  • Hi! I'm Ellachanted and I'm a fanfic-oholic.
Thread #6 - We are crazy talkers here! Join in the fun!

ADULT DISCUSSION HERE, SO TRY TO KEEP IT CLEAN! UM NO, WAIT! IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED, LOOK AWAY NOW! 

This is the new thread as the other was sooo long and had lots of pages. Continuation of our wonderful discussions on Twilight Fanfiction, Books, and Life in general.  But mostly Twilight fanfics... and life stuff that will get me a NOT ALLOWED statement. 

Okay, here is a place to discuss what you are reading, ask for recommendations and complain about the writing.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, so please play nice   

Because we know drypen's watching    :googlyeyes:

If I remember right, Nikki Reed bleached her hair for the first film, then refused to do it for the rest, because it damaged her hair. They recasted Victoria, they should have re-casted her, too, if she didn't want to keep her commitment. I still find it hard to believe they couldn't find a single blonde actress (natural, or otherwise) to play Rose.

I know the chocolate orbs thing has been done to death in fic, but I really don't remember how big a deal was made out of it in the books. Weren't they written from Bella's POV? So she talked about her own chocolate orbs?lol!




Ya, I agree with you, that Nikki Reed wasn't the best choice for Rose. In the books, Rose is supposed to be this blonde bombshell with supermodel looks. Nikki doesn't have that. I always felt that if she lost a few pounds she would have at least had the figure.


Weren't Bella's eyes mentioned in the partial Midnight Sun that Stephanie posted?

Depends on the movie and the time.  The prices I've seen go from $6.50 to around $15.00 and maybe more. The difference is in the theater, the time and the type.  Obviously, IMAX, 3D and stuff like that add to the cost.

With respect to Harry Potter, Harry's Eyes are green. Like Twilight, his eye color was a large part of the book, arguably even bigger.  I have no idea what color eyes Draco has.

Speaking about the casting, in speaking about Rose, I've always pictured her taller than Nikki Reed (or Ashley Greene, Elzabeth Reeser, or even Kristen). And I've always pictured Alice to be shorter by a few inches as well.

You are right!! It was in bloody Midnight Sun that Edward started off that whole chocolate orbs palava....I totally forgot where that came from.
And I totally agree with you about Reed, how could she have been more important than the authenticity of the film? She was hardly a 'star' coming into the project, and it set a bad precedent because then Elizabeth Reaser decided she wasn't changing her hair either....I thought I must have missed something when an unchangeable Esme was suddenly a brunette! Insane. Didn't they re-cast Victoria because of a mix-up in shooting schedules, she was on another film or something?

I heard that Victoria got recast because the original actress was bad mouthing the company.

I heard the scheduling thing too, there was some kind of unexpected overlap or something, so rather than shooting other stuff for a few days, they booted the actress.

Joke's on them, I've seen Rachel Lafevre (or however you spell it) in lots of tv stuff since then, particularly that Under the Dome show that airs in summer.

For me, the only ones who looked halfway close were Kristen, Rob, and Ashley. Ashley was too tall, but otherwise, I thought she was ok. Apparently there were no blond actors and actress in all of Hollywood willing to do this movie though. Weren't Rose, Esme, Carlisle, and Jasper all supposed to be blond?

And the wardrobe sucked too, Edward was supposed to be a real good dresser, cashmere sweaters and nice leather coats and slacks, and in the first movie he had on jeans and a plain grey tee and a boring jacket!

Eh..  In all fairness to Twilight. That was basically an indie.

I thought Nikki Reed got the part of Rose because she was the first director's stepdaughter (or the daughter of the first director's boyfriend).  She was also "best friends" with Kristen Stewart. Then everyone who signed up had to agree to allow the studio the option to make them do all the films.

I heard that Nikki Reed was related to someone at Summit or something and that is how she got the job.  If it was true, it would definitely explain how she kept the job. 

But considering how many pale blonde actresses there are with blonde bombshell looks, you would think they could have found a better one.  :P

This is what I read too... It was actually that tv series about people on an island LOL It lasted like two episodes, but she's done others since then.

Sucked because I thought she played a better Victoria than Bryce.

