Well, I am alright w/there being more Edward. I'd love more and more and more Edward. Ha Ha
The lack of marriage proposal bugs me, mostly because Edward has his little speech to Bella that just melts my heart. Bella is explaining she was never "THAT girl, who got married right out of high school", etc.....And Edward retorts with "I was always THAT boy. The one who would get down on one knee and endevour to make you mine" (I paraphrase, but you get the idea)
I am going to miss the heck out of that. I've been looking forward to hearing Edward say that in the movie since the second I read it in the book. So, I'm going to be sad that that isn't in the movie.
BUT, and there's always a but, right? Maybe it will keep Bella from being the super whiny pain in the ass that she is in the books. I absolutely HATED the whiney baby crap she spewed over the proposal and getting married. I wanted to yell, "SHUT THE HELL UP, BELLA" Well, I did yell it, as a matter of fact.
I think this movie will be good, hopefully miles better than Twilight....and maybe the changes they make will make me hate Bella less than I did at the end of 4th book. but then again.......

New Moon: Differences
So the internet is all abuzz today with the news that there are some vast differences to the New Moon the movie from New Moon the book.
InTouch Weekly is where it all started, so we have to take the news with a grain of salt for sure, but some of the information seems credible, and, sorry Dawn, even better than the book...
For instance, how could the movie survive with LESS Edward? It couldn't. So they've put Edward in Bella's psyche as more or less an apparition when she is trying to get him to talk to her in her head. Wow...that's confusing, but it makes sense.
Secondly, it seems there will NOT be a proposal from Edward to Bella in order to get him to change her to a vampire. Now I realize this is a hard pill to swallow for serious Twi-hards out there, but I kind of like the notion. One thing many of us tend to forget is this book series was intended for young adults...not us 30+ y/o moms. So the idea of having a young girl see a movie where she is manipulated into marrying someone at such a young age would bother even me. Don't get me wrong, it's romantic as hell, and given that my own parents were married at 16 and 18, I don't necessarily think it's completely bad. But you sure as hell don't want to go around romanticizing marriage to teenage girls. Bad idea.
I'm stoked for this movie simply because my favorite characters have major scenes: Jasper and the birthday party and Alice in Italy.
Hopefully, the fans will accept whatever comes down when the movie opens in November.

Which New Moon Scene are You Dying To See?
POLL: Which New Moon Scene Are You Dying to See?
By Kiran Hefa and Alina Soler
The Twilight sequel, New Moon, packs a bite – and ripped abs! The love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob is causing waves online with the release of the official New Moon poster and the news that the movie's trio, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, will introduce a clip from the sequel at the MTV Movie Awards on May 31.
Out of the four scenes below, tell us which one you're dying to see the most:
1. Bella's Bloody Birthday
Alice surprises Bella with an extravagant bash at the Cullen house in celebration of the mortal's 18th birthday, but Bella accidentally cuts herself while unwrapping gifts, which triggers new "vegetarian" Jasper to pounce on her in a fit of uncontrollable bloodlust. Though Edward is able to shield Bella from the attack, the episode serves as a grave reminder of the dangers that will always plague their relationship.
2. Boys to Wolves
Bella replaces one mythical creature for another when she discovers good friend Jacob Black is actually a werewolf. Breaking their code of secrecy, Jacob takes Bella to meet the rest of his pack and immediately finds himself in a paw-to-paw duel with one of his own. A frightened Bella witnesses both boys morph mid-air into wolves as they fight.
3. Bella & Jacob's Joy Ride
Deadset on being "stupid and reckless" after Edward's disappearance, Bella purchases two junk motorcycles and convinces trusty mechanic Jacob to repair them. Bella crashes during their test drive, prompting a hallucination of Edward's voice, scolding her for her carelessness.
4. The Race to Save Edward
Believing Bella has died, a distraught Edward journeys to Volterra, Italy to evoke the wrath of the Volturi – an ancient band of peace-keeping vampires – who will kill him for outing their supernatural secret. Frantically making their way through the city, Bella and Alice reach the Palazzo dei Priori just in time to prevent Edward from stepping out into the sunlight and revealing his true, sparkling self.

not the usual recycled questions. I love hearing about upcoming projects.

Twilight Saga
I'm sure it will be. With the amount of money they are throwing at it now, how can they go wrong?
Twilight.......
Ah, just the mention of it makes me smile. How can I love a movie that really isnt very good? But alas, I am a puddle when I watch.
Please PLEASE let it be so with the rest of the saga.
Please PLEASE let it be so with the rest of the saga.
Yep
I saw it with my dad and the Joe, then that night with my mom, then the next day with my brother, then this last Friday night with my mom again...
I haven't been to a movie that much since Lord of the Rings...not even Twilight...

Dawn, Pumpkin
True Blood starts on June 10! Can you believe it? I thought it wasn't until August, but it's JUNE 10!
And that'll do....for now...
And that'll do....for now...

if they did the Black Dagger Brotherhood movie, it would be rated XXX.....and HELL YEAH I'd be there!
I'm having a hot flash just thinking about it!

