I just don't understand why they change the look of the characters. I mean Stephanie Meyers described all the characters, yet the cast doesn't resemble the descriptions--for example, Laurent.

I now see why people get upset when the movie doesn't resemble the book. I'm still hoping that it will be good....we'll see what happens.

She went into SUCH detail describing the characters! Their looks were such an important part of the books....that why I'm so upset about who was cast.

Exactly! I was watching that show w/ Amanda Bynes & Jenny Garth. Well there was a kid on there that I saw that totally resembled my version of Edward! I kept thinking that they should have cast him---he had the 'golden' hair and was really light skinned. I was like

I kept telling my mom about their casting decisions and she disagrees. She read the book, but obviously doesn't remember the descriptions b/c she agrees with the casting....she thinks they are pretty well casted. All I keep thinking is "but Laurent wasn't black in the book!"

My daughter, the teenage bookworm who introduced me to this series, loves the casting for Edward, as do her friends. She's more excited about the next book than about the movie though. (And the Sisterhood of the Pants number 2 movie)

I'm double posting here but I have to note that Borders is having Breaking Dawn release parties this Friday to get the book at midnight. I may or may not be there.. my daughter is completely and totally torn because she's supposed to go camping with a church youth group for the weekend but now she is thinking she might not go. I teased her that I will go, get Breaking Dawn for her and read it before she gets home from camping <evil laugh> because we have been arguing (in a fond, teasing sort of way) over who gets to read it first!

That's cool, what do you do at release parties? Just read the book? We don't have a Borders here

So my aunt is having financial difficulties, yet she's ready to buy my cousin Breaking Dawn when it comes out. It will take me a day to read the book but my cousin wants her own copy. Mayeb its just me, but I think paying your phone bill (because your phone has been disconnected) is more important than a book.


ETA: I rented Penelope the other day @ there is a "sneak preview" for Twilight. Although there are some discrepancies, i'm starting to get really excited for the movie. I got a "team Edward" sticker w/ my copy of Eclipse, so i'm gonna iron it on a t-shirt and wear it to the movie. Hahahaha....lol i feel like such a little girl though.
