Eclipse!

For those of you wondering where the new CV chapter is, never fear! I know it's been about three months; trust me, I'm very, very aware of that. I've been working hard, there's over 3,000 words, which is about 7 to 9 pages, so yes, don't worry!

Now, let's get onto the main event. Eclipse! This is kind of spoilerish but in a hilarious way. It's kind of like footnotes. I might mention dialogue or character traits, but nothing to really spoil the movie. And yes, I went to the midnight premiere, I've just been too tired to actually do this. But I jotted some things down!

• Starting with the beginning of the movie, it was immediate cute factor. Okay, cute factor after the foreshadowing. Anyway, Kris and Rob... showing emotion! Acting like a real couple and basically falling all over each other! Much better than the first two. Much better.
• Good thing for me? No screaming! I was seriously surprised. When the lights went down, there was applause, and then when Paranormal Activity 2 trailer came on some people screamed, but there was no screaming during the movie whatsoever. Oh, except the first time Taylor showed up without a shirt. There were squeals.
• Family interaction! The Cullens seem way more like a family this time around. So glad we got to see more of them. Except I'm still saying Kellan needs more lines. And poor Elizabeth, she's being used as a placeholder, just like in the books. I guess Esme was always just there to make Carlisle seem less creepy for having a house full of never-aging children.
• So much Jasper love! Ladies, I will tell you, I've always been a big Jasper fan. I'm not into the whole shipping thing, but I just love Jasper. Seeing Jackson get the spotlight--MORE PLEASE! I miss the gayface he was sporting for a long time, but this Jackson is SO amazing! And I keep forgetting that voice can come from that body...
• I miss Michael Sheen :(
• Riley was done really well. I thought he would be kind of awkward, but no. Xavier was excellent. He shows much promise. Really, really surprised me.
• Taylor still has the most emotion out of all of them. Lay off the boy's nose, give him some credit--the guy can act. For anyone who was rooting for him to be replaced before New Moon, shame on you. Shame, shame. You are looking at bonafide Jacob. So get over it.
• So much screen time for the Fach! I couldn't believe it! But you better believe I was in Daddy C heaven. Love me some Fach ;)
• The 'stache was excellent, as always. Billy, I tip my hat to you. You are Charlie in every way possible. The awkward talk? Yup, totally Charlie. And by the way, did anyone hear him say "sammich" instead of "sandwich?" I swear I heard it.
• TRAAAAAINING! I'm so in love with that scene I can't stand it! CAN'T. STAND. IT. Jasper moving like an expert among them, giving pointers. My favorite was watching Edward and Carlisle fight. When you think Carlisle lost, and he gets back up. Jasper's advice? "Never let your guard down, (or something like that)" just as Edward gets tackled. So beautiful. Also, Jasper and Alice? Greatest mock fight ever. Adorable!
  
• I still miss Michael...
• The battle was just as I hoped. Everyone was going for the tent scene (which was excellent, by the way) or leg hitch, nope, not me. I went for the battle I was jipped. Slade is amazing, the way he handled the whole thing. And the effects for the damage? I think I liked it. Until my friend asked, just when everything was quiet, "Are they made of ceramic?" loud enough for the whole theater to hear. And suddenly Victoria's death was very funny.
• Bryce is not Victoria. The end.
• DEMETRI!!! I always knew I loved Charlie's Demetri for a reason. Not only does he have an awesome coat and vest, but watch Charlie B. as he appears in the clearing after the fight. He'll be on the far left. Watch those legs. That pose? Beautiful! That's how old vampires are supposed to be!
• Oh, and I never put much thought into Seth's coat color, but he is SO pretty! Seriously!
  
• Spoiler Alert! And yes, this will ruin the whole movie for you. Bree is still worthless.
