Twilight the Film: Where's the Beef?

Ya know... I'm sitting here watching Twilight (what can I say? It's on TV! Can't turn it off, right?!) and I never realized before... how much they effed up by not showing the day-to-day routine of Edward and Bella. In the books, he slept over there every single night. And they kissed... ALL the time. And yet - from this movie - all you know is that they kissed once and that he stayed at her house once (right after the aforementioned kiss) while she slept. And he looked uncomfortable, too. It just didn't happen that way at all. He was a fixture in Bella's bedroom for months - on a daily basis. And did I mention that they KISSED - a LOT!

Having said that - props to Catherine Hardwicke for the following:

- Edward AND Bella are pale as shit. VERY true.

- The music - incredible - PUTS you in Forks.

- La Push - S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G - even though it wasn't really La Push.

Jamie Campbell Bower in the buff...on a boat...

Check out this DELICIOUS shot of Jamie Campbell Bower from Twifans. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Unforch, I'm not even sure he's 22 yet. LOL He's filming "Camelot" for Starz, where he'll play King Arthur. I find that squee-rific... even if he is barely legal. Pillars of the Earth - also on Starz -  was fabu. They do love their cute little British boys now don't they?

So glad we'll be seeing JCB in Breaking Dawn. He's so adorable, even when he's playing a centuries-old, bratty vampire...

And For the Rest of my Life I Was Like...

Thanks to Dustin for sending this roflrazzi link to me this AM. This made my damn day.

Kristen Stewart playing Bella's Breaking Dawn violent birth scenes as written

From SheKnows.com: Kristen Stewart playing Bella's Breaking Dawn violent birth scenes as written

From Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter for the Twilight series:

"It's on their faces. It's all from Bella's point of view when you're seeing what's going on. It should feel visceral. I think it's going to be pretty intense."

OOOOOH SNAP!!! It's from Bella's point of view. When I was reading it, since Bella was pretty much out after her spinal cord snaps, I always saw the scene from sortof in the middle of Edward and Jacob. Edward on my left (I almost typed "lap") at Bella's feet - Jacob on my right at Bella's head. But we're going to see both Edward and Jacob from Bella's perspective! That gets me all tingley inside! I could weep with joy!

Found this over at breakingdawnmovie.org and just about shat my pantalones when I saw it.

Nikki Reed Talks "Breaking Dawn"

I found this article interesting. Nikki Reed talks about Rosalie's (formerly Carol's) motives in letting Bella continue on with a pregnancy that she knows will most likely kill her.

I loved this storyline in Breaking Dawn. I loved pondering Rosalie's motives... and her relationship with Bella AND Edward during the whole pregnancy and birth. It's really twisted and ugly if you think about it. Rosalie is one bad mofo who needs her own bad mofo wallet!

Oh for the love of all that's holy. Just someone please make sure these two are still happy together during the duration of the Breaking Dawn filming? Then I don't care WHAT they do.

KThxBye.

Kellan Lutz in Atlantic City

This kills me. Normally I don't post about the cast (unless their last name is Pattinson) but COME ON! AC??? I live an hour away! I could totally have gone to this! I would have shown Emmett the love!!!

I wonder if he was any good? Does he DJ a lot? Or is this new? What would be REALLY cool would be seeing 100 Monkeys with KLutz DJing between sets.

Robert Pattinson Gets Chased By Paparazzi Slime

Holy crap. I don't usually post stuff like this because I feel like I'm contributing to the madness. But this time I WANT to. I WANT people to see how relentless and DANGEROUS these parasites are. He's asking them to go away because he has a hard time DRIVING while they're driving up close to him and cutting him off and running stop signs, trying to get a photograph. It's unreal. Actually, it's not, unfortunately. (Two words: Princess Diana). And he's right; they've got a million pictures! You got what you wanted - now GO AWAY. You KNOW they were hoping he'd hit them or grab their camera or something. And did he? No way. What a class act. Honest to god - Robert Pattinson is heads and shoulders above so many other actors in that regard. He's a nice guy. Show some integrity and leave him alone.

Breaking Dawn (but not placenta)

OK so isn't THIS an interesting little Pop Sugar interview with Melissa Rosenberg.... Complete with the following commentary regarding what we will and WILL NOT see in the birthing scene:

The childbirth — all the scenes, I feel — should be on screen. I think perhaps what I was referring to was, would we actually see Edward's teeth through the placenta? I don't think so. I don't think we need to see that, and if someone needs to see that, I think they should take a look at that. [Laughs.] I believe it will be implied, but I don't think we'll see teeth in the placenta. 