Well Dawn Darling....
I want VAMPIRE SEX on the screen!
Maybe Stephenie Meyer should take a lesson from J.R. Ward and the Blackdagger Brotherhood...
Now THAT'S Vampire SEX!

Uh, Kerstin my dear......
you say "We'll see how excited I get over Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath on those..."
I say.....BS TO THE MAX!!!!
We also said we wouldn't want to see New Moon. Uh, who's counting the days? We ARE!
Girl, when it comes to Rob, Jackson, Peter, Ashley, Kellan and the Volturi....you know we are SO THERE. (well, except Breaking Dawn, which pisses me off and now even more since they said they were making it PG-13. I want VAMPIRE SEX on the screen!)

Star Trek, Dancing with the Stars and Cannes Hotness
Well, Dawn has been a busy bee today so I guess I better get my ass in gear! Starting with Star Trek.
Seriously, how awesome was this movie? Fucking awesome, that's how awesome it was. I was excited before I saw it, excited WHILE I saw it, even more excited when I saw it again, and then again, and yet one more time. It truly gets better every time.
Let's start with the cast. Perfect. Absolutely brilliant casting right down to "Crewman #6" who bit the big one, as Crewman #6 is wont to do in Star Trek movies. There was a perfect blend of the old cast characteristics and the new cast marking their place in history as the new crew. The action was almost non stop and the mix of drama and quick comedic turns was inspirational. It was just THAT good. If you haven't seen it, what the HELL are you waiting for????
Dawn is the resident DWTS expert, so I'll defer to her post. But can I just say...how hot is Gilles? Smokin!
Rob Pattinson. Forget Calgon...Cannes, take me away. As Dawn knows, I've been less than excited about the continuation of the Twilight Saga, but the new poster (below), the hotness of Rob Pattinson and Michael Sheen joining the cast has me all a twitter with excitement for the next installment. We'll see how excited I get over Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath on those...

Dancing With the Stars Results Show Tonight
GO GILLES! GO GILLES!
'nuff said. Seriously, though....Gilles/Cheryl, Melissa/Tony, and Shawn/Mark are so close in talent and ability. I am hoping Shawn doesn't win, though. I'm for a Gilles or Melissa win. Its been a great season. I'll miss it!
(oh, did I mention Gilles is totally HOT?)
Official New Moon One Sheet
I LOVE THIS POSTER!
so much better than the Twilight One Sheet. Edward looks great, Jacob looks fierce, and Bella looks like Bella. I love how they have Jacob between Edward and Bella. Oh no, I'm getting obsessed again!
Star Trek - THE Movie
Well, I saw this on the opening weekend and I have to say......IT ROCKED!!!!
I thought the casting was absolutely spot on, the acting was great (so NOT the over the top TV Star Trek acting) and the plot line was interesting. Great action, excellent special effects (or do we say CGI instead?).
I was so happy throughout the entire movie!
It was a movie I could see more than once.
BRAVO!

Trekkies Review the "New" Star Trek!
Trekkies Attack New Star Trek As Too Entertaining
When you need real hard jouralism, everyone knows you turn to The Onion. I’ve loved this paper for years and the videos they make are far better than anything you’ll ever see on Saturday Night Live (in my opinion anyway). Their latest video report is on the backlash Trekkies are having against the new Star Trek movie because it makes too much sense and is too watchable. My favorite line: “If I wanted to watch young attractive people doing exciting things, I’d stay home and watch sports”.
Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'
I LOVE The Onion! This is freaking hysterical!

Star Trek - Three Days Away!
Check out some behind the scenes shots of the upcoming Star Trek movie. In theaters May 8! EEEEK!
Real Housewives of NYC - The Finale - A sort of recap
Well, both Dawn and I missed the episode last night! Can you believe it? But I did watch some clips and read most of the blogs. It sounds like we pretty much caught all the drama in the previews, so I can't say I'm sorry I missed it.
BUT!!!!!
If you haven't caught any of the "Reunion" videos, check them out below. It looks like it's going to be a good one. My thoughts: The Whack Job is still as crazy as ever. I won't post her video, but you can check it out at Bravo TV. Ramona is insane, with a side of crazy. I just don't understand how she hasn't been institutionalized yet.
Ramona and Luann rehash the Hope Lodge incident:

I'll be watching this for sure!

David Slade’s thoughts on the Twilight saga
As we all know, a few weeks ago Summit announced that David Slade would direct Eclipse. But now, SlashFilm has uncovered an interview piece involving David that reveals he may not be too big a fan of the Saga.
During an interview on Washington DC’s WJFK late last year, David was asked what film he may see next, and Twilight was brought into question. He then said, “Twilight drunk? No, not even drunk? Twilight on acid? No, not even on acid. Twilight at gun point? Just shoot me.”
You can read a transcript and listen to what David said right here on SlashFilm
Dawn's Opinion: I have a feeling he was joking, but who knows? I LOVE the movie, but don't think its the best movie I've ever seen. But, I cannot help but watch it!!!