Nikki was one of the first to be cast. Catherine picked her right away to be part of Twilight. Her and Nikki co-wrote the indie film Thirteen together, and Catherine was "amazed by her talents" *hahaha.. she talked about it in some interview.

Sorry I should clarify that that is the average price for two people in a local cinema if you go into the West End then it can cost £10 more, and forget iMax! ...and that is before you start adding popcorn, drinks or a hotdog (which I can never see a film without)

Oh, £12/head is still steep from my side of the world. That's equivalent to two IMAX or 3D tickets. The US $10-15 is equivalent to 1 IMAX or 3D here.

What is P466 and P250 mean??

Here matinee price is $9.50 and late afternoon/evening price is $11.50.

Am from the Philippines, so P is Php or Philippine pesos. P250 is about $5.50. We only have one price, regardless of the time of showing.  Cost only differs depending on the movie (blockbusters/popular ones are at P250, otherwise it could be just P200 though that's rare), and the theather (IMAX, 3D) as reserved seats is the norm in 95% of theaters in Metro Manila for quite a number of years already. The only time a diff price is given for matinees is for plays or live shows, never for movies.

We watched the latest Hobbit last Saturday. It was ok too, lots of action which i love. Didn't notice the 2hrs 30 minutes. Luke Evans is hot even though i know he's gay.  :)

NB: Fleur was robbed!!  >:(  :D

What does NB mean again? :-\

I had a feeling Ben Haenow would win bec
a) they were all milking his sob story about him being a poor, nice guy who lives with his mom
b) he seemed to need whatever prize to be won more than Fleur
c) even if Fleur didn't win, the likelihood she will get a record deal is higher than Ben
d) didn't want to bring up the race issue but it is a reality that people still have to contend with.

It's like Kris Allen winning over Adam Lambert in American Idol. Clearly, Adam was the better singer/entertainer but he is gay and some may not be comfortable with that.  ;D Guess he has the last laugh as he has more of a career than other AI winners, including Kris Allen.  :)

I do really wish they offer Fleur and Andrea Faustini record deals as well. Would definitely want to hear the final 3 in the radio here.

Everybody was shocked when Kris Allen won including Kris Allen.   and Yeah - Adam Lambert had the last laugh.  When was the last time you saw Kris Allen?   Considering the number of times I voted for Adam that night, I am shocked also - they had a record number of votes that night.

I did not hear that rumor about Nikki. I did hear tho' that she and RP had a fling, not sure if that was before or during Twilight.

I also heard about the scheduling issue with RL and that they would not wait for her to finish whatever project she was doing. That's when she started badmouthing Twilight.
I don't think Esme was supposed to be blonde...at this point crs.
Twilight remains my fave of all the films. I guess it was more of a love story then.
Can't wait to see what they'll do with Fsog.....more focus on the love story or the kinky foolery.

Anyone seen Kellan in Hercules? He was going for the Brit accent......eh. His body on the other hand was in top form.
I live in Ga and we went to the movies last week, $30 for tickets and snacks, popcorn a drink and rasinets $15.

I heard that about RP & Nikki as well, dating during Twilight. Rumors were its why Kristen and Nikki stopped being friends... Kristen went and started dating him knowing it was Nikkis Ex.

NB mean's note (pay attention)  well (latin/Italian Note Bene) its used to call attention to what is written after it.

I don't know what Fleur or Ben's back story is because I'd watch exactly 3 episode two of which were the semi and final but I was under the impression Fleur wasn't exactly bathing in elk's milk either?  But Booked I have to 100% agree with your assessment that unfortunately minorities ( race, sexuality, disability) tend to win in less in this kind of competitions. But luckily with X Factor the losers tend to fair better than the winners, look at One Direction, can anyone even remember who actually won X that year?

Note Bene, got it. You learn something  new every day  :)
Was wracking my brain trying to guess what it meant.  :P

Yeah, fleur also had a tough time breaking into the industry. But somehow, she appeared better off "financially", though maybe not by much, compared to Ben.

Thirteen is about the only film I can stand watching K-Stew in. I was watching Panic Room (for the gazillionth time) the other day and I wanted to Jodie Foster to start force feed her sugar to just put me out of my misery, but I feel like that every time I watch it.  ^-^ :D :D
