I'm not sure what waterfall they used in the movie, but likely it was in Oregon since that is where they filmed the movie. I know of Marymere Falls near here www.oceanlight.com/log/marymere-falls-olympic-national-park.html but I don't think that is what she was describing in the book. I'm sure there are other falls in the Olympic Forest as there are many wild areas, but I think that was a writer's invention. As for pictures check out these pages on the Twilight thread Page 3 has pictures of the Thriftway, Forks Outfitters and the Forks High School Page 5 has pictures of Lake Crescent and a log on the beach which reminded me of where Bella and Jacob meet. Page 9 has a picture of Bella Italia and the Lincoln Theater in Port Angeles - the ONLY theater. They are about two doors down from each other. In the It's a Small World Section of the Member's Gallery there are some more pics of the Forks and La Push area on page 20. Hope you enjoy them. Kind of wild country around here.

I would be interested in knowing where it is. I know there are some great waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge with Multnomah Falls. or one in Washington Mountains Hmmm! Part two. - I just found a place where someone said it was Multnomah, but no comfirmation that it is correct.

Thanks Marian, I've been through that area twice and it is quite beautiful. It is about 5 to 6 hours from where I live.

Hi everybody! Sorry it's been so long. I didn't realize it was so busy in this thread. March 21st Twilight comes to dvd - in the States that is. Marian - I'm excited you've joined the Twilight fandom. It's a great series isn't it? You're making me itch to re-read that series again. As for Midnight Sun (Edward's POV of Twilight), I haven't heard anything new about it. I also haven't been keeping very close tabs on the situation. Last I heard anything was Stephenie Meyers saying that it might be quite sometime before she finished the book. And on her website there's the first 12 chapters posted. It's the most compelling read of the series. And that's including Breaking Dawn. I wish she'd write the whole series in Edward's POV, but I don't think she will. But I do want her to hurry up and finish Midnight Sun at least. She stopped just short of the meadow scene and I'm dying to read Edward's side of that. Anyway, I'm happy for you and that you liked the books and the movie. The soundtrack is really amazing too. There are bands on there I'd never heard of before this, but I like the songs. Rob's song is ok, I can't understand a word he says but his voice is really beautiful. Oh and by the way, they're going to be starting filming very soon on New Moon which is supposed to be due out this November. And Summit has already greenlit Eclipse which will be released (tentatively) for June of 2010. Just so you all are in the know! :wink: :applaud:

Thanks Gnat for the info about Eclipse. Glad to see you here.

I haven't yet read the whole thread here, but as I just about a week ago got done with reading Breaking Dawn, I wrote a lengthy (and WAY spoilery) entry about Twilight in my journal. Feel free to stop by and comment, it's not a locked entry. I'll not flood this thread with all of it. :wink: However, I do feel obliged to warn you that I'm not a 100% convinced by the series... Although I do like it and was entertained by it, for sure.

Hey, Gnatty!!!!!!!! Great to see you around! Thanks for the updates on the other movies. Will look forward to seeing them too. MARCH 21st for the dvd,you say? THAT will be fun too,won't it??!!

Yavannie - I read your journal entry and pretty much agree with everything you said. Great literature - :unsure: :no no Very addicting - most certainly - in that sense Meyer deserves a :bow: . Because I've done a lot of research on the Olympic Peninsula in the early 1800's. I would love to see a story about the Cullens when they first encountered Jacob's tribe. Now that could be interesting.

Oooooo,that WOULD be a cool idea,GG.

Gaffer - I'd love to read that story, too! At the moment, I have to confess, I'm devouring the draft of Midnight Sun, though. I'm enjoying the story so much more from Edward's pov. I love the fact that this way I get to know more about the Cullens (just like I loved getting a glimpse of Jacob's thoughts in Breaking Dawn), because honestly, Bella's pov got quite repetitive towards the end. I'm sure Edward's would, too, if Meyer wrote the whole saga again from that side, but for now - I'm enjoying my last bits of unread Twilight. Before the new book comes out, that is. And even then I need to wait till the paperback... :wink:
