Did they get it all? Like where "Bella" is talking to "Edward" about her dad. ERGH THEY TOTALLY KILLED THAT SCENE BURNT IT TO A CRISP!!!

(Hahaha my sis through the whole movie was like
"Pssst look at Edward's eyebrows.....there like.....CATERPILLLERSS"
She spit all in my ear which made it even more hillarious.)

Lol no... it was more tech stuff. I have the special dvd so I was really able to see what they were talking about and why. There is 1.3 sec moment before the van hits her where it was already dented , etc.

How about "Of Mice and Men"? In every movie they have ever made of it they have they got the ending right. at the end they always make George stand back and shoot the heck out of Lennie when in the book he holds Lennie close as he shoots him. that intimacy is what made the book so great and they screw it up EVERY SINGLE TIME. It drives me nuts. I cant ever watch a movie made of a book if I've read the book first because all i can do the entire time is point out in my head everything they got wrong and everything they missed.

Oh yeah I forgot about that one.... They did mess that up... but the scene where George was alone with the girl was pretty good. They actually portrayed that better than the book did.

I'd hate to bring Twilight back up but they seriously killed it. I realize the time restraints and all but they missed alot of key points in the movie and alot of the quotes were out of place compared to the book...
