Short report on New Moon:

Update: as according to IMDB, New Moon broke the opening-day gross record, collecting 73 million in USA. mamma mia! The world is coming to an end!

- Once again, it wasn't the worst film of all times, and it was even better than "Twilight"
- Edward is still creepifyingly morose, and Robert Pattinson still can't act to save his life. He so visibly hates every moment of this film and Bella in particular, and thinks of how he hates it all when doing tender kissing scenes. This produces very amusing effects.
- Good special effects work on wolves and human/wolf transformation
- Taylor Lautner is a very good choice for Jacob.
- The scene with Volturi was really good , as if implanted from another, much better film. Michael Sheen is rather awesome as Aro.
- The scene of Laurent's death (although very short) was rather good too.

- Every time Jacob took his shirt off (and he did this often) the movie theatre went crazy.

I am wondering - everyone knows how he hates "Twilight" , what keeps him doing the films?

He signed a contract to do 3 movies from the start. Can't get out of that one. Plus it's given him world-wide fame and so many options for future jobs.

Hee! I wasn't really looking for any story here, not with the ARMS of steel and nifty wolves!

I never liked buff guys, so I wasn't as lucky as you... I'd choose a willowy, pasty-ass corpse, too. ;)

This must be so HARD on him, poor thing. I should have been feeling sorry for him but I am rather amused - 5-6 years of life doing something that you hate must leave it's mark.

There is no right or wrong in the tastes, of course!

I heard him say in several interviews that he always liked the character of Job and identified with him quite a bit, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was seeing it as some sort of self-inflicted martyrdom which he must patiently endure. :D

Hee! Everyone choses their own cross, so to speak. :D And gosh - isn't the actress who plays Bella so unbelievably bland???? Why is everyone in love with her????

No idea, my friend calls her Wooden Mary, or in Croatian - Drvena Marija. I find that extremely apt. Hehehe!

I like this one too. And she always keeps her mouth opened - I really dislike this habit.

It is very evil to imply that all the girls need is to fall in love with vampire. :D

Well see, I meant more than why does everyone LURVE Kirsten Stewart. Apparently she had done redeemable work, but I've never liked her.

I am actually opposite on this - I think she is quite pretty, but her acting is HORRIBLE.

I'm meh about both her looks and her acting. Something about her... just no.
