For those of us who have listened to the girls commentary, lets have a chat shall we?
Unless you have a really good memory or you cheated like I did and downloaded the DVD commentary, this probably won't appeal to you until the DVD is out. I still think it's an important topic though.
Based on what was said in the girls commentary AND the official commentary, it looks like Catherine is the reason so many important things in twilight didn't...quite...end up like we wanted.
I assume the girls know what I'm talking about if they've gotten to the commentary special feature. A LOT of things i personally had issues with seemed to be products of her "creativity". I didn't think I would be happy that we have a new director but after that feature, I'm actually pleased.
Surprisingly, kstew seemed to have a pretty good grasp of the vibe of the book even if it didn't quite come across in her version of Bella.
I think Rob did too but he was just itching to make Edward into a total bad*ss the whole time. It really makes me wonder what his version would have been like if Catherine had let him do whatever he wanted. He does angst very well.
Anyway, when everyone else gets the DVD or if you cheated like I did, let me know what you think about the commentary.
Did the actors know the material?
Did Catherine do a good job?
Are you happy we have a new director?
