TEAM JACOB? or TEAM EDWARD?

I was at my brother's house last Sunday and we were talking about New Moon. I had figured out that I have read Twilight and New Moon around 25 times since August of 2007. Eclipse isn't far behind that tally, and Breaking Dawn hasn't had enough time to allow me to have read it that many times. I was a little surprised at how many times it was!

Okay, so since that time back in 2007 I was a Jacob fan. I loved Jacob, I thought he was better for Bella and I didn't really get on board with Edward, even though it would be nice to have someone adore you like that, until Breaking Dawn. Once he got over himself enough to just be happy with Bella, he annoyed me a little. SO I have always rooted for Jacob.

I kinda sorta forgot about how much I liked Jacob until I watched New Moon play out on the screen. The movie cannot even be compared to Twilight. They need to throw that movie in the trash and do it again. The makeup and special effects were sooooo much better! It was also better because Edward wasn't in it very much, so you didn't have a lot of time to just watch how horrible of an Edward Rob makes. Jacob was unbelievably nice to look at. Even if he is only 17. So it was easier to look past the few scenes that NEVER HAPPENED IN THE BOOK. Like when she slaps Paul and he turns into a werewolf right in front of her to attack her! Yeah right! She breaks her hand doing that to Jacob in Eclipse, why would they add that in? And the fight scene in Italy, that wasn't in the book either, but it was kind of cool. I need to go watch the movie again, so those parts don't surprise me. I liked how they did the passage of time with those months where she was kind of out of it. Very cool.
There is one quote from the movie that I just about died laughing at. No one else laughed at it, probably because it was not very politically correct for me to laugh at, and really I wasn't laughing because I thought it was funny (haha) I was laughing because they just HAD to throw it in there. It is when Bella goes to see Jacob after she figures out he is a werewolf and she still thinks that he is the one killing all the people. She says to him, "Can't you just NOT be a werewolf?" and Jacob responds, "Its not a lifestyle choice Bella, I was born this way!" HA! How many times have we heard that excuse before!

All in all, the movie had some really cheesy moments-like Alice's vision of Bella being a vampire. LAME!-but I will see it again, and I will most likely buy this movie. The werewolf parts were awesome! I didn't know how they were going to pull that off, but it was very cool.

Eclipse comes out June 30, 2010, and that is the end of the movies so far. Stephenie says she doesn't want them to do Breaking Dawn until they can do everything right. There would be some tricky parts in there to create on film, plus all the nakedness with Bella and Edward and Jacob and the werewolves. So it should be interesting to see how they end Eclipse. Will they end it with a wedding? or leave it a cliff hanger? I am excited to find out!


And on a side note as far as movies go, Jeff and I saw Blind Side Friday night and it was GREAT! A great feel-good movie that is a true story! Go see it!
