Oh, yeah, I meant to ask: the Cullens can only play baseball when it storms because the sound of them hitting the ball sounds like lightning? Is that right? Cause that's a stupid reason.
I had no idea Bella doesn't want to get married and only does because she has no spine (well, I didn't know they got married). So, wait. how old are they when they marry/conceive the spawn? So disturbing.

scarlett210 hit the nail on the head when she said that we are never shown any reason for their relationship other than she thinks he's hot and he thinks she smells delicious. SMeyer is the queen of telling, not showing, so...yeah. I think you could also say that they are both lonely, so they need each other. Edward's been single for over a hundred years and the rest of his family is all paired up. Bella's mum sent her away and she's not that close to her dad. I never had a big teen romance, but I've witnessed plenty and I wouldn't say they are initially based on anything more than "I like the way you look and I want to have somebody", but they can become very intense once the two are together.

You're right, people don't always need a good reason to fall in love. Hell, some of the best love stories of all time are based on lust at first sight. Romeo and Juliet didn't have much reason to fall in love other than being young and horny. The difference is that you can actually buy that Romeo and Juliet were totally passionate about each other, whereas Bella and Edward have all the emotional intensity of a wet blanket. Every time I hear a teenage girl (or grown woman) carrying on about Twilight, I have the urge to shake them and say, "You want a REAL love story? Go read Pride & Prejudice."

I listened to the commentary and I guess the director gave RPattz a couple choices and he picked that one.

See, I thought they were in loooove because Edward loved Bella because he couldn't read her mind and thus figured she's deep and soulful (in addition to having lavender scented delicious blood) even though we all know she's boring and shallow. And Bella loves Edward because he's hot and borderline abusive, I mean, protective. But they're both insufferable and deserve each other so no one else will have to put up them.
No dissing the vampire baseball! That scene is pure cinema gold. Right up there with Spirit Fingers for me.

Guise. Guise. I cannot WAIT to see BD. A friend of mine that's a total fangirl just posted on her Facebook, "Stephenie Meyer is a sick and twisted individual. I am scarred for life." Cackle.

I am waiting for some parents group/group of parents to realize that this book/movie involves a)Edward giving his wife a c-section with his teeth b)a a near-adult teenaged boy falling in love with an infant and blowing up.

Someone posted the gif of Jacob imprinting on the baby. Needless to say, I laughed til I cried, composed myself, looked at it again, and nearly pissed myself laughing til I cried again. This? This is what tweens, teens, and emotionally disturbed adult women are losing their shit over? Good lord!

I really just feel sorry for Taylor Lautner. He fought so hard to remain with the series, only for the last book to come out and THAT to happen.
