I loved that scene. The look on Robward's face was priceless!

JG, I had a theory awhile ago that, since SM was producer on this, BD the movie was going to end up being her final true canon, the re-edited version.Jazz Girl wrote:I must say that in every viewing so far, the 'twist' hasn't lost it's punch.

Well, it looks like SM answered you, Corona. http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/index.htm ... um=twittercorona wrote:Hello Openhome and December, it's been a long time!
I am placed in an unusual position here. It's usually someone else that tells me to wave the hand and not worry about things fitting exactly.
As far as Nessie vs. Wolves, same effect on Alice's visions, but I always thought the wolves were especially disruptive, winking in and out of existence as magical creatures.
December, Tornado, good points about the limits on Alice's visions. Stephenie does appear to have tried, even in the books, to push a little on those limitations that the half-breeds introduce.
However, the bottom line, in my opinion, is that they just threw that canon out like yesterday's garbage. The utility of blocks in Alice's visions had outrun its usefulness, at least as far as the movie.
Amanda Beth, same here, that's my exact opinion.
They wanted a battle, so they got one. Pure and simple.
Stephenie might try to retrofit an explanation. It would be a delicious lie, and I'll love her for it. She's the author, so her explanation would have to be accepted as canon, but she would be a beautiful liar. Except, she can't be, she's the author. I love it.
So, agree. Not only was it great to have the Author/Creator of the Twilight Universe on set, it was truly a sweet gift to have an Oscar winning Director's talents on the project. The collaboration between them was phenomenal and their work truly was first class.Tornado wrote:corona - SM has said that she was virtually a producer on Eclipse as well, she just wasn't on set every day. I think it was the gentle touch of Bill Condon that made it a lot better this time, rather than the I-can't-cope-with-romance-stuff-because-I-do-violence-and-pain-better approach of David Slade.

Good theory. Great way of putting it. Thank goodness she gave us this, sort of like a farewell gift a VERY nice farewell gift.corona wrote:JG, I had a theory awhile ago that, since SM was producer on this, BD the movie was going to end up being her final true canon, the re-edited version.Jazz Girl wrote:I must say that in every viewing so far, the 'twist' hasn't lost it's punch.

That was an amazing scene between Edward and Carlisle. That is the true canon. This is the story that needed to be told.
I think we need a revised edition of the book.
Agree. Every time I see Carlisle jump in the air I look away and I'm pretty much squirming in my seat for the rest of it.Jazz Girl wrote: I must say that in every viewing so far, the 'twist' hasn't lost it's punch.

Me TOO. Me TOO. I really think this was SM’s way of saying, for all those who criticized the anti-climatic ending of the book, here you go. Meanwhile, the rest of us are screaming nooooooo.Amanda Beth wrote:I knew she said she was going to post something! I literally just checked her website this morning for an update!
"I would have killed more Cullens." My heart still hurts whenever I picture Carlisle and Jasper's demise, I wouldn't have been able to take anymore!
Yes she did, and I'm actually glad she decided not to offer a bizarre retrofit explanation per Alice's visions and Nessie and the wolfpack, although I would have enjoyed the attempt.Openhome wrote:Well, it looks like SM answered you, Corona. http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/index.htm ... um=twittercorona wrote:Stephenie might try to retrofit an explanation.
