Cinnamon Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yum! It looks GREAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I thought that they may actually show Edward when Bella is hallucinating rather than just have his voice. I am relieved as, otherwise, there just wouldn't be enough of Robert Pattinson in the movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm so excited for New Moon!! I've just started reading the book again so i can distinguish between all the books, i read them all so close together that i can't remember what happened in each book!

furryelephant Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 What a decision.... I've always been Team Edward, but who could resist Jacob in the trailer? I'll just have to watch it again.... *fetches some popcorn and settles in for the night* Paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Mmmmm ........I thought they looked like plasticine people Oh dear I showed the clip to my 24 year old daughter who said, "Mum, you are so out of it, but then the whole vampire thing is so now" That's me told then I'll go back to being a granny and From Dusk Till Dawn with gorgeous George Clooney.

Seagazer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Ooh I can't wait. I love Twilight, well Edward if I'm honest . Hot flush time I have a confession that I haven't read the books yet but I'm taking Twilight with me on holiday next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Against my inner prose s"Ooops, word censored!"'s judgement, I read the first three books the other week and loved loved loved them. Oh to be a teenager in love with a vampire again! Then I raced out to get the first film, and it wasn't as romantic as the books were in my head, was very truncated to fit into the two hours and Bella struck me as being too plain and sulky and surly and frankly smackable to be loveable to such a gorgeous creature as Edward (I have sullied myself by admitting an almost crush on a 23 year old at my age). Is that just me? I thought the casting was great except for Bella. How did the film measure up to the books for anyone else? The NM trailer looks much more exciting than Twilight the film was. Maybe the franchise is picking up pace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Well i watched twilight first, last week in fact, didn't know there was a book saga So i quickly bought the books. I've read the first book with the characters faces from the film so it hasn't been an issue for me really. But i know what you mean. I'm on book three now. Can't put them down.

Seagazer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 My DD read the books first and didn't think the film was as good so you are not alone (in the crush either - and I should know better - I have a 22 year old daughter ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaJC Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I thought the casting was great except for Bella. How did the film measure up to the books for anyone else? At the risk of making myself very unpopular, I thought the casting of Bella was perfect. If you consider the character of Bella from the books the only things which come across about her are: 1. She is a right misery guts. 2. She is vapid. 3. She has no hobbies, skills or interests other than Edward. I feel the actress portrayed this very well. Even the endless snorting instead of dialogue seemed right! I really, really cannot stomach these books. I suffered through until the last one and had to cast it aside when I got to the really-weird-and-wrong-and-out-of-place-bit-after-the-honeymoon-you-know-which-bit-I-mean.

EmmaJC Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 ps: haven't read the last one, but interweb stumbled on the name of The Baby and snorted in disgust. Oh but you must. After about 6 months I was talked into finishing it and wasn't dissapointed, it was every bit as awful as I'd been promised, mutant super-babies, a gruesome labour, a cast of characters as long as my arm with no evident purpose and an ending to leave you shrugging. I'm actually being rather mean, as long as people enjoy the books then good for them, but I find the anti-feminist message very sad. The writer must be a very strange person.

jlo Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (I have sullied myself by admitting an almost crush on a 23 year old at my age). Is that just me? Nope!! I would like to say that it's perfectly healthy but I fear that it is slightly disturbing. In my defence, I still feel like a 24 yearold (until I look in the mirror!! I really, really cannot stomach these books. I suffered through until the last one and had to cast it aside when I got to the really-weird-and-wrong-and-out-of-place-bit-after-the-honeymoon-you-know-which-bit-I-mean. I have to say that I did enjoy the first three books - against my better judgement. I know exactly what you mean about this bit though!! I know the whole thing is nonsense but that is just utter and complete nonsense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Dang dang library! I borrowed the first three from a friend (a grown up friend I might add!) and then dashed to the library for the fourth and was informed I was eighth (EIGHTH!!!) in the queue. BAAAHHHH!!!! I want to read it. I want more swooning nonsense! I want more brooding vampire and dancing Alice and rubbish growly Jacob and more... stuff. And more ridiculous plots involving babies and impossible couplings and stupid names and bits to which you allude and of which I am clueless about but eager to reach. Dang library.

That's impressive I believe you can download it from Amazon or similar for a nominal sum if you're desperate to absorb the book in all of it's delightful weirdness. Or download the audiobook from a site like audible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Can't concentrate on audiobooks for some reason. Love Radio 4 but can't do books. I think I'm going to wait. There's something about the smell and feel of paper. Plus the excitement is kind of fun as well as annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Rather coincidentally (I hope OH doesn't read the forum ) he called me into the study to show me something. I was cooking dinner and was a bit grumpy, saying 'what do you want' and he had set the Twilight trailer up to show me What a lovely OH (just in case he is reading.....)
