You Know it's a Twilight Movie Release Week When...

• Your house becomes very untidy;
• Your fridge is practically empty;
• The laundry pile(s) now bare a striking resemblance to the Closet Monster;
• You forget to bring your ENTIRE purse to work one day;
• Your cellphone is dead most of the week because you forgot to charge it and/or your ringer has been on silent since Nov 17th;
• You're having your worst hair week ever and showers are no longer daily events;
• You pretend Christmas is not coming because you don't have time to be distracted by such things;
• You forget to put snow tires on your car (what 2 feet of snow? shitttt!!);
• Your Christmas list consists of movie guides, soundtracks and other Twilight merch;
• Your days go something like this: get up, feed family, get to work, get home from work, feed family, go to movie, read a few chapters of BD, sleep, repeat.

Funny, most of these also seem to be traits of a person who's recently become a drug addict. Oh god....is this Saga a brand of heroin? Yes, I think so. Sigh.

Breaking Dawn soundtrack songs and their scenes

After seeing the movie four times (so far!) here's what I can match-up:

#1 Endtapes - End credits 1st song.
#2. Love will take you - ?
#3. It will Rain - End credits second song.
#4. Turning page - Best night of Edward's existence/Bella remembers.
#5. From Now On - Bella tries to seduce Edward, he tries to tire her out.
#6. A Thousand Years - ?
#7. Neighbours - Jacob gets mad at Bella @ wedding
#8. I Didn't Mean It - Credits (thx Smitten)
#9. Sister Rosetta - Bella getting ready for the big night
#10. Northern Lights - Jake and Bella dancing at the wedding.
#11. Flightless Bird - Wedding vows
#12. Requiem on Water - Bella having her first protective motherhood moment, caressing her belly while Edward goes to talk to the housekeeper. :(
#13. Cold - Bella alone on the gurney after arguing with Edward about her death/bath-tub scene. :(
#14. Llovera - Bella and Edward in the water on Isle Esme.
#15. Love, death, Birth - throughout.
#16. Like a drug - Mike Newton's wickedassed dance


Missing/on the Score CD?: boat ride to Isle Esme.

Can you fill in the blanks? Let me know if I've made mistakes! I'll see if I can add more after tonight (going again once the little stinker is asleep...may as well begin occupy Empire Theatres).

Breaking Dawn Part 1 Review (contains spoilers)

Well, I've just had the most epic 24 hours. I've just seen Breaking Dawn 3 times. And slept for 4 hours total, and, well had breakfast at 4pm today because frankly, seeing the morning showing was beyond worth taking a vacation day for let alone eating. It's been that kinda day/night. And it was indescribable. Up until 6:44pm yesterday, Eclipse was my favourite movie, but Breaking Dawn Part 1 is award worthy. Award worthy. Kristen Stewart deserves a golden globe at the very least. I don't know who was on the visual effects team but pregnancy with a hybrid human/vampire did not agree with Bella and it showed, just as it should have. She looked exactly as she should, like she was dying, like the baby was using every ounce of Bella's body to get the nutrition it needed, every last bit of plasma, fraction of bone marrow, everything. And I felt it. I couldn't eat during any of the movies, the 1st time because I was too excited, the others because I knew what was coming and it just felt wrong to eat seeing Bella as she was. It takes you in that much.

And the dress, oh god the wedding dress was stunning, and just perfect. The clothes were straight out of the books, every detail seemed to be exactly what the fans have been asking for all along - pay attention to the books (except, well, you know, with the long khaki skirts and stuff. Thank you Bill Condon for allowing artistic liberties there). And Steph at the wedding, it just felt right. Alice's over-decoration was so Alice. The flowers were beyond, the cake incredible (Jess's reaction was the best!). The twinkle lights were there, just as described in the book, off in the background, not begging to be noticed but there all the same. The chess set from the book cover was so good, so good.

