    yeah i have to go with my fav second as Carlisle too. i'm sure that if the books were about him, he'd be my fav, as i think he and edward are at the base of it fairly similar in traits IYKWIM.

    hmm, yeah thats right, the movie missed some really key (or at least IMO) scenes. hope they have the better budget to get it better this time (including the makeup!!).

    I seriously wasnt feeling the love for the movie edward. as cai mentioned i felt that he couldnt really portray his longevity masquerading as a teen well enough. hopefully with some acting coaching and stronger direction etc that will iron itself out.

    i also didnt think that rosalie was wardrobed right. she is meant to be the height of fashion and beauty and i kinda felt that in every scene she looked dishevelled.

    Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
    Yes I have read them all but probably rushed through them too much. I think I will read them again soon. I would probably say my favourite was Eclipse but I loved them all.

    Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
    Yep Amber took me to see it I really liked it but didn't love it. I always find the movies are never as good as the book, but am looking forward to seeing what they do with New Moon.

    Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
    Oooh tough one. I really like them both I love how Edward is so romantic and sweet but I also love how Jacob is a bit cheeky.

    What is your favourite quote?
    I don't actually have one just yet. I think because I read the books so quickly. I think once I read them again I will probably pick up a lot that I missed first time around.

    I just finished the 3rd read through of the whole series. My favourite book would be New Moon, closely followed by Twilight. I loved how New Moon introduced Jacob further and the added dimension that Bella loved Edward but Jacob is also an important part to her being too.

    Have you seen the movie? What did you think?

    I have seen the movie several times. I liked it but I wouldn't say I loved it. I was surprised because I am notorious for hating movies based on books that I have read first. The acting was kind of wooden. I wasn't a fan of some of the casting choices (Bella, Rosalie and Carlisle). Mainly because I have a habit of reading books and picturing the characters based more on their character rather than the physical description the author provides.


    Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?

    That is a hard one because I like each of them for different reasons. I really can't pick. I love Edward's romantic nature but I also love Jacob because he is so cheeky.

    What is your favourite quote?

    My favourite quote is the one where Emmett asks her if she fell down and she responds that she actually punched a werewolf.

    I also like the quote (I don't know the exact wording) where Edward thought it would be safer for her without him and to trust her to take up with werewolves. Sorry I don't have access to New Moon to give the exact wording.

    My other favourite character is Alice.

    LOL me too. Jacob wasn't as I pictured but that's because I just made it up in my head and didn't pay enough attention to what the author said. I didn't picture him with long hair or looking so native american, more just a guy with a tan, And I always have to picture Edward with black hair for some reason!

    What did you guys think of the Cullen's house in the movie?? It was nothing at all like i pictured it... i think it was too modern in the movie
    Me too, it was way too modern!
