New Moon Picspam
I didn't start out planning to make a picspam. I was just going to make a quick text list of the things I liked best about the film to share with my friends. Then I decided that it needed illustrations, and voila! Picspam! Two weeks later, and this is the result. I hope you enjoy! There's lots of little comments about what I enjoyed. Also, be on the watch at windsong_icons. I made lots of icons from these scenes that I'll be posting in parts over the next month or so.
"Happy Birthday"
"Mine's not wrapped, so it doesn't count."
Charlie's teasing is funny... and his playful hand raising and practically skipping away (not sure how to word that to make it less... girly?) always makes me laugh.
Edward Cullen
I love Edward's cool walking here, and I love that hint of a smile. It really wouldn't hurt him to smile more.... I know he's serious, and can't forgive himself, and all that, but come on! I also really like the song (Monsters by Hurricane Bells) they chose for this scene. It's one of my favorites on the soundtrack.
"How come Jacob gets to give you a gift and I don't?"
Love that little teasing lip-biting-ish smile Edward makes.
"Jasper! No fair with the mood control thing!"
"Sorry, Bella. Happy Bir - er, never mind."
"Can't trust vampires."
"Trust me."
The reactions of the students to R&J, especially Eric's
One thing about Eric, you can always tell what he's thinking... this scene always makes me laugh.
Romeo and Juliet
'o, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh! Eyes, look your last.
Arms, take your last embrace. And, lips, O, you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death.'
Shakespeare isn't really my thing, so I wasn't prepared to enjoy this as much as I did. I think it's Edward's quiet recitation. Also, it makes me laugh the way Mr. Berty is all disgruntled and you can practically hear him thinking "Darn. He got it right. Again." I also love this scene because it's one of the rare times you get a real smile out of Edward.
"It is my job to protect you...
from everyone, except my sister."
"Dating an older woman? Hot!"
-Edward flabbergasted expression.
- Emmett "What?"
Oh man! Gotta love Emmett... first few times I watched it, I thought he said "Huh?" instead of "Hot!" and it made me chuckle, but once I caught the "Hot!" well, it was full laughter then...
The Cullen’s
I couldn't resist putting together these nice shots of the family.
Carlisle
Carlisle is my favorite character after Edward. I love his gentleness and kindness. I thought he deserved his own little picspam within the picspam. ;)
The Breakup
Honestly, not a favorite scene, as I really don't like goodbyes, but it is kind of necessary to the story, so...
Lost Inside
I've not had a breakup, but I have experienced deep grief... and it's left it's mark on me. I know the "sit and stare" all too well. It always makes me cry when Bella starts to scream in her sleep.
"But you hate shopping."
"Girls night. Shopping. I like it. Go buy.. some... stuff."
"You don't get on the back of some random losers motorcycle! Crazy!"
Jessica's chatter is hilarious! Also, right now, she has more sense than Bella.
"Scrap Metal"
"You shouldn't have."
"Yeah... I mean it's completely stupid and reckless... when do we start?"
Bella's all prepared for Jacob to say no... and then he says yes and she can't really believe it. This is as good a place as any to say that I like Jacob better with long hair.
"I convinced you to build two wheel death machines."
Haha! The age teasing is amusing. Something tells me the fights are a common occurrence.. and I think Bella got the $5.
PizzaWrenches
The pizza/wrench throwing is pretty cool! The song playing through this scene though - it's good, but too catchy. It's hard to get out of my head.
You shouldn't have said that.
Every time we watch this scene my brother or I will say "You shouldn't have said that. You should not have said that." whenever Jake says "It's a total rush."
"How hard did you hit your head?"
Bella crashes her motorcycle so Jacob jumps on his. Also have to laugh at the "How hard did you hit your head?" line.
"With guns... adrenaline"
"that's my thing."
Though I don't really like the language in the movie, I can't help but laugh at the silliness of the whole "you put your gun down, you put your gun down, both of you put your guns down or I'll shoot you." thing going on. Also Mike's reaction when Bella tells Jake he's "really hot." is hilarious.
"I know what he did to you..."
I liked Jacob a lot more than I expected to. I thought this scene was really sweet.
"I will find the place where I can see him again..."
The Meadow... I think it's prettier in New Moon than it was in Twilight.
Huge Wolves
Had to include one of the wolves. :)
"I guess the wolf's out of the bag."
"Come on in Bella, we don't bite."
"So you're the vampire girl." "So you're the wolf girl."
"It's a wolf thing. Alpha's orders get obeyed whether we want to or not."
"And check this out, we can hear each other's thoughts." "Would you shut up? These are trade secrets. This chick runs with vampires."
"Jake's right. You're good with weird."
This is probably our favorite scene in the whole movie. It's one of the ones that we'll rewind and watch over again before continuing with the rest of the movie. There's a lot of great lines, and it's really fun to watch the whole interaction between the wolf pack. Normaly, I wouldn't make so many graphics of half-naked guys, but I have to laugh at the expressions that Embry makes during this scene... they're rather cute, if I might say.
I had to make this special extra little banner. This scene always makes us hungry. We've actually baked blueberry muffins after being inspired by seeing them this scene, more than once... even so far as to put the movie on pause to go make them.
"I've got a vampire to catch."
Hearing Damage
"Jake's hunting Victoria, and Charlie's hunting Jacob..."
This scene features my other favorite song from the movie. (Hearing Damage by Thorn Yorke.) It paced the scene perfectly. This is as good a place as any to say that I love Victoria's outfit from this movie.
Jacob on the Cliff
Cliff Diving
This was one of the few sets made just for story continuation.
"It's a wolf thing."
"No, it's a Jacob thing. You're just warm. You're like your own sun."
"I have never seen anyone more prone to life threatening idiocy."
"Bella, werewolves do not make good company!" "Speak for yourself."
I can never take this part seriously because...
one of the first times we watched it, my brother and I had this conversation.
Brother: Is he in Brazil?
Me: I think he was.
Brother: Yeah, he's in Brazil, 'cause there's Jesus!
Both: *laughs*
So now, whenever I see it, that's all I can think of, and I can't watch it seriously.
Urgency
Another thing that makes me laugh - Alice's expression of "Why do you hang out with someone who dares stick his head through my window?".
Yellow Porsche!
The Race to Rescue Edward
The little girl is so cute.
Go Bella!
She made it on time! Yay!
Volterra
Even Vampires have to wait on the elevators.
The Volturi are insane.
I really dislike the red robe on Edward and Alice's dress.
The back slam on to the stairs makes me cringe. Every single time. The rest of the "fight" is rather cool, though.
Home
The Vote
"Shut up!" makes me laugh every time. So does Emmett's response about "Picking a fight with the Volturi some other way."
The Treaty
This was another "continuation of the story" set.
Marry Me
*gasps*
