It's Friday morning and I need caffeine
Oct. 10th, 2008 08:03 amFull trailer for the big screen adaptation of the first book of the series of youth novels written by Stephenie Meyer scheduled for release in December. It tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen, Lords of Dogtown, The Nativity Story).I may have laughed out loud at seven in the morning and scared my dog, y'all. Don't fall into the sarchasm!
Oh my god, they kiss!
Anyway. A giant zip file of 1000+ screencaps--I hit "10 frames per second" on the auto cap function and let it go to town, so, you know, enjoy the redundancy, go forth and icon, whatever.
Hey, you know what's great about the LJ gallery thing? You can tag your pics, the way you do your entries. And then you can link to all pics under that tag. Like this: Tag: vampire baseball.
Anyway, a couple of things I wanted to mention, particularly for people who are like, look, I'm not watching this shit, what are you actually laughing about?
Well, first of all--an audio note, not a visual, but: good to know that Our Lady of Soundtrack Sorrow's getting work in a tough economy like this.
Hey! Hey! The speed-mo tree-climbing part that killed me dead? Yeah, that's Bella on his back there. I could never date a sparklepire because I'd be vomiting all over the Pacific Northwest.
Also, please notice the hackysack apple of I See What You Did Thar. This is what the Cullen boys do when they get bored of not eating during their lunch period, I think--go out and play vampire hackysack out by the flagpole in the courtyard. Or maybe I just had a lot of vampires at my high school, who knows.
Ray Bans: The Vampimp Collection.
Yeah, they just lie there for like five hours, staring at each other, not touching, arguing who's prettier. You think I'm making this up and I'm totally not.
SAY MY NAME BITCH
VAAAAAAAMPIIIIIIIIIIRE
Actual line from the movie, I am not shitting you: "You brought a snack?"
When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way
My theoretical vampire boyfriend: "Hey, isn't the view great up here? "
* barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrf *
When you're a Jet, you're the swingin'est thing
Are they... are they having an aerial slapfight?
Please compare Robert Pattinson's line reading of "You are my life now" to mine. * This is why he gets the big bucks and not me--for superior understanding of how effing creepy Edward is.

Date: 2008-10-10 02:13 pm (UTC)I think this whole franchise is ridiculous, but I have massive respect for what I've seen Robert do with this character just in the trailer. He's found the creepy unhinged stalker that Edward truly is and nailed it.
And I think the reason the kiss has so much chemistry is a) they're both great actors and b) though they're moving their lips, it doesn't involve clumsy Meyer dialogue.

I'm trying to see if they'd be okay with me pulling out a one-minute clip or something for this entry.

Date: 2008-10-10 02:43 pm (UTC)As for the hackysack/apple trick - you know Edward totally practiced that and Emmett kept stealing the apple from him and Edward called him immature.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the "You are my life now" line was creepy, as only Edward can be.
Oh, and the Jet stuff totally cracked me up. :-) As did the Our Lady Sorrow bit.

Welcome to the Olympic Peninsula, bitch.

Date: 2008-10-10 03:37 pm (UTC)I think the *only* part of the trailer I liked was the apple hackysack. I always had a soft spot for the hackysack boys, because I had several friends who did that.
On the other hand, it does seem derivative of the Spider-man tray-catching scene in Spider-man 1.
