Hva om Twilight ikke hadde vært en bok, men bare noe som skjedde på Facebook? Er det slik det ville vært da?
Denne var artig, synes jeg. Klikk på bildet for å få en lesbar størrelse.

FTW! I am soooo NOT over the drama! Og husk ordspråket: Det har ikke skjedd om det ikke har vært på Facebook.

De ti beste - og verste - tingene med Twilightfilmen, plass nummer 6, 5 og 4
Spenningen stiger! Her er plass 6, 5 og 4 fra Examiner.com (og trykker du på lenka finner du 3,2 og 1 også om du ikke klarer å vente).
Number 6 Suckiest – Congratulations, Edward is now a creepy stalker
"From the moment Bella enters the classroom, it seemed they set Edward on the wrong spin... from there it just whirls and teeters out of control. He holds his nose as she walks in front of the fan - okay, fans of the novel understand what’s going on but to the rest of the audience, she smells terrible. Or somebody farted. (Certainly not one of the vampires… or… wait. Do they? I bet they fart glitter that smells like rainbows, Stephenie.)"
Subtilt.
"But let’s be honest. How many of you watched this movie with people who hadn’t read the book? And of those people, how many of you had to explain that no, Edward wasn’t creepy, he’s not a stalker, he… watches… her… sleep because it’s… romantic. Uh. Whoops. Things that came off as sweet and loving in the book were just not carried over well onscreen. I think they would have greatly benefited from the inclusion of the deleted scene of Bella having a dream about kissing Edward. Something showing that she would have loved it if Edward were in her bedroom at night would have made him seem far less disturbing. I mean, in Port Angeles, at dinner when he confesses he was following her… it just didn’t have that effect of making your heart swell with delight like it did in the novel. (No tinglies. I miss the tinglies.)"

Number 6 Greatest – Edward dashing over to stop the van
"A moment of pure glee! Finally! They were (too) few and far between for “Twilight” fans in this film, but here is one where I definitely felt some chills and heard some squeals in the audience. The lingering looks between Bella and Edward as they fidget at their cars after school, and suddenly, screeching tires as this supermassive blue van comes sliding towards Bella. Out of nowhere, there is Edward, and he stops the van easily, swiftly; gracefully. The look they give as they turn to face each other… (commence squealing!). Edward awkwardly removes his hand from her back, stands up and leaves."
Hot-sårbar-Robward.
"Wait-a-second. He should have left around the front of the truck; because boy is it obvious he’s there when everyone goes rushing over. I mean, come on, how did no one else see that? That’s my only complaint. In the book, no one has any idea that he helped save her, and he also didn’t run away from her, he stayed to make sure she was fine because he was so worried. But otherwise, oh it’s romantic. This is a point in the film when they come close to actually hitting that romantic sexy tension that we love so much in the novel.
As I watched this movie with my friend Sarah, she did point out something technically wrong in this scene. She grew up in the north, went to school up north, and she reminded me that at the end of the school day, all the ice would have melted down and become slush. So, for the van to run over a patch of ice and slide is unlikely. (Slush, maybe) However, I know from living here in Colorado, that sometimes patches would melt and then freeze again when the sun wasn’t on them anymore. So, it’s 50/50. It happens in the book, I’m gonna let that one slide here."
Number 5 Suckiest – Rosalie… what happened to you?
"For some reason, it is far more upsetting to me to see a naturally tan woman caked in white flour, than to see a naturally white woman caked in bronzer. In this case, Nikki Reed looks like she got hosed down by Casper the ghost. Because, oh wait, that’s what happens when you cast a Cherokee/Italian heritage woman as a whiter-than-hell vampire. And bleach her hair for thirty hours until it looks like a pasty cat you flung at her head."
Personlig synes jeg NReed gjorde en god figur som forbanna-Rosalie, men eneste grunn til at hun fikk rollen må være at hun kjenner Catherine Hardwicke. Hun er ikke i nærheten av å se ut som en Rosalie.
"Now don’t get me wrong, Nikki Reed is fantastic, and does a pretty good job of playing Rosalie as a character. But, Summit, Stephenie, Catherine, we’re all big girls. Give us some credit. We understand that because you cast Nikki, Rosalie isn’t gonna look exactly like she did in the book. So, let her take off those ridiculous gloves, put down the ten-inch stripper heels and let the girl have a little bit more of her natural beauty back. The freakishly pale skin and glove bit only worked for Michael Jackson (may he rest in peace). Now, in the New Moon trailer, they’ve got her looking pretty darn good, with a high quality wig and glove-less outfit, so I’m very pleased. But then again, doesn’t just about everything look better in the New Moon trailer? Can I get a hell-yeah?"
