Oh Gaff ya bad girl! :tsk tsk: :wink:

ONLY 7 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

3 days and counting down til I get to see Twilight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we're apparently also getting the trailer for the new Harry Potter movie too!!! Double excitement building here! :party :mex.wave: I've seen 2 different trailers for HP and they're both amazing. So I can't wait to see it up on the big screen. But Twilight........yes kids! It's almost upon us!

Tje commercial for it just came on. As I said in the other thread, we are having a Midnight screening on Thurs in P.A. I might be able to get to it. One of my friends may get off work in time to come with. They are having a lot of Twilight related events in Port Angeles where the Theater is just a few doors down from Bella Italia. Half of Forks could end up there because there is no theater in Forks. I'm excited about this one, too. I'm going to see Quatum of Solace tonight with a friend from work.

Have a great time,if you get to go on Thursday,GG. I'm looking forward to seeing the film,too. Should be lots of fun---especially now that we've read all the books!-------------------------How was QoS by the way? I've seen some really mixed reviews so far. Is it worth my time?

I'm looking forward to it, too. I'll comment about Qof S on Yayvannie's thread about it.

Gaff - that sounds like so much fun for you!!! I can't wait to see your pix if you get to go tomorrow night. And I do want to hear about your thoughts on Bond as well. I don't know anybody that's been to see it yet.

Twilight will be released in Belgium on Wednesday the 26th. That is great :love: P.S. This is my 500th message. Wauw :clap:

Yay Marthe!!! Are you going to go see it??? I'm going tonight.........IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: :pink ellie :pink ellie :mex.wave: :mex.wave: :woohoo :woohoo :woohoo I can't wait!!!! In another 5 hours I will be sitting in a movie theater anxiously awaiting through all the previews (which we're supposed to have the new Harry Potter trailer amongst them) to watch Edward and Bella and all the rest of the Cullens and Forks come to life!!!

We didn't get to go last night. When we checked out the line at 3:30 for the midnight shows, the line was over a block long, it was pouring rain and we decided to wait until today. As it was, they sold out in 54 minutes, so not likely we would have gotten in. We'll be making the attempt today.

So, my friends did you get a chance to see the movie? My friend and I went to the 5:20 show. It was fun in that while we were in line, we found ourselves parked right in front of Bella Italia. And yes, they were offering Mushroom Ravioli. Sadly in the movie, the restaurant was called The Stuffed Toad and it looked quite fancy for Port Angeles. PA is more of a working class town. Here's a poor pic of Bella Italia. It was raining and I didn't have a tripod. While we were waiting a Seattle news cameraman came by. Then, we had someone from Bella Italia hand out a trivia quiz for prizes and Twillight Bookmarks dated with the old release date. In the second book, Bella goes to the movies with Jacob and friends. So, here it is, the only theater in P.A. proper and the one we saw the screening at. Evidently, some girls drove from Redding, CA. to be there at the Midnight screenings last night. If it weren't eight miles from home, I wouldn't have made the attempt. I've gone to the Lincoln several times, but prefer Deer Park which is newer and a little closer to home. Here is the Lincoln in the heart of P.A. We did make an attempt to eat at Bella Italia, but with no reservations on Friday night, forget it. Overall, I thought it was well done considering the budget. Sure there were disappointments. The meadow scene in particular, but I know how difficult it is to condense something of the original size to a two hour script. I'd love to have seen more of the peripheral characters - like Alice, but I understand why they couldn't. I'd like to hear the opinion from someone who didn't read the books.

Yes Gnat I will certainly go and see it. They told it on the television. I have looked it up on the site of the cinema. The film is expected but there is not still a date for the cinema in my area. I hope for the end of November. In the meantime I saw the trailer and it is fantastic. And the place is so nice, the surroundings area of Forks. Gaff that is where you live.

Gaff - thanks for the pix! I'm glad you got to see the movie. I'm not at all surprised that in your area it would sell out at midnight. We went at 4:15 in the afternoon on Friday, the day it opened. We had a great time. And we all liked the movie a lot. I went into it keeping in mind that while they were given a longer time frame for the movie, they wouldn't get everything from the book in the movie. They never do. And that's fine because I can always go back to my book and read my favorite parts. I think they did a really good job telling the story. I loved the scene when Edward takes Bella home to meet his family for the first time. That was incredibly funny. And the baseball scene..........PERFECTION!! I think it was even better than what I'd imagined it while reading it. They did that part so well. I think everybody was very well cast. Rob Pattinson was the perfect Edward. Nobody else could have done a better job. If I have a complaint about anything it's that they didn't do enough with Jasper. They didn't show his ability at all. So I was disappointed to have not seen that in the movie. But other than that I think everything else was very good. I loved Billy Burke as Charlie. He totally had that part down! And he was very funny too. Even Billy Black cracked me up. I liked Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black. I'm so excited because it's the #1 movie in the country having made $70.5 million at the box office! So Summit's already announced they've greenlit the sequel, New Moon. YAY!!! :clap: I'm super excited!!!! So yeah, overall I was very happy with the movie.

Agree with you totally on the visit to Edward's home - it was visually what I expected it to be and it was fun watching the Cullen's try to be normal. and make a meal. It was a nice addition. I also like the Baseball scene, too. I wish in general would could have seen more of the Cullens. Maybe something in the car between Jasper, Alice and Bella. That whole section seemed rather rushed and I wonder whether someone who hadn't read the books would have been able to follow it. I guess it calls for a second viewing, huh? I did feel Jasper looked like a frightened rabbit rather than someone who was rather powerful and didn't see any of his special powers. Maybe they figure they will deal with that in the sequel. Jacob did look right - wonder how they will deal with his growth spurt. Because of where I live, I did have an issue with the fact that it did look like Oregon and not Washington - there is a different feel and it made the river wrong. To me it clearly appear to be the Columbia. Most of the rivers of the Peninsula are more meandering and not so deep. Well, I was going to upload a couple of pictures to show the difference, but Imageshack wouldn't do it, so maybe later.

Got to see the movie yesterday. I liked it pretty well,and I know they can't show EVERYTHING in the story,------but the book was soooooo much better! Thanks,GG,for those pictures. It's really nice to know someone who is directly from the area where this story takes place. GG,I completely agree that if a person hadn't read the book,this film might have come across less well,because there was something choppy/a little disconnected in spots for me. If I hadn't read the book,I would have been felt "pushed around" by the story,I think. -------------------------- James, was scary and nasty; Victoria was good to end the film with; and,I wished Jake was in the story more. On my scale of five stars-------I give it three.
