Clearly I need to write a strongly worded letter.

Wow, total douchebag. I mean, I realize with such lofty credentials as "Sporpion King 2" it must be easy to think highly of yourself, but... I love the way he's all "Oh, people say I look like Taylor" and "I know Rob." That's only topped by the chest-puffing proclamation about not having to audition for "CSI:Miami." Seriously, there's not enough money in Summit's budget for a trailer big enough to house this guy's ego.

Personally, I just loved it when he bragged about how more muscular he is than Lautner and how he's at the top of Summit's list of Jacob picks. A few days ago my only opinion of this guy was that he seemed a bit dim. Now, I think he's dim and prick. Nice job there Copon!

He's acting like it was Taylor's fault that Jacob was so 1-dimensional. Not a lot of Jacob was brought to the first film because the studio made it that way. It wasn't Taylor's problem. I'm not saying that Taylor is another Johnny Depp or anything, but Copon acting as if he could do so much better (in terms of acting...he obviously does have a leg up when it comes to being muscular and olrder) is so arrogant. And probably wrong.

Obviously he hasn't read the book. Ass.

Total utter douchebag. When they asked him if he needed to bulk up, why did I picture Kenny Bana (from Seinfeld) saying, "Look at me. I'm huge."
And I love how he said that Taylor played Jacob so one-dimensional when the character's a hundred different colors (and just TRUST that he'll play it that way, no need to audition him), but then asked if he's read the books, answers: Since SMeyer created basically a two-tone character with Jacob (and in case you didn't catch it, she usually tells you whether it's Bella's good Jacob, or Sam's evil Jacob that's strutting his stuff on the page), is it possible that the Cliff Notes versions somehow gave him more dimensions? Otherwise, I'm forced to believe that this Michael Copon is blowing a bunch of hot air, which is okay, since I got that from the other 90% of his interview anyway.
At least RPattz had the decency to read the books and still ask SMeyer what the hell his character was thinking.
Team Lautner all the way!!

I'd rather have Lautner keep the role. He seems like a nice kid and he seems to be working hard to keep the part rather than taking it for granted. This makes him more sympathetic to him.
I don't have anything against Lautner other than that I don't see him as a viable romantic interest for Kristen Stewart. I didn't find the acting bad however (though I can't even remember seeing much of him to judge; I just remember him talking about something the vampires did and that was about it. Did any of the other actors besides Bella and Edward get much dialogue?). My only problem with Lautner is seeing him as a romantic interest for her if that's the direction they wish to take the character in. HOWEVER, because of the chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison, I can't see ANYONE being a viable romantic interest for her. So based on that I think the original actor should keep the role.
I just want Edward and Bella to be together. Yeah, there isn't much to the story but the actors look good together (Rob Pattison is so handsome) and even with the bad dialogue I can see something between them. So if I can stare at two actors who can generate heat with each amidst some dumb dialogue then I guess that's all I need. After seeing the first movie and the lack of story there I guess my expectations aren't that high except where the romance between Bella and Edward are concerned.

I don't like TL, but I do agree with this. It makes me wonder: if Summit really isn't going to audition Mr. Cliff Notes (seriously? Dude, you would've been better off saying you hadn't had a chance to read them yet as you've been too busy prepping for your big CSI role then to use the Cliff Notes reasoning--makes you sound even more dick-ish), are they just hiring him because he's the right physical type and the "romance" between Bella and Jacob is going to be way toned down? Because, man, Kristen Stewart is kind of a surly bitch and this guy sounds like the exact type she talked about hating when they came in to read for Edward.