Number 5 Greatest – The times when it actually had a little dignity in the details
"We can start off with the breathtaking, beautiful scenery. The opening of the film in particular, starting with the shot of the desert that blurs into the tree covered snowy state of Washington. Speaking of the opening, the speech from the novel being the start of the film is just fantastic. Thank you Melissa. And thank you Summit, for not changing the logo of “Twilight” from the novel cover."
Naturen schmaturen. Hvem i helvete bryr seg om den?
"While Eric Yorkie stinks in my opinion, Mike Newton, oh how I love thee. And Jessica, you two-faced hew-were (sound it out), I adore you."
Enig! Jeg synes Anna Kendrick som Jessica var fantastisk i filmen!
"Thanks for making Bella clumsy, and an even bigger thank you to Kristen Stewart for pulling it off naturally. When she slides on the front steps in front of Charlie that looked so real, because it wasn’t overdramatic. People who fall on purpose tend to flail around a lot. Also, points added for Bella’s beautiful lullaby, and for the fact that Robert Pattinson played it himself. Granted, it was in a weird dream-like room that we hadn’t seen nor do we see again in the movie, and the song was supposed to be hummed as she fell asleep, but no matter! It was a good song, much more dignified and classy than I would have expected and I will leave it at that."
Piano-Robward-porno...Du kan strum my pain with your fingers når som helst, Rob. Når som helst.
Number 4 Suckiest – The “How long have you been 17?” scene
"There was a perfect opportunity for all that to be clarified in the car ride, just like it was in the novel. The car scene in the film even was a bit sexy and had the right kind of tension. To add this conversation to it would have made it better. To drag it out waiting for this crap scene, (where they’re somehow able to wander off school property without someone noticing?) and have it become this the weird spinning crap when Edward comes clean to Bella? Bad Catherine, bad!
Then he starts hauling her off like some twangy country and western song, “Come here woman so I can teach you a lesson”… excuse me? He’s a gentleman, hello!"
Løpinga. Jeg liker ikke løpinga. Før jeg ble immun, var jeg alltid kjempeflau når løpinga begynte.
"So then he tosses her on his back (okay now, that I’d be totally fine with) and starts running. Yeesch. I get that it cost a lot of money (and pain) to achieve this effect, but once you saw the final results, wouldn’t you fix it? This is too big of a black mark on the film to just ignore.
He sets her down and unbuttons his shirt to reveal his sparkly self. Instead of looking the least bit organic, like it could actually be real, they chose to go with the “My Little Pony On Crack” look. With the added bonus of twinkly sound effects, as if we weren’t able to grasp the blinding result on the screen. Come to think of it, that sound effect was probably added so that upon further viewings, when you are eventually blinded, you know what’s going on. Pause the film at 52:37. You can almost hear him saying, “Ugh, my sparkles suck.”"
Ny BuffyArt i emning: Hva med "This shit gonna ruin my street cred forever"?
"The “as if you could outrun me!” line… yes, I get the self-loathing and frustration, but really it just sounds like the super-awkward kid in high school who thinks he can trick everyone into thinking he’s funny if he shouts really loud. Ouch, Edward, that was my eardrum. No, I will not meet you at your locker after lunch.
Okay, every second of this scene is like a slap in the face. My cheeks are numb and I’m having trouble counting all the glaring problems here. Hold on. Okay, now Edward has pulled the tree branch and says he’s like, some nasty killer psycho and she should obviously go running in the opposite direction, hands flailing over her head. Instead, she blurts out, “I don’t care.” Riiiiiiiii-ght. Sigh; let me explain this to you, actors and directors. Bella… does not care because she loves Edward, can feel that he’s a good person, and knows he would never hurt her. Kristen… says it like she truly doesn’t give a damn he’s a killer. There’s a big difference between loving someone, and just being an ignorant crazy person who likes to date self-destructively."
Jeg gir faen i om du er en stalker-massemorder som vil drepe meg og drikke blodet mitt. Jeg vil ha deg. Nå! Jeg gir deg den, Bella. Vi kan enes om noe.
"Then Edward speeds off, mid-freaking-conversation to jump around some trees. Okay, veering dangerously toward the awkward kid in class again. The line about heroin is devastatingly misused, for without the entire explanation, it sounds hopelessly overdramatic.
Finally, we get to a bit of dialogue that doesn’t suck so much, and is actually kind of satisfying. This scene ends (mercifully) with us being dragged across the meadow scene, grasping at it frantically, but as we’re being shoved, we are forced to move on. Shame on you, Catherine!"
Rask-i-hop-meadow'en.
