And there will be no Breaking Dawn review from Carol before its time either, bitches!!!
So I went with a whole slew of fellow Twi-chicks to see the film on Friday at 10AM (no tweens). In the words of my sister, Tracey..."It was ridiculous...and AWESOME...at the same time."
As you all know, I haven't looked at much of anything since Breaking Dawn started filming. And I would advise ALL OF YOU to do the same for the last movie. My crew was telling themselves it didn't matter that they googled and watched trailers and took it all in beforehand...but I beg to differ. When you don't know what it will be visually...and then you sit down and watch...oh my god it's absolutely mind-blowing. SO much better than going in KNOWING what it will all look like.
OK but enough about that. Let's get to it.

| Stunning, party of this! |
 |
| Loved the snot outta this dress. |
Let's fast foward to the Honeymoon, shall we? Seeing Edward in that water was so delicious - almost as good as I pictured it in my head. Loved Bella's freak-out, human minutes. It was SO real; we all would have done that. I love how Edward saunters his ass into the water, thinking nothing at all about the nookie that is about to transpire. SUCH a guy.

| Really? You expect me not to HOWL at this? REALLY?! |
 |
| Before...after! Before...after! |
Let's move on. Loved that they kept the fried chicken in the film. Loved that Edward looked like he was going to cry and run around screaming "find a happy place!! at the same time when he found out Bella was knocked up. SO classic. It's killing me that I can't sit and watch each scene 80 million times like I did with Twilight since the first time I saw that was when it came out on video.

| YOU'VE LEFT ME NO CHOICE!!! |

| Edward Cullen getting his ass kicked would never, EVER HAPPEN! |
Loved Jacob through the whole film...although I wished his sarcasm came through better in the film like it did in the book. In the book he was hilarious and in the film he was just pissed.
I dug all the wolfified stuff...although we all agreed it was a bit of a creepfest to watch the wolves talk when they were in wolf form. But how else could they have done it? I don't know. Maybe from further away...like we could have been looking down on them from a rooftop angle. But please, not that skanky roof on Jacob's skanky red house that he should stay home and paint once in a while instead of chasing vampires. Ugh...gross. Every time I see it, I get the shakes.

| Not in my nature. Yummy Emmett. |
LOVED the birth scene. Edward BROUGH IT in every way possible. They changed a few things as far as order of the way they happened...but not enough to get under my skin in any way. LOVED that they showed Edward dive down and dig in with le teeth. Genius way of showing that it happened - but NOT showing it happen. Brills.
I can't WAIT for the next film. Could SOMEONE please tell me why we have to wait an entire YEAR???

| Here comes the smolder... |
 |
| Bad angle...bad lighting...bad hair... A world of Carlisle badness! |
They have reduced him to NOTHING (I think ESME had more lines!) and have given him the worst hair on the planet. Seriously. It's just so sad. I'm thinking of camping out in Zuccotti Park in protest.
That's all I got for now but I KNOW there is more. I'll keep you posted on the goings on of my brain.

OK, one thing I know you forgot right off the bat: the audible GASP from everyone in the theater when JASPER shows up in all his HOTTIE MACTOASTY GLORY in the window!!!!
And let me just say...on second viewing, the creepfest that is the Alaskan sisters is even creepier. WHAT is up with those EYES??????
Oh, and what about my favorite line of the movie: "First it's the spelling...then the grammar..." Oh Aro. Je adore!!!
Yes.. the Alaskan eyes?? WTF??
And isn't one supposed to be strawberry blonde.. not brunette dyed blonde? The Alaskan cousins were supposed to be drop dead gorgeous- the dark rims around their lemon yellow eyes was just creepy. Where was the golden butterscotch?
Finally I wanted to melt into Edwards eyes during the vows.. in his proposal in Eclipse he looked more terrified than melty/ dreamy. In the tux on the altar.. finally melty/dreamy Edward.
Not sure about Edwards speech before his bachelor party.. I reserve final judgement until I see the movie again. The first time I was just sooo excited to finally be in the theater that I wasn't really checking off pros and cons. (except I really like that they brought back some music from the other movies- not just Flightless Bird)
Here are some of my views after watching the movie once. (I agree with you Carol on not seeing any trailers etc. it was SO worth it.)
The wedding - LOVED IT! Everything about it but the fact that Bella was practically puking while everyone looked on before she walked down the aisle. Wasn't it her that wanted Edward and the rest of the world be damned?
I also laughed at the headboard scene but realized I was the only one so quickly shut up.
I thought they really downplayed Jacob and crew in this film and when the crew was talkin all wolfie I actually got a little nauseous.
I LOVE Emmett - in the books and in the movies - more Emmett please? GO Team Emmett! and on that note - what is up with Carlisle? I thought vamps were suppose to be all hot and gorgeous, not gross and chubbers. Jenny Garth must be trying to keep her man!lol
The only thing that really bugged me though was when Bella was all chopped up from Renesme and Edward and Jacob were all gaga over the babe and forgot about Bella on the table, dying... aren't they suppose to be on top of that? Thank God Rosalie came in to snap them back in order.
Men: I thought the SAME thing about Edward/Jacob cooing over the baby, so I went back and read that part--actually, they do focus on the baby more than I realized. But one thing the movie left out was that Renesmee BITES Bella--remember? Edward sort of admonishes her at that point, and then they finally give the baby to Rosalie.
But yes, I agree--the whole "googoogahgah you're so cute" thing definitely took away from the urgency of the scene.
Beautiful Blog posting, Miss Carol! You have such a way with words, pictures, humour..........ahhhhh. Perfect!
The only rough part of the film for me was the beginning. The high heels. The high heels. The high heels. yeah. we get it. you can't walk in high heels. k. thanks. that's enough.
The acting in the first few minutes was hard to watch. I kept expecting Kirk Cameron to pop up on screen. Not that there's anything wrong with him........
But after the first few minutes, I LOVED it!
I'll def. be buying this DVD, watching it obsessively with my sister, hitting eachother at the good and bad parts.........oooooooooo can't wait!
Oh Carol, I thought pretty much exactly the same things as you!
I laughed at the headboard too, but that 's because it's been a running joke with some friends for sooo long.
I agree with Jennifer J, the beginning was a bit painful.
And yes, Carlisle drew the short straw on who gets the bad wig for this film. Poor PFach!
Jennifer J - you had me at "high heels" and you kept me at "Kirk Cameron". Girl...you need a BLOG because yo shit is FUNNY!
Talksupe - you made my day that you read this tonight...because I had just gone back in this afternoon and added captions to the photos (because "sometimes I just think funny thoughts" - RIP Dudley Moore) and thought "Why am I doing this when no one is going to see it?" LOL
Tracey - I STILL haven't seen it again! I'm going nuts!
Ashley - ME TOO - damn I forgot all about the bachelor party scene which I was THRILLED BEYOND ALL THRILLEDNESS that they left in! I have always LOVED that scene!!
Menatra - we will soooo discuss that scary birth at Outlander chat. You were right; Jacob and Edward's lady gaga act was vomrific. I totally forgot to mention that.
