osprey_archerMy aunt is a Twilight aficionado, so we've had a movie marathon which ended this weekend with Breaking Dawn, Part 1.
I think Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has started a terrible, terrible trend. I'm pretty sure they could have fit all of Breaking Dawn into one movie if they really tried.
Although they might have had to leave out Charlie's wedding speech. "This marriage will be a success. I know this, because I'm a cop, and cops knows things. Like how to lead a manhunt to the ends of the earth." Oh Charlie. You're my favorite! He's comic relief, but not in the way where it feels like the movie is making fun of him.
On the other hand, they might also have cut short the endless birthing/"Bella is dead!" scene, and I would have been TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT. Seriously, what is wrong with Edward? His child rips its way out of Bella's stomach and rather than INSTANTANEOUSLY bite her, he just stands there smiling dopily at the baby while BELLA'S HEART STOPS. Idiot!
Also, fun though it is to watch Edward loathe himself, fifteen minutes of resuscitation scene are really twelve minutes more than necessary.
A few other notes.
• Man, the sparkly skin thing doesn't animate well at all. Edward looks totally pixillated.
• Casting Dakota Fanning as Jane-the-Evil-Pain-Vampire? GENIUS. She is soooo creepy.
• Have I mentioned before how much I want to read The Madcap Adventures of Alice and Jasper? Because that would be amazing. I imagine it would be like a cross between an interior decorating show and the sword-fight wedding in the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
• The scene where Bella comes up with the worst baby names ever and Edward is all "Worst names EVER! But I'm going to BE SUPPORTIVE!" and Jacob is like, "Damn it, if he's being supportive I can't tell her they're terrible"? Kind of adorable. (Also, the boy baby name totes should have been Edcob.)
