*sigh* Poor, overlooked Jasper.

[shesabrandybuck]

Do you like the guy who is going to play him in the movies?

[Curufin]

So far, yes. He looks right to me, although I wish he'd use his Texas accent more.

[shesabrandybuck]

Hahaha! I havent really looked at the person who is playing Jasper...
I have dial-up, can you post a picture?

[Curufin]

Sure. Well, actually, here's a pic of all the Cullens (except Carlisle and Esme).



Jasper's behind Rosalie.

(from left - Alice, Emmett, Bella, Edward, Rosalie, Jasper)

[shesabrandybuck]

Thanks! yes, I can figure which one is which, silly. Im not particularly keen on the Emmett/Rosalie picks, but theres not much I can do. i guess i have to see them in actionnnn

[Curufin]

Jasper looks right to me. He looks kind of. . .well, uncomfortable, and he's literally as far away from Bella as you can get in that picture.

I like Emmett. Rosalie. . . well, I'll have to see the movie.

And I didn't post the names for you - I know you can tell them apart!

[shesabrandybuck]

Haha, oh! I see now. I dont like Emmett's hair, but I like the way he is built.

I LOVE the chick who is playing Alice, my image of her is just like the girl who is playing her.

[Curufin]

And there they all are. . .before they decided to let Jasper have his curls. The curls look far better than the straightness.

My opinions:

Emmett: looks perfect. I always thought of him as a 'football player jock' sort as I was reading the book anyway.

Rosalie: Well, casting the prettiest girl on earth would be difficult to do no matter what. But a lot of being beautiful is in your carriage and demeanor, which wouldn't come across in a still picture. So I'm holding judgment.

Esme: Very 'mom-like' but perhaps a little too old? She looks in her 30s there. At least.

Edward: Honestly, I think Edward looks perfect. The same look that made him perfect for noble, honorable Cedric is going to make him perfect for noble, honorable Edward.

Carlisle: Perfect. When I first saw his picture, he almost exactly matched the picture I had in my mind of him after reading the books.

Alice: She looks alright. Like Rosalie, I'll have to see her act.

Jasper: I think he looks great. Even in these pictures he looks stand-offish and uncomfortable, which is perfect.

[shesabrandybuck]

I completely agree with your judgments, except for Alice, because I think that she is perfect.

Esme does look too old, and it really bothers me.
I do think they could have found someone prettier than the girl who plays Rosalie. Yes, that chick is gorgeous, Im not saying that she isnt, but in the book they describe her as the most beautiful creature on the planet, and I dont think she really meets those standards. Oh what am I saying?! I sound horrible!!! No one could meet those standards, but you get my point, right?

[Curufin]

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I also think SM made casting her incredibly difficult when she said that.



Jasper's wearing an old-fashioned looking grey (as in The Blue and the Grey civil war stuff?) jacket. . .SO AWESOME!

[shesabrandybuck]

AWWW!! He really is cute. But, all yours , I wouldnt want to steal anyone away from you haha. I really do love Jacob...until Breaking Dawn. And I looooove Edward, but everyone loves Edward and I hate liking something everyone else likes cause thats just who I am hahaha.

[Curufin]

Edward's nobility annoys me after a while. And Jacob bothered me in New Moon. And Bella bothered me in New Moon. . .

LOL, I must be reading the books for Jasper now. . .

[shesabrandybuck]

Hahaha, looks like it
Bella annoyed me in New Moon so much.
its like GET OVER IT!

[Curufin]

Yeah, no kidding. I mean, I get that she likes him and all, but I would have left her if she whined that much too.

[shesabrandybuck]

yeah, seriously. you would eventually get over someone. GOSH thinking about it makes me aggitated

[Earniel]

I'm somewhat amused. You all like the books, but not the main character? Was she really that bad?

[shesabrandybuck]

hahaha, in my opinion......yes.

idk, maybe not that bad...

okay, yeah, i cant stand her.

[Curufin]

Main character? Jasper isn't the main character?

Isn't he the reason that Bella was so depressed all through New Moon?

Yes, I believe he was.

Therefore, he is the central catalyst of New Moon, and very, very, very important.

[shesabrandybuck]

hahahahahahaha he IS like at catalyst in some ways, i never thought of him like that
