Round Up

There are only 11 days until the New Moon movie! SWOON!

I am so happy now - I just want to dance up and down.

I will have a full report of what I thought of the movie after I have seen it.

So far, there have been many clips released - my favourite has to be of the Volturi. I love Michael Sheen as Aro - perfection!

I love the fight between Edward and Felix - let's hope it's awesome-r in the movie!

Anyways, at the Peace. Love. Twilight! Blog, I received this honor of being the 200th follower! I have a nice write up as well!

"Well , I promised that whoever became our 200th follower would receive a little somethin'...and indeed we do now have an astounding 204 followers!

Our wonderful 200th follower is RedRose15, who in fact was part of our staff until her schedule forced her to leave us... booo :(

Well I miss her dearly, and in return for being our milestone follower (why weren't you following before?!) she gets this lovely--kinda--banner:"

Thanks a million, Anna!

Other than that, see you after the movie!

New Moon Trailer - OMC!

Have many of you guys seen the third trailer of New Moon! Like OMC! I absolutely love it and if you want to indulge in the goodness again, here is a link.

Okay, my favourite highlights of the trailer. I absolutely love that there is more of Alice and more of the Volturi. The first two, I found, were focused on the wolves and less of the vamps.

I also love the Volturi scenes near the end of the trailer, where Edward and Demetri fight. I love the expression on Rob's face. I believe he is getting better as an actor!

I have also found that Kristen, is getting better on her acting as well. I found the scenes where she is supposed to be dead and zombie like, she did amazing. Except for her screaming at night. I can't say I was a fan of that.

Jacob, mmmm, self-explanatory.

Alice - I love her expression when she tells Bella that Edward is going to die and then Bella's like - What? Bella's face was perfect and how I pictured Bella's face would be like.

The Wolfs and the fight with Laurent - WOW! The way Laurent shrugged off the big black wolf, I was like - O_O


Well, that is my highlights of the trailer. I am always on the edge of my seat no matter how many times I play it. Now, I just have to wait two months until I can see it! :(

Let's hope the movie turns out as great as the trailers make them out to be.

New Moon New Moon New Moon!

So hey have you guys seen the exclusive footage from comic con! OMG!!!

I have on youtube and if you guys want the link, here they are.

Volterra Scene and Motorbike Scene

Don't you just love the Volterra scene? I can see how Kristen has changed since the first movie. In this scene, she is absolutely perfect. She does all her stunts and she acts as a panicked Bella...well..perfectly! And Edward - wordless, speechless - self-explanatory.

The motorbike scene is so cute ^^ I love Kristen as her portrayal of Bella and how she is so clumsy. And Taylor, he is doing a great job as Jacob and I am glad he was not replaced. What kind of pulled me off the joy ride was the Edward hallucinations. I love the first one where he touches Bella's hand, but after that - it looks too fake.

I guess I am over analyzing this but hey, it's awesome either way!

These two scenes were practically word for word of the book, and I'm lovin' it!

That's all I got to say!

Wowzers!

V.S.

Wow!

So um yeah..the second image is the tentative cover of the paperback edition of the New Moon book. It is similar to the first poster - but the difference is Bella's head angling and Edward's sad downward expression.

Well, you know what I thought of the first poster and now you get to see what I think of the next "poster".

I can't say I love it, but it's good though. For some reason I don'tlike that Edward looks like that. I mean, it shows that he is sad and dejected, but would Edward really look downward like that? I don't know - I just prefer the first one. Do you guys get what I mean? I mean, Edward can look tortured but I don't think his head would hang over like that when he sees Jacob and Bella.

So overall - I give the new image a 3.5/5 - the first poster 4.5/5.

And here is another image released from EW.


Another wow here. What do you guys think of this? I would definitely go buy the book just for this cover. I see that here Bella and Jacob are going to get close and Edward is still there, in the back of Bella's mind. I like how Edward isn't entirely out of the picture. Bella seems clingy here but that is exactly what she is so they captured that essence of her beautifully. And Jacob- wow, his stare is intense, but perfect.

This image - 4/5 - something is still lacking...I don't know. I still haven't seen the perfect image yet. Let's hope there will be one.

So until next time!

OME! New Moon Teaser TRAILER!

Have any of you guys see the trailer....like O-M-G. I loved it. The make up looked SOOO much better. I love the gold tint versus the blue tint of Twilight. And OMG> Jacob! Wow, his wolf form looked so cool. And Edward looks good too. ^^

Check it out!



Isn't it amazing? Don't you just love their the Cullens transformation along with Bella? Bella, I think, has just gotten much feminine. I love her green dress. But, omg, Edward - I love his tortured expression.

