Maria
Love it Jules … original Edward is the best
Els
Wonderful pic, thank you! I also love Midnight Sun!
Michelle
Original Edward 😀 Love this Jules!!!
Lisa
Thanks Jules! Love this pic. I love Midnight Sun too. Sooooo wish that Stephenie Meyer would complete it – and then continue to write the entire saga from Edward’s point of view! It would be EPIC!
Ephie
OMG!!! What a beautiful aetherial picture of Edward!!! I can’t get enough of it. I wanna have it as a framed painting on the wall.
Thanks a million Jules! Mwah
Elaine
Just so beautiful – loved Midnight Sun as well
Carmel
Original Edward IS Midnight Sun Edward. They were one and the same. That is what we want to see more of
Thanks for the reminder Jules. You are spot on as always
Trish
Loved ‘M.S’ too – fell in love with a literary character because Edward already had Rob’s face for me. I came to the books via Catherine Hardwicke’s movie -still the pinnacle of this franchise, if you ask me. I’m sorry to say I cannot bring myself to see the final instalment – even for Rob. Unless someone can convince me there will be enough of Edward to wipe all other rubbish off the screen, I will not sit through two hours of gut-churning horror – and I don’t mean the Volturi. Can someone post an honest review? I’d really love to see Rob as Edward one final time, but like I said, I think the price will be too damn high. Jules, this is breathtaking, as is your latest banner.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! 🙂 MOUTH WATERING PERFECTION, THE ORIGINAL…LOVE HIM!!!!
Maria
I think it’s ironic she claimed to stop writing the book because it was leaked, yet all the leaked twilight footage whatnot never bothered her or stopped her involvement in the movies – hypocritical really
Money talks and bullshit walks
Maria
@Trish there’s plenty of honest reviews on the internet. From what I’ve seen the hardcore Twilight fans love it and everyone else sees it for its flaws. Don’t shoot me I’m just being an honest moviegoer – I’ve never thought that they put anywhere near the money they should have put back into these movies to make them something spectacular. Their CGI is tacky, their scripts are cheesy and unfortunately the fans who could have made a difference just accepted them. Don’t even get me started on the abomination that was the choice of Slade for Eclipse. Shame they couldn’t entice someone like Cronenberg to have done that movie – imagine what we could have gotten from Edward since it WAS his book, not that you’d know it from the movie.

Wow! Stunning edit, Jules! Love original Edward.
Val
Wow Jules this is a beauty. Midnight Sun I loved too….who wouldn’t after crushing on literary Edward first, then seeing Rob as Edward, then reading MS…has a special place in my heart.
@Trish, from a Twihard’s perspective (moi) I went into the midnight screening (don’t laugh, a friend bought me a ticket, I’d never been to one) expecting to be disappointed. What followed was an absolute hoot, and I really wasn’t let down at all. Completely packed cinema (mostly NOT teenagers, lots of mums like me), all shifting in their seats during the cheesy lines & scenes, cheering, whooping, cringing, sighing, clapping, possibly snorting, at other appropriate (& some inappropriate) times. I’m really glad I had that experience actually, was a good ending to a mostly entertaining, light, thing, that is what it is, none of us took it too seriously, all there just to have fun & a bit of a perv 😉 My second viewing was in a half-full theatre on Sat night in a different demographic and not nearly as fun atmospherically but fun in other ways to watch to pick apart the CGI & script, hair etc. @Maria I agree it is interesting to think about what other directors/budget might have done with with this series, but really the books got bagged as immature writing (even though millions of us loved them for what they were) etc too so who knows? As long as we always have RPAU to educate us on the finer parts Rob plays, I don’t mind seeing him sparkly on a big screen every now & then, just for fun 😉 Though sadly, the sparkle effect is still completely shit, if and when they attempt to show it – how’s that for honest 🙂
Maria
Thanks @Val – I guess we actually were introduced to Twilight because of Rob not vice versa which is why we probably are not huge fans. I read the books because Rob was cast in the film. Breaking Dawn hadn’t even been written and wasn’t released until August 2008 (I think from memory) so when Rob signed on he had no idea how it was going to end. I don’t recall the books being bagged as immature writing – they are teenage novels after all and are not really expected to win any Pulitzer Prizes.
I’m just hoping they don’t decide to drag this saga out and create more movies like they do with James Bond. Rob’s busy thank God for the next year or so, hopefully he really won’t have time to do it. As you all know, I’m more than ready for him to move on. Believe it or not – back in 2008 / early 2009 – the fandom was actually fun.
Trish
Thank you Maria, and Val you’ve almost convinced me to go – Great review! Maria, I don’t trust outside reviewers – be they Twi fans or otherwise. I do, however trust anyone on this site (even though some of you maybe psycho-killers… LOL!) You all have the right amount of Rob-bias for me.
I’ve always gone in to this series as a bit of fun and fantasy so I’m not looking for Pultzer prize winners. But hell, (and I may be biased) but why do they think so many girls and women love Twilight? Duh! – it’s all about EDWARD. Why the hell don’t they give the fans what they want, that’s what I want to know.
Val
Lol @Maria, yeah you’re right, our introductions were completely the opposite way round huh?! Having been immersed in new motherhood & visual & audio stimulation reduced to how-to-baby books, an annoying 4-man-kiddy-band who shall remain nameless, and the good old Playschool……the SM books & then the movies were my accidental re-entry into anything outside of baby/toddler world – and back into some romance too. Obviously after that I fell in love with Rob, found you, and the rest is history 😉 I am now more of a Rob-fan than a Twi-fan but it will always be the phenomenon that woke me up out of the fog of babydom, and kickstarted my love affair with music again too, through the *ummmmm* diverse range on all the soundtracks.
@Trish, as long as you don’t take it too seriously or expect it to be all about Edward, then BD2 isn’t all bad as a cinema experience (I get $9 tix so it’s not such a crime anyway, lol). I’d actually think it’d be better to see/hear it on the big screen. At least then the Eddie time you do get is larger than life, lol! The scene with him getting out of the car at the Denali’s makes the whole thing worth watching but I’m rather biased about Edward & his winter wardrobe. (there was a spectacular still of this scene. Edward in the mountains – ignore the car product placement. Mmm) The adaption of book to movie in this case, is nearly the best – that’s the general consensus amongst my Twi-friends anyway (who are not necessarily as hooked on Rob as me). Lots of odd plot things in BD book were done very neatly/succinctly in the movie. Of course many things left out, but nothing as bad as the composting excursion from Twilight was invented, so that’s got to be a bonus. They do round off the series really quite nicely, sweetly even….. @Maria, God forbid if there were to be any more Twi movies done it would be largely about the offspring, I would think, given the way they finished it, bahaha!
