I think I just made that word up. Not as in 'word up' (homie), but Obsessiveness. Or maybe to make a real 'Dubya' out of it, I'd just ad '-ity': obsessivenessity. Perfect.
Ok, I'm totally copying my friend Allie (who rocks) with her alternate casting for Twilight. I'm not so young or hip as to know who young actors are, so I'm going with what I know. A work in progress. Please, please make your contributions. What do YOU think???
Bella: cast fine, but I like Allie's suggestion for Danielle Panabaker as well
Edward: Hayden Christensen (um...brooding look? check) or a guy in my ward at church (I know...scandalous, huh)
Also, I'd like to add a couple of overly popular songs, but they are soo, sooo appropos:
Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis
No Air - Jordin Sparks w/Chris Brown
Bella: cast fine, but I like Allie's suggestion for Danielle Panabaker as well
Edward: Hayden Christensen (um...brooding look? check) or a guy in my ward at church (I know...scandalous, huh)
Charlie: this guy that Allie chose... I can imagine him turning purple. Or Will Patton (far left).Renee:
Jacob: I like who they have (for a young Jacob)
Carlisle: Aaron Eckhardt or the guy next to him from 'Wings'
Esme: Jennifer ConnellyAlice: well cast
Jasper: what is UP with the guy's hair in the movie poster????! How about Wentworth Miller...or Jesse Spencer...just plug and playEmmett:
Rosalie: Scarlett Johansen

PERFECT!!!! I love your cast. Obviously, Hollywood chose the wrong casting agents.
I love who they have for Bella. She is totally who I was picturing in my head while I was reading the book. Hayden Christiansen would have been a good Edward, but I have to admit...the guy they chose is slowly growing on me. (I would have loved to see Shane West play Edward also. The Emmett I pictured was more bulky/muscular. The Jasper, I agree, is so not what I pictured...his hair is weird! I hope that I am not going to be too dissappointed with the movie after having read the books so many times while dreaming! sigh...
Ok, thank you. And, I could pick any guy from my gym as a better Emmett. But at this point, I'm liking that it's an indie crew...even if they're not quite the eyecandy I'd expect.
Edward is growing on me, too.
good thing I don't belong to your gym, not a good thing with a hubby in Iraq. Not a lot of eye candy in CO! I have a great idea, meaning how Audrey totally got me hooked last year on the books, I think we should all have a girl's weekend and see the movie together. I'm thinking after 7 mos of being a single mom, my hubby would be more than willing to be a single dad for a few days!
I think Hayden Christensen is gross. Sorry - but I actually like who they've got better.
I like Jennifer Connelly and Scarlett Johanssen for Esme and Rosalie though. I think who they've cast for Rosalie just isn't pretty enough. (mean, I know)
I think Carlisle is supposed to look twentyish - so I think Aaron Eckhart is too old looking - sorry.
And yes, Jasper has weird hair in the movie.
All working for me as currently cast: Emmett, Bella, Charlie, Alice, Jacob and yes - shoot me - Edward.
Jodie,
What fun! Where are you thinking? Of course, I'm thinking TX, but I'd do VA...
Samantha,
We'll agree to disagree. However, the Edward that's been cast is growing on me, too.
Ben wants me to let you know about twilightmoms.com if you haven't already discovered it. (Apparently Ben is a twilightmom)
Unfortunately, I've already been there. And laughed. Has he read the intro? If no/so, it's on the side bar of my blog cuz it makes me laugh every time I think of how girlie I'm being.
Did you hear the good news?@!??
The Twilight movie has been moved to theaters for the November 21st slot! Yay!!!! Woo Hoo!
Rachael, I'm loving your obsessiveness! Let's all go see them movie.
I'm apparently loving my obsessiveness, too. How do you like the playlists? Sigh. Reading twilight again.
