Immortality Becomes You

Dear Kathryn ,

Thanks for getting us started on this conversation, and sorry to take so long to respond! I’ve been wanting to re-read the book’s ending to refresh my memory before I started writing about the spin taken in the film. I agree with you completely – this is the movie that ignites my “Team Bella” instincts, for sure. Just as with the novel, I was delighted to see the newborn Ms. Swan living into her powers. But at the same time, this was where I thought the movie fell short.

Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies

Kathryn and Natalie both posted separate takes on The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I. Read Kathryn’s post below. You can read Natalie’s post here. And check back soon for a conversation between them.

Dear Natalie,

Well, here we are. Over two years after we started this blog around a conversation about the Twilight books and Breaking Dawn is finally in theaters. Not all of it, of course, but we are finally getting to the best part about the series and for my money this was hands down the best film and I thought it was nearly perfect. Perfect, that is, not as a film to be compared to all other films, but perfect as rendering the internal feeling of Meyer’s book better than Meyer did herself. I think I remember correctly that we both loved the final book best and I’ve been waiting, sometimes with kind patience sometimes with annoyed exasperation, to get through the other films to this one.
