I can't wait to see how they try to stranglehold the increasingly overt Mormonism of books 3 and 4... I'd like to see more on that at some point, even if it's just in a PM to me. Maybe it's because I have the same religious background as the author, but honestly, most of what has been attributed to Meyer's religion, I view as a reflection of the genre (romance novels) rather than her religious beliefs. So I'm curious about your perceptions on it.
Thank god for Jacob and his clan of implausibly clad werewolves (werewolves are apparently all about the PANTS and not much at all about the SHIRTS. Become a werewolf and you will never wear a shirt again).
It was hilarious! That part made me laugh and laugh.
Oh, come on! What plot? Seriously I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND how this stupid story is considered so compelling. My theory: the same appeal that any dominant male romance novel has on women. Which is to say, there are many people who will care nothing at all for this type of storyline, but for those who do, it's not as embarrassing to be caught reading a Twilight novel as it is to be reading something from the Harlequin Presents line of stories. And since the company chose to market this for teens, it feels 'safer' somehow, and more legitimate.
The cinematography was indeed lovely. Though I miss vampire baseball. *grins*
