My facebook feed is full of friends going to the midnight showing tonight. I had a friend who could not get into the drive in to see Grownups because it was overrun with Twihards. They were showing a triple feature of the three films on one screen. It might be crap, but it is going to make some money. I've been invited to one of those - I'm still debating whether or not to go. I don't mind the films, they're a bit boring but I can sit through 'em. However, I'm wondering why devote almost half a day to something that gets a 'eh, it's OK' reaction from me?

Someone please tell me - did Eclipse take out the part where Quil imprints on Claire? Yes. Not even a mention. Jacob explained imprinting to Bella, but he failed to mention that they sometimes did it on, I don't know, BABIES AND TODDLERS.

I hate myself for asking, but what or who is Quil?

I hate myself for asking, but what or who is Quil? One of Jacob's friends and fellow werewolf. He doesn't play a huge role (and if they take out the imprinting, he's just another wolfboy). If it gets miserably hot here this weekend, I might go see it. It's better than the second film at the theater, Jonah Hex.

Now I'm really worried that they'll take out Jacob imprinting on Reneswhatever, too, which is the most lulzy part of Breaking Dawn.

There is a rumor they're taking that out, as well as toning down the delivery scene. I'm glad they are, only becuase Stephenie Meyer is a producer on Breaking Dawn and I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they explain that to her. She seems to see nothing wrong with the imprinting senario.

Take out the horrific birth and then pedoprinting and you take away just about the only 2 plots BD has. The book is beyond ridiculous, but if they are making it into 2 movies, they have to fill it with something and those are pretty much the most interesting parts of the book. There's pretty much nothing else that happens that is of any consequence.
The fans are going to see it no matter how insane the plot actually is, they might as well be faithful and go balls to the wall.

I heard that she deliberately borrowed from a classic text for each of her books and that Breaking Dawn was based on a Midsummer Night's Dream. From that, I took that the events in Breaking Dawn were supposed to be a bit silly.

From the excerpts I've read in Cleo's recaps, I seriously doubt that Stephenie is some kind of secret classics scholar. I know I've read interviews where she has defended the imprinting thing hardcore against those who have pointed out its ickiness. Meanwhile, the massive success of Eclipse so far has caused Summit to offer up a metric fuck-ton of money to the actors for Breaking Dawn (parts 1 and 2) - Sullen Twitchgirl, Sparkles McFangy and Abstastic Wolfboy are each getting $25 million a piece (plus a percentage of the gross). I hope Kristen uses this paycheck to buy some fricking acting lessons - and maybe a prescription for Xanax for when she has to do talk show appearances.

From your fingertips to God's inbox, Huntergrayson.
I saw the movie today and it's definitely the most watchable of the movies thus far. David Slade did the best he could and I am curious to know what his original edit looked like before Summit intervened.
