EDWARD CULLEN!!!!!!!!!!, "What a sick, masochistic lion." Options

[lovefooled]

Wo0yaPo0ya: You got the special edition, too? It wasn't supposed to come out until the 9th of May. But including you, I know two other people who have gotten it when they ordered it. Weird.

And welcome to the two new members. :)

I'm anxious for Eclipse but I can't say I'm more excited for that than Deathly Hallows just because DH is the ending to a series I've read for 7 years.

[alysaphobia]

Gaspard Ulliel NEEDS to play Edward in the movie. Seriously. He's so much prettier than Henry Cavill and he's even got that crooked smile!

I can't believe what Bella has to go through at the beginning of New Moon... "It will be as if I never existed." =/

^I was in total shock when I read that part of New Moon...
Then I proceeded to speed-read the next 300 or so pages until their reunion... hehe. I'm going to re-read it again, though, hopefully at a more patient rate the next time.

And yes... Gaspard Ulliel's looks, at the very least, fit Edward SO well. I cannot imagine any other guy playing Edward... and though I don't know if Gaspard Ulliel can act... the crooked smile does it for me!

Yeah, I couldn't believe that part either. But I love Jake for how he helps Bella through it. I just hate that he and Bella can't be friends because the Cullens come back. He and Bella get along so well. :(

I've never seen Gaspard act either, and my main concern is if he can speak English. He's French and I don't know if he's played any English-speaking roles. Clearly he can't play Edward if he can't speak English or has a heavy accent...

I'm Cristy. :]
Yeah, I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw the special editions of New Moon at Barnes and Noble. Then I snatched it up immediately and went to pay.

[lovefooled]

Gaspard speaks fluent English. And his accent isn't so heavy. And in Hannibal Rising, he speaks English, though with a British accent, I think.

YouTube video of Gaspard speaking English. In the video, you can barely hear the accent, only when he enunciates some words differently.

I guess people were right, only Harry Potter and very few other books get the one day release special treatment. Usually books are shipped to the stores and aren't supposed to be put on the shelves until the specific date but sometimes the workers just put it out early. But hey, that's better for us in this case. :) Maybe Eclipse will be put out early as well.

Oh and BTW, Christy... is your edition of New Moon paperback or hardcover?

[*mishyerr*]

I think Henry Cavill is decent. :)

But, yes, Gaspard is much better.

[alysaphobia]

Yeah, I couldn't believe that part either. But I love Jake for how he helps Bella through it. I just hate that he and Bella can't be friends because the Cullens come back. He and Bella get along so well. :(

^On the contrary, I didn't mind too much about the Jake/Edward situation... how their friendship may be strained. Hahahaha, call me selfish, but I want Edward and ONLY Edward to be with Bella...

I do love how Jake was so kind to Bella, though. She really seemed to be coming apart at the seams...

^I just watched the video... and I'm even more convinced Gaspard is the true Edward!

[tokyo-rose]

Too lazy to quote everyone, so...

Joy: There's no h in my name, but that's okay. xD Thanks for the video links of him speaking English. I'm praying to God that he'll be chosen to play Edward in the movie...even though I'm agnostic. But that's beside the point. >.>
Oh, and my copy of New Moon is hardcover. The poster they give you is on the inside of the book jacket.

Alysa: Edward and Bella are definitely meant to be together. I admit I was kind of hoping for a JakexBella pairing for the short while they were best friends, but I knew Edward would come back and be with Bella again. I just really, really wish Jake would see that the Cullens aren't like the rest of the "filthy bloodsuckers" he hates so much.

[alysaphobia]

Agh, I know! How anybody could hate the Cullens- I can't comprehend it. They have the most awesome family ever... kind of makes you want to be a vampire too.

I love how Edward gets semi-mad at Bella for her 'human'-ness, and how Bella is so clumsy and stubborn, at times. It's so cute.

[tokyo-rose]

Yeah. It's hard to believe that anyone could be that clumsy, but Bella does it. It's also really hard to believe that Bella's still alive after the accidents she's been through. In New Moon, if I'd fallen and gotten glass in my cut, I would've cried so hard while a doctor got the glass pieces out. Seriously.

[lovefooled]

Whoops, sorry Cristy. :)

Edward, Edward, Edward...

I'm waiting to reread Twilight until my flight to Vegas. I will probably have a cheesy smile on my face the whole flight and the person next to me will think I'm crazy. LOL.

[alysaphobia]

Cristy: Haha, and I thought I was clumsy- until I read about Bella. I cringed when I read the part about glass in her arm- ewww. :/

Joy: I just re-read Twilight for the 2nd time! :) It seems to be one of those books that only gets better the more you read it. I'm in the process of reading New Moon again, and I was so close to tearing up reading the 3rd chapter again... ahahaha.

[angelrevelation]

I just recently finished New Moon.

I was about to DIE when Edward was about to kill himself...
Both Twilight and New Moon make me want to squee out loud

[breakingdawn]

Cristy, you have the SE New Moon? Can you (or someone else that has it) please PM me with a brief synopsis of the first chapter of Eclipse? PLEASE? I have absolutely no patience at all to wait for May 5th when people have already gotten it!!!!!!!

[lovefooled]

I'll try to keep this as short as possible:

It starts off with Bella reading a note from Jacob saying that he misses her a lot but it doesn't change anything.