Number 4 Greatest – Catherine Hardwicke Yay/ Boo
"Do any of us realize just how bad this could have been? Oh my God… I watched some behind the scenes clips (I’m sure 99% of you have seen these too) of Stephenie Meyer talking about the kinds of offers she was getting, and then some of the things that Summit themselves suggested, and my jaw just hit the floor. Floor length gowns with chokers, Bella on a jetski… we were saved from sheer ruination by Catherine Hardwicke. If they had hired someone who didn’t understand the girly, giggly, teenage-love side of this story… it would have been utterly damned from the beginning. Catherine set in place certain rules that further directors cannot touch, and for that, we thank her endlessly. (Multi-racial casting, for one.) No matter how much they will improve on the following films, we owe a debt to Catherine Hardwicke. She will forever be our installed “safety”."
Jeg er enig i en ting: Du kunne ha fucka opp Twilight mye mer enn du gjorde. Men hvorfor måtte du fucke opp det viktigste? Forholdet mellom Edward og Bella?
"But, in the ways in which she failed us all… ah, Catherine. Do I really need to get specific here? The buck stops with you, Madame, and I hold you responsible for most of this list. It is your job to get-er-done and that is why they pay you the big bucks. I know ya got it in ya, look at “Thirteen” and “Lords of Dogtown”! You don’t suck! So… what happened?"
Hvis du ikke fikk med deg starten på denne tiraden, finner du plass 10 og 9 her og plass 8 og 7 her.

De ti beste - og verste - tingene med Twilightfilmen, plass nummer 8 og 7
Her kommer fortsettelsen på lista over de ti beste - og verste - tingene med Twilightfilmen fra Examiner.com:
Number 8 Suckiest – Deviating from the story in the book
"As someone who has attempted (har har) to write screenplays herself, I understand that they have to be action, action, action and not so much with the ooey-gooey lovey-dovey talking. However… this is “Twilight”, so who went into that theater expecting “Die Hard”? All jokes aside, there is no reason to deviate so much from the book. Outline the plot of the book; take out all of the important, famous, beloved scenes. Do the same thing for the dialogue. The fact that Bella and Edward’s meadow was just a flicker on the screen (faster than Kristen Stewart’s blinking) was a huge mistake, not only because it is so important in New Moon but also because it is beloved to its fans."
Biologi schmiologi
"The fact that the blood-typing scene was removed and replaced with that – what the frick?! – field trip that focused too much on Eric, Jessica and the teacher is beyond infuriating. Where was Mike helping Bella to the nurse? Where was Edward sweeping in with that concerned look on his face? I was really (probably more than I should) looking forward to seeing him steal her out of Mike’s weak-by-comparison arms and carrying her off to the nurse like a white knight. And that sexy line of his instructing her not to look at the fellow patient? Ah, you kill me, Summit! Catherine! Melissa! Whomever I should blame! You suck!"
Jeg erkjenner at jeg har blogget for lite om Butcrack Santa.
"How about this odd diner where Bella and Charlie go to eat all the time? Hello, she cooks for him in the book; it’s a big bonding thing between them, she takes care of her old man. Just like she’s used to doing with her mother; which is key to why her character is so much more mature than the other ditzy high school gals. Not to mention there’s a whole lot of dialogue and important action that happens in their damn kitchen. (“Charlie’s at the funeral.” College applications. Awkward three-way dinners. Come on!) Why are we in this freaking restaurant? With this no-name waitress that is getting way more screen time than she should! With these nosy freaking fellow diners who wanna know about this police investigation that – oh that’s right – never even took place to begin with! Argh!"
Guyliner-Edward.
"And of course, one who is being critical can not pass by the scene with Emo-Edward dressed like a My Chemical Romance wannabe, picking up a limp, bored-looking Bella and sucking her neck, then looking up at the camera through his guyliner and bangs. Listen closely, Summit. Edward does not equal Pete Wentz. Ugh. If this is the best that Bella can fantasize, well damn, get the girl some Harlequin romance novels. (Or hand her this book, ha ha.) The bottom line is, with so much good material, what are you doing putting this garbage in the “Twilight” movie? It’s a famous best-seller for a reason. What makes you think you can do better? And if so, why haven’t you already?"
Number 8 Greatest – Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black
"While I am biased now because I have seen him shirtless - (er, I mean) - I have seen him filming “New Moon” where he actually has a character to play, I am really glad to have Taylor Lautner on board. He’s perfectly cast because he is just as Stephenie Meyer described Jacob Black. Cute, sweet little smile, but still he has a mischievous, bite-your-lip kind of look, with that wildness thundering through his bloodstream. He looks like the younger neighbor who seems harmless and sweet, but suddenly you find you have a crush on him. Until the tame boy grows into a big sexy wolf man and saves your life, ya know. That happens to all of us."
Jacob. Så håpefull. Så forfeilet.
