Twilight

if you don't like twilight, don't moan and groan about this post. you won't be telling me anything that I don't already know. kthx. Spoiler alert to anybody who cares.

zomg. I just was listening to mugglecast and the same people (they're awesome and funny) mentioned that they just started a Twilight podcast. Naturally I was all over that. But in the first 20 minutes they mentioned these two scenes that were released, so I'm like. SCENES? and had to check them out of youtube:

Here, this isn't a final cut, but it's all we have

I can't find the second one but that doesn't matter right now. Oh my god. For the first time I'm wondering if this will be a tiny bit more than a trashy teen romance crapfest. Maybe it's just really that James is perfect, but who knows. James is perfect, did I mention that? I looooove how they did the camera, I didn't pay much heed to it in the book, it seemed sort of lame, but in the movie it is excellent! Soooooo perfectly sadistic!

Okay, don't take me wrong, this is still going to be a trashy teen romance throw away. As I realize as soon as there's that somewhat corny moment between bella + edward. As for flying through the air, stupid edward, tricks are for kids. Now you might be looking at that and saying "that is the suckiest thing I've ever seen." The awkwardness and how it doesn't flow is mostly because this isn't the final cut. Rough draft.

Another point, what the heck... They are supposed to be in a ballet studio, there were mirrors... but... In ballet studios I pictured a square room, not a big high ceiling and pillars at all, with the wood dancing floor and two wall-length mirrors. I have no idea what they're doing here, it looks more like The Hall of Prophecy from Order of the Phoenix than a ballet studio. So this isn't how I picture it. And I'm sort of confused because it looks like James has already bit her? She shouldn't still be conscious :( that makes a vampire bite look like "oh, it's just a flesh wound."

So James is perfect, and I think Victoria is too, but Laurent makes me want to gag. I'm all for diversity, but vampires are sort of supposed to be more nordic/European beings. Like they all have pale skin... no offense guy who plays Laurent, but you are not from the book! You look nothing like the book description!
Here's how I picture him (ish)
Haha, that's Jack White, but it's perfect.
Not like this.

Anyway, this may sound like an obsessive ~<3fangirl<3~ rant. before everybody goes crazy, i don't think robert patinson looks like edward (ugly dude), they just did good casting for james, and this is not my favorite book or movie. Sorta goes back to that quote how i compared this to drugs. heh, twilight does have drug references like how is saying "you're exactly my brand of heroin" sweet??? seriously, NO.

el fin. when breaking dawn comes out i may or may not have to rant on here. maybe i'll let it all out to pure twilighters next time.
