More Useless Trivia: Hospital Bed Scene

Caption this: "Waaaaaaa". So let's all talk about our least favorite scene in the movie. I hate it slightly less now that I know what was going on behind the scenes. Word got to her agent that Kristen was being a PITA (Pain in the Ass) on the set and was having an attitude (surprise, surprise) and was being difficult to work with. Her agent told her mom. As soon as her mom found out, she called Kristen. Kristen was in the hospital bed, ready to film when her mom called. So they had to stop shooting while Kristen's mom SCREAMED at Kristen on the phone (in front of everyone). She apparently really chewed her out (according to my spy who was there witnessing it). And it was an uncomfortable situation for everyone. Apparently Kristen was crying and everything. Then, after the phone call, Kristen did that scene. So that might account for her little studdering freak out when Edward said he was leaving. I still don't like the scene, but I don't hate it as much now that I know the background story.

Spank's question to Kristen about this scene is posed in a way that probably only Miss Stewart can understand:"What? Are you se, NO! No... Ah, How? I, No... how? I don't even know you're say-. How? What are you - what are you - what are you talking about?"

The background story here softened me up for all of 30 seconds, and now I'm right back to where I began: Wanting to smack Kristen upside the head. Followed by a good swift kick at Catherine Hardwicke for allowing that to be final cut. Honestly, sullen and irritated Kristen from the rest of the movie would've been an improvement. How bad could the previous takes possibly have been??

Tubes, head positions different for Edward in different shots, unflattering close up shots of Mom, and let's not forget the stammering. This has all been mentioned above. I don't want to discuss anything but love for this movie or him. But c'mon.... man. There are parts (ok, one) of this scene that I LOVE! Who doesn't want him to say; "where else am I gonna go?" when looking at that beautiful face. Let alone the strong kiss to her forehead right after!

He had me at "hello, I haven't had the chance to formally introduce myself, I'm Edward Cullen."
Let's just be in love with our movie and forget the flaws (in public) superhero's. Trust me, ya'll know there are a few scenes that are less than perfect. I feel like publishing them to the world is admitting that this is a movie/film. And we all know it isn't! We need to be cheerleaders, not critics! Can I get an E, a D, a W, an A, an R, a D! That's spells... most delicious perfect vampire in history!

Oh, don't worry Spider! None of our comments are a reflection on Edward. Or Twilight. Or our ability to bask in the beauty of Robert Pattinson the cinematography by watching the movie on a constant loop occasionally once it comes out on DVD. So we'll let you be our Resident Cheerleader for Team Twilight Movie. I don't think any amount of goodwill can stop me from bashing discussing Kristen Stewart.



Oh, and I agree. All wasn't lost in this scene. Edward rockin' the hot hoodie in this scene made getting through the magical mystery moving breathing tubes all worth it for Spank.