"I think the most important thing here is acknowledging that Taylor is able to play both sides of Jacob Black. He was young enough to play him in the beginning, but also worked his rear off to get in shape and play him convincingly in the next film when he springs up like a weed. A muscular, toned, ripped weed. Ahem – anyways! He understands the dichotomy and captures it well. Thank goodness for you, Taylor Lautner!"
Number 7 Suckiest – The ballet studio scene
"Oh, the moment a year ago when we should have known we were doomed. This clip gets shown on MTV and everyone screams their heads off… until they finish processing what they’ve seen. What – wait a minute there.
First, I loved the intensity. This is supposed to be a terrifying moment, and they… well, they tried. The unbelievable fast-moving vampire garbage takes it toll on this scene, weighing it down like a fat girl on a raft. As does the poorly-choreographed fighting and horrible effects. Did I just see Edward “hi-ya!” kick James into a mirror? Um… alrighty then. Guess Edward hung out with Jackie Chan off-screen at some point. Moving on."
James.
"Look, they got most of it right. However, when Emmett, Jasper and Alice take care of James… it looks appallingly fake. Alice ripping his head off was awesome, until your brain processes the image and chokes. That’s not a pleasant feeling, to gag inside your skull.
But the part that wounded me the most involved Edward, Carlisle and a flailing Bella. Carlisle instructs Edward to suck out the venom; Edward worries that he won’t be able to stop. Then, hoping not to kill the woman he loves, he begins. Only, for some reason, the tone is changed from tense to… (sleepy?) with the ballad coming into the background (which, I like the song, but I don’t think it fits the scene… at all.) Edward loses his friking mind and can’t stop sucking Bella’s blood. As insulting as this is to fans of the book, Carlisle then proceeds to scold him and warn him that he’s killing her. No! While this clearly illustrates the danger in their relationship, it doesn’t do anything to add to the romantic tension of their love story. (At this point in the film that ship had sailed.) Instead, it makes Edward look like some weird psychopath and Bella’s eyes to go crossed. I concede, it never explicitly states whether or not Edward had trouble stopping at that part in the book, but… it certainly never left me with the impression that he was seconds from killing her (or that for a moment in his brain, he actually wanted to). If that was the case, wouldn’t Carlisle give him a swift palm to the forehead and wake his dumb@$$ up? There’s no way he would have knelt next to him and watched him kill her, after knowing how much she means to him. Boo."
"I will make it go away"
Number 7 Greatest – The Cullen’s baseball scene
"Frankly, I go back and forth on these two. They could easily be reversed. But, the terrible special effects aside, (and that guitar riff, oh dear lord, what is that? This ain’t the Power Rangers movie!), the chemistry between the group really comes to life here. They actually look like a family, rather than a group of actors shoved together in front of a camera. Add that to the sounds of Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole” playing in the background? At first, I’ll admit, I was disappointed they chose this Muse song over all the others… I had wanted some dramatic, romantic, apocalyptic (had to round out the –ic words) song for the movie… but I agree that this song fits just so perfectly here."
Robward i boblejakka si. Og noe med en caps og pastime.
"Now for the moments to oogle over. Edward putting the cap on Bella, oh so cute and very Edward, the whole taking-care-of-her thing. Pretty waterfall, nice touch. They really didn’t neglect the natural scenery in this film at all. I grinned when I saw Rosalie and Emmett teasing each other, and I grinned even wider at Esme’s line, “Oh, I know you cheat.” Rosalie being a grump, check. Ah, and I love Jasper toying with the bat right before he steps up to the plate, yes! Alice’s dainty little kick as she pitches the ball, and the sort of gross comment from Rosalie about her monkey man… that fits so well into what we know of her tendency to over-share about their (hers and Emmet’s) sex life. And I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was to see Bella’s hair in the wind, that being the thing that sets James off. But all of that afterglow came to a screeching halt as I saw our beloved Cullen’s hunch over like bad caricatures of The Lion King. C’mon Catherine. High school drama clubs do better than this. (I should know as I suffered through one for four years!)"
Løvenes konge?
"Hang on. Anybody, EVER, catch that line that Bella says after Edward gets in the car? “What now-we-ah-eee-coming after me?” What does she say there, please someone help me."

Number 8 Suckiest – Deviating from the story in the book
"As someone who has attempted (har har) to write screenplays herself, I understand that they have to be action, action, action and not so much with the ooey-gooey lovey-dovey talking. However… this is “Twilight”, so who went into that theater expecting “Die Hard”? All jokes aside, there is no reason to deviate so much from the book. Outline the plot of the book; take out all of the important, famous, beloved scenes. Do the same thing for the dialogue. The fact that Bella and Edward’s meadow was just a flicker on the screen (faster than Kristen Stewart’s blinking) was a huge mistake, not only because it is so important in New Moon but also because it is beloved to its fans."
