It’s official.

Over the weekend Gossip Cop reported box office estimates, but now the numbers are final. Sources at Summit Entertainment tell us “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” grossed an astonishing $142.8 million over its first three days, for a $35,497 average on 4,024 screens.

Despite the tremendous numbers, a spokesman for Summit says there’s “no announcement planned” for a potential “Breaking Dawn” production.

~hugs~ My brothers! I've missed you guys! So great of both of you to stop by and express your thoughts! <3

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't been around! I've been super busy. Just saw the movie yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it! My boyfriend surprisingly LOVED it and thought it was better than the first. I initially thought he might vomit from all the lovely dovey i hate you/i love you-ness from the book/movie.

They did a GREAT job in turning this novel into a movie. The parts they cut out were seamless and you wouldn't be able to tell unless you read the book a million times (hello! <-- LOL).

Spoiler:
SPOILERS BELOW:

My only complaint was her dream sequence.. my boyfriend got confused and didn't understand why she screamed every night. I had to tell him how every night she feels emptiness and doesn't know where she is.. .and her recollection of the night she was found by Sam.

The ending with the marriage proposal was genius LOL.. people were like "WHAT?!?!?!"


I also think Kristen and Taylor's acting improved too. Kristen gave Bella SOME spunk (which is funny because this novel is the most depressing out of the 4). She made me laugh at some times (with her interactions with Jacob).

P.S. I'm still pissed that they recasted Eclipse. BLAH!


Spoiler:
LOL I was pretty floored at the ending myself, I was like WTF? That's the ending they choose? But when I thought about it, it was a pretty good ending!
Don't even get me started on the whole recasting of Victoria, I was not pleased! But yeah, at least they weren't stupid enough to can Taylor! He really held this movie!
Loved it!

Ok i saw the movie the other day with my sister and thought they did a really good job, way better than they did with twilight.

Spoiler:
I think the did a great job with the transformations of the wolves and the and the action scenes, they didnt look lame like i expected. Also they did a great job with time dilation of the months just going by when Bella was a zombie i just wish they did a better job explaining to the audience how bella was just going thru the motions. of living. Also they didnt need to add that bit at the end where Edward fights. though it didnt detract from the plot. Also Kristin did a much better job. Im very excited about eclipse now, its to bad they are replacing victoria since she did a great job.


Spoiler:
The whole months thing made me Dizzy! But it was a good effect. Kristen played depressed really well. Then again it's the easiest emotion to play:P lol
Definitely better then the last. Lets see how they made my favorite book- Eclipse better be gooooood!

i <3 SNOW!!
i saw the movie on the 20th (not @ midnight) and i thought it was AMAZING!! and Kristen actually SMILED!! she showed EMOTION!! ~shocked~
some other things i noticed:
Spoiler:
~the wolves where HUGE! a whole lot bigger than i pictured, but the computer animation was really good!
~some scenes (like when Bella was laying in the forest, and the 3 month time passing scenes) might make people who get motion sickness sick, but the 3 month one was a nice effect
~the Eclipse poster in the lobby of the theater (random, but still relavent)
~Kristen's acting was a little better, and it helped that she really just had to be depressed the whole time
~Alice's "vision" was really funny, the entire theater was ether laughing or confused, i think they just should have used the vision from MS
~the scene in Volterra, in the elevator... the random elevator music was kinda... ok, really funny, that was another scene where the entire theater was laughing


i want to see it again!! but i can't over thanksgiving :( maybe next weekend (hopefully)

oh, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! ~dinner~

~muha~ Bet your all just DYING to hear what I thought, huh?

