#TwilightForever: My Name Is Edward Cullen

"'Hello,' said a quiet, musical voice.

I looked up, stunned that he was speaking to me. He was sitting as far away from me as the desk allowed, but his chair was angled toward me. His hair was dripping wet, disheveled -- even so, he looked like he'd just finished shooting a commercial for hair gel. His dazzling face was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips. But his eyes were careful.

 'My name is Edward Cullen,' he continued. 'I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan.'"
-- Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, page 43.

#TwilightForever: Meet Jacob Black

Why did they feel the need to introduce Jacob so early? In the book, Bella remembered Billy, Jacob's father, from her childhood, but she didn't meet Jacob until the group outing to La Push. In the movie, however, the two are set up as old friends.

The answer, of course, is to give Jacob more screen time for the Team Jacob fans. Sigh. It makes sense from a filmmaker's point of view, especially since he is an important character for subsequent films, and it draws in more of the fans. It's just one of those details they changed that bothers me.

But then again, I'm biased because I am very Team Edward.

#TwilightForever: Forks's Greenery

"It was beautiful, of course; I couldn't deny that. Everything was green: the trees. their trunks covered with moss, their branches hanging with a canopy of it, the ground covered with ferns. Even the air filtered down greenly through the leaves.

It was too green -- an alien planet."
-- Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, page 8.

I've heard complaints from people about the green color palette used in the movie, but I feel it really fits well with Bella's own description of Forks. It's one of those details that helps immerse the reader into the book, and I feel it translated over well into the film.

#TwilightForever: Full Moon

The first song in the film from the Twilight soundtrack is Full Moon by the Black Ghosts. It has a lovely haunting sense to it, and its lyrics speak of going home after a journey. Traveling to Forks is Bella's journey, and it takes a lot of courage and maturity for her to take it.

#TwilightForever Movie Times

Hey, everyone! As I mentioned on Tuesday, this Saturday, April 26, is the #TwilightForever marathon! I'm really excited about it. Join me for a full day of live-tweeting and live-blogging! I think it's going to be a lot of fun. You can watch all five movies with me or pick and choose which ones you want to see. For clarification, I'm posting the start times of each movie below. Obviously I'm leaving a little bit of time in between each film to change discs, stretch legs, run to the bathroom, make more popcorn, etc. The whole thing should last from 10am-9pm. I've also included a teaser trailer and poster for each film.

1. Twilight: 10 am - 12:02 pm (122 mins). For this film I will be using the hashtags #TwilightForever #Twilight.

2. New Moon: 12:15 pm - 2:25 pm (130 mins). For this movie I'll be using #TwilightForever #NM.

3. Eclipse: 2:35 pm - 4:39 pm (124 mins). For this one I'll use #TwilightForever #Eclipse.

4. Breaking Dawn Part 1, Extended Edition: 4:45 pm - 6:49 pm (124 mins). For this film I'll be using #TwilightForever #BD1. Also, you don't have to watch the extended version if you don't have it, but that's the only version of BD1 that I own.

5. Breaking Dawn Part 2: 7:00 pm - 8:55 pm (115 mins). For this one I'll use #TwilightForever #BD2.



I look forward to sharing this marathon with you on Saturday!
