Suzan, you are KILLING me! Yes, I was being sarcastic, trying to have a little fun, and now I feel stupid. Yes, I get into deep discussions sometimes, but it's always good to come up for air now and then and have a laugh. I did throw in a fart joke. Now I just feel dirty and unclean.
[goes to corner of shame]
OK, I'm back.
BTW, why wasn't Nessie amused? She can't stop breathing.
OK, no more of those jokes, it's going over like a lead balloon.
Trailer comments:
First, Bella's first time out in the blue shirt, with Edward's comments, appears to actually be the first time. Therefore there is a little something different with Bella in different clothes and Jacob. The timeline has been changed or Bella puts on something more comfortable then meets Jacob for first time. Non-canon, no biggee, but I'm curious. She changes, but hasn't met Nessie yet? Don't know.
[EDIT: there have been rumors that Jacob gets some kind of smack-down by either Edward or Bella. It didn't happen in Part 1, so it must be Part 2. But, if Bella has time to change, would she have done so without seeing Nessie? She and Jacob appear to be on friendly terms. It's actually a good scene. Is Bella holding back, prepared to launch an attack on Jacob? Middle shot between the two scenes is Bella in forest in all dark-gray top, but seeing Jacob is two-toned gray, so not the same shot. I'm puzzled.]
Winter scene is inconclusive. There is snow in the clearing as well, so it's not necessarily Alaska. Likely, though.
Volturi shot right after Jacob's "lot of red eyes" comment number 70 or more.
Later shot shows about the same number, with 4 staying back (Volturi wives and guards?). No "witnesses" ringing the clearing. If witnesses are there, they are charging right along with the Volturi.
About that final fight. If I really wanted to show a fight scene (and I would), I would have no problem discarding canon about Alice's visions and werewolves. I've seen Tornado's comments elsewhere about appearing to be live, not a vision, and there is something to it. Would Alice's vision include a panoramic view of the clearing so you can clearly see both sides charging each other? Well, it might. Still, I can't be sure BC didn't really change things up, or added this shot just for the trailer.
Having said that, I think it's conclusive that there is a fight of some kind, real or vision. If Alice dances into the middle of it all and tells them to stop, the reviews would be absolutely vicious, and they should be. You can't advertise the biggest vampire fight in all moviedom and then back out.
BTW, that still shot of Kristen charging is NOT flattering, she looks like Chyna from WWF.
*********************
Two trivial predictions I'm going to throw in:
1) Bella "slips" in front of Charlie. The only giveaway in the book is skin contact that leaves goose bumps. I think the movie will do something more. Perhaps a slip of the contact lens, or an accidental show of strength.
2) A chance meeting with old friends. Likely, Jessica or Mike. A mall in Seattle, perhaps? C'mon, this is almost obligatory. Maybe a double-take, Jessica sees Bella, looks away, then eyes dart back but she's no longer there?