Spoiler:
A HELL of a lot beter then Twilight...Still wasn't completely happy...But who'd expect that of me? especially considering Just about everyone of my favorite characters were portrayed by people I completely despised and thought they were the fugliest things I've ever seen in my life for vampires who were supposed to be "beautiful"
You all knew that opinion already I suppose so...some things I didn't like.
~The spinning in the forest...I was tilting my head and getting dizzy looking at the screen..I'm the one in my family who has to take meds to keep from getting seasick, and even that sometimes doesn't work.
~The dream and Kristen's screaming. I think they should have showed us the dream, so that people weren't so confused, at least in the first night we saw her asleep. The screaming made me think she was Pissed or annoyed, not depressed...It sounded like me screaming at my brother because he's purposfully making me mad...not that I've had my heart broken and feel like I can't live without someone, and yet I've lost them forever..
~the fact that Edward showed up when she was doing something reckless....Yes, I know we had forewarning about it, but it still pisses me off because it completely ruined the Suspense build up.
~Alice's Vision. there were numerous things i didn't like..#1 Bella didn't look any different as a vampire, exept for the eyes...#2, Alice deffinatly could NOT have picked out that dress Bella was wearing..It was Putrid. Oh I hated Edwards outfit as well. Sweater vest? Wtf?
~Aro's and Caius' Hair color. I Thought Aro was supposed to be the one with white hair? But they did do a good job at playing the characters.
~bella getting on the motorcycle with that guy. Just wrong...I had popcorn in my hand and was trying to figure out if i could throw it without hitting anyone, since i wasn't TOO far from the front.
~Fight scene in Volterra, this is also in what I liked. The way Kristen presents herself, with a hard tough kind of facial expression...it seems as if she's incapable of showing fear.
~she didn't go to the cullens house. It didn't happen, it made me mad. I looked forward to seeing that scene.
~Lawrence. He's pissed me off in general since his character was casted..I'm not racist, or ANYTHING of that sort, but as i see it, vampires are supposed to loose ALL pigmentation when they transform, and the color of his skin, he doesn't fit the role of vampire to me...it hought it said he was supposed to be pale?
~You couldn't tell that Aro, Caius, and Marcus' skin was flaky..It looked fairly normal.
~Caisus Just sat there. Point blank, He didn't intimidate me. As i see it, he was supposed to be very intimidating, and yet he barely said anything..While when he did say something it gave you a sense of finality, I think if he stood, it would have had a greater impact

Some things I did like.
~The wolves...Wolves and owls are my favorite animals, and i think they really did a good job on the transition from human, to wolf, and the wolf themselves. Big paws, The size of a horse, they nailed it. (By the way I'm riding horses now, Fritz, Lord James-eric, and I might be getting my own black quarter horse named Abner.)
~Edwards "Sparkle" while, on the skin, it still looked like glitter, they made rays off of him this time, so it didn't look like they just threw a bucked of glitter on him, and said done. All-in-all, the special effects were much better.
~the vampires running, you could actually SEE their speed in this movie, it was fanomicall
~there was NO spider man, like tree climbing! I thought the tree thing in twilight was the most ridiculous thing i had ever seen in my life. So i was glad i didn't have to see it again.
~Kristen's acting after the fight scene...When she was asking them to kill her instead, the emotion was portrayed well enough for me to overlook how much i do not like Kristen...for once.
~Marcus. I liked him, his voice kinda made it so you could tell he didn't speak often, He just kinda sat there, and did a very good job as showing that he was supposed to look bored and uninterested.

One thing I have Mutual feelings about.
~The end. I personally liked the "'if you want me to be the one-then you'll just have to meet one condition.'...'marry me first.'
'okay whats the punch line?'
he sighed 'you're wounding my ego, Bella. i just proposed to you, and you think its a joke.'" Part in new moon page 540, so i wish they would have continued on with the proposal...but i understand that they Probably wanted to creat suspense and make it so that People would be more apt to want to see eclipse.

So it was better then Twilight ( ~yucky~ )
Too bad I couldn't keep obscene comments on some of the lines and obscene gestures towards the screen at certain points (like the preview for some new movie with rob in it) to a minimum...Though it was a bit better then last time...I still almost threw popcorn at the screen, i don't remember which part though.

So...Who's suprised on my input?

i have a question... did anyone else notice that Edward had BLACK Volvo instead of SILVER?? how hard is it to get Silver?? (ranting slightly)
and another thing having to do with Edward's Volvo, according to the book he has an SR 60 right?
when i type in "Silver Volvo SR 60" this is what i get:
Image

dose that look like ether Volvo used? ether in Twilight or NM? how hard is it to call a Volvo dealer (or the company) and say "hey, im making a movie called Twilight and one of the characters drives a Silver Volvo SR 60, is there any was you could get me one to use in the movie?"

is that really that hard??

(sorry about the rant, it just annoys me that with all the things that are changed between book and movie they could at the very least they could get something as small as the car color/make/model right! geze!!)


il shut up now...

i <3 SNOW!!
today in my German class the girl behind me wore her Team Edward shirt, and the boy across the isle from us wore a Team Jacob shirt, so of course an argument developed (between me, the girl behind me, and her best friend vs. this guy), and it turns out the boy hadn't even read the books, he just saw NM, so we where basically arguing movie vs book, because the Team Edward people where bringing stuff from the book up, and he was just going by what he had seen in the movie... and the teacher just laughed at us, for like 10 min... i love that class! in most other classes we would have gotten yelled at for talking in the middle of class... but anyway, it was an interesting day (and Wick's BK ad reminded me of that little story)
