I thoroughly agree with you! Melissa seems to have a thing for “girl power” or something. I am all for empowering my daughter and teaching her she is a man’s equal etc etc etc but Melissa didn’t write these books and she’s changed some of the most bizarre things to me all in he name of empowering women. I understand she’s adapting the books into film but what was the REAL purpose of having Angela be the valedictorian? There’re just several little things such as that, that truly boggle me. It would’ve taken no more screen time to leave it as written, but it wouldn’t have put a girl in the power seat which is Melissa’s big deal. Blah! Adapt the books to screen by making them fit but don’t go changing things for your own personal agenda. That’s just my opinion.

agree. just like the lovemaking parts it was wrote with class, just like in the OLD DAYS when on movies/tv/soaps it would show couples walking towards the bedroom etc. we knew what was going to happen we DID NOT NEED TO SEE IT.

that was Jacob’s story. I think they can tell the story by the book and it will be OK. hope BD will be better than Eclipse.

Well first of all it is the amniotic sac as James mentioned and two. They don’t need to show Edward biting the amniotic sac. They could just show Edward bending to make they bite just so people who have not read the books can get the concept and then focusing on Bella or Jacob. I know the birthing scene is not easy to handle. Heck, it even grossed me out but I think they should try and stick to it as close as possible.

Um, what do you think is her personal philosophy? I’ve seen a lot of scenes that didn’t make it into the movies from the books, but I haven’t detected a message in the movies that wasn’t in the books.

“i don’t wanna see rob pattinson ripping the umbilical chord out of bella like a chew toy…”

I know I’m in a minority of one, but I totally wish we could see this: Edward frantically working to save Bella’s life, rips out his own child with his mouth then injects the mother in her heart. Heavy stuff! But we always knew Breaking Dawn wouldn’t be R-rated – oh well!

James, with the pregnancy Bella had, what kind of birth were you expecting? I thought it was ingenious of Stephenie Meyer to write true women’s horror – having your fetus overpower you IS a fear of many parous women. Yes it’s creepy and disturbing, but it’s supposed to be; like all good horror, it’s a voice for our innermost fears. But I don’t think viewers will confuse Bella’s experience with a “What to Expect” pregnancy.

Wow. I say give Melissa a break. Of course she’s read the books. She’s probably digested them more than anyone can imagine. I can’t believe people are ghetto enough to ask her such a question. She’s done an incredible job with all three movies so far, and she’ll do a wonderful job w/ BD, along with Stephenie’s guidance as always. I think it’s disrespectful to assume either Melissa or Stephenie won’t handle this movie(s) with class. They are the professionals and that’s why THEY are doing the job. Of course not everyone will be happy with everything; that’s what happens when a book is translated into a movie. It takes so much more than on person’s opinion. It takes give-and-take and compromise.

BTW, who are the gazillionares because they know what they’re doing? Oh yeah, Melissa and Stephenie are.

I totally and completely agree with you. I sometimes wonder if she even cares what the fans think.
