But can i just mention i DIED OF LAUGHTER when Rosalie broke the salad bowl? LMAO such a Rosalie move! And Bella's joke just before they left the kitchen had me on the floor. I loved that entire scene to be honest. AND ALICE!!! oh my gosh i like squealed and started clapping when Alice came in with Jasper- it was such a tension reliever to me, I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! i also really like how awkward Alice made everyone feel when she kept saying stuff like "Don't worry, we're goign to be best friends", or "i'll see you soon", and Bella walks away awkwardly- mahaha!

I'm so happy with the Cullens so far- i hadn't gotten the chance to see them play out their character fully, and i think they got everything ON POINT! Especially Jasper, i thought he was awesome...and so adorable! I'm seriously way too stoked for this movie...it's going to be amazing!!!

it's from the rome film festival...the audio's not so good, but if you watch it over and over *which you know you will* you'll catch it and it makes sense, just kinda hard to figure out at first...*sigh* i need this movie...now!

while this is not an issue that i think will make or break the movie (it still has the potential to be freaking AMAZING, but this part will always bug me no matter what), i thought the tree jumping scene shown in italy looked terrible. you could just so obviously tell that they were on wires, and the position of rob's body in some of the shots was just really awkward-looking, and the slow motion was cheesy. now, from the comments i've seen online so far, there seem to be two basic reactions to this from most people:
1. it looks terrible, i can't believe they did that, what the heck
2. give them a break, they had a small budget, you can't expect the best special effects ever

i have to take a middle ground. it DOES look terrible, and i do understand why they did the wire work, and no, i do not think that we should have been expecting the most awesomest special effects ever. BUT i think they could have done a MUCH better job with what they had, especially in the editing department. i'm into filmmaking myself, and personally they stuck a couple of shots in there that i cannot believe they used. they should have used alternate takes of them or just left them out altogether - it still would have worked.

but really other than that, i think this movie is going to be awesome.
