I finally got around to seeing the movie. Meh. I think most of the acting was poor. I couldn't help but look at Esme and think, "That's not your real face- that's the face Kerev and McSteamy gave you." And I think most of the time Cedrick-I mean Edward- looked like he was constipated. I mean, are you trying not to kill Bella or are you having problems pooping? Cause it looks the same to me.
Once again, the book was much better.

You can tell it was rushed, especially the development of Edward and Bella's relationship. There was not enough Jacob. They need to do better with New Moon.

Isn't Drew Barrymore gonna direct New Moon? If that is true, then I doubt it'll be better, she isn't that great of an actress.

No, she's not, according to ew.com.

I don't know if New Moon will be much better. Filming started this month, and the movie comes out in November. That won't stop me from seeing it though. :D

This gave me a good laugh because I thought the same thing about Esme!!!

I bought the 2 disc special from Walmart. Where are the out takes???

I have extended scenes on my **3 disk** edition from Target. :p I've only been through one disk so far, so I'm not sure what's on the rest.

Disc 1. There aren't really all that many. There was one, however, that I was glad was left out - they have Edward bite her finger for "a taste".:rolleyes: Besides not being in the book, that would be totally, and completely out of character for Edward - a risk he wouldn't take.

Ohh ok I saw those. Yeah that was really stupid. I was thinking they had blooper out takes.

That's a little too True Blood.

You know - the more times I watch the movie, the more I realize what a terrible actress Kristen Stewart is. There are a few times (first to come to mind is when Edward tells her in the hospital that she needs to live with her mom in Florida) where she does nothing but stutter. While I think that stuttering is perfectly in line with the character the book paints, she mentions on her commentary that it's not how she meant it to come out, and she just couldn't think of anything to say.

There are also some really awkward camera angles that are either there because they want the audience to feel awkward (which is possible), or the cameramen were just not good.

I just finished the host. If I were her editor, that book would have been 300 pages. And her characters need to stop grinding their teeth so damn much!

I watched the commentary today and it really gives you a perspective on why some of the things are. Rob is a total douchebag it seem. Kristen just seems awkward, like she's not used to all this fame and is embarrassed by it. I've seen her in a few Lifetime movies and she was actually a pretty good actress. I think she just played the part of "awkward Bella" a little too well.

I can't wait till New Moon comes out, even though I was pissed through most of the book because of how pathetic she becomes. And I did fall in love with Jacob then. I can't wait to see what Taylor looks like in that movie!

Blah. I wanted a hard copy of Midnight Sun to read only to find out that since they're copyrighted, I can't get them. Boo! Oh well. :(
