Jacob said he just about had a heart attack, and he still seemed pretty freaked out by Jacob when Charlie was at the Cullens with Bella.  

Poor Charlie.

True, but can't you just see Billy's eyes getting wide and him stumbling backwards trying to get away from Jake? Well first he thought he was nuts for stripping in front of him, and I can picture him shying away and blushing then when Jake phases... poor Charlie. It just might be the first time he faints.

Jake almosed ripped his dad up when he phased the first time just because he said he looked weird. Charlie Might be freaked out but he will get over it and go on with his life as if nothing happend.

I could be wrong, but the way I understood this was that Melissa changed Bella during the the making of New Moon so we find a new (recasted version) Bella in Eclipse.  Melissa then goes on to say that she will be changing Bella even more for Breaking Dawn.

Call me stupid, but who is Melisa?  Sorry, but when it comes to the movies I can't remember who all the directors, writers, producers are.

No reason to call you anything except Laurlynn.  :-)

 

Melissa Rosenberg (sp) is the screenwriter for all teh Twilight movies.  She is know n for being a feminist and has been quoted (though now I am paraphrasing) in the past saying that Bella was not a very good representative for women so she would be revising her to be more modern.

Hmmmm.......well..... I wonder if she then is responsible for how Bella is portrayed so poorly in the first two movies?  I thought it was bad directing.  Because if she is, she never wants to run into me.

She wrote them all.  I do understand your feelings.  Have you ever noticed that she never has Bella say to Edward she loves him in the first movie?  Not once!  She has an overvoice moment quoting the famous line 'Three things that I am sure of...' but she never once says to him I love you.  She cut out as many signs of volunerability as she could.

 

When I first saw the movie I had not heard of the books and so I just watched A movie.  If you had asked me to summarize the movie then, I would have said something like:  Bella was a girl who appeared innocent initially but was hardcore and it took a vampire to until a nonhuman love softened her.

The one time Bella tells Edward she loves him in NM almost wasn't in there either.  Kristen added it herself when they did reshoots/pick ups in post production.

I don't remember that scene from NM.  It must be really fast.  

There are a lot of scenes that I feel need changing/improving/better direction, but there is really one that every time I think about it makes me soooooooooo angry!  I guess I shouldn't be too judgmental.  If you've never experienced such soul-deep pain and loss then they wouldn't have any reference to draw on.

I don't have the movie with me, but I thought it was when Edward takes her home after the birthday party.  When she asks him to kiss her, either before or after the kiss she said "I love you".

Melissa never has either one of them declare their love for each other in any of the movies!  The closest Melissa's come to letting them say, " I love you" is in New Moon just before Bella thought she was going to be killed by Laurent she says, "I love you, Edward." to herself.  Then the closest face-to-face is in Eclipse just after Bella kissed Jacob on the mountain and Edward said he understood because she loves Jake and she replies, "but I love you more."  and Edward says, "I know".  Not exactly a romantic declaration, you know.