Biologi schmiologi
"The fact that the blood-typing scene was removed and replaced with that – what the frick?! – field trip that focused too much on Eric, Jessica and the teacher is beyond infuriating. Where was Mike helping Bella to the nurse? Where was Edward sweeping in with that concerned look on his face? I was really (probably more than I should) looking forward to seeing him steal her out of Mike’s weak-by-comparison arms and carrying her off to the nurse like a white knight. And that sexy line of his instructing her not to look at the fellow patient? Ah, you kill me, Summit! Catherine! Melissa! Whomever I should blame! You suck!"
Jeg erkjenner at jeg har blogget for lite om Butcrack Santa.
"How about this odd diner where Bella and Charlie go to eat all the time? Hello, she cooks for him in the book; it’s a big bonding thing between them, she takes care of her old man. Just like she’s used to doing with her mother; which is key to why her character is so much more mature than the other ditzy high school gals. Not to mention there’s a whole lot of dialogue and important action that happens in their damn kitchen. (“Charlie’s at the funeral.” College applications. Awkward three-way dinners. Come on!) Why are we in this freaking restaurant? With this no-name waitress that is getting way more screen time than she should! With these nosy freaking fellow diners who wanna know about this police investigation that – oh that’s right – never even took place to begin with! Argh!"
Guyliner-Edward.
"And of course, one who is being critical can not pass by the scene with Emo-Edward dressed like a My Chemical Romance wannabe, picking up a limp, bored-looking Bella and sucking her neck, then looking up at the camera through his guyliner and bangs. Listen closely, Summit. Edward does not equal Pete Wentz. Ugh. If this is the best that Bella can fantasize, well damn, get the girl some Harlequin romance novels. (Or hand her this book, ha ha.) The bottom line is, with so much good material, what are you doing putting this garbage in the “Twilight” movie? It’s a famous best-seller for a reason. What makes you think you can do better? And if so, why haven’t you already?"
Number 8 Greatest – Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black
"While I am biased now because I have seen him shirtless - (er, I mean) - I have seen him filming “New Moon” where he actually has a character to play, I am really glad to have Taylor Lautner on board. He’s perfectly cast because he is just as Stephenie Meyer described Jacob Black. Cute, sweet little smile, but still he has a mischievous, bite-your-lip kind of look, with that wildness thundering through his bloodstream. He looks like the younger neighbor who seems harmless and sweet, but suddenly you find you have a crush on him. Until the tame boy grows into a big sexy wolf man and saves your life, ya know. That happens to all of us."
Jacob. Så håpefull. Så forfeilet.
"I think the most important thing here is acknowledging that Taylor is able to play both sides of Jacob Black. He was young enough to play him in the beginning, but also worked his rear off to get in shape and play him convincingly in the next film when he springs up like a weed. A muscular, toned, ripped weed. Ahem – anyways! He understands the dichotomy and captures it well. Thank goodness for you, Taylor Lautner!"
Number 7 Suckiest – The ballet studio scene
"Oh, the moment a year ago when we should have known we were doomed. This clip gets shown on MTV and everyone screams their heads off… until they finish processing what they’ve seen. What – wait a minute there.
First, I loved the intensity. This is supposed to be a terrifying moment, and they… well, they tried. The unbelievable fast-moving vampire garbage takes it toll on this scene, weighing it down like a fat girl on a raft. As does the poorly-choreographed fighting and horrible effects. Did I just see Edward “hi-ya!” kick James into a mirror? Um… alrighty then. Guess Edward hung out with Jackie Chan off-screen at some point. Moving on."
James.
"Look, they got most of it right. However, when Emmett, Jasper and Alice take care of James… it looks appallingly fake. Alice ripping his head off was awesome, until your brain processes the image and chokes. That’s not a pleasant feeling, to gag inside your skull.
But the part that wounded me the most involved Edward, Carlisle and a flailing Bella. Carlisle instructs Edward to suck out the venom; Edward worries that he won’t be able to stop. Then, hoping not to kill the woman he loves, he begins. Only, for some reason, the tone is changed from tense to… (sleepy?) with the ballad coming into the background (which, I like the song, but I don’t think it fits the scene… at all.) Edward loses his friking mind and can’t stop sucking Bella’s blood. As insulting as this is to fans of the book, Carlisle then proceeds to scold him and warn him that he’s killing her. No! While this clearly illustrates the danger in their relationship, it doesn’t do anything to add to the romantic tension of their love story. (At this point in the film that ship had sailed.) Instead, it makes Edward look like some weird psychopath and Bella’s eyes to go crossed. I concede, it never explicitly states whether or not Edward had trouble stopping at that part in the book, but… it certainly never left me with the impression that he was seconds from killing her (or that for a moment in his brain, he actually wanted to). If that was the case, wouldn’t Carlisle give him a swift palm to the forehead and wake his dumb@$$ up? There’s no way he would have knelt next to him and watched him kill her, after knowing how much she means to him. Boo."
