I love Twilight, even though it’s not well written and there are plot holes and character inconsistencies. But, isn’t that what true love is – to be able to love something so much that the flaws cease to matter?
There were a billion different DVD versions released on March 21st, but I bought the Blu-ray version from Target because it came with a free iTunes download of the movie and all the special features (movies on iPod rock!). Also, I virtually stalked the entire production of this movie, so I had already seen most of the other extra material and read about almost every scene. *sigh*
Why Twilight the DVD/Blu-ray is way better than Twilight at the movies:
- You can pretend Twilight went straight to video instead of being the highest grossing movie for a female director EVER.
- Watching the “Journey from Page to Screen” segment made me appreciate Catherine Hardwicke as a director even though the movie was a hot mess.
- Watching the deleted scenes made me realize that they actually did leave in the best parts…amazing.
- Kristen Stewart (KStew) says that she’s a bad actress and she wishes she could play someone other than herself
- Rob Pattinson (RPattz) makes fun of his expressions and acting throughout the entire commentary – in a critical moment, he says, “That’s not acting, I think I was really just cold – were you filming that?”
- Catherine said everyone’s looking older, so RPattz mentions he’s looking too old and haggard to play Edward, so Summit Entertainment should “get Efron on the phone!”
- The amount of times RPattz mentions his perfect man-brows makes me believe that he really does read all the celebrity gossip about himself.
- KStew actually understood the book and is very awkward and embarrassed most of the time – this is somehow redeeming.
- I know Stephenie Meyer HAS to support the movie, but I don’t think she would know a good movie if it started sparkling and then bit her in the ass nah’mean?
- There’s a piano concert of RPattz playing a tune he just made up for the movie in the special features section – you can call him a douchebag, but he’s a definitely a talented one.
