Jacob did something that is very serious: blackmailed her. Can't stand being done that. And both of them made stupid promisses that they couldn't keep. Jacob promissed that he'd never hurt Bella (duh!) and that's something you just can't promisse to anyone. And Edward made the same kinda promisse AND said that he would never leave her. I think these books can teach us something and one of the things is definitely don't trust men. I have to agree with that one
I also think that Bella can be utterly boring through the story. I'm really afraid to see the movie, especially after seeing that small clip in the penelope DVD because that actress is really turning not so promissing to me. The way she says "I can't dance" with that look on her face like she was saying "you stink!". Really, she's only 18 for pete's sake! How come she got so coky?? I want to slap her after seeing that. She has the same face on every single scene that I got a glimpse at. She better not mess this or she'll have an entire community of harcore twilighters after her
What do you think about the fact that Robert Pattinson is writting Bella's lullaby? (supposedly) He has a band... I think I would love the guy if only I got his jokes...I'm so immune to most of british humour
Lets see, Edward dislikes the 60s (-1) but prefers brunettes (+1) so it evens out
Don't trust men. I like that haha. No one is innocent in the books. Everyone hurts someone. I mean, Edward obviously hurts Bella and Jacob does the same, but Bella leads Jacob on and I guess thats where I give sympathy to him. I generally didn't like how he wouldn't give up because I just wanted Edward and Bella to be together. I know alot of people think thats cute, but I found it annoying. But if Bella can't make up her damn mind then I do feel bad for both of them, but mostly Jacob, for obvious reasons.
Yeah I'm a little nervous about the movie too. I'm much more excited for Breaking Dawn then the movie. I guess we will just have to go into it with no expectations and either be pleasantly suprised or disappointed. And I like the way the British talk
I haven't seen the scene from Penelope yet, but I've seen a few short little clips on youtube and stuff, and there's parts of Kristen Stewart that I'm not sure about, either. I don't like the way she says things sometimes, or her facial expressions.
I never really had an idea of what I thought the lullaby would sound like, so I don't really care so much, as long as it sounds pretty.
lulla belle - Hanson
(Ignore Leia
The reason why I don't like Jacobis because of that ktlou, it's just sooo anyoing when someone insists...It's just so much like reallity when you say "NO!!!" a thousand times to a guy and he still thinks that secretlly you're saying "yes!". I don't like to read about reallity
Also love the british when they talk (sooo sexy
Rebekker, through the hole clip the girl makes the same face as she says "I can't dance" or "I'm not afraid of you". Wasn't there anyone ELSE in the intire hollywood world that was available for the part????
Although the main character has really disapointed me, the sets and the enviorments of the movie are great! Bella's car for example is exactlly how I imagined it, the same with Edward's Volvo and his room etc...
and I don't think his being British has anything to do with his having an odd sense of humor, haha. I watch tons of British stuff, so I'm pretty sure it's just him
The thing is, even though I like Jacob more than Edward, I don't necessarily think he's better for Bella than Edward is. I think they're about even in that regard, but I like Jacob's character better. meh.
Also, I think most, if not all, of the mistakes Jacob makes throughout the novel can be related directly back to his maturity level.
I really hope Breaking Dawn doesn't cop out on the whole love triangle thing... like, if Jacob just imprinted on someone else and the whole problem went away, that would be a really sucky solution. I want to see a real, emotional resolution to all this.
for some reason ever since reading Eclipse Ive had this nagging feeling what if Bella turns out to be Jacob's mate, but because Bella has been around Edward and the gang so much she starts smelling like the vamps it threw off him off....
That stinks. Well I hope she isn't completely awful during the whole movie. It's probably unlikely, thought, that the only few scenes or clips that we've seen are the bad ones and all the other ones are good. But I can hope that as a whole, she does ok.
