So, how many times have you all watched your New Moon DVDs? Myself, I watched the movie three times and once more with the commentary on. I also devoured the two other extras discs and I must say-I am a little disappointed that we got no Nipple explanation. I don't care how Taylor gained 30 pounds carrying around meat patties...gross!
Anyway-after watching so many times, I finally figured out the problem I have with Twilight (the movie)...I think (and I realize I am going to sound very stupid saying this) that each time I pop in my Twilight DVD I am secretly hoping it will be different. I am always thinking, maybe this time Bella won't twitch as much, and maybe this time it will follow the book more closely. It is the same when I watch Titanic-I keep thinking..."maybe this time the boat won't sink and Jack won't die". But alas after both movies I am left disappointed. Jack does indeed die and Twilight sucks donkey nuts. I will give Cougar Cathy credit though...I think Edward looks better in Twilight then in New Moon, but as far as the screenplay--it blows. OK-I am off my soapbox about that today.
So as I am making my dh watch N.M. with me last night I was surprised that he actually laughed at the appropriate times (Alice's vision included), and when it was over he said "I wish they just had all the movies ready now...I'd rather sit down and watch them all than have to wait months in between"....I'm like "HELL YEAH MISTER!" And I was about to show him the picture Ms J posted a while back of Edward and Bella in the meadow if they waited much longer to film...but decided I didn't want to have to take care of a blind husband and I really like him going to work and earning a paycheck so I refrained.
On a different note...did you all notice we are down to 99 days until eclipse! We are officially in the two digits!! WHOOOOT!!!

My dh watched New Moon this weekend. His comments were that it was really slow and that it was ripping off Romeo and Juliet. Then he was really 'surprised' (?) by the 'marry me' ending. He asked is that really how it ends? He goes over to the bookshelf and turns to the back of the book and begins reading. I told him it was near the end, but it wasn't the last scene. I think he needs to read the series. Weird!
ReplyDeleteI think the same thing about "maybe something will be different" or I'm always trying to notice something that will appeal to me that I didn't notice before.
ReplyDeleteI did spot something recently in Twilight that I'll talk about in a post soon.
In NM this weekend I had to watch with subtitles on to make sure I caught everything including: "Edward moans"