*fangirl squeal*

Do I hear you guys squealing too?

Tell me what you guys think of it in the comments, please?

FIRST CLIP FROM NEW MOON!

Check it out! This is fifteen seconds of the new trailer that is coming out today on MTV Movie Awards!

I love it!

Don't you? I mean, this is the scene before it goes all downhill for Bella. You could even feel it in the air. The tension. I mean, why isn't Edward talking? It's just Bella. Because he's going to leave her!

I'll have the trailer up as soon as possible.

New Moon Teasers

Isn't the poster just gorgeous? Man, I want this movie to come out - like NOW!



The minute I saw this during my spare at school, I was like WOW! My friend was beside me and as a Twilight-hater, she rolled her eyes. I shut my mouth, but inside I was tingling. I loved this poster so MUCH more than the Twilight poster.



This poster is just beautiful. I can see that the make-up is awesome - so Edward doesn't look like he was just poured make up like in the first movie. Bella looks so natural - the other movie she looked awesome as well, but this shot makes her look so desperate and how she is clinging onto Jacob - like she needs that moral support. WOW!



And Jacob - I am starting to Love him more and more. I love his stance between Edward and Bella. I love how he looks like he is protecting her from Edward.



*insert fangirl squeal*



The sunshine through the trees is a nice touch. The past poster was too dull with only a black background. This one brings in the setting - Forks - just magnificiently.



And boy, do I love their clothes. Edward looks awesome and he is still wearing his cuff! Jacob doesn't have his long hair, though, but I am alright with that. Jacob looks so good with short hair :D Bella - oh, how I wish to be her!! Love her clothes!



The logo is beautiful as it is orange and just fits the entire mood of the poster. The cloudy shades of brown just adds the perfect and final touch to the poster. And I love the date 11.20.09 because it's my sister's birthday and I am going to treat her the movie. So I can't just wait for the movie!



This poster is just perfection in all ways possible. The only thing I can't wait for is the trailer, some scenes previewing at MTV awards!



And oh here are some set pictures, from Entertainment Weekly right here. Just tell me you love them! I especially love the one with Bella on the ground after Edward pushes her again the table at her birthday! And oh the almost kiss scene .. squeals!! I love the Laurent one as well, but I think he has too much make up on.



What do you guys think?

How much has Twilight changed your life?

So yeah this isn't like my review of the books or anything of that sort....but I will be giving you something to ponder about.

How much has Twilight changed your life?

I know that this is a general question, but really how much has Twilight changed your life?

Did you all think that really that a single book would get you obsessed, create a religion called Cullenism, collect Twilight merchandise and practically breathe Twilight?

For me, I have been on a few forums (thetwilightforums, twilighted.net, twilightedteens), check twilighters.org daily and twilightsource.com, get a few merchandise, and write fanfiction. And make a site dedicated to twilight and make graphics of twilight-related stories and things...hm...am I obsessed...I don't think so :D

For me, this has opened my eyes and caused me to open up about possibilities. Anything is possible...

How about you? What has it done to your life?

The next post I will put up some replies...

So tell me what you guys have learned from TWILIGHT!!!

New Moon was the black hour of my own life

I have never really noticed how much a book can take a toll on a person's life. The second book of the saga, New Moon, was that book for me.

I had taken this book out of my Indigo the day after I read Twilight at least three times. It wasn't at my local library, and I needed to read the book so badly after I read reviews on my library website and I learned the Edward wanted to go and die for Bella. *fangirl moment*

Here I was late at night, in my room, reading the first three chapters, before I looked at him saying goodbye to her, and tears rolling down my cheek. The next few hundred pages were so painful for me to read, so guess what I did? I skipped to the part when Alice came. Yeah, I know, wierd. I just couldn't handle it.

So when I find out Edward went to Volterra, I shrieked. I literally shrieked. I was so happy that he actually loved her. :D

So I continued the story until the end, and damn was I happy when they got together. I loved the bedroom scene (I hope it comes for the movie).

When I finished reading it, I felt ok, and went back to read the parts which I skipped. I loved, then, the cliff diving scene. I knew that Bella would make it out alive - she was the main character!!! I can't say I loved Jacob in this. I loved him in the first book as he had a very little role, and I found it cute for him to have a crush on her. But I found him to be pushing it in New Moon. Overall, when I was reading this book, I knew my family and friends felt the difference. New Moon was the black hour of my own life. I could really feel depressed as if I was in Bella's shoes.

This was a very good book, but I wouldn't want to read it again and go through my black hour again.

Nonetheless, this gripping tale of losing love and the gaining it back and action is one of my favourites of all time.

