- I have a friend, who had twilight written on her shirt today. The only thing was, the shirt was under her sweater, so it looked like she was flashing people when she showed them. She then stole my sweat shirt and was "SUPER TWILIGHT GIRL" on the bus.
- I know it's not going to be as good as the book
- I hate that it got bad reviews

I didn't think it was that good. Fortunately, it wasn't disappointing because I wasn't expecting much. They under utilized Alice, and Bella and Edward looked exceedingly awkward on screen together.

I was actually impressed- i expected them to totally botch it.
Though you are right- Edward wasn't as "smooth" as i would have liked- they were a bit awkward. I loved Jasper in the movie though- Jacob made me laugho- and Alice was so-so for me...
Rosalie- I was impressed- she (in her breif appearances) was great.

I didn't know Eric was Asian
I didn't think Laurence was Black.

I do admit that Bella and

I do admit that Bella and Edward looked awkward. But, in the book, Bella had always thought that Edward was way too good for her, so it kind of was true. But yeah, I do think Edward could have been a little more smoother. Rob thought too much about how Edward was depressed (even though he wasn't really) so I guess that kind of made him look unsure and awkward.

Well, in Twilight, it said that Eric had greasy black hair so I kind of imagined him like that.
I wasn't sure about Laurent but he was a good actor. The book said that Laurent had thick locks (or something like that).

I thought it was okay. I

I thought it was okay. I mean, of course it was amazing because it was TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortuantly they gave the cullens barely any lines and rare screen appearences. I loved jasper as well, (he is my favorite) i just wish that they had given him more lines and appearences. and another thing, in like the first couple times they showed jasper, he looked like such a creeper! I did like the baseball scene though, that was cool.
but yeah, overall it wold have been wayyyyy better if emmett was funnier, edward prettier, alice less ditzy and as for jasper, i would've liked to have seen him have more than FOUR LINES!!!!!!!!!
i strongly urge people to read the book, otherwise you will be lost. plus, it is an awesome book!
