So I'm up to Eclipse now. I'm a bit over half way through. Lovin' it more and more.
I'm trying to not read it that fast so I don't have to wait for the next book. They're my sister's books. I totally should buy a set of my own, I think. :lol:
I couldn't agree more!!!!:
is there gonna be a fifth!?
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
Yes (in 9 days :redface:) and can't decide between Twilight and Eclipse, although I do like Breaking Dawn too, what can I say, I'm a scucker for happy endings! I did like New Moon too, but I did race through it so Edward would be back..lol! All in all, love the books, and cant wait to read them again and again!
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
Yes, and absolutely love it. Although there are some differences b/w the book and movie, the bulk of the movie reflects the book well, and I can appreciated that the differences were necessary to bring it to the big screen. I too agree that the soundtrack is amazing, I listen to it constantly, it really is mesmerising, and I love the songs by Rob Pattinson, his voice it incredible!
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
Definitely Edward because he loves Bella so much and his whloe life revolves around what makes her happy. I do like Jacob as a character, I just dont think he was right for Bella.

"You are my life now" Edward to Bella.............oh, swoon!
Yesterday I was googling all things Twilight, and I came across some forums and articles about Breaking Dawn. It seems that there was many unhappy fans who thought SM sold out, and that it was nowhere near as good as the others, and a crap ending, too much sex, not enough romance etc. I for one was very happy with it, and cant really understand the backlash. Given that there'd been no sex for the first 3 books, it was enivitable after they were married, and then they had Renesmee and were preparing for a battle, so was kinda hard to include a heap of romance. Anyone else have any thoughts on this???
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
Yep I read all 4 n 3 days. Very addictive. Breaking Dawn has to be my favourite, and least favourite is New Moon.
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
Yes I saw the movie first. I loved the movie, until I read the books. I too understand that there are always going to be differences between the two as they cram the whole book into a movie. I just thought they could have made the movie a bit longer to fit in some more important story telling detail.
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
If you're asking which one I think is "the one" for Bellah - Definitely Edward. As characters though I loved them both equally. I don't think Jacob really appealed to me until New Moon though, took me a bit to warm to him.

Bella, I couldn?t live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don?t know how it?s tortured me. The thought of you, still, white, cold? to never see you blush scarlet again, to never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses? it would be unendurable. You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 13, p.274
Isn?t it supposed to be like this? The glory of first love, and all that. It?s incredible, isn?t it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?
Edward Cullen, Twilight, Chapter 14, p.302
Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars?points of light and reason? And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn?t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.
Edward Cullen, New Moon, Chapter 23, p.514
I agree with the PP about Breaking Dawn. I thought it was a fantastic ending. There was a lot of sex, but it was used to show Edward and Bellahs incredible attraction to each other. Not over the top at all in my opinion.
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*

i will get back to you on that one, im going to watch it again!
Welcome to our group Rainbow Raver!
I'm sure you will love the books as much as you did the movie. Like you I saw the movie first, and am hooked on both. Admittedly, i watched the movie 3 times in 24 hours last weekend :redface: My DH just thinks I am a complete tragic at the moment, and honestly, i dont blame him :rofl:
Hope you enjoy the books, and cant wait to hear what you think of em :p
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
Yes. I finished on the weekend & started reading Twlight again plus have downloaded Midnight Sun. Twlight was my favourite. I loved watching Bella & Edwards love develop and 'meeting' all the characters. I was a bit annoyed with Breaking Dawn. It skipped too much over Bella & Edwards love. I think this should have developed more, particularly as a married couple. There were hints of how firey their relationship was, but nothing but a let down. Also, I was a bit blown away that when Bella was developing her power that Edward wasn't enough, she relied on Renesmee. I get the whole child thing, but their love was suppose to be IT.....
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
No, not yet. I am avoiding it a bit due to the mixed reactions (more so that it was not that good), but I bought the DVD tonight and am going to veg out tomorrow & watch it - even if it's for a perve! DH is hogging the TV...... Also want to get a copy of the soundtrack.
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
I would say Edward. Jacob sort of annoyed me & overstepped the boundaries sometimes when putting the pressure on Bella to chose him - reminded me of a guy who would't take no for an answer from me. Although Jacob is a bit cheeky & cute, Edward just makes me almost stop breathing...... I have to say though that whilst I didn't warm to Emmetts character, he is pretty hot looking!

There are quite a few, but the one that stands out the most is:
'Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars, points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black.

