Twilight Series!

I really hope they adapt this better than Eragon was adapted. I've never seen a movie destroy a book so well as that did.

I can't wait for book 4! Does anyone think the author will actually have Bella "change" in Breaking Dawn? I hope so!

From what I've seen, I don't think they cast the Cullens right AT ALL

At first I was upset, then I watched the trailer...and quite honestly, Robert is doing really well, and he has great chemistry with Kristen Stewart. I'll go see it even if it sucks...which it won't. I already have a date with my Twilight buddy.

I know!! I told my dauhter that when she made me watch the trailer... I really expected Edward to be much better looking ... and I thought Bella should have been plainer.

I also thought of her as a little fuller-not fat-but maybe a size 8? Actually, I pictured her a lot like what the author looks like in one of the photos I saw of her-not the one on the cover. Edward is growing on me. I think he might just be a little limiting with his age. I'm assuming if this goes well, they'll want to do another film. I went to the official site that had 4 clips.

I'm almost positive that somewhere in the books it says she weighs 115lbs. I pictured a size 2-4.

Winnibug, I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but the actor you picked for Edward is named Henry Cavill and he actually was Stephenie Meyer's choice. He's soooooooooooo hot (he plays the Duke of Suffolk in HBO's "The Tudors") but I think in the end the people in charge of casting thought he was too old. I think he's 24 or 25.

From what I understand, Nikki Reed and "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke co-wrote the movie "Thirteen" that Reed starred in. She's a pretty girl, but I definitely expected someone blonder. I think that no matter who got the role, though, many people would have been disappointed. Really, who could actually be as beautiful as Rosalie is supposed to be?

I agree with all of you who don't get why everyone seemed so drawn to Renesmee (ugh; horrible name). Instead of this incredibly beautiful child, all I could picture was Kristen Dunst's creepy little vampire child in "Interview with the Vampire".

Am I the only one who really didn't like Bella's character very much? I never understood exactly what Edward saw in her except for the fact that he liked the way she smelled. (ha, I sound like a bitchy high school girl gossiping!). I thought she was often very ungracious at times, like when the Cullens had a birthday get-together for her and when Alice put together the roomsized walk-in closet in her and Edward's cottage and she was peeved. And don't get me started about when Edward proposed to her.

I liked reading the backstories on the Cullens; I thought Jasper's story was interesting and it wasn't until that point that I stopped thinking of him as a peripheral character at best. Rosalie's store was pretty lame, though. I think SM could have done better with that one.

Still, I LOVED the whole book series and I can't wait to see the movie!

Yes this is what popped in my mind when I pictured Renesmee!

I really could have cared less if they picked someone who was 24 for Edward, especially when he's that scrumptious. I mean the guy who is cast as Edward is 22 anyways, and BLAH!

I still can not see Rosalie in Nikki. No one can be as beautiful as Rosalie, but they could try to get close. Nikki is nowhere near close.

I liked Bella, but the proposal really bothered me. As someone who married her dream man, this just didn't make sense. I know the whole book is make believe, but this was the part of the story that was unbelievable for me.

RaggedyAndy made it to page 200 of Twilight and put the book down. He "couldn't take the "whiny teenage girl anymore."
