Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t recall anything that to me would constitute a R rating for Eclipse, maybe a hot and heavy snogging scene and Bella trying to get herself naked? They have already left a lot of the kissing scenes out of the movies so I’m not expecting to see to much of that in the next movies anyway. BD is definitely far more R, but I see it as a natural progression, Stephenie keep everything pretty tame intimacy-wise till they are a happily married couple (to me a very good thing to be putting out to our youth, keeping it wholesome and “no ding ding without the wedding ring”) I just hope we get a glimpse of the part where she walks out to meet him in the ocean, but that’s just me wanting to see more half naked Robert (I can see the scene in my mind too, B walks out wrapped in towel, sees E – pause to appreciate him- then we see just her hand as she hangs up the towel, fade into the towel and then fade out on the feather strewn bedroom… leave the rest up to those old enough to imagine the rest and let the youngsters think that had a wild pillow fight after their swim Apologies for the next part, totally off the R rated topic, but I just have to add that I can live with less in BD as long as the dog bowl scene is in, I love that part!

Thanks Crystal…lol. I’m just tired of hearing people complain about this. I do agree with you about how they’re not sticking to the book, but it’s not even that, it’s how much information they’ve left out that really shows the storyline and what really drew people to the books in the first place. The problem with books is that you get to know what the person is thinking and know what is unspoken between the characters. This is just like the Harry Potter Series. I didn’t read all of them, but I knew people who did, and there were things they did that was similar to the changes they made with the Twilight Saga.

When you write a book, you don’t expect it to turn into a movie. Writing a book takes a lot of time and effort and there is always that 50/50 chance that it could flop or be very successful. It just happened that her books were successful. Well there are some books that you have to be a certain age to read. There are porn books and things out there and you have to have ID to even buy it. Obviously the publishing company didn’t think it was too graphic or where it should be age limited. She used her creativity and wrote what she felt. She may be a Mormon, but that doesn’t mean she can’t use her imagination to write what she wants. I also don’t believe she wrote the books for the younger generation or thought about who her audience could end up being. I think she thought it was going to hit the more mature audience, not 15 and under.

Truthfully, I don’t really care if the movie is done in R or PG-13. I care about the movies relating to the books. So far, they’ve left a lot out of the movies that were in the books. Like Bella’s sickness when she smells blood. They missed key points in how Bella and Edward feel about each other and it shows clearly when you listen to the responses from people who actually read the books and people who just watched the movies. I’ve read all the books and I believe that you can do the honeymoon and the birth scene in PG-13. Remember, Bella shows you her point of view right after Jacob’s section gets done in the book. They might do Bella’s version to limit the “gore” or Edward biting through her uterus. Bella’s version is PG-13 and if you don’t remember that, then you should read the book again. After all, they’ll most likely flash the scene in and out like as if you were in Bella’s point of view. It is ridiculous to see younger kids watching the movies. My bf has a 7 and 4 year old and I’m almost 21 with one on the way. I wouldn’t let them hear, let alone watch the movies. They’re too young. Some parents may allow it and that’s fine. It’s their parental right. Even if they did the movie in R, which they’re not going to, don’t you think the little 8 and 9 year olds would have someone they knew over 18 or their parents take them to see it? Regardless of what the rating is, kids are still going to see it. The “R” rating just stops them from going in by themselves. Also, Stephanie is a great writer and why should you talk bad about her or her religion? If it wasn’t for her the books and the movies wouldn’t be here, so maybe everyone should just stop acting like a 2 year old and grow up. You should be appreciative that she wrote books and allowed the movies. If you’re not happy with the rating of the movie or how she wants things done, then don’t watch the movie BD or read the books. Go find something else to complain about.

Breaking Dawn was totally R! I mean she wrote the scene where Bella walks down the beach to Edward in the water completely nude. Not to mention the lingerie and the “intimate” scenes that all of us older readers are just dying to see played out on the silver screen. And how are they just going to gloss over the birth scene?

I also have to add to my previous post as far as rated R. I would never bash ones religion or the choices they make in that religion. She wrote them PG, they are read as PG-13 and made into movies as PG-13, yet her fans- the ones who made this so popular- want more. Rated R is more accepted now than ever. It’s not we’re asking BD to be made NC-17 which is FAR worse than R. Atleast R parents can judge if they want their kids to see it. She needs to bend a little or her followers will turn their backs.
