    YUP
    they just posted it on BDM too =D

    I agree. But if you think about it, it’s more like she assumes everyone has read the books so she doesn’t need to put things like the mind reading into the movies…
    I think that is why she’s effed up so much with these scripts. IMO
    She ASSUMES too much. And that everyone has read the books… and that has a lot to do with her messing so much up…
    Not to mention adding too much…
    Let’s just hope BC and SM put her into check for these last 2!!!

    “We’ve already seeing what “her all was in the other films.”
    Lol true.
    Idk. It would be nice to have the movies close to the books instead of just the main ideas but that’s how it is. I see the movies and the books as two separate things now, cause when I go back to read the books, everything is so.. different. You know?

  • RG_YouSmellLikeSunshine :)

    umm well of course rob and kristen are excited for ‘those’ scenes! they’ve been practising all summer!

    i dont think she needs to worry about them ‘holding back’. but perhaps about them keeping the movie PG13 and about all the millions of twi fans who will be fainting/hyperventilating/going into cardiac arrest/being EXTREMELY turned on…

    *blushes* maybe thats just me…… ;)

  • “MY LOVE”-Robert/Edward

    “STOP WRITING BELLA AS A JERKY BI***!!!” LOL YEAH!! I really can’t bear it anymore if Bella again hurts Edward. In Eclipse i had almost heart attack in those scenes.

  • “MY LOVE”-Robert/Edward

    I just wish first they shoot Isle Esme scene. Because till this scene is done we fans will become crazy with all this news about “how honeymoon will be”, ” where it’ll be done”. Ugh.

  • atwilightmom TEAM BY THE BOOK!

    I know… Stephenie said in her interview that she cried and walked out of the dailies and threw a fit over the way they handled Jake, Bella and Edward at school in Eclipse… it was so out of character for Bella….

  • atwilightmom TEAM BY THE BOOK!

    Well.. its true.. Book Bella is stubborn, but she is caring and selfless. Movie Bella is a hard a** self-centered bi***…. Its TRUE!! LOL….

  • atwilightmom TEAM BY THE BOOK!

    But in the book… He didn’t know they kissed until well after the fact… The way they made it look in the movie.. he was watching…. UGH UGH UGH!!!

  • atwilightmom TEAM BY THE BOOK!

    I know!!! I was yelling at the screen that is not Bella from the books… Melissa has this really messed up notion of what a strong female is… Strong does not equal bi***…..

  • atwilightmom TEAM BY THE BOOK!

    Yes, Stephenie said in an interview that she will be one of the main producers and will be on set every single day!!!

    ***running around doing happy dance****

  • atwilightmom TEAM BY THE BOOK!

    She’s not assuming.. I think she didn’t read the books but got cliff notes…
    Here’s why:

    • EDWARD’S FIGHTING SKILLS: he would not get his butt kicked that fast because he can read his opponents mind and counter move… and Alice would have seen him coming and moved so he couldn’t grab her throat.. not that ANY of that happened in the book…

    • ECLIPSE: Training… only Jasper had a chance to bring down Edward as he was the most experienced fighter but they ended up calling it a drawl… the movie had Edward turning his back and Carlise taking him down… NOW… IF EDWARD CAN READ MINDS… COULD CARLISE TAKE HIM DOWN WITH HIS BACK TURNED… NO WAY!!! Plus, Victoria never got her hands on Edward..

    over and over and over she shows her lack of understanding and knowledge. it is really sad…

  • “MY LOVE”-Robert/Edward

    Oh, when i watched this school scene i closed my eyes.Just didn’twant to see Edward face at that moment.

  • Anonymous

    I wonder what face Edward would make when he finds out…during the actual birth…MR would be capable of doing it, probably it would go like this:
    Carlisle: Son, there has been a complication…
    Edward (frantic): is Bella alright??
    Carlisle: Edward, calmn down, she’s perfectly fine. It’s the baby.
    Edward (less frantic): What about it?
    Carlisle: It’s…uhm…got a tail.

    Evil MR laugh!

  • KL☼ Ami♥W4E♣BD1♂BD2♀Cptvs↑

    LOL – and it barked! =]

  • I’m_with_the_Vampires♥Jenny♥

    LMAO!!!! Yep they’ve been practicing alright…. I’m pretty sure they are experts by now…

  • I’m_with_the_Vampires♥Jenny♥

    LOL!!! That’s it,…. we need to make our hubbies read the books.. its so aggravating when they don’t understand….

  • TeamSwitzcob (aka Meg)

    Blah is pretty much my reaction.

    No faith in her. And SM being there… ::shrug:: She doesn’t get final say apparently so whatever.

    Hi 30 how you doing?

    LOL yep she should be scared

    *looks over shoulder at barn with pitchforks and torches ready assembled*

    Got the gear ready here for us all so we can start the march if she buggers it up :0 hehehehe

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    Is that true of SM? I didn’t read that. What is the point of having the author as an advisor if you can’t even make her happy? If she’s nothappy, the fans will not be happy! There is a way to make Bella appear independent without making Edward look like a wuss. MR has not figured that out yet!

