#40 the twilight ask list
40. Do you think the movies did the books justice?
the movies are just ok, but they could be so much better. I haven't seen all of them recently, but when I watched both breaking dawn movies this fall and when I see video clips from the movies, I was like, this can't be twilight? why are the actors so... awkward?!? bella and pretty much all of the cullens are so stiff and uncomfortable in the movies, they just didn't convince me with their acting at all and I never forgot I'm watching a movie where real people pretend to be characters. some of the side characters had better actors, of course. michael sheen, casey labow, jamie campbell bower, lee pace, even bella's human friends did a much more convincing job of playing their characters than most of the main cast. I could tell some of the actors didn't even want to be there and were just doing it for the paycheck? like, okay, if you're so embarrassed to be there, why should we bother to watch you at all? if the actors have fun with their roles, it's so much better to watch. the movies left out a lot of important stuff about bella and jake's relationship and bella and edward's relationship, which made so many people who don't bother to read books make wrong assumptions about those relationships. another thing I didn't like is that the vampires just look so human. they didn't even bother to make them look like vampires, they just cast some hot people and gave them pale makeup and that was it. it should be really obvious to tell who's a vampire and who's a human, but in the movies, it just wasn't. they didn't look any different at all, and it only got worse in the final movies. also, vampires shouldn't change, but all the cullens had different hairstyles and aged like 5 years with each movie. edward looked like a normal 40 year old dad in breaking dawn 2, not a teenage vampire dad that he is. but anyway, some positive things the movie did that I liked: the visuals are beautiful, the soundtrack is really good, the way they portrayed vampires moving and jumping was actually pretty cool, and actually casting native american kids to play the wolf pack.

Slovakian sisters aka Denali coven
just a morning thought: so, they come from area of present Slovakia, but there are lots of notions in the fandom that they have Russian accents and come from Russia? I am very confused (Is it a canon with the accent, because I believe I remember something from the film or a book)
Or is it that after they lost their mother, they traveled and stayed in Russia? (Nonetheless, it gives me a bad vibe of ignorance toward geography of CEE...) My further thought is that they, unlike Carlisle who traveled to the West, traveled to the East, so they spent lots of decades perhaps centuries in Siberia, far East Asia and then eventually ended up in Alaska.
