Best moment of the press screening: Jacob aka Taylor Lautner randomly removes his shirt for the first time to show off the muscle he had to achieve for being a proper CGI-werewolf (and how will the poor guy ever get rid of this stuff again?), the female half of the audience collectively breaks out into hysterical giggling. No male voice could be heard.
All in all, seeing Taylor Lautner running around shirtless for most parts of the movie, RPatz surely chose the clever way, letting the make-up people just paint a sixpack on his belly. Although all the sparkle couldn't fool me. Sparkle and breast-hair, btw, still don't mix. And all that hanging around in bars that gossip reports? Is totally saving on the make up costs. After all, Edward is hung over with red-rimmed eyes for the whole movie. As is Bella. A lovely couple.
The Volturi, on the other hand, look like Elrond's Council has got fashion advice from Lucius Malfoy. Including one little Draco-look-alike, who has all but two sentences to say but reportedly is the new star on set. Because he looks like he takes a shower from time to time. Ah, no, forget this: because he looks like he puts on fresh face powder and heavy cologne from time to time.
So, yes, it was fun in a finger-pointing way. Having seen this, I'm totally ready for giving birth. The non-Twilight-way, I might hastily add.
New Moon, as was Twilight, is an easy book to make a movie of: next to no plot, no need for cuts that make certain fans weep (Tom Bombadil! Dobby! ... oh well, sometimes a cut is not the worst thing, isn't it?). The only thing that was cut was a lot of Bella's rambling about the gaping hole in her breast (luckily I already seem to have repressed lots of it). Now for dramatic reasons she only writes random emails to Alice's long extinct email account... well, that's Bella for you.
