Eclipse is finally here!
I didn't want to wait the few days it would take to get this movie shipped to me, so, even though I could have saved a couple (more) dollars at Amazon, I went over to Target to buy the DVD. Cal took this photo of me.
I watched a bit of the movie with the Rob/Kristen commentary turned on, but I got really bored. They don't say much, and they mumble and giggle a lot, and it's really tedious. I can't imagine sitting through 2 solid hours of that.
So I switched to the Stephenie/Wyck commentary, and that was pretty interesting, at least for awhile, but then I started to wonder how much it was enhancing my viewing experience to know how difficult most of the filming was and how miserable the performers were during my favorite scenes. I would have much preferred to hear more about how locations and costumes were chosen, and details about how and why scenes from the book were and were not included, instead of which backdrops were green screens and how much the rain intruded on things.
I guess sometimes it's better to just maintain the illusion and not get all the disbelief unsuspended!
