New Moon Wednesday: Spoilerish

I was out of town on Monday. I had important things to do like drink margaritas, get splashed by Shamu and feed the dolphins, so unfortunately I wasn't able to get around to my weekly New Moon post on Monday. But things have a way of working out, because today some major pictures came out. They are kind of spoilerish--but I don't see what the big deal is about seeing picture from filming when you've already read the book. But just in case, I will now post a large ridiculous photo of Robward. This term refers to Rob when he is in his Edward gear but not actually filming so there is no spoiler element to this pic. If you don't want to see the spoilerish pics, don't scroll past this one. You have been warned.

SPOILER!!! DON'T SCROLL PAST THIS RIDICULOUS PICTURE IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!!

So lets get down to it. These pictures are from the best scene in New Moon. You know what I'm talking about. When Bella and Alice go to Italy to save Edward from killing himself. He is planning to expose what he really is--a shirtless sparkly vampire--in the Volterra town square. These pics capture the shirtless part, as well as the subsequent rescue by Bella.

If you would like to see larger versions of these photos, or more photos from the same batch (there are hundreds) you can click here or here. If you are wondering what the dots on Rob are, those are markers for his sparkles (LOL). And maybe I'm just a skeptic, but even though I know Rob has been working out a lot lately, I think he might have had some help from makeup with his abs. But I have to say, doesn't he look like he's carved out of marble? Nice work, Rob.

And bravo, Chris Weitz!!

I have so much faith that this movie is going to be better than the last one. I think the end of New Moon might be my favorite part of the whole Saga. In fact, when I've had a good run of bad days, I will pick up the book and turn to the part where Alice arrives back in Forks and read through to the end. This part specifically is my favorite. I love that it is the first time (but not the only time) that Bella rescues Edward. People are always complaining about Bella being a wimp and a bad role model for girls. To which I say, boo, you. She runs with a bunch of vampires and werewolves. Oh, and there are always bad vampires trying to kill her. How is she supposed to keep up? But I love that she rescues Edward in that scene because I think that is what love is really all about--in a real relationship, each person plays the rescuer and the rescued from time to time.

I digress-basically what I'm trying to say is that it is important to me that they get this scene right. And this is exactly how I pictured it.

I will close for now with a quick video of Alice's Yellow Porsche speeding through Volterra.

Have a great New Moon Wednesday!
Love,
