I agree. I love Twilight because it introduces us to the characters and there are some scenes in there that I watch again and again and again (I rewind and watch the last scene where they’re dancing in the gazebo cuz RPattz in that scene is just exactly the way I think Edward would look, when he bends her backward and moves toward her neck, that is just a perfect sequence for me!!!) But New Moon brings out emotions in me that none of the others have. So many, many scenes are just perfect. In fact, now that we’re talking about it, I’m going to put in my New Moon DVD and watch IT again!!!

I have been thinking for the past week that I would go to see Eclipse 1 more time (I’ve seen it 4 times cuz I love this cast, mostly RPattz, but Kristen and Taylor and all of them) and I keep procrastinating. I realized this morning that I just do not want to sit through the scene where Kristen jumps on the back of Jake’s bike and rides off leaving Edward looking like a fool, and the botched up proposal scene and, of course, I realized I just cannot watch that last scene again. Thanks a lot MR.

i can’t believe i forgot tht last scene! Yeah when bella was like “No it’s not about you!” i was like wht the heck too because that part seemed so wrong! why is it too much for MR to stay true to the book??? especailly when it comes to Edward and Bellas relationship!

BTW – Eclipse has now passed the New Moon mark in comparison on day 14.

I also still enjoyed Eclipse very much despite MR-but New Moon I think is my favorite – it captured Bella’s feelings for Edward the most I think of the three movies.

I agree with the above comments – MR really did change the story – Bella even told Edward in the bedroom/proposal scene in the book, when Edward wondered if it was more about being an immortal than being with him and Bella laughed, saying she thought he was the smart one, and she only wanted to be immortal to be with him forever. For some reason, Bella is seen as weak because she “needs” Edward so much. Yet, she still reads her books, still studies, still worries about what other people think (about marrying young), still cooks for her dad, still desires to keep her friendship with Jake (it’s Jake that blurs the lines constantly). She maintains her. She just happens to love Edward so much that she’s willing to do what it takes to be with him forever. Aren’t most of us like that? I would go anywhere for my husband, do anything for him (except go against God’s principles-but he wouldn’t ask me to), but I’m still me. I haven’t lost me. Bella doesn’t lose herself. She’s not weak – why can’t MR get that thru her head?

I know Eclipse is seen as a failure in terms of the dip in box office recipts,but keep in mind movies that come out in the summer,are like on an assembly line. One comes out after the other and it’s difficult for one film to dominate the entire season. New Moon came out just before Thanksgiving and it didn’t have any solid competition until the Christmas movies started coming out-Avatar,Sherlock Holmes and Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. Let’s not forget the bigger picture here,the movie is on it’s way to reach half a billion and it hasn’t come out in the other countries yet. So it will probably be in the top five for the end of the year.

Ok, my arm is twisted. I guess I’ll take one for the team (Switzerland that is) and go see Eclipse for the 3rd time. I guess I’ll just FORCE myself…. I may even go crazy and see it a 4th time.

I hated, hated, hated that last scene so much. Not only was it a major change to the story (and everytime I hear MR talk about how that’s the “most important thing to be true to the basic story I want to puke) it was clumsy. When Bella starts her little speech, she rises to her feet and backs away from Edward (rises above and away from him!!!!) and then humiliates him by telling him “No, sorry it’s not all about you”. Bullsh_t!!!! ITS ALWAYS BEEN ALL ABOUT EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!! Not only did MR ruin Eclipse for me in so many ways, I am not really looking forward to Breaking Dawn cuz I heard her say that since it is going to be 2 movies, that gives her more opportunity to include more of her own interpretation! I’m actually more excited about Bel Ami and Water For Elephants coming out next year – both of those scripts don’t emasculate the leading man’s character.

So true. I wanted til Friday morning, a 9:45 AM show to see Eclipse. It was almost full, but most of the theater were the Twi-moms (I couldn’t believe the grannies & gramps there too!!) And closet Twi-fans (ya know the ones that tell their friends they don’t like anything Twi-related, but have a pic of Rob or Taylor hidden in their closet – I heard that while in line waiting for the bathroom and again by another set of girls getting popcorn. I was LMAO)

Anyway, it was a much better viewing than New Moon when I went to an 8PM show with tweenies hootin and hollerin every time Jake was shirtless!
