Even Mom's Love Twilight

Vampire Novels
Ember_: maybe i am not so in love with the characters as my kid, but i love the books, and the first movie was good, altho I wish it was longer and had more details that were in the book, it has been a great way for me to bond with my daughter!!

Ember_: I can't wait. I hope they spent a bit more money on it and got more details in this time, but we really are excited.

nzleah: Yeah I know what you are saying. After I saw the deleted scenes from Twilight I realised that the movie could have been made so much better.

Ember_: I heard that's why the Director for Twilight declined to do New Moon, because they wouldn't give her the budget she felt was required for the movie. So, they got a new director and ended up over budget anyways. DUH...

nzleah: Yes you are right. The meadow scene in particular could have been made so much better. By all accounts from what I have read New Moon will be really good. We will compare notes I am sure.

In the mean time I might have to re-read the book again. haha.

lunalupine: I agree - and my daughter is sharing the Twilight experience with me. She saw the movie & loved it...but shes literary minded and wanted the books. She read them all so quickly that she decided to re-read them and savour them. Its been great to share - shes 10yrs old and just is exploring the difference between the written word & film..and yay..she prefers the written word. Maybe Ill get to read them when I get the time...but really..shes told me almost everything word for word...I feel like I already have.

Ember_: I'm told Stephenie Meyer cancelled Midnite Sun because the first five chapters of her transcript were stolen and put on the net. I haven't heard that she has decided to publish it.

lunalupine: thanks for that info shesa - i googled it for my daughter. Im sad for Stephanie - for a creative artist that violation would have been devastating and perhaps taken the original story off in a different direction. Its good that shes decided to postpone the book for now.
I cant imagine why she would have given anyone copies of the draft - what was she thinking!!! I guess she hasnt been a published author long enough to realise she is now a ripoffable commodity.
