Suu watched New Moon; did not die. Cain can't do it sober.

[Cain]

Had this one on my hard drive since Sunday, but haven't watched it yet.  Will do another amusing "blow by blow" account of the film, once I am done.  I'm hoping it is at least as bad as the book.

[Freeky]

I just think werewolves in general are hard to pull off. Considering the budget that New Moon had, they SHOULD have been able to do better, but it looks like they spent most of the cash on digital video cameras and special effects for the fight scenes with the Volturi. I would have liked for them to have elaborated on that story more, but after all the shit with Jacob it just felt hurried or shortened to meet the time quota.

They only spent about two, maybe three chapters in Italy, so it may not be as rushed as it seems.

[Suu]

Since my sister hates movie adaptations of ANY book (she will howl ad nauseam after any HP movie), she didn't give it a positive review, and like I said, I'm not reading the books, so I can't give that side of the story. Maybe I NEED to though, because the holes are driving me crazy.

That was definitely not 2 chapters worth of material.

[Cain]

To be honest, the books aren't really any better at filling the holes - I actually suspect its the source material dragging the film down, if anything.

[Suu]

Yeah, cause I admit and like LMNO mentioned, the idea of books is unsettling. As standalone films, they really aren't that bad, but you expect something with written word behind it to be a little bit more meaty.

[Freeky]

I suspect the books would be better if Stephanie Meyer wasn't trying to write from an angsty teenage girl POV. You're right, Midnight Sun is way better.

[Suu]

The gimmick doesn't work for her. I've read some pages of Midnight Sun as well and it's a lot better. She should have gone with this from day one.

[Cramulus]

unable to sympathize with edward, who was pretty much a dick through the whole movie. Why is bella into this douchebag again?

special effects from 1996.

bad acting.

at least the soundtrack was okay.



fuck edward, I'm on team jacob


and then jacob cut his hair and now I'm on team BLADE.

[Suu]

Robert Pattison looks like he was hit in the face with a sledgehammer.

Edward SUCKS, Bella is just retarded. He's been trying to get rid of her for 2 damn movies and she can't take the hint. Fuck.

[Cain]

Gonna clean the kitchen, then watch.

I'll be cheering along Team Vodka Shots while writing my account of the film.

I wasn't sober. Neither should you be.

[Cain]

Really, I think this was the sort of thing LSD was invented for, but alas, only vodka and scotch are available.

This.  The book was 90% abject misery and depression (she was literally screaming herself to sleep for much of the book), and then all of a sudden, "OMG!  WE GOTTA GO TO ITALY AND SAVE EDWARD!  GO!  YAY!  NOT-LOVERS REUNITED!"

Team vodka, FTW!

[Suu]

She was screaming in the movie too.