"I will make it go away"
Number 7 Greatest – The Cullen’s baseball scene
"Frankly, I go back and forth on these two. They could easily be reversed. But, the terrible special effects aside, (and that guitar riff, oh dear lord, what is that? This ain’t the Power Rangers movie!), the chemistry between the group really comes to life here. They actually look like a family, rather than a group of actors shoved together in front of a camera. Add that to the sounds of Muse’s “Supermassive Black Hole” playing in the background? At first, I’ll admit, I was disappointed they chose this Muse song over all the others… I had wanted some dramatic, romantic, apocalyptic (had to round out the –ic words) song for the movie… but I agree that this song fits just so perfectly here."
Robward i boblejakka si. Og noe med en caps og pastime.
"Now for the moments to oogle over. Edward putting the cap on Bella, oh so cute and very Edward, the whole taking-care-of-her thing. Pretty waterfall, nice touch. They really didn’t neglect the natural scenery in this film at all. I grinned when I saw Rosalie and Emmett teasing each other, and I grinned even wider at Esme’s line, “Oh, I know you cheat.” Rosalie being a grump, check. Ah, and I love Jasper toying with the bat right before he steps up to the plate, yes! Alice’s dainty little kick as she pitches the ball, and the sort of gross comment from Rosalie about her monkey man… that fits so well into what we know of her tendency to over-share about their (hers and Emmet’s) sex life. And I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I was to see Bella’s hair in the wind, that being the thing that sets James off. But all of that afterglow came to a screeching halt as I saw our beloved Cullen’s hunch over like bad caricatures of The Lion King. C’mon Catherine. High school drama clubs do better than this. (I should know as I suffered through one for four years!)"
Løvenes konge?
"Hang on. Anybody, EVER, catch that line that Bella says after Edward gets in the car? “What now-we-ah-eee-coming after me?” What does she say there, please someone help me."

Edward i New Moon. Aaaaaaahhh...
Ja, vi trenger å fokusere litt mer på Edward.
Fra Twilight Secrets.
MTV har snakket med Michael Welch som spiller Mike Welch i Twilightfilmene, men siden ingen bryr seg om han (ja, det er brutalt, men det er sant) fikk de han til å snakke om Edward. Lurt! En annen sannhet er at vi strengt tatt ikke får vite så veldig mye nytt om Edward i New Moon - annet enn at han vil. Være. Med.
Mye.
"" — Without a doubt, huge groups of Twilighters all over the world fantasize about Edward Cullen every day. But as popular as breakout star Robert Pattinson has become, those who've read "New Moon" know that his character Edward is absent for much of the story. Now, we've got the scoop on director Chris Weitz's dreamy solution to the problem.
"They figured out a very clever way to get Edward back in the film much more than he is in the book," revealed "Twilight" series star Michael Welch when he stopped by the MTV studios recently, acknowledging that Weitz and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg have devised a plan to work around the "New Moon" plot — which has Edward breaking up with Bella (Kristen Stewart) early in the story and fleeing to Italy. "It's more of, like, a hallucination kind of thing.""
Hva med svart-hvitt-Edward? Funker for meg!
Fra Lauren's Bite.
"As any good Twilighter knows, Bella is heartbroken by their breakup but slowly begins dealing with her Edward-less existence through the realization that dangerous activities — motorcycle riding, cliff diving, etc. — cause her to hear the sexy vampire's voice in her head. Welch was fascinated by Stewart's pretend hallucinations on set and explained to us that Weitz intends to insert sequences of her seeing Edward as "New Moon" inches closer to its November 20 release date.
"It's tricky," he said of the filmmaker's dilemma. "I mean, [Edward] leaves for months."
"In the book, she just hears his voice," continued Welch, who plays rival Bella pursuer Mike Newton in the movies. "In the film, it's more of like a hallucination kind of thing. He will be [in the movie more than the book] for sure.""
Ja til sjalusidrama!
Fra Twilight Secrets.
"While the news of more RPattz is sure to excite some fans, others may be concerned about the tweak — and the manner in which Edward will be glimpsed in Bella's hallucinations. Will he be an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like figure, giving her advice from the great beyond? Will Edward come across more like a god, overseeing her safety from half a world away? Will the sequences play like a bad acid trip from a '60s movie, or more like Bella interacting with an imaginary friend?"
