Breaking Dawn Part 1 (WTH? Part 1?)

Nov 19, 2011 22:04

Ok, so this continues my initial impression of Twilight- terrible literature, watchable movies. This is also the first time reading the books where I felt that I was actually reading horror, and an interesting take on body horror.

Massive spoilers for Breaking Dawn, and the rest of the Twilight. Also, I'm a pro-choice lady, and I talk about my ( Read more... )

Thank you bb! *blushes happily*

It just makes me frothy that he is so. Damned. Abusive. And still seen as such an attractive guy. I'd be changing my number and moving to another state, not mooning over him.

A+ icon, bb!

I love you so hard.

Also, I wish you were my car on the way home so you could've heard more obsessing about defining sex as heterosexual penile-vagina intercourse, teen sexuality being intertwined with fear, and that abusive boyfriends aren't good communicators (duh).

I couldn't even bear to explain how Bella blacks out for her child's babyhood and wakes up to a five year old who sleeps through the night and doesn't even register a sense of loss that she missed the beginning of her child's life.

Can we rewatch the Baseball scene instead of going to see part 2?

YES REWATCH THE BASEBALL SCENE. ALL OTHER SCNES SUCK IN COMPARISON TO THAT SCENE. IT'S LIKE WHY DO PEOPLE EVEN BOTHER TO FILM OTHER SCENES.

I hadn't even thought about Renesmee's childhood like that, but it is rather sad. I would be heartbroken if I had missed Teddy's younger childhood. I try not to be all 'rawr! natural childbirth! breastfeeding!' at every opportunity, but SOMETIMES THEY MAKE IT SO HARD NOT TO.

Other people raise her baby for her--she misses out on all the hard parts! I mean, watching you with Ted, there's A LOT OF HARD PARTS in the first two years. I can't imagine the first five. Like, how does that child learn anything? Does she just come out with fully formed language skills? A sense of right and wrong? Knowledge of good behavior? Boundaries? My mind, 'tis boggled ( ... )

I love hunting through my memmed icon posts, you don't even know. I am ON IT.

I know about the first few years, it's been stressful and I feel like I fail. ALL. THE. TIME. But damn it, I'm trying. And everything worthwhile is hard to get and hurts while you're doing it. (This thought got me through grad school and labor.) Just swanning in every so often wouldn't do it for me.

Renesmee has no real boundaries. She doesn't like actually talking to people, just showing them pictures. CREEPY.
