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.
