Twilight/Stephenie Meyer fans

I think, unlike a lot of people, that Kristen Stewart makes a BETTER Bella than Emily Browning especially, and also Ellen Page. Stewart is not what people would think of as conventional beauty. Sure she's not ugly, but she's not Eliza Dushku either. I think she has that almost "plain jane" look to her that makes her better suited to play Bella.

I don't think Kristen Stewart is ugly or even plain, maybe I'm one of the only ones though. After seeing her in a couple of movies I think she's actually quite attractive.

Stephanie Meyer though, described Bela's situation as being similar to hers. When she lived in AZ or wherever, she would have been considered a '5', because all the 'hot girls' were the "fake" types with bleach blonde hair and tans and everything, but when she went to BYU for college she was considered more of an '8'.

So basically Bela's not really supposed to look unattractive or plain...just a different type of beauty.

Which I think makes Kristen perfect for the part. 🙂
 
i have finished the first book. actually, i did quite a bit ago, but i never mentioned it here. and oh my god do i love it! I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. must get sequel! :silly:
 
Ooh, another Twilight fan! Awesome! By the way, New Moon isn't as good as the other two, but it's still great. The main problem is that it's seriously lacking something, and you'll find out who or what that is within the first few chapters. Eclipse is fantastic! It's my second favorite, and Twilight only beats it by the smallest margin.

By the way, Kryptonite, I agree. Gaspard will ALWAYS be my Edward, and I died a little inside when I found out he wasn't cast (even though I was well aware that there was almost no chance of him playing the part.) Thus, I have come to the simple conclusion that Robert is Movie!Edward and Gaspard is Book!Edward. Everyone knows Book!Edward is much, much hotter than any movie character could be.

By the way, for those of you who have yet to witness the wonder that is Gaspard, here he is:

I'm totally convinced that he's actually Edward Cullen, but he's just speaking French and not telling anyone.

And also, for those of you who haven't seen the first official picture of the Cullens, here it is:

None of them are really terrible, but the only ones that are genuinely great are Kellan (Emmett) and Ashley (Alice). Those two look exactly how I envisioned them!
 
A lot of people I know had read and loved Twilight, so I thought I'd give it a shot. One of them seriously reads the book at least three times a month. So I think I ended up borrowing it from my English teacher and... I couldn't get past the first 150 pages. I thought it was awful. Nothing happened, and I love to read, but I'm of the persuasion that if I'm not into the story at all after such a portion of the book, there's no point in persuing it. It's one of only two books I've ever dropped with no intention of returning.

So, not a fan.

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here's a small teaser trailer for the movie: Twilight
 
OMG! That was freakin awesome!

And from the trailer, at least it seems to be true to the book. Hopefully the rest of the movie is true to the book as well!

I'm not really feeling that guy who plays Edward though... it's just not what I envision in my head!

I know! I mean, he's not ugly, but he's certainly no Edward!
I seem to have the opposite idea that you do. From the trailer it doesn't seem a whole lot like the book. Bella doesn't realize that Edward stopped the van with his hands. She considers the idea but seems to write it off when she's in the hospital. Also, Emmett never seemed against the idea of Edward liking Bella. Plus, Edward doesn't jump out of a window when she says she's not afraid of him - that's when Alice teases about eating her.

I know their not going to be exactly the same but trying to stay a little similar would be nice. I'm sure I'll love the movie either way though.
 
Well, I did recognize the fact that the Cullens cannot fly... they just run fast. And it seemed as if Edward was flying when he and Bella went out the window.

With the Emmett thing, I always got the impression at the beginning of the book that the Cullens did not understand Edwards attraction and maybe didn't approve of it at first. It was never explicitly stated, but perhaps implicitly implied?

Regarding Emmett: I remember that in the book, he was sort of indifferent to it. Rosalie was the only Cullen who was really against it. I think they just wanted to give him something to do in the movie, since he was barely in the book. In fact, the only Cullens that had even remotely large roles in the first book were Edward and Alice.

And as for the jumping part, I think they were trying to copy the part where Edward jumps onto the couch with her, but wanted to make it tree-jumping so it was more visually exciting.

I think he was just jumping really far.

The movie looks okay. It's good that they're not straying way too far from the book, even though I'm sure there will be some major differences. To be honest, I'd see it if they decided to make the Cullens sock puppets. I've been waiting for this movie way too long to give up on it.
 
even though ive read the first book, i still avoid movie-spoilers like the plague 🙂. ill see whats different when i see the movie, and a glimpse of it when the trailer starts airing on TV (no avoiding that except to stop watching all TV altogether. what crazy talk! 😛). so very excited for the movie though!
