Unfortunately, more vampires

Ok, before everyone sends me any more questions about it. Yes, I have seen the Eclipse trailer preview... or, the 10-second preview of the trailer preview. I think it's strange that they decided to release this 10 seconds of footage on Wednesday instead of last week or something. A 90-second teaser trailer will be available tomorrow (Thursday), and then the full trailer will premiere before Robert Pattinson's new movie Remember Me on Friday.

I have just a few things to say about it. First, whoever did this 10-second teaser trailer should be fired. Second, whoever did the original editing for the Eclipse first cut actually WAS fired. Third, yes Jacob looks hot against that mountain... that's why they shot the scene. It's a token meat shot. Fourth, why is Robert/Edward speaking so sloooowwwlllyyy? is he trying to seduce her when he's speaking? Oh wait, of course, duh. Fifth, I do not like the new Bella wig.

The firing of the original editor can mean two things... it either means that the movie as it stood was amazingly horrid because the editor tried to do something unique to them as opposed to faithful to the books, OR it means the footage that the editor had to work with was crap and we're in for disappointment. I'm hoping beyond hope that the fault is of the editor wanting to leave their mark and turn the saga into something it isn't. IF that's the case, it can be fixed. I can understand Summit dismissing them for that. They brought on the editor that put the first film, Twilight, together. The reason that I'm afraid it might be related to footage quality is because there has been very little positive feedback from the actors regarding the third film's director, David Slade.

You might recall (or you might not if you're less of a loser than me) that David Slade was one of the most vocal directors AGAINST the series when it first came out. He basically trashed it for being teenage angst driven and full of premarital suckling and dry humping. He also didn't like the brooding, but frankly, that's what vamps do. Suffice it to say, the fans were a bit worried when the guy put his name in the hat for the third. I'm going to assume he saw the light (aka the dollar dollar bills, ya'll) and decided to jump on the bandwagon. The trouble with that, however, is that while he's a talented director... people should be worried that it won't be as true as the first and second. He made it very clear he doesn't care about the book version. So we'll see. If he is properly whipped by his studio, we'll be fine. If not, the blogosphere will explode with angry tweens and TwiMoms. But I'm glad Summit was willing to bring down the axe when the first cut they saw wasn't up to par. Now let's just hope there's enough good footage available to be pleasing for most viewers. I'll give a final preview opinion after I've seen more than 10 seconds... hopefully the one I see this Friday will have some of the action with the newborns.

Also, bunnies imitating Twilight.