Frankly... I don't know how I feel about that. I mean - Do I want to see Rob Pattinson's face all full of reproductive lady gunk? Um, no. But... do I want it to be DAMN WELL IMPLIED what he did to save Bella? Abso-effing-lutely. 

I also found the following to be a VERY interesting quote regarding Kristen Stewart and what she'll have to do once Bella is no longer human:


I think seeing Bella as a vampire and her adjusting to her powers and embracing them, those are all really fun scenes to write. Particularly when you picture Kristen Stewart playing her, and the way she's embodied Bella as a sort of awkward, fidgety persona. When she turns into a vampire, all of that goes away.


Well.... now... isn't that interesting??? Kstew is going to be expected to be NORMAL once Bella turns. No breathing heavily... no worried eyes... no staring straight ahead as if at nothing when looking at Edward. (But not straight into his eyes... we know that's not possible.)  That alone will be worth the price of the ticket (most likely $20 by the time the damn thing comes out)... definitely.

Fun with Eclipse!

So Jenn D was visiting from Erie over the weekend (we're not WORTHY, oh subject of PFach's Tweets!) and of course we had to see Eclipse again to produce some new blog fodder.  And we made some interesting observations (which Jenn refers to as "Mega Eclipse Blog Points" which I thought was pretty dang amusing) regarding everyone's favorite Twi-film:


1.  The wigs.  LORDDDDDD THE WIGS!  What the hell HAPPENED in Eclipse?!  Have you noticed that not only does Kstew wear a wig, but she wears multiple wigs. They are:

* Christian Rock Wig (borrowed from Jacob)
* Pageant Wig (very full, wavy and 80s)
* Wednesday Adams Wig (flat-ironed on the top and sides)
* Victoria's Secret Wig (wavy but not quite as big as Pageant Wig)


I'll have to see it again to remember when each wig was worn... but I do know the Pageant wig was from the last scene in the meadow. It was like Ken Paves came in and said "Quiet on the set, people! I need to CREATE!"

Then there is Carlisle's horrendous lemon, yellow wig... and Rosalie's "perfectly quaffed but still obviously a wig" wig.  And lord... why didn't they dye her eyebrows to match?!

2.  Rob Pattinson is like the light from the arc of the covenant in Indiana Jones. At one point, during the "bed scene",  Tracey says to me "Kristen doesn't even look into Rob's eyes" to which I reply "Dude he's ROB PATTINSON. No mere mortal can look him directly in the eyes."

3. Robstank. While discussing the aforementioned RPattz, Jennifer decides she thinks he smells lovely. I then remind her about Catherine Hardwicke's commentary about him picking up his buddy's shirt off the floor and wearing it to an awards show, after said buddy wore it drumming at a gig the night before. Jenn proceeds to tell me that even if Rob smelled "musky and spunky" she would still love him. I cannot remember the last time I giggled so profusely.

4.  Why don't they ever let Esme talk?

5.  Carlisle's New British Accent.  Lorddddd the accent!  Why don't I remember quite such an over-the-top accent from Twilight or New Moon?  They're creating an AHHHHHMY! What is THAT all about?? That must be the new direction. Not that I don't like it. I am just not used to Carlisle from Yorkshire. It's funny because I said I couldn't remember where Carlisle was from.. and asked if he was from Italy. Jenn then said "Italy? Hello?! His NAME is CARLISLE CULLEN!" I had a giggle fit at this and almost drove off the road.

6. Rosalie Cullen. Mafia Princess.  Seriously. Tracey was giggling during Rosalie's little Royce story because Nikki Reed is from NYC... and Tracey thought it came through loud and clear.  I had to tell her to pipe down because the people a few rows behind us might get upset. And please - again - DYE HER EYEBROWS to match her (bad) wig!

7. Action Figure Cullens. You have to LOVE that scene where they're waiting for the fight - clad all in black - waiting for Victoria's minions. And then the wolves all jump into the action and it's way cool... and Tracey says to me "how do the wolves know which vampires to kill?" to which I reply "the Cullens are all wearing their black, action figure suits. The wolves will know."

And Jenn D wants to know why the wolves don't have any "junk". And how they all show up clad in their denim manpri's when none of them tie their shorts around their legs like Jacob did in the book. And don't get me started on Leah. Somehow she's able to produce a shirt and bra out of thin air.