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    As a screenwriter, MR has a habit of changing pivotal scenes and lines, but then does not explain to the audience that has not read the books why that particular character is doing what they are doing! No wonder the audience that has not experienced the books thinks it’s crapola!

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    LOL Anything goes at this point!

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    MR, pen in hand, thinking, “What would have happened if Jake took Edward up on his offer? Hmmm…” *smacks MR across face* SNAP OUT OF IT, BIOTCH!

  • KL☼ Ami♥W4E♣BD1♂BD2♀Cptvs↑

    LMFAO! I always wondered about that. Jake truly borrowing Bella on weekends and Edward getting her through the week. Ewwww…

  • KL☼ Ami♥W4E♣BD1♂BD2♀Cptvs↑

    No kidding!

    Your AVI is freaking me out! Rob is lying upwards…lolololol

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    What a friggin wench!

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    What a friggin wench!

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    LMAO! It was a clearer shot of the armpit hair, while keeping the beautiful work of art we call his face!!!!

  • 30yearoldtwifan

    Oh I’m ready! :)

  • 30yearoldtwifan

    Oh I’m ready! :)

  • KL☼ Ami♥W4E♣BD1♂BD2♀Cptvs↑

    Who me??? lol

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    No, your Aunt Tillie! LOL

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    No, your Aunt Tillie! LOL

  • KL☼ Ami♥W4E♣BD1♂BD2♀Cptvs↑

    She’s gonna be pissed!!! lol

  • Monique/booksaddicted

    He did… he suggested it to Bella in a round about way… Except our Bella… God bless her little soul loved her little nudger more than her own life. :) )

  • I’m_with_the_Vampires♥Jenny♥

    Your right! I don’t know why its so hard for her to keep true to the books. I know its not easy adapting a book into a movie. But seriously, she can do a lot better. I’ve read some fans versions and they are closer to the books than MR screenwriting.

  • Anonymous

    I get sick to my stomach every time I see her now…must be the past experience

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    YES! The fans understand this saga better than the actual screenwriter. That is not good. She really does have a different version of each character in her head. To her, it’s her story. Let’s make Edward a wuss, Jake the romantic hero and Bella, indifferent to everything Edward does, says or feels. Oh, and let’s not forget adding insignificant characters that just waste space that could have went to.. oh, I don’t know.. BLOOD TYPING!!! *cough*buttcracksanta/waitress*cough*

  • I’m_with_the_Vampires♥Jenny♥

    LOL!!! I will never forgive her for not putting Blood Typing in Twilight!!!

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    LOL @ “little nudger” Awww…. I am one of the Renesmee lovers. So many people wanted it to be just Edward and Bella, a big, bloody battle at the end.. SM had every intention ending this saga happy. If you want to read the other versions, go read ff. No one has a right to tell the author what should have happened.

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    Hee. I’m scared already.

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    *twitches* No, I haven’t gotten over that to this day.

  • I’m_with_the_Vampires♥Jenny♥

    That scene alone would of made Twilight more understandable….. For the people who haven’t read the books…

  • EAD_TwistAArmpitHair

    There are so many things that would have explained the story more, but it just ended up turning into a cultish kind of movie, which I enjoy watching, of course. They had more freedom back then, before the fans came out in millions and demanded to stay true to the books!

  • tpec1991

    SHE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING!!!! SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND NEITHER THE CHARACTERS OR THE BOOK!!! she has done a mess with every character and their personalities!! if she thinks that only beacuse she is giving use the sex scene, the rest wouldn’t matter, she is SOOO WRONG!!

  • http://www.coralecomics.piczo.com LegHitchThis

    Lmao! “do not make new situations”

  • http://www.coralecomics.piczo.com LegHitchThis

    I know!
    When I saw Eclipse, I winced at all the scenes where Bella was a major B. Then I was like.. ‘hm looks like she wears the pants in this relationship..’
    She was snapping at him so many times in Eclipse. It was quite sad. :9 & you know, Edward was so .. calm through it all. I wonder what it would be like if he argued back. Lol

  • “MY LOVE”-Robert/Edward

    Yeah. I agree with you.
    @”Edward was so .. calm through it all.” You know that’s probably one of the main reasons why most of us love Edward. He’s very kind, he has never been rude to Bella. Even when Bella cheated him while running to Jacob or kissed him -Edward was still calm. He’s the man whom many women dream of. But for me all these are acceptable only in the book (about Edward’s being calm) because Bella does all these Jacob things not in front of Edward as she did in the movie like running in front of him, kissing in front of him etc. To accept all these you really must be vampire .LOL. No, MR is definitely Team Jacob.

  • vampdazzled

    oh wow! I didn’t know that, at least now I don’t feel bad for doing the same thing at the movie theater, well I didn’t walk out of it but I did threw a fit at my seat I was so mad I cried *embarrasing* but I just couldn’t understand WHY MR?! WHY?!! I was like where were you SM?! now I know she was crying also, the good thing was when I watched the movie the first time, the theater was full of people that love EDward, so we were all feeling the same kind of pain! ugh! just thinking about it gives me the chills!
