Are they doing it just to copy Harry Potter? Are they doing it just to make more money? They can't be doing it because the material warrants it, because we all know better than THAT!Mrs. Thuro's Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-11580594185109685832010-07-04T01:51:47.970-05:002010-07-04T01:51:47.970-05:00Rachel:

I was just saying that most others consider Eclipse to take that position.<br /><br />- I didn't say Riley and Jacob were *good*. I said they weren't painfully dull like the others :P . Taylor Lautner, while not great, actually shows more range than Stewart and Pattinson combined. And the guy who played Riley wasn't great either, but at least he wasn't monotone.<br /><br />- Agreed. Charlie continues to be one of the best parts of the movies.<br /><br />- I'm right there with you... the "breaking" thing was stupid and really bothered me. And I was pretty sure they ripped James apart in the first one, but couldn't remember for certain. Though Travis and I were discussing it earlier today... figuring David Slade wanted to be hardcore with the violence, but the producers wouldn't let him be bloody, so they added in the "breaking" thing. But we'll talk more about it on the podcast.<br /><br />- Agreed again. I didn't look at my watch once, either.<br /><br />- Lucky!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332312589214574085.post-79160205027994204502010-07-04T01:35:49.264-05:002010-07-04T01:35:49.264-05:00Some things I agree and disagree with:
-I actuall...Some things I agree and disagree with:<br /><br />-I actually thought Twilight was the best of the books, due to the intrigue, and I'd LOVE it if SMeyer would ever finish out Midnight Sun. Those first twelve "rough draft" chapters were fantastic (in the Twilight sense).<br /><br />-I didn't care for Riley's acting at all. I thought his expressions and mannerisms were perfectly menacing, but as soon as he opened his mouth I nearly laughed. Horrible delivery. I also thought Taylor took a small step back with his acting. It's not fantastic to begin with, but there were parts that were barely more than line reading (the parts when he was wearing a shirt and I was forced to listen to him talk;)<br /><br />-As for RPatz & KStew, I think they've certainly come a long way from the first film (not as much lip biting), but their characters are so damn annoying it's hard to separate the acting from the shitty non-development of Edward and Bella. Together they are nauseating, but I think that's just the love story getting in the way. When they're with others (Jake or Charlie, for example), I think they do a more than passable job.<br /><br />-HATED the "breaking" effect on the vamps. That's not how it went down when the tore James apart in the first film. Why now? It's was comical, but it wasn't suppose to be. Horrible addition to the franchise.<br /><br />-The pacing was very good. I didn't look at my watch once. I always have trouble remembering the sequence of certain events in Twilight, because the pacing is so terrible.<br /><br />-So sorry you missed the HP7 trailer. I got it back-to-back with Inception, making me a very happy girl.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386248680892197260noreply@blogger.com
