I will be back to answer the questions later when DD goes for a nap. But I wanted to ask did anyone spot the wonderful Edward Cullen (or at least the actor who plays him) sitting behind Mickey Rourke (I think thats his name) at the Oscars.
Just for the record I have read the series 3 times.
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite? Yes I have read the series twice so far. Its hard to pick a favorite cause I love all of them. I would say Twilight just cause it started my whole OCD. But I did love Eclipse the tension was unbearable! I am still not fussed on BD though I feel it was rushed and there was way to much mushed in there! I still cried in so many parts though!
Have you seen the movie? What did you think? I have seen the movie 4 times I think? lol! Yes all at the cinema no pirated copies here :P The first time I saw it I think I was rushing it to end cause i wanted to see the good bits! I wasn't overly impressed with Bella (Kirsten) and didnt think Rob was beautiful enough to be my Darling Edward! Second time though i was in love! Swoon! I really wish they didnt skip the blood typing part though it would have been funny!
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why? Umm EDWARD!!!!! First time I despised Jacob, why did he keep trying to steal Bella away from the man she loved! But I eventually grew to love him! And having the Jacob book made me love him ( like a brother) even more!
Why do I love Edward, He is charming, thoughtful, intelligent, loves music! And drives a Volvo! Yes I have ans always will love Volvo's ( we had one as a kid!)

"Sleep my Bella, dream happy dreams. You are the only one that has ever touched my heart, it will always be yours, sleep my only love."-Edward
"Bella I can't live in a world where you don't exist."-Edward
"Penguins, lovely"-Edward
"Fall down again, Bella?"
"No, Emmett. I punched a werewolf. in the face"-Emmett and Bella
"if i could dream at all it would be about you. and I'm not ashamed of it" -Edward
Can I just say, while an alright watch, I was a tad disappointed in the movie Sometimes I just wish theyd make it 3hrs so they could not have it be so choppy, I certainly wouldnt object to 3hrs of Edward Cullen I agree with Amy on the bella-too-serious comment but she definately fits the character. Glad I read the book before seeing the movie, lots of little important bits got missed that it was good knowing while watching.
Bought and started book 2 yesterday and I think Im already half way through, so not what I expected! Might have to go get book 3 and 4 on thursday hahahaha
No, just the first one so far, waiting for my gf to find the rest of her books
Which one was your favourite?
The first one so far... although I will update this later.
Have you seen the movie?
Yes and I hated it.
What did you think?
IIt was so flawed, the character respresentation of edward SUCKED! He is over a 100 yrs old, he would not fumble and stutter over his words. In the book he was so exact in what he wanted and what he knew, he had an awesome sense of humour which was very attractive to me and it wasn't even portrayed in the movie. The movie didn't do much for me it all. It didn't develop any of the characters enough to understand them. Even DH who hasn't read the book said the movie was so choppy he imagined there would be so much of the movie on the editing room floor. The only time we really got to see a glimpse of the true Edward was towards the very end of the movie, when he was confident and calm. I thought TBH he was the worst actor I have ever seen, way too wooden. And I really don't think they read any of the text describing the characters at all, especially edward. What was with that big boofy "James Dean" like hair. Soooo annoying, and from a design perspective why didn't they adjust the makeup to suit the lighting that was annoying me too. The other thing I wanted to see more of was his driving heh, in the book it is quite noted how precise and FAST he drives... yet you really wouldn't get that from the movie unless you had seen the book and put two and two together. The father character was also more passive in the book than on screen. The other thing that was COMPLETELY flawed was the way they portrayed Edward to be "like" a teenager, another big part of the book is that neither of them were like regular teenagers. He was been alive for over 100 yrs he wouldn't fumble or sook like a teenager he would brood like a man, and I saw none of that wisdom that he has in the book. ANNOYING! And she wasn't EVER scared. She was very firm with that, I hated how she fumbled over it in the movie through that damn annoying heavy panting LOL. She was way more empowered in the book.
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan?
Edward.
Why?
His personality reminds me of DH, we even talked about it after watching the movie. That cute protective streak that Edward has for Bella is exactly like DH. He is very gallant and strides in to keep me safe especially when I least expect it (and often most need it) I also like his sense of humor (in the book) also very similar to DH.

Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite? Of course!! I can't pick, umm...maybe Breaking Dawn.
Have you seen the movie? What did you think? Yes, I thought it was crap! I agree most of what Cai said! I didn't like Edward at all, I thought Bella was alright probably bc she looked most like how I imagined in my head. Some of it was way too corny and cheesy and they didn't explain everything enough!! They spent way too much time on the unimportant bits and then rushed through the end!! And what was with their hissing noises when they met the other vampires at the baseball game, rofl, they sounded like kittens!! That bit really annoyed me, they're supposed to be scary. I don't think it explained the whole vampire thing very well at all.
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why? mmm.... Edward. Isn't he just every girls fantasy, all protective and so in love with her!! Jacob is alright but he annoyed me, get over it she doesn't want you!!
What is your favourite quote? Oh, so many, I don't know!
You're intoxicated by my very presence. (Edward) - Yes, true!! lol
They have a name for someone who smells the way Bella does to me. They call her my singer - because her blood sings for me. (Edward)
Cai, your spot on with your movie comments! Edward was not the strong type portrayed in the book and Bella was a simpering mess instead of unphased by it all. I think the actor who plays Edward was done an injustice, he fits his description and def has the acting potential to portray him properly but the script sucked.
ETA - did anyone else think the actors playing the Cullens were spot on!? Esp Alice, exactly how I imagined her.
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
yes i have read all four (and a half!) books - went to toowoomba on a holiday bought Twilight on the monday, had it finished by Tuesday morning and went and bought the other 3 and had them read by Thursday afternoon!! I have to say that i love twilight the most (although it is close with breaking dawn!) its the beginning of everything - where they find each other and more importantly - themselves!
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
Yes i saw the movie - I did enjoy it - not quite as much as the books though. They left a lot out - like developing Bella's clumsiness - you kinda see it but i dont think you see it enough to understand where Edwards's protectiveness comes from. The blood typing scene would have been FANTASTIC to be in the movie. oh and the timeline kinda sucked - what happened to the girls choice dance??
oh and i wish that before i had seen the movie i had read midnight sun because after reading it (and watching the movie again) i could see where Rob Pttinson got his motivation adn ideas from - he does play the character more from Edwards point of view...
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
definitely Edward - can't explain why.......just am!! Do you blame me???
What is your favourite quote?
there are just too many to choose from - i can't pick just one.
I have read the series SO MANY times now that DH is getting tempted to hide them from me. But i did go to stephenie Myers website and d/load the PDF of midnight sun - and am almost done reading it again - I like o read it after i read twilight and before i start new moon. I sOOO wish she would hurry up and finish it!!
I also read on her site that she loved the Cassandra Clare books - now i have read all three of those too!!!
Hmmm True blood? another series?? who is the author please???
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
i havnt read any, but after watching the movie last night...I AM GOING TO BUY THEM ALL TOMORROW!
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
YES!!! loved it!!!! going to watch it again now! love the baseball scene!!!!
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
edward...mmmm *drools*
What is your favourite quote?
