Yeah, no actor is really going to be able to compete with Robert Pattinson's looks and the chemistry he has with Kristen Stewart. The chemistry between RP and KS is one thing the first film got right. Might as well let Lautner keep the part and ignore SM's descriptions of the werewolves or just have stand on a crate during certain scenes. Hey, standing on crates worked for The Lord of the Rings!
I know but it's been said before but I'm going to say it again. They should just drop the idea of Bella falling in love with Jacob. Sure have them become closer and Bella can come to care more about Jacob. Caring more about him does not equal falling in love with him. Perhaps Bella can consider settling for Jacob since she can't have Edward (though this would make her look like a jerk) but I don't see myself buying Bella is in love with Jacob and Edward. Seriously, Chris Weitz! Ignore Stephanie when she insists Bella did fall in love with Jacob! Bella did not!

Er, I love Rpattz and his obvious hatred of the books, but am I the only one who thinks he isn't THAT good looking? I suppose it's all about the angles with him. Sometimes he looks really handsome, but most of the time... I thought he was better looking as Cedric I also didn't feel that Kristen and Robert's chemistry was that amazing, for all the hype about it. Yes, the kiss was hot, but apart from that, I didn't see anything special. The Jacob thing is a lose-lose situation. Even if Summit was unsure about the possibility of sequels, a Native American actor should have been cast. End of story. It's actually important to the plot. I feel bad for Lautner. If they're looking for someone who can compete with Edward, well, this isn't really going to cut it. I can't take him seriously in his stupid wig.

Cliff Notes? In other words, he read it on Wiki?
I hope KStew makes them not cast him. That'd knock the wind out of his sails (or whatever).
Oh, for crying out loud. Did SMeyer say that Bella fell in love with Jacob after she wrote the books? Because it was really clear that, although Bella loved Jacob, she wasn't in love with him. I remember Bella telling herself that maybe she SHOULD try things out with him, but it was only to make him happy and so she could have a normal life and blah blah blah.
I'm sure the fan girls are up in arms about recasting Lautner. I've seen so much crap about how cute he is and "Team Jacob!" I can't imagine that once they've seen this kid in the role they'd cotton to someone else quickly. I'm, uh, Team Lautner. Bulk up, stand on a box, and let him be the sixteen year old Jacob's supposed to be.
I don't know why this irritates me so much, but it does. Heh.
Oh, and the wig BS bothers me. It's a big deal that Jacob cuts his hair, because that means he's been "assimilated," or whatever Bella thinks happens when he joins Team Sam. So, he won't have to wear the wig again. Thank God. I haven't seen much of this kid, except his teeth are blindingly white and he has short hair. So, that'd work.
augurey, I agree with you about RPattz. Sometimes dude looks flat out not okay. Like, his profile... He looks like he got smashed in the face with a cast iron skillet. But, 1) he's adorable in interviews and 2) he hates on the books, so... That makes him hot in my book. haha.

I second this (actually, I think it's probably more like fifth-ing it at this point, ha!). Trying to force a love triangle into this movie, when it was never really shown clearly as such in the book, is just, well, stupid.
ETA: Yes, Bitca, SMeyer said well after "Eclipse" was already out in print, that "Bella did not fall in love with Jacob in Eclipse, she fell in love with him in New Moon." Too bad her writing never actually got that point across.

I hope we're not stuck with another director who caters to Kristen's whining. I can see Hardwicke seeking her input about her costar, but all this bullshit about her not wanting to say the cheesy lines? Honey, you read the book, you know what you were getting into. And if she didn't read the book before accepting the part, well, that wasn't smart on her part.

But he's not the Jonas Brothers or Zac Efron or whatever passes for hot these days. Compared to those dudes he's an Adonis.
I suppose he's not as impressive when compared to people in the older generation (i.e Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Ralph Fiennes etc.) but compared to the tweenie hearthrobes in his generation he's JFK Jr.
The younger kids today have really gotten shafted. I hate to think what the next set of tweenies will get stuck with.

Thanks, scarlet. She needs to be smashed in the face... Like RPattz was. augurey, at this point, I'd rather a director catered to Kristen's whining than Stephenie's BS retcon dumb shit. Oh, and her insistence about the characters not having the sex until after they're married. Whatever, SMeyer. Hate chew!

I hate to think what the next set of tweenies will get stuck with. Oh, Rpattz> Brad Pitt, IMO. Forever and always. I also think it goes without saying that he's better looking than the Jonas Brothers and Zefron. Speaking of Zefon, has anyone read the rumors about Zac supposedly being ticked that Rob has stolen his thunder as the newest heartthrob? As for the next generation, well the Brothers Jonas have a younger brother who's about 10...

Heh. I haven't read that one. I did read the one about the Jonas Brother that is pissed off that his girlfriend, Camillia Belle, had lunch with RP. Supposedly, he called her and put a guilt trip on her and told her about all the girls that want him. Seriously, little Joe Bro I wouldn't be bragging that 12 years olds want to do "naughty" things to you!

Oh yeah, I saw that pic of Camillia Belle (who is quite strikingly beautiful from the few photographs I've seen of her) with RP. When the caption said that she was dating a Jonas Brother I was confused. Why would you want a Jonas Brother when you're in such close proximity to Robert Pattison? I guess that's another big mystery of the universe I'll spend some free time over Christmas trying to figure out.