SIGH
Does anyome have copies they woudl like to lend me?
I will pay for postage and will look after them i promise!!
At last!!! more people I can talk too that arent pre or pubescent girls!!;)
Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?
yep, read all four in about 3 days, then had to read midnight sun (well, as much as I could find!) then I read them again and again and again....
Breaking dawn is deffinately my fave, with twilight a close second, new moon and eclipse just annoyed me, I wanted to skip past all the werewolf crap, who cares about them, give me the vampires!!:lol:
Have you seen the movie? What did you think?
yep, I was warned to enjoy the movie as a movie in itself, which I did, so much so that mum bought me a copy for my birthday!
my personal fave bit is the sequence when bella works out that edward is a vampire, there is a scens of her lying on a couch with edward draped over her about to suck her neck....ahhhh...sadly that pic is not in the complete twilight movie companion (which I bought for my equally obsessed 13 yo neice so I could look at the pictures!!)
Are you an Edward or a Jacob fan? Why?
as far as Im concerned, Edward can cover me in bruises, break my headboard and bite my pillows any day!!! need I say more??:lol:
although alot of people ask me if the reason I named my son jacob was cos of twilight! I hadnt actually read them then!! so im team edward but I think I will buy the Ilove jacob shirt from supre...;)
What is your favourite quote?
there are just too many......most have already been said in here.
Well i have oficcially finished all the books and have just finished watching the movie... and ... well... I have to admit the books are way better - but I did enjoy the movie!
I think what bothered me the most about the movie is it doesn't portray Edwards confidence very well. To me in the book he seems very sure of himself, and he seems the complete oposite in the movie!
Otherwise, the characters have been picked out quite well! Can't wait to see the sequels! ;)
I just watched the movie & the 2nd disk with all the outtakes & stuff.
Why oh why did they make Rob Pattison put on that crap American accent when he has the most drooly English accent. Yeah, I know he is suppose to be American, but sheesh they could have overlooked that.
Edward was not 'smooth' enough IMO & I agree with Teagz, not very confident.
Comparing the book & the movie there is no comparison, but as a movie on it's own it's ok. I hope the next one is better.
so can anyone come up with suggestions as to who as an actor would have been a better Edward?
I cant think of ANYONE good enough!!:rolleyes:
Starrysky "as far as Im concerned, Edward can cover me in bruises, break my headboard and bite my pillows any day!!!" :rofl:
I cant think of anyone else who could have played Edward, I think Rob nailed it although agree that he wasnt as confident as he was in the book. I read on the Twilight Wiki website that that was Rob's interpretation of Edward, and he really butted heads with Steph Meyer over it. Rumor has it that he was even writing suicide notes to himself...tres weird!
DH is out all day tomorrow, will get into my Team Edward tee and watch the movie me thinks...:)
That's interesting about Rob's interpretation of Edward cos I thought it was just a bit of poor directing. When I watched the second disk with the director, Stephanie Meyer etc.... I felt that the director was purely focussed on the scene & effects.
I can't think of anyone else who would have done Edwards character anymore justice though. I think if he was a bit more like himself personally it would have been heaps better. Am going to watch it again b/c when I watched it, it was in sections (due to time) and I think this time it will flow better, also I'll try not to be so critical & judge it against the book so much.
P.S. Anyone go to the Twilight Prom or going to Geelong today?
OMG who has seen the official New Moon trailer!?
Argh Im so excited, Nov cant come fast enough.........
(but I can see that its going to be choppy like the first movie, no way do I remember Jacob morphing into a wolf infront of Bella when Laurent cornered her *sigh*)
So anyone wanna lend me their books??
i just dont understand how the books could be better than the movie!
The trailer of New Moon looks amazing..... i cant wait for November :)
You're right Anna... Jacob doesnt do that in the book but i think New Moon will be alot better then Twilight (and i loved Twilight)
Hun i couldn't agree with you more!! I cant STAND her!!:wall::
Definately Nikki - true to the story or not it looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better but a higher $$$ budget will do that!
Rainbow - OMG the movie does not do the book justice. Read all the books before you see the next installment.
ETA - where the heck are the Team Emmett tshirts. While Edward and Jacob are hot, Emmett is the epitomy of sexiness for me ;)
I think its just editing! So its not the actual sequnce IYGWIM?:
I love it! Come on November! WOOOHOOOO!:dance:
OMG, so hanging out for November to get my next fix...lol!
Twilight won 5 awards at the MTV awards today, including best kiss. The first time I watched it, I didnt think much of it, but now when I watch that scene, its really so intense, and gets my heart racing :redface:
According to Famous magazine last week, there are gonna be lots of differences in New Moon, including lots of scenes with Edward and Bella. I'm not complaining though, I love them together!
I can't wait for it!!! :lol:
Anna - I thought the exact same thing about Jacob morphing infront of Bella when I watched it too.
Rainbow Raver- Im going to buy the first book this week and as soon as i've finished it, i'll lend it to you :)
I tend to agree on this one.....my absolute favourite male characters would have to be Emmett and Felix. Both are my type of guy. Funnily enough, my SIL thinks the same and both our husbands (who are brothers) have the same cheeky attitude to life, so maybe that's indicative there.:
Actually, I would say it's more along the lines of the way Twilight melded Bella's 'discovery' and revelations of Edward's nature and the meadow scene. I would say that Bella actually does find out about Jacob when he morphs while Laurent has her cornered. They can only fit so much of a book that big into one movie really.:
I can't wait until the next trailer comes out.....it would have to be a Volturi one. This is going to be one very very long teaser advertising campaign! 6 months!!
River I read an interveiw and its actually 2 different scenes! The one where Jake morphs is when he is going to fight Paul!
But your right they messed up the meadow scenes and can only fit so much in! :)
Boomba- thank you so much hun! Do you think i need to read the books first before i read it? I printed it all off today so i have it in my hot little hands :)
Um yeah you probably should read the books first cause its kinda the big surpise in the last book! But its up to you?
Cool. I'm suprised they are keeping that much similar to the book.:
they have the trailer for the movie on SM's official website :D

Have you read all 4 books? Which one was your favourite?

I watched the movie after it came out on DVD, i thought it was ok (hadnt read the books then) fell in love with Edward Cullen in the movie (he is SOO my kinda man ;) ) then my MIL lent me the first 2 books (read them in 2 days) and went out and brought the last 2, have since gone out and brought the first 2 so i can have my own copies to read over and over again lol

Stevie - they are making all four books into movies. they are starting production on Eclipse shortly with a release date in June 2010 and Steph M is on the books for helping with the screen play for Breaking Dawn.
:redface: ok so this is going to sound lame I know, but since finishing the books (I read them all through twice in a row!) I find myself missing all the characters!
I guess I feel like I know them so well they feel like old friends! :lol: DH thinks I'm crazy :rolleyes:
I can't wait for the New Moon movie to come out!!!
SS not lame at all! I found it hard to disconnect once i finshed...hence i am a BIG twilght fan and have joined another forum dedicated to it :redface:
