Nom Nom Vamp Baby Nom: Breaking Dawn, the Fail Boat of Epic Clusterfuckery

As you may know by now I am a fan of the Twilight Saga.  However over the past year and a half my love for it has faded a bit.  There is only so much of it that you can take.  Its been dragged out for so long my interest is just 'eh'.  Now I am still a huge Rob Pattinson fan, my love for him will last a while.
So the first half of the last book in the series Breaking Dawn movie comes out tonight at midnight.  You will be surprised to know that I will not be attending this midnight showing.  After Eclipse I told myself no more midnight movies, its just not worth the butt ache for an ok movie.  Shoot I don't know if I'm even going to run out and see it soon either. The Breaking Dawn book, while reading it well it was disappointing.  Out of the 600+ pages of that book I can honestly say that I only enjoyed about 5 or 6 scenes.  The book was balls.  I can go on about my book review but I won't that is a post by itself.  With my dislike of the book, and my not so great review of the last movie Eclipse, excitement for the Breaking Dawn movie is just not there.
First and foremost, why the fuck they thought this book was a good idea to be a TWO PART MOVIE, is beyond me.  I just don't understand that what so ever.  I mean for the integrity of the story there was no need for it to be drawn out to 2 movies, none what so ever.  I know why they did it, 1. to compete with Harry Potter, (and don't get me started on that, lets just say there is no competition there.)  2. Money  3. Relevance.  We all know that the production company that is in cahoots with the saga, was not well known at all before this. Twilight has made them tons and tons and tons of money.  We all know that money makes the world go 'round, especially in Hollywood so there you have it, they had to drag this thing out for the money, to stay relevant for another year because lets face it this productions company will never experience this again. Period.
OK lets move on...as for the books, I loved Twilight tons, liked New Moon a lot (after the 2nd reading), and loved loved loved Eclipse. I already said Breaking Dawn was balls.   The movies: I loved loved Twilight, loved New Moon, and only kinda liked Eclipse a little (i can only pick out parts that i liked) it was a major let down seeing how I loved the book a ton.
When reading Breaking Dawn I only liked a few parts.  There was more WTFs going on, and boredom for most of the book. This is what I liked form the books:
1. Edward and Bella's wedding
2. Jacob & Rosalie's on going spats
3. Bella waking up a vamp
4. Bella showing her strength with Emmet arm wrestling and breaking rocks
5. Bella lifting her shield so that  Edward could read her mind
Yep that's it.  The book sucked, the main things I could not stand was the fade to Black sex scene, after allllllll that time waiting we get nothing! Edward turning into a pussy.  The wretched creepy hybrid baby. The big vamp war that never was. Bella getting every little tiny thing she wanted..that was just too perfect and unrealistic.

As for the movie I am thinking that the first half will be happy sparkly sunny rainbows.  That is fine with me, but with Kristen Stewart as Bella, I see it being a forced fake happy, she just does nothing for me what so ever and turning Bella butch well no, just no.  Then a pussy Edward? I hope not, I need my Edward to be fierce and if they make that change for the movie I will be game for that. Rob Pattinson has this Edward roll down, I'm sure he will play the part nice, even if the lines are cringe worthy. What I am most looking forward to is...no not the wedding, not the honeymoon nope.  The birth scene.  I love when people who haven't read the books learn of the birth scene.  Lets just say since they baby is half vamp its not normal pregnancy or delivery its not going to be pretty and it will be horrid.  I. Can't. Wait.  Nom nom vamp baby nom.
Ill return at some point with my movie review.

It's been a while

Yeah Yeah it's been a while since I made an update. Oops my bad, but since I am really bad at keeping up with things I start, this is as to be expected. I haven't been working on my list, actually the things that I completed in the past few months I did with out realizing that they were on my list. So where have I been, what have I been up too? Well I have been stuck up New Moon's ass. I completed a reread to prepare myself for the movie, went to the movie a few times (what? I cannot say no to friends/kids/nieces that want to see it with me), I have been doing the holiday thing, even though I am not in the mood, and fan fiction has sucked me in completely, I cannot stop reading it, it's kind of getting out of control, seeing how I haven't really read a "real" book in a while. But I WILL meet my goal, sirree, I will. I got a new phone, have have entered the Crackberry world. I love this phone, I see carpel tunnel in my future in the wrists and my neck (can you get that in your neck?) but I am always on that bastard, I cant help it. And I traveled to Boston for a fun quick trip. Ok on to my list of things that I have completed:

12: De Clutter Office. Well I didn't personally do it myself, I would have, someday but my sister did it for me. And since its done I don't have to do it, so I can mark it off the list.

18. New TV Stand We got this new stand about 3 months ago, its just what I wanted and I love it, now we are not breaking our necks to watch TV, and everything has a spot.

51. Make a real batch of cookies Yes I did it, and they came out good enough to eat. The girls, B and I all worked together and made chocolate chip, ans sugar cookies form scratch. I didn't even burn any. When making these I realize that I am a very messy baker, there was flour and shit everywhere...all well no one said I was a good baker, one thing at a time people.

62. Visit sister T's house. I forgot I put this on my list. I put it on there because I realize I don't spend enough time with sister T. We had our reasons, but we decided to say fuck it and hang out more, allot more, I am getting to know my nephew better and she is getting to know her nieces better. T is also coming to my house as well and I thought her how to cook baked ziti. We also trade books with each other. I'm glad we hooked up with each other again.

65. Gather kid's baby clothes for quilt. So my grandmother is an awesome quilt maker. I have a few from her that i love. I don't know where the idea came from, but I read or saw some there that those little baby clothes that you save, instead of throwing them in a box, into the back of the closet you can make them into something, like a quilt. I brought this idea up to Grand mom and she thought it was the best idea. So I gathered all the little cute outfits that I saved, even the girl's dresses that they wore in our wedding (yeah our own kids were in our wedding) I will be sure to post a photo when I get it.

79. Take a Bath Sounds like an easy enough thing to do right? Wrong. I can't remember the last time I took an actual bath. My daughter asked my why I was in the bath, because moms do not takes baths, they take showers!

85. Go to the Movies with Sam (3/5) We went to the movies again, to see New Moon. No I did not have to drag him kicking & screaming, he went willingly so when I talk about it, he will somewhat know what I am talking about. We left the movie and he tells me he is a Werewolf since he is always hot, and I am a Vampire since I am cold. Umm ok, lol. He still wants to bitch slap Bella, not for her blinking and stuttering this time, he says she is a dirty whore for playing those 2 boys. hee hee

95. Buy Harry Potter Book Set (5/7) Sam surprised me with the first 5 hardback Harry Potter Books, he picked them up at a book fair! Now I just have to get the last 2 books and I will have all 7 of those wonderful books!

Read 50 books in a year. I reached my goal by the skin of my teeth. I will post that in a seperate entry, I do not have my list with me.
