Oh no   I have DirecTV this year so I haven't been watching online, but if I come across anything, I'll let you know.

Same here. I actually remember really hating Jacob in the books. I think it was because I was an Edward fan and anything that tried to mess with the Edward/Bella relationship just annoyed me. However, after seeing the movie, I found Jacob to be a lot more likeable. He just seemed so much more warm and comfortable (which as we know is literally true) than Edward. I guess it didn't seem as noticeable to me in the books because I was just going by the picture in my head as opposed to seeing actual people. When I was watching the movie, I found myself actually annoyed by Edward popping up on screen. Who knew?!

And no, I don't just feel that way because of Taylor Lautner and his abs of steel. I swear!!

I don't know how they are going to do that movie, because one of two things is going to happen. They are either going to have to change A LOT of stuff, or they are going to have to make it a rated R film which could prevent a lot of their core audience from being able to see it. I don't know, but it will be interesting to see what happens.

Also, I found this on another site and thought it was a pretty funny recap of the book. Obviously there are spoilers for those who have not read the book, and a warning that there is some offensive language used:

Haha! That was great!

The thing is, I'm generally not really into bigger/cut guys like that, but there is just something about him. I think it's more about how caring and down to earth the character is, but the abs definitely don't hurt!!

I saw it yesterday at 5:30. My friend got us premiere seating, which means we got mezzanine seats in the theater that are just like couches. You also get to eat restaurant food and drink alcoholic beverages during the movie, so that was cool. All the fangirls were in the lower part of the theater, and our section was the 20's/30's crowd, so there was no screaming, but definitely some "oohs" and "ahhs" as well as some laughing at the tweenagers below.

Overall I liked it better than Twilight. There were still some pretty cheesy scenes, (but that is to be expected because come on, the books were pretty bad in that regard) but it had a more grown up feel than Twilight. When I was reading the books, I was all about Edward, but now that I have seen the movie, I am definitely feeling the Jacob love. I think it has a lot to do with Taylor Lautner's portrayal of Jacob. I also now have an inappropriate crush on a 17 year old werewolf. I feel so dirty... lol :embarrassed:

Thanks guys I've only ever had rescue dogs too, Deb. Before Penny and Lexi we had a Beagle named Patches.

I hear you on the dating thing, TeeJay. It's nice to be with someone, but sometimes getting there is such a pain in the butt. Being single isn't all that bad

Me too. About 3 years ago, my dog was missing for 17 days, and it was the worst 2 1/2 weeks of my life. We have a fenced in backyard, but one of my sisters left the gate open and she got out. She had gotten out before and never really left the area, but someone was setting off fireworks that night and she got scared. We put up flyers, took out ads, and took trips to the ASPCA every other day. One morning she just showed up at the door. Talk about a miracle!! Thankfully she was completely fine...just needed a nice, long bath.

Also, at the leg mohawks. I HATE when that happens!!

My babies:

The Beagle mix is the one who was missing.

I finally got a chance to watch Fanboys last night, and I loved it. I'm leaving New York to go back to Florida tomorrow, so I wanted to catch it before I left...nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? Anyway, I don't have a lot of time to give a review or anything, but I did want to say that I thought it was a funny movie with a lot of heart. I have to admit, I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies, (something that surprises and horrifies people every time that I mention it lol) so I didn't really get any of the inside jokes, but I loved it nonetheless. Of course Chris was great, and I really liked how it was mostly about 4 friends who lost their way a little bit, but were able to put aside their drama to be a part of something that they all loved. I can definitely relate to that

Ahhh, yes. Just another instance in which something comes down to money. What else is new...

Who sang that one?

I have found some of my favorite songs and artists from TV shows. Some music supervisors just know how to consistently nail it, and I love that.

Ha! I like it

Those are actually the movies I prefer. My taste in movies is so different from those of my friends that I actually end up going by myself sometimes, but my sister and one of my friends really want to see this one. I usually get talked into movies like Transformers. Don't get me wrong, I liked it enough, and we all need some mindless entertainment every once in a while, but that is so not the kind of thing I usually go for. My parents were actually shocked when they heard that I went to see it...

Mmmm Hmmm