Then Bella and Charlie are in the kitchen and they have a talk where he wants her to balance her life... he doesn't want her to spend all her time with Edward and wants her to hang out with her other friends (namely Jacob). (Remember, Bella has been grounded and she can't leave the house except to go to school and Edward can only come and see her from 7-9:30pm). So he kind of agrees to end her punishment as long as she promises to see her other friends.

Then they talk about her plans for college and she got into University of Alaska Southeast.

Then Edward shows up. Charlie is hostile. They continue their talk about college. Edward also got into University of Alaska Southeast. And Dartmouth. And Harvard. And Syracuse.

Charlie leaves to go into the living room to watch TV... Bella and Edward are still in the kitchen. Edward has brought college applications for her to fill out. And one of them being Dartmouth.

Then Bella tells Edward that they're only going through the motions for Charlie's sake because she won't be in any condition to go to college in the fall. And Edward argues saying that he thought the timing was still undecided and he doesn't want her to lose the human experience of going to college. And Bella says she'll get to that afterwards. Then Edward says they're in no hurry. But Bella says she wants to hurry because she wants to be a monster, too.

Then Edward is reading the newspaper, the headline reading: DEATH TOLL ON THE RISE, POLICE FEAR GANG ACTIVITY. And Edward says it's probably a newly turned vampire on the loose in Seattle. Bella says that won't happen to her, they'll live in Antarctica. Edward snorts and says: "Penguins. Lovely." So then Bella says some remote place in Alaska with grizzlies galore. And Edward says that's better and that the wolves get pretty large, too.

And of course, talk becomes about Jacob. Bella tells Edward she has to see Jacob and try to make things better. But of course, Edward doesn't want her to and no one will be able to protect her when she visits Jacob because they don't want to break the treaty.

Then Edward changes the subject to the book that Bella is currently reading, Wuthering Heights. And he thinks the story would be better if Heathcliff or Catherine had any redeeming qualities.

Talk then goes back to Jacob. Bella tells Edward he doesn't know them but he says he knows them better than she thinks because he was there the last time. And then Edward goes on to say that they thought the line had died out with Jacob's grandfather and that it's Bella's bad luck was strong enough to recover a pack of mutant canines from extinction. And Bella tells Edward that the werewolves came back because the vampires came back. Edward says he'd have to tell that theory to Carlisle.

Bella then tells Edward she really needs to see Jacob because he's in pain and after how he helped her when Edward left. And Edward says he'll never forgive himself for leaving her. Edward asks Bella to make a conscious effort to keep herself safe and she says she'll work on it. Edward says no werewolves, Bella says she won't go along with that... she has to see Jacob. Edward says he'll have to stop her.

The chapter ends with Bella feeling Jacob's note in her pocket and how he seemed to be agreeing with Edward, something that would never happen in reality.

Doesn't change anything. Sorry.

[breakingdawn]

^ THANK YOU but that still leaves me unsatisfied! grrrrr I really have to get a hold of this so I could read the dialog myself because I miss Edward and Bella! I'll have to try more bookstores to see if they have it. I JUST REMEMBERED THAT YOU LIVE IN CONNECTICUT! WHERE DID YOU GET YOURS??!?!!!!

[alysaphobia]

WAIT, HOLD IT!!!!!
Is Eclipse out? I was quite under the impression that the book would only be released around August....
Omgsh, I'm so excited and freaked out right now. SOMEBODY EXPLAIN, PLEASE ;P

[tokyo-rose]

Lol, it's not out yet. Joy was just summarizing the first chapter of Eclipse that's included with the special edition of New Moon. It would be great if it were released so early.

[alysaphobia]

Ahh I see!
I read it through just now. Seems intruiging, I want more, haha.

I'm so excited for Eclipse, but at the same time, when I finnish reading THAT I'll be so sad that I'll have to wait a whole 'nother year for the 4th book. Especially because I feel like Stephenie Meyer is going to put the most twisted ending for this upcoming book.

I hope Edward + Bella stay together. No matter who gets killed off, THEY HAFTA STAY TOGETHER.

[lovefooled]

Oh and Cristy, did you get the poster, too? I'm tempted to buy it just for that.

And yeah, the special edition isn't supposed to be released for another week or so but stores started to sell it last week... so just go and check whatever bookstores near you and maybe you'll find one. :)

I've only read the first chapter because someone on LJ was nice enough to post it.

[tokyo-rose]

Joy, I did. The poster is on the inside of the book cover. I just haven't put it up otherwise my precious copy of New Moon wouldn't be protected anymore.

[HakunaMatata]

I've never read a single word about Edward Cullen in print, and I'm sorry for butting in, but my friend said the following today and it was the absolute cutest:

"I love vampire novels! All the characters I want to fall in love, do."

I didn't believe her at first, but apparently it's true.

[lovefooled]

Joy, I did. The poster is on the inside of the book cover. I just haven't put it up otherwise my precious copy of New Moon wouldn't be protected anymore.

We wouldn't want that.

Anyways, I made an Edward Cullen fanmix. (It's at my LJ.)

[*mishyerr*]

If anyone knows what the program Bryce is...

I made a picture of a bedroom, and on a table, there's a copy of Twilight. ;)

[alysaphobia]

Anyways, I made an Edward Cullen fanmix. (It's at my LJ.)

^Oh my goodness. I love your fanmix!
The lyrics go unbelievably well with the parts of the novel... good job! I'm downloading so many of the songs now, haha.

[tokyo-rose]

^Oh my goodness. I love your fanmix!

Yup, and I'm about to start downloading too. Nice fanmix, Joy. ^_^

Ah, Gaspard Ulliel.
