's slo-mo entrances and his Blue Steel facial expressions throughout the movie. The makeup on all the vampires was horrendous. A lot of the wigs were too obvious especially on Jacob. I think the movie converted a lot of peeps to Team Jacob because the visual evidence of his repoire with Bella works better than in the books. When you take out all the woe-is-me-Edward-is-the one-and -only language in Bella's head that makes up the book you can just see the contrast in her behavior around the two guys. The movie illustrates how she is a normal, happy functioning human being around Jacob. Bella laughs and emotes and shows some sign of life and takes an interest in a hobby. With Edward she literally does nothing and Edward does even less around her. I think the movie could have done a better job showing just how much Jacob helped Bella. In the books she showed up on his doorstep looking inhuman and was a broken shell of herself and he pulled her through that. In the movie she wasn't anywhere near that low. She basically looked like she always does. The best scenes were when Jasper attacked Bella, Jessica chattering to Bella outside the theater, all the werewolf scenes, and the sequence with Victoria being chased. |

I don't come in here, but if somebody could let me know if New Moon gets posted somewhere, I'll watch a cam. Things are so busy, I thought I'd get
out today to see it, but it's not looking like I'll be able to get out for a while!

People just don't get who Twilight fans are. Both here, at blogs and in the media they think the only people who read the books or go to the movie are
12-15 year old girls. How stupid and narrow minded.
Not all movies have to have worldly significance or cinematic brilliance. My favorite movies are the one's that entertain me. |

I....was disappointed. I felt like it was over-produced to the point of being cheesy. My favorite parts were with Anna Kendrick's character.

I've been going through pics and stills from the movie and my mind just flashes to the moments in the movie.
Justin Chon watching Romeo and Juliet in class.  
Alice telling Bella to let her know when she puts the dog out. Anna Kendrick's monologue. Mike Welsh at the movie theatre. |

Everyone laughed at EVERYTHING in the theater. All the little one liners that were supposed to just draw a smile and not a huge laughter. I don't know if
it was just because everyone was excited or what.. but I felt like I was watching a romantic comedy.

The humans were definitely the best part. I LOVED Mike and Jessica. They were funny and they could actually act.

I seriously wanted to kick out 3/4 of the theater. They were all tweeny girls screaming/giggling/clapping at every little thing. I can't stand kids these
days.
