So it's hard to tell if she was starting to accept the Cullens. But I thought the sequence worked in the movie.<br />-I'm pretty sure the narration concerning the growing pack is taken almost verbatim from the book.<br />-Since this is the first time we see Alec's powers, I think the smoke made a useful visual effect.<br />-The fight didn't feel cheated. And as an alternate universe, it actually did occur. (Think Fringe (and I'd rather not).)<br /><br />-I put my popcorn down, otherwise I may have thrown it when I saw Aro rip off Carlisle's head.<br />-Was vastly entertained. I'd be interested to see how it would read if Stephenie rewrote the book using the screenplay.<br />-Absolutely loved the cinematography.<br />-Loved the fight scene. The book builds up to it, then leaves it hanging. This way we get both the fight, and the happy "Forever".<br />-The cottage made me think almost of an old English cottage à la Jane Austen.<br />-Like Alice's vision of Renesmee and Jacob. For me it shows the future and closes the chapter without need for a sequel.<br /><br /><br />Previews:<br />I remember Silver Lining Playbook (interesting)<br />Now You See Me (heh)<br />Oz, The Great and Powerful (potential)<br />Warm Bodies (could be interestin)<br /><br /><br /><br />I really enjoy the show and am glad you're going to keep doing it!!!Crys Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860245541849690694.post-29183711952260408312012-11-26T15:51:59.403-08:002012-11-26T15:51:59.403-08:00Another awesome show ladies.

Byzantium!<br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to say a few things...as an American. Before you think "uh oh", just know I've been around the block a time or two. I was born in 1962 and lived through the vicissitudes of life both big and small - not that I'm done, mind you! My point is I hope Americans are not judged entirely on what certain public figures say and what the current debate is in Washington, DC. I'm not saying that we shouldn't take responsibility and action for our political figures, I'm just saying that what's emphasized in the news is not necessarily what's discussed in the pubs and at the dinner table. Also, we don't corner the market on stupidity.<br /><br />Later!Wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905205970723419746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860245541849690694.post-23308232287487789142012-09-16T08:17:35.872-07:002012-09-16T08:17:35.872-07:00Hmmmm.

We stayed in the Cullen house B&B and I went on the tour. I bought a Bella bracelet and t-shirts. I think I was there at the height of the hype and everything was Twilight. We did hike the Ho Rainforest and went to all of the beaches.

Many others I've listened to have just left or done away with Twilight, but you all really show what genuine fans you are and I know myself, and many others truly do appreciate it! And sorry in advance, my story may be a bit long.<br /><br />I am so excited to answer this question for your contest, I couldn't wait to tell you all! So, here's how I knew I was a Twi-hard:<br /><br /> I was in the 6th grade, and yes, that was way back in early 2006! Beginning the first book, and having to wait each year for the next was really difficult, but so worth it! I've truly grown up with this series. Anyway, my friend had picked it up at the local Borders (before it was bought out by B&N) and told me it was amazing and I had to read it, and was originally interested from the cover art. I agreed to try it out, and she brought it too me at a sport's practice one day and I began reading that night...and I could not stop. I was so enthralled with the world, and everything about it. It took me two days to read it originally ( I can now read much faster haha) , and the last day I remember I was kind of sick so I stayed home from school. I finished it that morning, and distinctly remember when I closed the book knowing that I was a goner. I had read many books before but never have I been as involved with anything more than Twilight. Ever since then, I went to the book midnight releases, listened to multiple podcasts, kept up with fansites and have just indulged in about everything Twilight. Although the only real merchandise I have purchased has been the posters, books, and a shirt, I am about as die hard as they get in my mind. College budgets don't exactly lend to me spending a bunch of money on merchandise! I am so jealous of Marina for going to Forks by the way! That has always been a dream for me to go there, and thanks for all the detail in telling me about it! Hopefully, I will make it there one day and be able to see La Push as well, and then give you some details about it :D. I guess that's my story. Twilight was my very first fandom and I believe I will always love it. This contest was able to make me think about all the good people I have met, and things I have encountered through the fandom and I couldn't be happier with where Twilight has brought me!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900705552570020074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860245541849690694.post-79013654788818208362012-08-08T16:06:04.848-07:002012-08-08T16:06:04.848-07:00Those are both my comments at the top!
