for the twilight fans...




Of course, you may all know this already, but filming has begun for the Twilight movie, based on the books by Stephenie Meyer. I think the choices for Edward (Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter) and Bella will be good matches, fairly close to what I pictured in my mind. And the kid who is playing Jacob is a super cutie, but he looks too little and too young. Of course, those things are easily remedied in film.

i just finished the books. and i'm obsessed. Do you think Bella is stupid, like Katie? I didn't. I could kind of relate.

no, I actually didn't think she was stupid at all. Except that I think I'm more of a Jacob Black girl. I remember feeling all of the emotions that Bella talks about, and I loved the empty chapters during the months after Edward has left. That's exactly what it feels like to be profoundly depressed.

I'm glad you liked the books. I think they're a compelling story, well told.

hey have you seen anything about the movie? after reading your post today i was at a friend's house and she showed me a clip on youtube featuring interviews with the actors and some of the set etc. i had no idea that it was cruising along so fast! it's due out in december. last fall they hadn't done more than obtain the production rights. i'm impressed.

i hope they manage to make edward look surreally handsome! ♥

when I flipped those pages tears just fell. SO sad. Why are you more of a Jacob Black girl? Explain yourself

I think I really like his ruggedness, wildness, and warmth. I really like Edward, too, and think he's a great character, but I find myself rooting for Jacob. Edward is so refined and sophisticated, and I couldn't see myself with someone like that. I'd feel too much like a bumbling klutz. (Which is how Bella feels, too.)

Blue, I was surprised, too. I was reading the entertainment insert in the paper and saw that they were filming! But I guess if I were a true fan I'd be scouring the fan sites. Maybe I'm just a lazy fan. ;o)

I keep hearing good things. I suppose at some point I'm actually going to have to try out this twilight series you speak of.
