New New Moon Movie update, on the side.

so darn funny

On TwilightGuy.com, he was talking about giving away autographed posters from Taylor Lautner (Jacob) and Robert Pattinson (Edward). I found it funny the way he described the posters...






















Taylor Lautner offers you flowers... While Robert Pattinson offers you a cold stare.

what did i do this weekend? read on

For the annual Young Women's retreat this year for our ward, we all slept over at the J.W. Marriott Villas and the next day did a photo shoot. If you are capable of sight, you've seen my fave picture of me from this photo shoot right when you popped my blog up. It's the first thing you see. Sis Biesinger donated her time to take pictures of us with her super awesome camera. :) You should have seen her; she was in her element. Sister VanBuskirk brought her Wii and this awesome game... I think it was called Samba Samba. What you do on the game is kind of like DDR - but with maracas! We had a blast! I got 4 hours of sleep that night... Thanks for waking me up at 5:30 to watch TV, Sierra!! We hung out in the pool and Jacuzzi (which was right next to our rooms) and talked. It was Mexican-themed. We had pork and bean tacos for dinner, with nachos and chips & salsa for snacking. We planned future activities - can't wait to do those! :) I can't wait until next year!!

a good laugh for all you twilighters who hated the movie

My friend Eden (www.eden4eva.blogspot.com) gave a perfect description of a rather "dramatic" part of the Twilight movie that made me laugh out loud, and I quote:

"I have killed people before, and I want to kill you. Every moment of the day I want to kill you!" said Edward in a freaky whisper. "I don't care" said Bella stupidly as her teeth hang out. "You need to see what I look like in the sun!" he yells. He swings her onto his back and runs up he mountain, even though you can see his legs flailing behind him. Then they are on top of the mountain. Not even in the meadows like they are supposed to be, instead they are in the mountains. So anyways...He unbuttons his shirt and walks into the sun. He turns around, his skin looks greasy, like someone smeared Vaseline all over him. "This is the skin of a killer Bella" "You're beautiful" she murmurs stupidly like an idiot.

And, Eden, you copied me so that is why I copied you!

And apparently the thing about Vanessa Hudgens auditioning for New Moon could be a rumor. They are unsure if the actress who played Rosalie was high on drugs or not when she gave the news.

SCCRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my belated thoughts on the Twilight movie

Guess who's auditioning for the part of Leah Clearwater in New Moon? Hmm, let's look at the picture. That's whats-her-face... oh wait, that's Miss Disney, VANESSA HUDGENS!!!!!! I, for one, think she is too much of a Miss Disney to play a role in a freakin vampire/werewolf movie as a WEREWOLF!!! This is NOT GOOD.... She does not look like a Leah. I imagined Leah as stick thin, awkward, tall, and with caramel-colored hair. Here is what People.com said in the article called "Vanessa Hudgens Auditions for Twilight Sequel New Moon":

"Now here's a role Vanessa Hudgens would like to sink her teeth into. The High School Musical star has auditioned for the part of werewolf Leah Clearwater in the Twilight sequel New Moon, according to Ashley Green, who played Alice in Twilight."I think she'd be great," Greene tells MTV. As Leah, Hudgens, 20, would be a foil to Taylor Lautner, who will reprise his role as werewolf Jacob Black. In the Stephenie Meyer novels, Leah is her pack's lone female werewolf – and a jilted one, at that. Unlike Hudgens's Gabriella in HSM, Leah experiences heartbreak, being ditched by classmate (and fellow werewolf) Sam Uley."

Inside my head I am screaming. Why are the castings letting me down??? First, Taylor Lautner. Then, Kirsten Stewart. Now, Vanessa Hudgens. What is the vampire/werewolf world coming to?? I don't even think I'll watch the sequel now.... Okay, fine, you got me. I can't stay away, no matter how much I hate the actors and actresses.

If you don't want to hear me complain about the Twilight movie, please skip ahead.

I'm going to complain about Kirsten Stewart in Twilight. What was WITH her and her giant teeth hanging out of her mouth the whole time?? (See http://www.freewebs.com/twilight01234/Kristen%20stewart.jpg for pic.) The entire movie, she was sitting there with her buck teeth, looking totally awkward with no makeup and bad hair. Did the movie not get enough money to get hairstylists and makeup artists? Obviously not, because Alice, Rosalie, and Esme looked stunning. Even Rob Pattinson looked great with a tousled handsome classic look.

Now, for one, the movie was totally rushed. Here's how it goes: They meet at school. Edward goes missing for about 3 days. He comes back, totally friendly - "Oh Bella let's be best buddies!" - and invites her over. They meet his family. They climb trees. They talk in the woods. Now here's the rushed part - "I'm a vampire, blah blah blah. Are you scared?" In a breathy voice I'm sure she meant to be attractive in some misguided way, Bella replies: "I'm only afraid of losing you." Now, how could that be? You've only been with him for about 2 hours your whole entire life. Liar liar pants on fire. You're only afraid scary Edward will gobble you up if you say the wrong thing, Bella.

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love the books. The movie was just... disappointing. Not the movie. Just the bad acting. Rob Pattinson did his share of bad acting too, you know. The whole movie he looked awkward, uncertain and uncomfortable. Edward is supposed to be perfect, graceful, comfortable, and able to withstand almost everything. Movie-Edward is the exact opposite.

All right, I should probably stop now before I go too far. Please, please, PLEASE comment and tell me your thoughts about the Twilight movie and how you feel about Vanessa Hudgens in New Moon. As it says on the top of my blog, I love to hear from you!!

P.S. Okay, okay, I know in my last post I promised to put anything Twilight related in the side text box about Twilight. Sheesh, don't be judgmental. I cheated, okay??

twilight-related updates

Just to let you guys know, on the side I have started a new thing with updates about the New Moon movie and Midnight Sun, the book of Twilight from Edward's point of view. That way all of the Twilight news won't crowd my actual blog (just the side of it). :D Now you can be sure everything in my blog is all about me and not about my obsession with Twilight!!

"Taylor Lautner May Keep Role In Twilight Sequel"

""You can't keep a good shape shifter down.

Taylor Lautner could reprise his role as Jacob Black in the Twilight sequel New Moon, Entertainment Weekly reports. Summit Entertainment is expected to announce its decision as early as this week for the next film based on Stephenie Meyer's vampire series. A decision that will make many Twilight – as well as the Lautner, 16 – very happy.

"Jacob is a totally different character in New Moon," Melissa Rosenberg, screenwriter of both Twilight films, tells EW. "He's a foot taller and huge – and he's supposed to look 25. It's really a question of whether or not the same actor can play the role."

Even Lautner recognizes the difference in his character and told MTV last month he had been working out he enough to gain 19 lbs. and had 10 to go! Kristen Stewart, 18, is set to return as Bella Swan, and Robert Pattinson, 22, will definitely be her hunky vampire love interest, Edward Cullen.

The sequel will be directed by Chris Weitz and released Nov. 20, 2009. In a recent PEOPLE poll, readers overwhelmingly chose Lautner to stay on rather than be replaced by Michael Copon, 26, in the more mature role. Rosenberg adds, "'Everyone would love to keep him. We all think he's the loveliest person ever." ""

All I have to say is... Yuck!! Get rid of Lautner! He can't pull off the mature Jacob!
