Welp, I'm still in Twilight la la land. I'm sorry.
I have finished all of the books, and the movies. I am actually currently watching Eclipse with the commentary on, commentary by Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. It was a good choice. Rob is hilarious. We are about 3 minutes into the movie and Rob has discussed cheeseburgers about 4 times.
After reading Breaking Dawn, and watching all the movies, and also rereading my own prior blog post, because I am obsessed with myself, I have a few things I need to add/clarify. I will also include my commentary on Rob and Kristen's commentary, as I listen to it.
Like the fact that, as if there was any question, they are so totally banging. They're just giggling at each other. It's like Twilight pillow talk.
Cheeseburger reference #5.
So, I feel like, in my previous Twilight discussion, I came down kinda hard on Edward. I DO like Edward. He's charming, in his own way. And RPattz is hella dreamy. And hilarious/charming/crazy in real life. And British. Let's never forget that he is British. Even though it wouldn't have made any sense, I wish that they had let Rob use his british accent as Edward. Because it would totally increase Edward's hotness, tenfold. I mean, if Peter Facinelli can use an inexplicable unidentifiable accent in Eclipse, why can't RPattz use his own accent? Whatever.
Cheeseburger reference #6. Possible cheeseburger diarrhea reference #1.
I also really praised The Abs a lot, which, I think, deserve praise, but I don't want there to be any question: I would always, in every situation, choose pale skinny boy over uber-muscled possibly Native American boy. No question.
I do stand by my assertion that I do not understand how anyone could like Edward over Jacob. Edward is okay, I guess, but he is also a controlling, abusive asshole. He lies to Bella, keeps things from her, won't let her do things, won't let her see Jacob, makes her do whatever he wants, go wherever he goes or wants her to go. Jacob always tells her the truth, sort of lets her do what she wants, but will give her shit about it if he thinks she's being stupid. And he never stops trying to win her over! I like that. All I want is a friend who is in love with me, and will beat me over the head with his love until I give in.
"Have you ever gone down to the bottom of a swimming pool and, like, looked up? Scary stuff." -RPattz commentary
And, really, along the same line of "what reason does Stephenie Meyer give to make you love Edward", what reason does she give to make you love Alice? Why is Bella BFFs with Alice? Because Alice can see the future, and told Bella they'd be BFFs, so she was just like, "Oh, okay then. BFFS!" There is so much talk about how awesome Alice is, and how much Bella loves her, but...why?! Because she forces expensive clothing and makeup on her? Lame.
"Do you ever, like, watch people kiss in public?"-RPattz commentary
So, I reread Breaking Dawn, and as it turns out, I had forgotten about 85% of the book. I remembered pillow-biting, bed-breaking, Renesmee, and imprinting. That was it. Everything else was a surprise to me. BUT, one little part I had totally forgotten about, was this:
Edward leaned his head against the same shoulder where he'd placed Renesmee. "Goodbye, Jacob, my brother...my son."
*vomits*
You know, Stephenie Meyer was really pushing my tolerance level, first with Renesmee, and then with Jacob's imprinting on her. But I DO NOT believe that Edward would EVER, particularly not after a matter of months, think of Jacob as his son. Remember that time, less than a year ago, when he was sharing a sleeping bag and having boner thoughts about your wife/his future mother-in-law? That'll make for an awkward thanksgiving.
I hope they don't include that in the movie, but I have no hope that they wouldn't include something that awful in what is sure to be a terrible/awesome movie. But I don't see how Rob Pattinson will be able to say that without laughing. There's no way he could ever seriously think that line is legit. Ugh. I'm sort of sad I have to wait till whenever part 2 comes out in order to see that. But god, that last movie is going to be terrible, huh? I mean, I guess it will be cool to see Kristen as a vampire, and her sudden super strength and agility.
Aww, Kristen is getting all caught up with emotion at the proposal scene, and Rob is just embarrassed. Kristen has really grown on me throughout this recent Twilight adventure. I'm really liking that Kristen seems very familiar with the books, and talks about how the movies are relating to the books, and Rob keeps coming up with all these outlandish theories, and trying to tie them to the books. He is also very quick to defend Edward, and talk about how much Bella and Jacob are just awful. Kristen is really more genuine and passionate about these films, and playing Bella, then I would have thought.
Oh my god, Rob just said "blueberries" in the commentary, but pronounced it "blue-brees" Thaaaat's adorable and british.
Kristen's really pretty gorge in this movie. Eclipse. Her hair (a wig, apparently, I've learned from this commentary) and her makeup look great. Particularly her makeup. Simple, but the eyeshadow and lipcolor really play up her natural features nicely.
I wish Rob Pattinson smiled more in these movies. His smile is pretty killer. Even in the books, Bella always talks about how much she loves his crooked smile. And yet in the movies, we never see it. Sad.
Haha, I am loving Kristen and Rob arguing about who is more awful: Bella or Edward.
I wish I had more time, you know, in my life, to watch movies with the commentary on. Because obviously I need to watch it through once without commentary, so I can hear what the hell is going on. But then once I'm done watching it once, I don't really want to watch it again, this time with the commentary. But I did think the commentary on this would be amusing, with Kristen and Rob, and I was right.