And Edward. Oh Edward, how perfect were you? Despite Rob aging 4 years over the filming of the Saga, they managed to re-create the look of Twilight Edward but with the proper clothes and mannerisms of a married man. Bit of a hair cut mind you, but still, there was such amazing continuity, and not just with Edward but with everything. The throw back to the other movies just absolutely made the film. Here is a director who knows his audience. It was an emotional roller coaster, for the characters and for the audience. We laughed, we cried (a lot), we cringed, we almost vomited. And loved it. And the best moments? Edward was happy. He laughed. More than once. And it was beautiful, to see such a tortured soul, happy. A close second is a drunken Renee at the wedding. All the speeches were great. Such a nice touch, right down to the "Yeah baby, you're gonna get some!" look Jasper gives Edward as they drive off. And the birth. I've never been so close to falling off the edge of my seat at a movie, despite knowing she lives, I forgot that, in that moment, it took me in so much.

So what did you think? What were your favorite moments? Your most appreciated? See some funny out-of-place stuff? I had a hard time with this one - no Marcus' slippers moments. Even Edward's shoes were great. Maybe during round 5 or 6 I'll start to see those things, but for now, it's just memories of pure,well, magic.

There's a reason we all love Twilight...

...and this is it, right here. I'd give my left arm (and some dudes would give their left nut, I'm sure) to look this good just being (click to enlarge) No Edward vs RPattz today, just this awseomeness from the London Premiere. Oh, and 1 MORE  DAY!!!

Thx to Smitten for the pic!

10 days and the promo is insane!

So it's 10 days until Breaking Dawn Part 1 is out, and I can't concentrate on anything else. God help me at work, that's just a total write off until the end of November, at least. And then there's Christmas craziness, so yeah, I'm pretty much done the heavy until the end of the year. I'm sure my boss will understand when I say "Uh, I'm a little behind, Breaking Dawn came out you know, you totes understand though right?". Yeah, he'll understand all right, all the way to HR with a posting for my job. Anywho, all is well in the world. There is so much promo I can't even begin to post it all. Here's a smackeral of awesomely awesome websites that are on top of it. Be warned, there is so much ooey gooey goodness it's practically dripping off the computer screen.

Gotta go catch up on all the goodies myself. There's like a week's worth of solid procrastination here.
Awesomesauce. Over and out.

Edward vs RPattz Wednesday!

Today’s post is inspired by recent pics brought to my attention by my Twilovah Smitten. Seems our boy Pattzy is exploring Europe these days, and lookin’ mighty fine while doing it! Still, he’s got some tough competition as his alter-ego. Let’s do a comparison shall we?

And then of course, there’s a little from column A and a little from column B:

I have to say this one goes to Edward. So pretty. Though I’m lovin’ the suit, Pattzy, I must say.
 

So it’s been a very busy two weeks. Contests and tv spots and promo pics up the yin-yang (do people even say that anymore?). Only 15 days. Frig that’s nuts. Just yesterday it was like “Only 18 months to go…”. Here’s what we’ve learned recently (and I doubt I’ve captured it all, so much has been going on in the twilight universe):

• We almost had an “R” rating, according to KStew. Almost. Still gonna be juicy though, much more than a "fade to black", that’s for sure.
• The soundtrack is awesome, and the close-by-return to the sounds of the original Twilight movie are beyond awesome. I can’t wait to hear the score. Anyone know when that is going to be released? Oh, and the piano sheet music? Edward may or may not have inspired me to pick up playing piano again after a 10 year hiatus, or something like that. It's been a while.
• Bella’s lullaby. It’s in there. Summit was listening, oh yes.
• The Twi-fecta will be at premieres overseas on the 18th (so no chance of them showing up in craptastic Eastern Canada. Really? Wow, I’m shocked.).

K, time for one more Edward vs RPattz, sweet ride edition!

Edward and his supasexymobile (well insofar as Volvos can be considered sexy):

RPattz and his sweet, sweet ride:

 

Ok, I know that’s from Remember Me, but meh, I cheat.

 And the winner is Edward! Weeeoooo!!