Hvorfor i all verden skal Obi-Wan trekkes inn i dette? Vi kunne like gjerne trukket inn Lex Luthor, da.
Fra enterthecircle.files.wordpress.com.
""It's going to be interesting to see — I have no idea," Welch explained. "You can sort of picture it reading [the script], but I don't know how they actually went about filming that stuff.""
Hvis du vil se videoen med Mike, gå til MTV.
Må definitivt se filmen igjen. Og lese boka. Det har jo gått...uker!

Det beste - og verste - med Twilightfilmen
Jeg har tenkt på, og til og med lovet, at jeg skal skrive en skikkelig anmeldelse av Twilightfilmen,men jeg har vært altfor lat til å gjøre det...Og nei, jeg har ikke gjort det enda. Andre har jo gjort det for meg!
Jaja, jeg SKAL gjøre det. Jeg har masse på hjertet. Jeg har både tenkt på å ta den scene-for-scene, alle de bra tingene, alle de dårlige tingene, beste øyeblikk, beste Robert Pattinsonøyeblikk (det er jo ALT, men kanskje det går an å lage en liste?) og jegvetikkehva. Men nå er det jo ferie. Og det er enda lenge til New Moon, så jeg føler at jeg har så god tid!
I mellomtiden -
enellerannen Megan hos Examiner.com har kommet opp med sin liste over de ti beste - og verste - tingene i Twilightfilmen. Her er nr. 10 og 9:
Number #10 Suckiest – Eric Yorkie stealing half the screen time.
“Bella, look, it’s a worm! Har har har.”
“La Push, baby. La Push. It’s La Push.”
“I am this totally rocking DJ. That’s not cheesy or forced at all. And I work for the school newspaper. And I bite Angela’s head off when she talks to me, yet she still has a crush on me, and when she asks me out, I say yes because that makes sense. Nothing says empowered woman like asking out the guy who treats you like garbage.”
Shut up, Eric.
"What? What, what, what? Someone explain to me, first of all, why Eric has a larger role than Mike Newton. Eric was in the background for most of the novels, heck, he’s hardly mentioned after “Twilight”. Mike Newton is present far more than he is, and his dialogue is a little more dignified. Even if he pukes in a popcorn bucket in the back of Jacob’s car. (Can’t forget that scene.) Eric, instead of having a cute crush on Bella he’s, frankly, up her arse half the movie. He’s eating up screen time. Valuable screen time that could have been used to develop Bella and Edward’s relationship (instead of that sudden-crash-into-the-steering-wheel-without-an-airbag ridiculousness. At least in the novel, it made some sense… there was some buildup. But I’m getting ahead of myself.) At least Bella tells Eric to shut up at one point. Check the cafeteria scene. It’s subtle, but it’s there. We wish we could all do the same, honey."
Number #10 Greatest – Alice Cullen played to perfection by Ashley Greene.
Elsker virkelig alle Alice?
"Ah, the wonderful Ashley Greene. While her wardrobe wasn’t quite right, and she was a bit taller than expected… just look at her face. Her mannerisms. Her way of speaking. She hit every mark with that sweet, cute, all-knowing Alice that we love. Her friendship with Bella seemed natural (sort-of) and… oh heck, you know she nailed it. The twirl as she walked through the cafeteria with Jasper, her carefree “I know it’s all going to work out” attitude, her nearly skipping with joy as she meets Bella for the first time. Thank you, Ashley Greene, for saving us from the despair of a ruined Alice. Bravo. Let’s hope you can only improve on what you didn’t ruin for the next few films, because we love you."
Number #9 Suckiest – Changing it from Bella’s point of view.
"The thing that kept “Twilight” the book grounded was that seeing the story through Bella’s eyes made it believable. It was smart to tell it in first person, because then we feel like it’s happening to us. It allows for the wall to break down, and earns Stephenie Meyer a lot of tolerance for mistakes because we are so swept up.
Which is something Catherine and Co. completely ruined for the movie."
Catherine, han er litt for ung.
"First of all, what the f%$# was with the new, poorly written scenes that aren’t from Bella’s point of view? “Twilight” the book followed Bella for a reason; we’re along with Bella for the ride. We experience what she experiences; we can only know what she knows. When the nomadic vampires show up in the book, we know nothing about them… and it’s that fact that adds to the fearful mystery of what they are capable of, what they plan to do. We haven’t gotten the chance to size them up yet… we’re immediately running away and reacting off of Edward’s horrified face. To add Charlie’s friend Wayland only because you want to have a scene in which he’s murdered by the bad vampires… only to make that scene so cheesy and ridiculous that it’s insulting, ugh!"
James. Tilfeldigvis uten skjorte.
