SO I SAW BREAKING DAWN

[cleolinda]

...and it was pretty much what I expected, everything a Breaking Dawn movie had to be and could not help but be, etc.

I NEED a .gif of the placenta nomming scene.

[cleolinda]

It's just Edward bending down a couple of times and coming up with a bloody mouth, from her POV. Nice sound effects, though.

[profbutters]

Oh, God, just the idea squicks me out. I literally just gagged.

[cleolinda]

Just keep repeating to yourself: IT'S JUST STRAWBERRY JAM AND CREAM CHEESE. Seriously, that's what they said it was. Maybe raspberry, I can't remember. Pick whichever one you never plan on eating ever again.

[ceebeegee]

Hmmm. I've done bloody shoots (I did a film project about Elizabeth Bathory) and the blood we used with the sticky, mint-flavored syrup.

[cleolinda]

Well, the cream cheese was... like... afterbirth... or something. I think they must have wanted to have a textured gore with the jam, based on the results.

I just... I can't even.

I am torn between revulsion and hysterical laughter, and the laughter is winning.

EWWWWWWW.

I am pregnant right now and the entire idea of this scene is really bothering me. I have read the book, and it didn't faze me at the time, but right now, OMgosh. *clutches belly*

[cleolinda]

Yeah, I have more than one friend who's having to take a pass on this one for baby-related reasons.

[angevin2]

...oh god, bagels have been ruined for me forever.

TBH, the Sippy Cup scenes bothered me waaay more than the birth did. I have issues with seeing blood move through tubes and things that aren't triggered by bloody clothes for some reason.

Hell, I am cool with bloodsucking vampires--except for that straw-wielding old lady in that one Doctor Who episode. Something about the straw. *shudder*

It was really hard for me to watch -- harder than it was to read. It's not like they really show anything, but I couldn't stop thinking about what they WEREN'T showing.

[cleolinda]

See, that's what I think was so effective about it--you hear what he's doing (AUGH) and then he comes up COVERED in BLARGH and so you're like, DAMN, what must that look like? My only problem was that you then see her body from overhead, and it's like, a couple of tiny holes in a bloody t-shirt. Come on now, ain't no baby just came out of that.

[supervillainess]

I had to fan-wank that they had just... IDK tugged her hospital gown (?) down over the gaping wound of her abdomen.
