The Saga

As I mentioned in my previous post, when I get a new movie that is part of a grouping of movies then I like to watch from the beginning until the new movie. With that in mind last night I watched Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse.

It was interesting to watch the progression for the first real time back to back. For instance little Taylor who I absolutely love. He really grew up from the first movie until Eclipse. He by no way looks like the twenty-something man that the character is suppose to portray but he doesn't look as baby faced as he didn't as he was telling Bella that they use to make mud pies together.

The other thing I noticed was that they completely killed the story line of Laurent and Irina. It is never mentioned that he went to live with the Denali's or that they wouldn't come help fight the newborns because Irina wanted revenge on the wolves for killing her mate. As I was missing it I started thinking about Breaking Dawn. How are they going to work in Irina's reason for going to the Volturi? Are they just going to make it about the fact that she things Reneesme is a vampire child? And if they do then what would be her reason for being in the woods to see Bella, Jacob and Reneesme? Without her anger over Laurent then she would have come to the wedding with the rest of her family. I am looking forward to seeing how they handle that in the upcoming two movies.

Lastly there is really no mention of any imprints other than Sam and Emily. Poor Kim and Claire just get got. So will Paul still imprint on Rachel considering they haven't mentioned Jacob having sisters at all and will Claire make a sudden appearance in Breaking Dawn so that it doesn't seems so weird that Jacob just imprinted on this baby? Decisions, Decisions.

I also am curious for how they will handle the ending to Breaking Dawn, Jacob's voice in the middle when the story switches points of view, and the wolves speaking to each other in wolf form. Those are the three things I am really excited for in the next couple of movies. Because if you think about it New Moon and Breaking Dawn are the only two that really have no fight scene at the end and yet they found a way to add a fight between Felix and Edward in New Moon. Will they do the same for Breaking Dawn? Such choices to make. I don't envy Melissa the task of rewriting that.

If you haven't watched them all back to back and you own them then I would strongly suggest it. I started at around seven and ended sometime around one but I did have to stop a couple of times to take my aunt's dogs outside. I am slightly exhausted today but it was totally worth it and if it wasn't for the fact that I have a few things to do today then I would consider doing it again.

The Eclipse Search is On

As so many of you know today is the day that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse comes out on DVD. I am sure that there are those of you that hit the stores at midnight and then there are those like me that decided to go a little later in the day. Either way, let me tell you the crazy of my story.

It starts at about 11:36 pm yesterday

evening. I was baking cookies for a cookie exchange that I was going to today. I had no intentions of going to get the movie at midnight; truthfully I didn't even think I would still be up that late at night but I was. See my goal was to go before my one o'clock meeting and be set.

I had looked up all the different stores selling it and although I normally go with Targets exclusive three disk set I was sad to see that they didn't have it this year. This year they had a box set that looked like the only extra to it was the pretty box and the movie still pictures which to me wasn't worth my extra money but I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and decided to go check it out first.

So there I was getting up to head to Target before my meeting and I get there and of course there are a ton of people standing around trying to decide which copy to get. I quickly see that they don't have the three disk set and decide that since their two disk set looks exactly like the two disk set that Wal-Mart has I would get it there since online it looked to be five dollars cheaper.

I put the movie back and go to my cookie exchange meeting since I don't have time to go to Wal-Mart before the meeting. I tell everyone how I am going to go get the movie after the meeting and how excited I am and why I decided to go to a different store since I was alr

eady at Target. The meeting ends and even through I am tired and cookie full I point my car toward Wal-Mart instead of home.

Yet when I get to Wal-Mart the DVD is not only the same but it is actually three dollars more than it was at Target. It's no where near the fifteen dollar price that had been posted on whatever website I had been on. Now I am stuck with a dilemma. Do I buy it there and go home or do I waste the gas and go back to Target to save all of the same amount that it will probably cost me in gas?

Surprisingly, stupidly, cheaply, or however you want to say it went back to Target. I got the movie and came on home. As much as I wanted to watch it tonight I always watch from the beginning when I get a new movie in any saga. So I can't watch it until I have time to watch from Twilight to Eclipse which probably won't be until next week. The important thing is that I got the movie and now I don't have to worry about finding it as the holidays get into full swing and stores start selling out.

Such a Bad Updater

If I was every single one of you I would beat me up. I have been the worst updater in the world. In my defense I have been working on my National Novel Writing Month Novel and although I didn't get to the end I did write over 100K words for it. I have never written that many words for any one story that I have ever written fanfiction or original. That was very, very exciting to me.

So the goal is to get back into "Extreme Circumstances" this week or early next week and it will probably run through next year so please, please, PLEASE stay with me and I will keep you updated on what's to come.
