Eclipse: The Verdict
Hi and Welcome to Mac’s Twi-Attack!
This will be my last blog for some time. I don’t really feel the need to blog photos and interviews. We really are here for the Twilight Saga and Breaking Dawn is not due to start filming in what seems like an eternity much less on the big screen. If your bored go through my old blogs. There is actually some interesting stuff there.
Eclipse:
Now I am so happy to announce that I watched a silly move called Knight and day from 9:00 PM to 11:00 pM and did not have to leave the theatre to go get in line. Yes I picked a small out of the way venue this year due to the fact that standing in line for New Moon was ridiculous, especially since I didn’t care for the movie that much. I still sat in the first section/middle. To my mind the most perfect seats ever. There were 5 of us. My mother wore a Team Alice shirt because she thinks she is cute, My youngest sister wore a Team Emmit because he never gets any lines and he is hot, and of coarse I wore TEAM EDWARD… Well not really a Team Edward, but a shirt with Rpatz as Edward on it with Eclipse spelled out underneath. It was hot, so in turn I was hot. At least I think so. There were lots of people there from young to old, some even had their babies. Now why you would drag you 3 month old to a midnight movie doesn’t compute in my mind. That is truly die hard. The theatre was not as organized as San Tan in Scottsdale (I wish I would have been there since cast members attended). I had to remember that I was in East Texas! We just go with the flow, there are rules, but they are simple. And noone is telling you “sorry this line is full. You have to go around to the end of the other.” Then you get to the other and it is not 10 yards from the end of the first. The nerve! The movie did not start on time, but time is relevant when you are up at 12:00 AM.
The theatre was very quiet through the credits and then it erupted in applause as the movie started. I did not like the beginning. It should have been slower but who am I? I really like this movie though. It will never be as good as Twilight because Catherine did so much with so little and the music was incredible but Eclipse was still much better than New Moon (I may be biased since this was my fav of the 4 books). I have some points to make that I really wish they would get with he picture, literally and some highlights too.
1. The wigs suck! That’s the easiest way to state it. With all that money why can they not get this right. For goodness sake use 
Jackson’s own hair. The only time I thought Bella’s hair was ok was when the front was pulled back, but my mother disagreed. We Twi fans are broken on all sides ! LOL!!!!
2. Rosalies story was very short, but it still gave you the picture. I still don’t like her and never will. At least she was beautiful this time.
3. Kristen did much better but Good Lord its so pushed to show emotion. Same facial expressions over and over. Robert is so forlorn even when he is supposed to be happy. I too saw Remember Me and it was wonderful! I know he can act! Can someone please tell him this!
4. The change of scenes was giving me whip lash. Slade tried to put everything in there but missed the substance of the scenes. The action could have been more phenomenal if slowed down a little and built up to it a little longer. I can’t wait to see extended scenes on the DVD. It would have been better if it was longer. Why cut it so short. We were there, we already paid and would have paid regardeless of the time. Truly I did not want the movie to end. I love a good long book and a good long movie. 
5. The music/score was much better. It did not overwhelm you and take over the movie. New Moon was so botched in this sense 
that I can hardly watch it. The music is background, where it should be.
6. Esme only has one line. Well I am going to see it again, but what the heck, they hardly give the family any lines at all? It annoys me. Where was the part where Alice sees them eloping and is hurt? Where is the dress? Are they saving that for Breaking Dawn so they can drag it out?
7. The camaraderie between the wolves and family was great. I loved the story telling! Wolves were still not part of the scene though. They didn’t mesh well again, too superimposed to look real. I guess it must be hard to do CGI. They were better but really awkward and fake looking.
8. Newborns- well there was so much and so little as to them. They weren’t very pretty that is for sure! IDK.. Jury is still out. 
Those are my highs and lows. I loved it. Really. I know I am so picky, and critical but I can’t help it. I love literature and cinema. I just hate when a great piece of work is put up on the screen and botched because the interpreter (she whom shall never be given credit or named on my blog) can not feel the characters.
If there is any big news I blog. I will let you know what I think of The Last Airbender. Can’t wait. I’m going Tuesday matinee. That way I don’t have people talking throught he good parts, like Eclipse where I missed parts because of cheering or clapping. Keep it to yourself.. Keep yourself contained. LOL (I might have gotten overwhelmed and clapped a time or two, but was never vocal). So bye for now and have a great Summer!
November 18, 2011 is a long hot darn wait! Get your tickers at www.twilightguide.com (also thanks to them for the pics I barrowed).

Blog reading is my favorite past time. I am curious though do you enjoy writing them as much as I enjoy reading them? I have become a subscriber so I will keep updated now.
