S' I So your whole group had >f| 9 me books before then? gj Re had one guy who d it, one was too drunk . «member his opinion and [rest of us liked it. Most k | could name several of il Rations in the film. In A Bn to the greenhouse at jkamas, rtllU and the parking g! Kglllclb, U1C paiKUl^ I dlairmont. 01 Khat ’ s pretty cool! I bknat the entire movie ||filhied in the Northwest, it’s as it should be. The jngpf Forks, Wash, is very iatablc for anyone who’s ■rlelfoot in the Northwest, t 1 ¡especially for those of m " ------- like ■ who ” live in areas A Jtland where there is an lolylmount of rainfall! Il like the rain, thank you 111 J mr > Beldo I just not for nine li nths straight out of the « r. Ilcan understand Bella sing the sun. I So, I love all the book ref it iceslthat are in the movie, id of worried though that ii ’s going to hurt non-book experience. il There really wasn’t a 1 ile loi that was adapted for the script, and the style used was so familiar to the book. While I personally like that, I agree that it’s going to be harder for people who haven’t read the books to understand. JS: The audience at Bridgeport was clapping hysterically whenever one of those book moments happened. EW: The book does a better job at explaining things through the use of Bella’s point of view. Without us being able to know what she’s thinking, it’s harder to connect everything. Plus there are the references to the books that Twilighters find humorous, but complete ly pass over the heads of the rest of the audience. JS: Like Edward’s ending line about Jacob Black... EW: That line of Edward’s about Jacob Black really was priceless. Double meanings for the win! The audience was pretty quiet most of the. time, but in a rustling way as if everybody was hanging on each and every-word. Before, when every preview was start ing the 16-year-olds would shriek because they thought it was the actual movie. JS: My audience waited until Edward actually appeared before the real noise began. EW: When the movie really did start, they did it again, until somebody yelled, “SHUT UP.!” Then people promptly quieted down and made hush- ing noises to bring the theater to as close as possible to utter silence. JS: I was so.worried about the casting but they didn’t disap point. EW'. In my opinion, Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart’s performances were flawless. It was really easy to tell that both of them KNEW their characters. JS: Oh yeah, remember when they were on campus that one day filming? EW: How could I forget it? I haven’t washed my right hand since. JS: Me neither. EW; Just kidding. It was pret ty cool to get to meet Robert Pattinson though and shake his hand — his cold vampiric hand. JS: You have no idea how many evil looks I got when I admitted that I shook Edward’s hand. EW: Oh, trust me, I know. JS: One of my fellows yelled it to the whole theater when we walked in. She pointed at me and shrieked, “She MET Rob Pattinson!” EW: I can just imagine all the icy glares, and I’m sure every one of them was thinking, “That BITCH!” JS: I had to offer my hand as a item of worship to a crowd of fanatics. EW: That must have been an interesting experience; I can’t say I’ve actually had any fan girls pay homage to my hand yet. * JS: The movie was entertain ing, well cast, well acted and it made 70-something million dollars. Let me Google that number real quick... 69.637 million dollars on opening weekend. And I have read that Summit Entertainment now has the rights to “New Moon” and “Eclipse.” Does anyone else see more movies in the near future?

A Ine from the movie was filmed at Clackamas on the JS: I heard Stephanie Meyer herself was in the movie. You know, like Alfred' Hitchcock is always somewhere in the background of his films. EW: That is what I heard too, but she remained illusive to my eyes. JS: I -forgot until the credits Photo illustration by Kayla Berge Clackamas Print started rolling. EW: I didn’t remember until most of the way through the movie myself. JS: I’ll just have my sister look for her for me when she goes to see it with her friends. EW: Sounds like a plan. Or we could go see it again? JS: That too. EW: Because that wouldn’t be creepy or fanatical at all. JS: No no, of course not;. LOL. So overall, we agree that we like the movie and other fans of the books will also like it, yes? EW: Yes, I believe we do. JS:' I mean, there are little things I would personally change. Like Victoria’s hair could have been redder, some lines could be added, but I can count all those on one hand. EW: But overall, it was much better done than most film adaptations of books. JS: So yeah, as a fan I give it a 9.9 out of 10. EW: Yes, most definitely. JS: Are you ready to go to bed and dream about gorgeous vampires? EW: Oh yes! JS: I don’t know about you, but it’s 1 'in the morning and my vampire-filled dreams are calling. Suffice to say, we love it. Go see it if you’re a fan. And if you hate this genre, go see it anyway. One person in twelve did not like the movie and he didn’t even have to pay for his ticket.. - EW: Don’t prejudge it because it’s about vampires.. JS: Or because it’s romance. EW: Not everybody will like Twilight, but there is the possibility that anyone will. Ready to call it a night? JS: Yeah. Sleep tight and dream of Edward tonight... standing over you watching you sleep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------- 1 Stuff yourself silly on world class stuffing Sauté and bake your way to a first class Thanksgiving favorite ^■rld Famous Stuffing 1 b. of pork sausage llliedium-sized onion X H talks of chopped celery I medium carrot, grated | tbsp, olive oil 1 arge package of bread cubes : 1 cup Craisins ■ ‘A cup walnuts Black pepper, to taste 8 1-tsp. thyme ■ Uup chicken broth mwegg Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
