In Twi-Memoriam




Today is Memorial Day and so The League wants to take this time to bow our heads and pay homage to those who are no longer with us in the Twi-World:





The Deer: Thank you for your sacrifice to provide nourishment for our dear Edward. You were so cute and minding your own business and then BAM... the chase was on and truth be told, I was kinda rootin' for you there in the beginning, but not really.

Renee's Cell Phone Charger: Why did you run way and leave? Was it the cell phone who asked you to run so that it would die and no longer be subjected to having to be in such close proximity to the fumes eminating from Renee's hairy armpits? Wherever you are, I hope you are charged up and ready for action. Be safe and don't go in the water.


The Security Guard at the Mill: Well, we're not in Phoenix anymore and sadly, you'll never get to go. You gave them a good fight, though. Did you run track? For a second I really thought you might outrun them, but not really.


Buttcrack Santa: Ahh... the perinneal favorite. You're my boy, Butt. You're my boy! I feel a special kinship with you because I too like tiny little bottles. Perhaps, though, if you weren't drinking so many of them you would have more quickly realized that such a beautiful redhead didn't really want to play first mate with you. You will be missed at Christmastime, but not really.


James: One word comes to mind when I think of you in the ballet studio with your silky smooth voice, exuding scalding hotness in those tight jeans in your bowlegged glory - bloodlust. That was what I felt when you were there and to be honest, I was a wee bit sad when Alice ripped your head off, but not really... because then I saw you in all your Camness at The Cheesecake Factory and James did not do you justice, my friend. So goodbye bad wig and hello sexy washboard abs. See you at the movies...






Well, Spank, since you took the liberty to bid farewell to all of the "obvious" lost ones from Twilight, I will pay homage to the less obvious but still important...






-the glass bowl that Rosalie crushed in a fit of rage in the kitchen;

-the apple that Edward obviously bruised when kicking it up into the air;

-the van that was dented in just for a movie effect;

-the contemporary home that was gutted to make perfect for filming in;

-the tree branches that were stripped from their tree to be in Mike Newton's butt crack;

-and last, but not least, "the worm" was not killed, but was exploited.





I'd like to pay homage to Jacob's dignity that was squashed when he tried to get Bella up from the bench and Edward told him to take a hike. Jacob, you were only trying to help poor disabled Bella and I'm sorry you were belittled and pushed aside by Edward. But not really.



Let's not forget the tree that had probably been growing hundreds of years in the Hoh Forest when Edward ripped it's branch off, just to prove to Bella that she couldn't fight him off. Sorry, wise old tree. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and were an innocent bystander. I'm sure Edward regretted it later and I hope by now your wound has healed.


I'd like to honor all of Emmett's lines that were left on the cutting room floor because, while pretty to look at, Kellan is just not a great actor. Emmett, it's not your fault your character was cast more for appearance than for acting abilities. We all still love you.


And lastly, I'd like to have a moment of silence for Jasper's bowels. Jasper, you were obviously in pain and I'm sorry Summit is so cheap that they wouldn't even buy you some Metamucil. That's just not cool, Summit.



I would like to take a moment to remember the amazing prom dress that Alice picked for Bella in the book. Apparently Alice just gave her something she bought at Macy*s for the purposes of the movie. And let's not forget Alice's short, spiky black hair. Casting seems to be very willing to take artistic liberties with this "saga."






Meadow, what are you talking about with artistic liberties for casting Twilight roles? Edi Gathegi (Laurent) looked exactly like a short haired, olive-toned Frenchman to me.








*snicker* Um, yeah, and I don't remember "Gaysian" as a description of Eric in the book, either.

robnutmeg said...

Oh wow, I'm the first to comment!

It's called sleep twiapnea...or robapnea....one something like that...

Now that was some Memorial Tribute, League.

Let me see here....what can I add:

**the blood (letting) I mean typing lab scene that was left out of the movie....we may never know what blood type Bella really is.
Come on - aren't you at least a tiny bit curious? I mean she hates blood in the book, right? But ends up drinking it in BD. *just saying*

**shiny silver volvo - need i say more?

**Edward's pcoat - may we never see it again. *on hands and knees praying -- oh plz*

**Edward's chest sparkles -- where only on HIS chest sparkles made out of glitter and glue can still look sexy. *owwwww*

**Jacob? wtf is Jacob?

**"She's not one of us", yes poor big brother Emmett - they stole his one line away. *f&&&ers* Wink @Ginger. AND then they give lines to "Gaysian". mahahahaha@Meadow.

AND last but not least!

@CH - may you get your robjollies somewhere else and stay the hell away from our Robward or our pitchforks will fly across YOUR nose!

robnutmeg said...

Hey,
@total fanpire - not fair, I wrote more than you...

Now I'm going to bed....(muttering)

I want to add:
*Jasper's abilities....he got gypped!
*Alice's involvement in just about anything...she got gypped as well.
*a real meadow scene....need I say more?
*my favorite line in the book:
Don't be self conscious, if I could dream, it would be of you and I am not ashamed! Ah yes, Edward I would love to star in your dreams......

HAHA!

*bows head*

Let us not forget the waiter at the restaurant. May her retro style never become popular.

Let us remember the poor make up job on the cast, and the bad wigs.

A moment of silence for the garden burger..

Let the congregation say..Amen..

Haha! I love this post, although my hubs is staring at me like I've completely lost my mind because I refuse to let him read your site! (I promise that it is not because I do not want you to have more followers, I love The League and all of your followers. It is so he doesn't put me in the local mental institution for loving The League and Twilight so much!)

We must also remember the numerous kisses that Edward planted on Bella in the book that were left out of the movie. (I feel it is due to CH wanting to keep Rob for herself, and can I just say 'yuck' to that!)

I love this site!

Great topic ladies. You already know how I feel about the artist liberty in the movie. (Meadow scene need I say more)

James A perfect cast. In my opinion the best of the whole cast in the dance studio. The rest just were not quite there during that shoot.

Ginger, Just because I have your back I think you are thinking Jacob but really mean Mike Newton Kisses to you

Ginger
My apologies I was thinking the blood typing scene in the book not the movie. You were talking about the prom scene which did make movie.

Sadly, I have only seen the movie...wait for it...one time! I know horrific gasps.


I do not have the house to myself that often. My Hubby works from home My family would ensue with constant snickering and peanut gallery comments that I would not be able to enjoy my Rob time..oops I mean't Edward time..

You are having a great memorial day no one is here

Don't forget the branch that they ripped of the tree to use for Alice and Jasper to come through the window on. The could even bring a real tree in, instead they brought in another dead tree, in the shape of a picnic table.