"No, you don’t get a pat on the back for making it relevant by adding another useless scene of Bella and Edward stopping by the police station. What are you doing? That was so completely unnecessary, and you are wasting valuable time. You know, add that reaction to every scene that isn’t involving Bella. We do not care about the random security guard getting killed at some plant by the vampires. Not to mention, I don’t remember them being stupid enough to murder someone in such an obvious way, in a place where there are security cameras, which we can assume they have, since they have f%$#ing security guards in the first place! Argh! (Whew, I’m getting agitated all over again.)"
Den unødvendige politistasjonen.
"Why in the world did they have Victoria at the prom? The first time I saw the movie, I was distracted because they began playing Radiohead's "15 Step" over the credits and I was thrilled… however upon viewing it again I actually rocked in annoyance like a straight-jacketed crazy person. Alice and Edward would have known instantly if she were there. The smell, Alice’s vision, Edward mind-reading the crowd… hello? It’s too conflicting with what we know of the characters. Why would she be there anyway? Apparently she’s up for killing people out in the open, so why wouldn’t she have just lurked in the girl’s bathroom waiting for Bella to drink too much punch? Come on! You are insulting us here. Did you even read the damn book, Melissa? Catherine?"
Ooops! Hva gjør dette bildet her?
"Let’s add to this list, Charlie and the cops finding the bare human footprint as they search for… wait, what are they searching for exactly? The cops are under the impression that animals are attacking; they bring the dogs to follow the scent… so when they find a bare human footprint they should disregard it. But Charlie being so interested in it opens up a whole new level to an investigation that never even took place to begin with. Wouldn’t they think there’s a serial killer on the loose? Impose a curfew?
Also, having Bella sitting in the hotel with Jasper and Alice, worrying about Edward and how the chase was going… that was tense. Seeing them running through the woods was kind of cool, but again, unnecessary. Plus, now we know how they’re doing and we’re not worried like Bella is. We lose that connection with her as a character because we are now superior; we have more knowledge that she does."
Bella på hotell.
Number #9 Greatest – Keeping the heart and soul of Charlie and Renee
"I was happy to see the interactions between Bella with her mother, Renee and Bella with her father, Charlie. They were all very accurate to the characters, and well played by Billy Burke and Sarah Clarke. Granted, their scenes weren’t how they were in the book, but the heart of the characters was still very much there. I loved the scene where Charlie is cleaning his gun, Bella comes by to tell him that Edward wants to meet him, so Charlie takes the gun and cocks it with one hand. Haha, priceless! Also, the shot of Edward sitting across from Charlie as they wait for Bella to emerge on prom night, perfect. No dialogue needed, just icy stares and glares. Fantastic."
Jeg ser bare hot Robward i dress. Og da mener jeg bare.
"Renee saying that she lost her phone charger, Renee asking rapidly if Bella is using protection, I loved it! It was great to see her in the video at the ballet studio; it was good to see her every time she called in to check on Bella. Granted, I wished they’d done more emailing back and forth because when Bella is devastated in New Moon they’re going to miss that… but I can let that one go. Movies are visual and they need that. I am so appreciative that they did not turn Bella’s parents into the enemy. Into a “Parents Just Don’t Understand” stereotype garbage that is so often seen in teen movies. The scene where Bella hurts Charlie as she’s leaving, I really felt that. That poor man is still in love with Renee and now he’s watching his daughter leave him for the exact same reason Renee did… and it shows. Good job, team."
Robward som "sover" og noe med Renee og Bella.

The scene where Bella hurts Charlie as she’s leaving, I really felt that. That poor man is still in love with Renee and now he’s watching his daughter leave him for the exact same reason Renee did… and it shows. Good job, team."
Robward som "sover" og noe med Renee og Bella.

Stalking, tracking, watching...whatev. Nyhetene må ut!
Her er litt herlig set-stalking fra de siste dagene.
Italienske fans står i kø for å få statistroller til New-Mooninnspillingen i Montepulciano. Der det-du-vet skal skje (nå kjente jeg sommerfugler i magen igjen):

Robert Pattinson skriver autografer hengende ut av bilvinduet på vei fra settet et sted i Vancouver:

Bella, Mike og Jacob (og Jessica, men ikke på bildet) spilte inn to scener: Bella og Jessica på kino i Port Angeles og Bella, Mike og Jacob på kino i Port Angeles:

VanCityAllie ber oss forresten om å respektere bildene. Jeg vet ikke helt hva det betyr, og om hun tror jeg hadde tenkt å gjøre noe skittent med dem. Men, ok, Allie: Jeg lover å respektere bildene like mye som du respekterer skuespillerne i New Moon når du snikfotograferer inn gjennom sperringene på settet. Kors på halsen.
