I heard that a longer trailer (or the same teaser one) is attached to The Dark Knight.

I re-read the first book because i'm going to a discussion on it tomorrow at the book store and keep falling more and more in love with it.

I don't know how to make it so the video plays in the thread, but there's a link, and here's one to the "E" exclusive from last night:

Yeah, so yesterday I started watching what I thought was the trailer, but it was the ET exclusive, and there was some footage that I shouldn't have seen, having not finished the book. I pressed the stop button right then. But, I will watch the trailer right now.

*******Watching trailer*********

Maybe I had seen that with sound last time...? I don't remember. Anyhoo, I don't think that Edward flies in the book...at least not in the first 8 or 9 chapters......?

PeterPanfan · Post by **PeterPanfan** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:43 am

He doesn't fly, I think they just wanted to make it..."cooler"?

blackcauldron85 · Post by **blackcauldron85** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 9:15 am

Ohhh...gotcha!

Jasmine1022 · Post by **Jasmine1022** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 8:13 pm

haha that bothered me too!

highlight: i thought they put flying in instead of the running, but they do both. ugh, whatever. oh, and ppf...edward is too cool to fly, not too uncool. get it right. lmao.

<3333s edward.

I hope you have all read the assigned chapters. Questions will be up shortly.

Jasmine1022 · Post by **Jasmine1022** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 6:52 am

I'll post my questions after you do, PPF, 'cause I want to make sure they're not the same XD

PeterPanfan · Post by **PeterPanfan** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 4:50 pm

Sorry, I was out all day.

Questions:

1. What are your thoughts on the Cullens? What secrets do you think they are hiding?
2. Do you think the Cullens are kind, or evil?
3. Do you think Bella will go for him in the end?

Jasmine1022 · Post by **Jasmine1022** » Thu Jul 17, 2008 6:51 pm

umm...i think edward might be a vampire...

and i think the cullens are nice...in a way. at least edward is...if not mean sometimes, like everyone.

i think he might go for her...maybe.

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 1:43 pm

First question: Something dark and twisty, but I bet it's cool!
Second question: I think we can trust Edward and maybe Dr. Cullen but I'm not so sure about his siblings.
Third question: Yes, after all, there are more books in this series.

blackcauldron85 · Post by **blackcauldron85** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 2:50 pm

1. What are your thoughts on the Cullens? What secrets do you think they are hiding?
I think that they might not trust people outside of their family. I think that they might not be a normal family...

2. Do you think the Cullens are kind, or evil?
I don't think that they are evil, and we don't really see them interact with others (except for Edward, who does), so I don't know if I could call them kind. Maybe they're just misunderstood...?

3. Do you think Bella will go for him in the end?
If this means will Bella fall for Edward, then yes, I do. Even now she is definitely interested in Edward...even if not in a romantic sense now, she's intrigued by him.

So, my copy of "Twilight" was from the library, and it was due yesterday. I couldn't renew it because there was a waiting list with 68 people on it...

So I probably won't be participating in the "Twilight" discussion much. I wish that I had spent more time reading the book...I really liked what I read. My bad.

Dottie · Post by **Dottie** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 3:55 pm

Try amazon.com. It's only 6$ since the 4th one in the series will be released next week and people are going crazy already. Or maybe your local bookstore might have a special offer where you can get it for like 8-10$.

blackcauldron85 · Post by **blackcauldron85** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 9:45 pm

I could buy it...I really did like it, so I may in the future, but right now I really need to save my money- I've spent way too much lately. In general, though, for the books I read for the book club, I just want to borrow them from the library, because it could get expensive to buy each book, unless it's a book that I know I'll want to read again later...

I'll think about it, though!

Thanks, Dottie!

Well, my having to return "Twiglight" before I was finished with it kind of killed the book club, I think.

I am going to buy the "Twilight" series of books eventually, so maybe we all can talk about it then...

I was at the library on Tuesday and took out "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer. It's about the true story of a man who left everything behind and went to Alaska. A movie based on the book came out last year. I haven't seen the movie, but I'm extremely interested in the story, so I took out the book. If anyone would like to also read the book, we could discuss it here! If not, no biggie!!!

My sister read that last year for a book report and I decided to start it when she was finished. It really didn't hook me in the beginning. I felt that it was boring IMO. I'm sure that you can come up with your own feelings toward the book but I certainly didn't like it. Though I heard the movie was good (and transcendalistic [don't ask, something I learned in school]).

Anyway, I'm finally reading a book (I know shocker!) that I want to read. It's Neverwhere by Neil (I think) Gaiman. I really like it so far (I'm about 1/3 way through). If anyone has read it, I think Door is such an interesting character as was the Rat-Lady though she unfortunately died. The main character and his problem is pretty boring but I really like the rest of the book. Right now I'm swamped with Huck Finn but once I get the chance I'll definitely catch up on Neverwhere (I have it checked out from the library to the 28th).
