Some new moon movie news
Summit and Chris Weis have decided to keep actor Taylor Lauther on to play Jacob after months of deliberating whether or not he was too soft to play the bulked up Jacob of New Moon. Poor kid spent months bulking up in Gyms trying to hold onto the role.
And he is cute.
Initially in Twilight, there were sort of similarities. I'm a bit clumsy and I feel ancient.I read lots. But the whole character just seemed so forced, as of Meyer was trying to make a vague vessel which could apply to anyone, which probably is what she was doing.Quote:

Let's be honest, the series is Mills and Boony. You'll enjoy it most by getting teenage kicks out of a fictional gorgeous man burning with desire for you.
They start filming in March due for release 20th November - WOWQuote:

I would be upset if my friends did that, knowing full well that I don't like most of the people there, nor do I enjoy being the centre of attention.Quote:

Any news on the werewolf front, Jo?
It seems, as far as I can tell that SM made imprinting up herself. I could find no other reference to it anywhere but I will keep digging.Quote:

Weird...well, maybe it's a "shapeshifter" thing...Quote:

Why though? So there was a convenient excuse for Jacob's love for Bella? Her non-existent half-child? I don't see the point, really...Quote:

Or better yet, how could he imprint on an unfertilized egg? Apparently Renesmee is the reason he was in love with Bella all along...makes no sense to me, as she did not exist, nor did the notion of her.Quote:

Certain things in the story are put there only to benefit something else. Or, highlight a point.
E.g When Bella falls for Jacob.
This was a device used to show how much she is in love with Edward because she CHOOSES Edward, at the end of it.
I really don't think it does, to be honest with you. All it really does is explain why Emily stays with Sam, after he mutilated her face. (maybe that is a touch crude...)Quote:

Oh, I agree with you on that. I really don't see how imprinting adds dimension. I'd be far more impressed if the women had some choice in the matter- if they realized that the men they're in love with are not human, and chose to stay with them anyways. That says more about the werewolves to me than some ritual of unavoidable love at first sight.Quote:

I think that's more it than anything. It's a clever concept, I'll admit, just not one I find beneficial to the story.Quote:
