If it comforts you, I just saw the movie and when I got my glimpse of the sparkles I loudly said, "That's it? He just looks sweaty."

also, true love was blatant when Bella looked a little turned on at the thought of Edward watching her sleep.

Finally, laughed myself sick when I noticed Jasper even spoke like he was in constant pain.

Found Edward and Carlisle's paleness extremely unattractive. Have accepted the fact that I think all vampires look anemic and like they should be force fed by Molly Weasley.

I agree completely about Edward and Carlisle's paleness. The make-up was horribly done, and maybe that's part of why I fail so much to see why people find either of them attractive.

raz0rgirl, after Edward says he has the skin of a killer, said something like he had the skin of a club kid, and that's the point where I nearly fell out of my seat.

Oh yeah, Jasper speaking made me snicker every time. Just, don't talk, and go flip your bat, and things will be fine, Jazz.

Dare I ask what type of "cameo" SMeyers has? I can't find reference to it anywhere else so far.

Later in the movie, during one of the scenes in the diner (restaurant?), SMeyer is sitting at the counter. I believe she's given a salad. She has dark hair and pale skin and a heart shaped face - she looks a lot like Bella, obvs.

Seriously, does she think she's as awesome as Hitchcock? Really?

Y'all, the sparkling was DISAPPOINTING.

RIGHT? They seemed to be camping it up completely on the rest of the movie; I don't know why the hell they would skimp on the sparkles. The second time he sparkled it was a little better, but I was still disappointed -- as cesario said, "he just looks like he's got a skin condition".

and good god, I almost want to write girl slash.

DO IT. Do it, because the movie seemed to be completely intent on undermining the Mormon heteronormativity (seriously, what the hell was with the scene where Carlisle turned Edward?) with Bella totally toppy and all the gay/poly subtext everywhere.

I agree with cesario, that was far more skin condition than awesome sparkle.

Very true, and an excellent reason for writing fic.

I was so turned off by Edward's stalking and Bella's manipulativeness in the first book that I'm not sure I can watch the movie, unless it's for the lulz. Loved your recap and LOL at Carlisle building himself a sex home!

As for an SMEYER cameo, lord help me. I might barf.

The movie still has tons of the stalking and manipulativeness, unfortunately. Those are the things I really hate in the books, too - well, among many things - and while the movie isn't quite as bad, the problems are still there. However, the lulz are everywhere.

Yeah, who does SMEYER think she is, Hitchcock?

Victoria and Rosalie facing off after James calls Bella a snack was also hot as hell. I may actually have to write fic about them, because, um, wow. Super, super hot.

Do it! Please do it! This would be my hot, hot sex. Victoria was hot as fuck, and seems like she'd be a dirty bitch in all the right ways. And you know there would be major(ly hot) power struggles, because Rose totally wouldn't just submit to her. And ... oh, please, please do it!

Actually, I now have this theory that Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett are a dodgy foursome. This is an awesome theory and makes me want to write the hot, hot sex. No wonder Rosalie is so pissy about Bella coming around, she's distracting Alice and now there's not as much fun girl time.I'm such a fan of this theory. They're all just so hot that after like sixty years living together you know they'd tapped each others shit. Like when Emmett first walked into the cafeteria I was so fucking dazzled by him. How could, Alice, Jasper, Esme, and Carlisle not want to tap it? Edward could ( ... )

Ha, me too! I was sitting there after being dazzled by Emmett, Rosalie, AND Alice thinking, damn, now I'm just like Bella - oh, wait, at least I chose the HOT ONES WHO HAVE SEX!

Like Rose was acting like a jealous GF and it's not because of Edward.

YES! THIS! She was acting like a spurned lover, but over Edward? I think not! Hello, Emmett > Edward. So obviously it was over Alice.
