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.Originally Posted by Joreads
New Moon she was very melodramatic but I didn't mind that so much- the whole 'saga' is a melodrama- but she turned into a nympho in Eclipse. If Eddie says no...stop pressurising the poor vampire. She is an absolute cow- she makes jessica tell some story to her and then blatantly ignores her and says how insignificant she is, she moans on and on about not wanting a party, even though the nice vampires have organised one for her...not exactly nice qualities, which is why I couldn't picture myself as her.
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 - WOW
Yeah, I wasn't impressed by the fact that she was suddenly all sex-crazed. It was weird. But I won't lie- I would really not enjoy having a party thrown for me, either. 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.
Yep, that's exactly right!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.
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.
The werewolf as a enemy of the vampire has been a long standing accepted "fact" so there is nothing new there. Strange then that Jacob could imprint on a 1/2 vampire?
Weird...well, maybe it's a "shapeshifter" thing...

Imprinting was made up, yes.
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...

I am with you. Remember that Edward tells Jacob that even if Bella picked him that he may leave her one day as he wouldn't have a choice. I think that was the tie at SM used to have a happy ever after. If they are enemies though how is the imprinting on a half vampire even possible.
Sorry Jacob never imprinted on Bella - still sounds like a cat peeing to me!!!
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.

To add dimension to the werewolves.
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...)

Yep spot on with that one Lim
That sat really poorly with me
I think it adds more to the story though. It adds to the fact that they ARE supernatural creatures.
She also probably had a little fun with it...
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.
The plotline or my phrasing? If it was me, I apologize.
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.
