Ohhhhhh! Are they chocolate sparkles? I love me some chocolate sparkles!
Based on what I've read of Twilight so far I really have to give Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson some serious credit. They didn't have much to work with and yet they managed to give Edward and Bella some depth. I must prefer RP's more human Edward and KS's awkward yet somewhat assertive Bella over Meyer's perfect godlike Edward and whiny Bella.
I must admit it is nice to have something to bond with my teenage sister over so perhaps I should thank Meyer for that. Granted that involves both us swooning at the end when Edward asks Bella ,"Isn't it enough to just have a happy life with me?" Something about the tone of his voice and face. Damn you RP for having such a lovely smile as well!

The line that makes me swoon, even though it is rather lol-tastic is the "you better hold on tight, spider monkey" line. It's not the line, it's the way he says it and the smirk on his face. GUH! And yes, they are chocolate sparkles

Saw it this weekend with my little sister, and it was so awesome. Awesomely bad, but awesome nonetheless. I was choking back giggles at so many parts, beginning with the first meeting in the biology class.
The fight scene at the end was genuinely good though, I thought. When James broke her leg I cringed. That was hella cool.

It was good mostly because we couldn't hear all of Bella's mooning over Edward like the books. My theatre laughed a lot. One chick behind me said "creeeeeeeeeepy" when Edward mentioned he'd be watching her sleep for months, which was hilarious. Our entire row started laughing. Overall it was good. I read a review that said that RP added a human aspect to Edward. He didn't come off as so perfect like in the books. I agree with that. And Jasper...poor Jasper. The dude looked contispated the entire time. Hilarious!

I am waiting for someone to see this drunkenly with me. I haven't read the books but have got some idea from here and cleolinda's recaps but it looks made of LULZ. Hence, the drunken viewing. Shoot. We are living in the wrong places! I SHOULD have been drunk to watch this. It would have been 10x more awesome. That being said... Never read the books, but I DID like the movie. Although... Facinelli with the blond hair was just... no. Why didn't they just hire a blond actor or let him keep his hair brown? Gah! Ridic. And, la la la, James was hot and Alice was so cute. Ooh, Jasper DID look like Edward Scissorhands. Bwah. His hair looked like shit, too. What the hell was with all that? That bugged me the most out of EVERYTHING! (Obviously.) Then again, I went in with basically zero expectations. Robert Pattinson looks hotter in motion, I think he photographs in a weird way. And he needs to degrease the hair. Seriously! Before I saw the movie, I kept thinking, "WTF are people going on about how swoon-worthy this guy is?" He is cute, though, and I love the hair.

I really don't get why they seemed so insistent on hiring people with the wrong hair color. Rosalie, Carlisle, and Jasper are all natural brunettes who look like crap as blondes. And even Alice is naturally blonde, although at least she pulls off her dark wig. I refuse to believe there were no hot, blonde models who could handle glaring on cue to pull off Rosalie. And Peter Fac was just awful looking. And I do like him due to being Mr. Kelly Taylor and Mike Dexter, but it was distracting.

Some people look absolutely ridiculous with blond hair and it's like their whole look is screaming "I'm not really blond!" It's distracting.

The actress who played Alice has dark hair in real life--if that's dyed dark, at least it looks good. Nikki Reed looked bad as a blonde, and please, the only reason she is even in the movie is because she and the director are buddy/buddy.

My cinema companions and I would lean in every now and then to quote the Twilight in 15 minutes bits. Hee. "He has a favorite meadow."

Would it have been that big of a deal if Rosalie, Carlisle, and Jasper were not blond in the film? There's nothing to suggest all vampires are blond in Meyer's universe and it doesn't appear their hair color is major plot point. If Catherine Hardwicke thought Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli, and Jackson Rathbone are the best ones for the their parts then fine hire them. But where is it written that just because in the book the characters have blond hair then so do they? Would have the Twilight fans really been that pissed off if Nikki Reed kept her natural hair color?
Now that I think about it, if the film makers were hellbent on having the characters blond, why not make it more of a dirty blond? I think the actors would have looked a lot better with a darker shade of blond.