Maroon 5 and...Yiruma? Twilight Playlist

I have heard Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Playlist and have listened the the Movie soundtrack and score. And all I can really say is: Wow.

The choice of music for this series is very different from what I listen to. So, one day when I was bored, I put together my own twilight playlist.

The songs on my playlist consist mostly of Maroon 5, because they are my favourite band. And all of their songs remind me of Bella and Edward for some reason.

Ragdoll, Sweetest Goodbye, and Goodnight Goodnight seemed to be the ones which related to Edward and Bella's sweet yet dangerous relationship. Ragdoll signifies how Edward can't read Bella at all and how she is so different. Goodnight Goodnight and Sweetest Goodbye just signifies how much he loves her.

No One by Alicia Keys signifies that Bella doesn't care if people don't like her relationship with Edward. She would do whatever it takes to be with him.

Crushcrushcrush by Paramore is a song saying that she will love him but it's nice to have some time alone.

Hate that I love You So by Neyo and Rihanna show how much they hate that they love each other but it is just inevitable.

Tremble for My Beloved by Collective Soul is found on Stephenie Meyer's playlist and the Movie soundtrack. I just figured that this song really represents how Edward loves Bella.

And Yiruma's River Flows In You is my Bella's Lullaby. It is sweet and soft and very touching to my heart.

Feel free to listen and tell me what your twilight songs are in the comments!

Music Playlist at MixPod.com

After I read Twilight, all I could say was "Wow, I want an Edward."

So I have never really explained why I have loved this series so much. Well, I am in love with the love that Edward has for his Bella. From the beginning of the series, I realized that Edward was going to be one of those fictional characters who every girl wants. But as it progressed I realized that Edward was so much more. He had much more character than his pretty face and sweetness. He wanted to be the good guy even if it meant to leave the soul and his world.

"What if I'm not the hero? What if I'm the bad guy?" -Edward

I didn't love the series, contrary to belief, only because of Edward. I loved it because of Bella. Bella is an ordinary character who every young girl can relate to. She is not anyone special. Her character shows that anything can happen to anyone. Yet, she is also strikingly interesting. Her accident proneness and her other attributes makes her story a bit more interesting than it were someone else.


The other characters in this series interest me as well but not as much as Emmett. He is the character who represents the protector of the family. He is the one who is the brotherly figure to Bella, seeing as she has no siblings. I just love his few quotes he says, but they are classic. I just love his appearance as he represents the humorous one.

The plot of the first book was very intriguing as I realized that from the beginning this was not going to be your everyday romance. I very much liked the subtly and the slow motion of the relationship in the book and I realized that this romance would last. Apart from the romance, the tension of Edward trying not to kill Bella was evident and it kept me on the book, not bored. And when the nomads arrived I realized that I was going to be sad. I was scared for when Bella's mother was taken by James. As gullible as I am, I believed what James had said to Bella. Yet when James was killed and Bella was saved, I realized that I wanted to be a vampire so badly. I wanted to save and have awesome powers. Or I wanted to be in love with a vampire, where he could save me always. And the prom scene ~ self explanatory. It was beautiful.

After I read Twilight, all I could say was "Wow, I want an Edward."

And all I could say was that I wanted to stay in this world forever. I didn't want to let go of Twilight ever.

Or at least until I read New Moon.

Uh...Yeah, no idea how I am going to finish English...

So I find myself making a blog on how addicted I am with Twilight and it's 12:35 am here. And I have an orale which I haven't prepared for...hmm...

And I have realized that this week is very packed and I have no absolutely no time to finish this post...

EDIT: Nevermind, I kind of do. It's Wednesday and the only homework I have is a physics lab. Anyways, let me introduce myself.

I am RedRose15 or if you want, Rose. I do not lend out my real name over the internet but Rose suits me fine. The name kind of caught on after a while.

I discovered Twilight in the summer of 2007 while I was looking for a book to read. Twilight had always interested me but I had always forgot about it. Eventually, I found it at my library and read it in one day. It was awesome! The next day I returned Twilight and saw if New Moon was there. Unfortunately, it was not so I persuaded my mom to buy it for me at Indigo.

Reluctantly, she said yes to my addiction and this is how my addiction began.

Now, I am part of many twilight fansites and written many fanfictions about Twilight. I have even started listening to Twilight podcasts.

My favourite fansites are Twilighted.net and the own I started with a few friends - The Obsessive Twilight Disorder (links below)

I hope this blog will keep you interested as I explain further on about the World I am currently trapped in. Maybe you guys will be able to help me get out - even though I don't want to :D
