Just saw Twilight!

I know several of you have already seen it, but WOW!  I really liked it alot!  I mean, it wasn't AS good as the book (they never are IMO) but it was still really good!  I was disappointed that so many things were left out and everything seemed rushed, but I guess you can only fit so much into 2 hours.  I was also surprised that it ended so differently from the book.  It did make me excited to read New Moon though.  (Oh, thank you so much Jessica for letting me borrow the next 2 books!  I really appreciate it and will return them to you or give them to Leah as soon as I'm done.)  Anyway, my 9 year old saw it with me and loved it too.  She did get scared during that one part and looked away, but she really enjoyed it.

    It was definitely FABULOUS!! I just got back from seeing it again, LOL.  I was a little disappointed in the meadow scene, yet the baseball scene blew me away, I was amazed!!!  Then the ballet studio scene was great too.  I just can't believe how true they stayed to the book.  Some of the stuff they left out really could've been added, yet I still really enjoyed it. Glad you liked it.

    Ya know the part in the book where Bella is at the Cullens house and gets cut and Edwards brother goes after her and Edward jumps to protect her and the bro about loses it over the smell of her blood?  I wanted that to be in the movie.  And, yeah, the meadow scene could have been much juicier!  However, I was kinda glad it wasn't b/c my daughter was watching it with me and that is a very awkward position to be in!  LOL!  I covered her eyes when Bella was in her panties in bed and Edward kissed her for the first time!  OMG!  I mean, it wasn't THAT bad or anything....just VERY passionate!  I mean, it seriously made my heart race!  I officially want to date a Vampire now!  LOL!

    The part about Bella being at the Cullens and cutting herself and Jasper losing it is actually in New Moon.  They just previewed the first chapter of New Moon in Twilight.  I'm sure it'll be in the New Moon movie.  

    I too was disappointed with the meadow scene.  And I also felt like the romance was rushed.  I mean their romance is very passionate in the book...I wished they had worked on that more.  But I did like the movie but totally agree with you Monica that the book is better.

    I agree with y'all. I'm going to have to reread New Moon so i don't get things mixed up. The book was better but with the small budget they had I think they did what they could. I can't wait for New Moon (movie)!!!!!

    I was hoping to go see it this weekend.  I just bought the book on Monday and I'm only over 100 pages into it.  I just finished the chapter last night where Bella meets Jacob at the beach.  I am really enjoying the book, but I'm not sure if I'll be done with it by Friday. lol
    Siggy coming soon....

    Oh man!  You're right!  I'm about 1/4 of the way into New Moon.  I guess everything is running together!  LOL!
