TA TALKS BACK: THE NEGATIVITY SURROUNDING THE NEW MOON MOVIE TRAILER
On the TA forum, there has been heated discussion about the New Moon movie trailer. TA forum member HollyJo123 weighs in:
Like the countless twi-hards I too was anxiously awaiting the release of the first New Moon trailer. I even missed most of my beloved Red Wings game because of it! So last night I sat with my laptop firmly across my lap and squealed when I saw it was on youtube! Let me just say I loved the trailer!! I got goosebumps the size of goose eggs!! Even my husband liked it and he really, really hates Twilight. I mean REALLY! So here I am all happy and excited only to have that bubble burst by reading the comments threads for the trailer.I think it’s fair to say that most people agree with me that it was great! Super! Fantastic! But there are those who are not happy with it,
and there are those who absolutely hate it. It would be wrong of me to expect every single person out there to love the New Moon trailer as much as I do. But I find some of the comments very frustrating. So much so that I want to cyber yell…. you know ALL CAPS!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!! Let me just address the major issues that I have with the negative comments.1: There is too much Edward and not enough Jacob….. What does this have to do with anything!! It’s 1 minute and 48 seconds!! What do you
want to happen? Edwards says “Ciao Bella” and then it’s all Jacob singing “If you want my body and you think I’m sexy” while showing off his 24 pack. My husband would hate it even more and it would be banned from the house!!2: Bella/Kristen isn’t crying and hysterical in the breakup scene….If you reread the scene in the book you will find that Bella does not cry… at all. She keeps saying how she feels numb. The whole scene in the trailer was 15 seconds… you can’t include much in that.
3: The wolf looks to cartoony, cuddly, and small… I seriously don’t know what kind of dogs you people have but that’s not something I want
to cuddle with! I would rather snuggle up with a Cujo!! As for the size, we won’t be able to accurately judge that until we see a side by side comparison with something or someone else.4: Why is Jake phasing in front of Bella?… Because that’s what he does… Chapter 14 page 325.. ’nuff said.
5: Why is Jake the only one fighting Laurent?…. They spliced the clips together to make it seem that way for effect.
6: It’s not like how I pictured it… It’s not going to be exactly how you pictured it because it’s someone else picturing it.
7: I’m disappointed he didn’t say (insert whatever) or I’m disappointed they didn’t show (insert whatever)… It’s a trailer!! If they added everything we want to see, it becomes a movie.
8: (insert here) scene needs to be way better…. They finished filming… moot point.
9: Where is Edwards pea coat? He should be dressed in more grays… Alice probably donated it to charity and bought him that gray shirt we saw from the first set pictures a while back. Happy! And I don’t think he would wear the pea coat to the party.
10: Jasper’s hair is awful…. I pretty much agree, but maybe they felt that was closer to the style from his time…. ??
11: Rob looks to old to pass for a 17 year old…. That’s because he’s 23! But hey if Gabrielle Carteris could play a high school student
when she was almost 30, Rob can surely play a 17 year old vampire. And for those who don’t remember Gabrielle played Andrea Zuckerman in the original 90210.12: I miss the blue tint of the scenes… Go to Hot Topic, Claire’s, or Walmart and buy yourself some blue tinted sunglasses. Problem solved.
13: The staircase is wrong in the Cullen’s house, it’s supposed to be a spiral…. Does it really matter? Is it going to absolutely ruin the movie if the staircase isn’t how you pictured it?
I feel much better now.
Talk Back to us….what do you think?