I agree. I like the whole love triangle part. And it would be really lame if Jacob imprinting on someone just solved everything. Plus, I really love the parts where Edward and Jacob fight about Bella. Like when Bella hurt her wrist and Edward came to pick her up and Jacob and Edward argued.
By the way, that's an interesting theory, CrashandBurn.

if that happens, I'll probably be miserable
At the same time, the love traingle breaks the monotony because if it was just Bella and Edward over and over it would be so boring....
And that scene after her breaking the wrist really was awesome, I felt the hair on the back of my neck getting up with the excitment...two guys arguing about you is just someting...
Right! I love that part about him. And when it said that Bella could hear the engine speeding up on the phone when she told him that Jacob kissed her. And he ended up fighting over her with Jacob. I loved it
I LOVED that part! Jacob's cockiness and Edward's jealousy ha. I really just love the way Stephenie Meyers writes.
HP and Twilight can coexist very peacefully (I saw that line in my skimming) - they're completely different books read for completely different reasons. Like I told my Dad to read Harry Potter for the touching story and fantastic alternate world, but would I tell him to read Twilight? F**K no!
I would, however, highly recommend this book to my Sister, My Sissie-in-law, and my Partner-in-Crime. Girls. Edward Smirks. A Lot.

oooh so sorry about the spoilers Rachel!! I'll be more carefull
But I do feel the same way abour twilight/harry potter. It's defenitly a diferent book, harry potter can be read by anyone, twilight has some intense moments...
I admire you so much for the self control of reading only twilight
So anyway, I woke up this morning realizing that one of my favorite JP Jones songs fits the plotline PERFECTLY - it's almost as though he read the book and changed the name!!!
Simone, by JP Jones
We could take our time
Live out simple lives
Not be rushed by anyone
I'd put diamonds in your eyes
Hold your hand in mine
Not be fussed by anyone
Send the wolves out of this picture
They'll only scratch and they'll bite you
You gotta trust me love
Oh, How those eyes look
How they miss you
I've got a lifetime of the blues
I would build a bridge
With my fingertips
Build a house here where you stand
Well you've got your hands to grip
So hold me, grab me quick
You don't need no other man
Send the wolves out of this picture
They'll only scratch and they'll bite you
You gotta trust me love
Oh, How those eyes look
How they missed you
I've got a lifetime of the blues
I got drunk, I got stoned
I got a family at home that I love,
I love, I love, I love, Oh!
But I ain't got you.
So come home, Simone, come home.
Come home Simone, come home.
What you doin' on your own?
Come home Simone, come home
Come home Simone, come home
What you doin' on your own?
All these places we've got to go;
So much I've got to show you
What you doin' out there on your own?
Oh, how those eyes look
How they missed you
I've got a lifetime of the blues
I got drunk, I got stoned
I got a family at home that I love
I love, I love, I love, Oh!
But I ain't got you.
SEEEE? Am I right? As if I didn't love JP/this song enough already!!!
And sorry about the spoilers. At first I tried to be careful, but then all of us were discussing different parts of the books. And then I kinda figured since this thread is all about the book then people would know the possibility of getting spoiled if they read this before the book. But I can put a warning before the spoiler or something so people don't read it and get spoiled
It has been released a new trailer and more scenes of the filme. I'm starting to think that if I take the time to ensemble all that has been released I'll have the full movie on my hands pretty soon
about the book twilight:
I can't wait to see one scene in particular: The scene that shows Edward in the sun for the first time!
Oh has anyone been watching the set in MTV news: twilight tuesday?? And have you seen the Breaking Dawn quotes of the day in Stephenie Meyer's homepage?
But I've seen the quotes of the day on stephenie meyer's site. I'm still not sure if I want to read them though, they make me think too much
Rebekker, have you heard Robet singing????Robert Pattinson
I know it's not his name in the tittle but it's him...
He sounds like paolo nuttini?
Oh and this is just him messing around with his guitar...what would it be like if he really was trying??
And,
YUM.
