I just got home a bit ago from an advanced screening of "Eclipse". It was pretty good...much better than Twilight and better/different than New Moon. I will share a few things, but dont want to give away too much.

1. Alot more kissing/making out than in the other movies

2. Edward shows quite a few emotions, he gets angry and screams at Victoria, it was kinda hot

3. Xavier as Riley = good stuff; I think he did a really good job

4. Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria = surprisingly good at some points

5. Rosalie's main scene/flashback = really good, Nikki's acting during this scene is good

5. Maj Jasper Whitlock = HOT

6. Edward looks much better in this movie than NM...better makeup, better hair, better clothes

7. The "sex talk" between Charlie and Bella = funny stuff; Charlie still steals every scene he is in

8. Jessica's speech = pretty good

9. Bella and Edward in graduation caps = horrible

10. The action/fight scenes were very well done

OK, I will stop now

ETA: I dont really consider these spoilers, so that is why I didnt put them in the comments, but if the Rangers feel different and want to change it, I understand.

Forbes Article About Kristen Ranking 66th on Forbes Celebrity 100 List

The films also created three insanely popular movie stars: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Pattinson makes his debut on the Forbes Celebrity 100 this year in 50th place with $17 million in earnings. Most of that is from the Twilight films where he plays vampire Edward Cullen. But Pattinson also starred in the film Remember Me, which was a modest success at the box office, and he’ll appear in the film adaptation of Water for Elephants opposite Reese Witherspoon in 2011.

Kristen Stewart, who plays Bella Swan, also debuts on the list this year. Because Stewart has fewer non-Twilight projects than Pattinson (her only other recent work was in the tiny film The Runaways where she starred as Joan Jett) she earned $12 million between June 2009 and June 2010, ranking 66th on our list.

Both stars were paid relatively little for their initial work on the films but they have become indispensable to the Twilight franchise. That means they can both ask for pay raises for upcoming movies. The final book, Breaking Dawn, will be split into two films, which will give Stewart and Pattinson the opportunity to double their upfront pay for their final Twilight work.

So, everyone here has these awsome gifs. I do not. This makes me a sad panda. Does anyone know how to make my gif small enough to post?

I am tecno-challenged. I would post pictures of Teh Pretteh here, but I have no idea how to get a pic to post here. They are on my desktop...

We all know that Edward plays the piano. So are there any fics that involve any art form or music as a major aspect? Please provide the link to them. I need twifics bad!

Is anyone attending the Eclipse screening on Tuesday (the 29th)?  It's a benefit for Alex's Lemonade stand and I think it is the only pre-screening before the opening.  I went last year and had a great time.

Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz surprised us last year and auctioned themselves off (well, not really themselves. Dinner with them).

EDIT: I can't figure out for the life of me why the picture is sideways...

So I'm thinking about starting a new fic and thanks to some awesome suggestions that I picked up in a previous campfire (can't find the campfire right now but it was asking about rarely rec'd fics), I can't decide which one to start. 

My choices are...

Walter Cannon's Theory, Expanded by Temptation's Girl

The Wedding Party by spanglemaker9

I Don't Exist by rachael1042

or Stampede of a Thousand Pulses by ss10

Please help me decide which one of these to jump in to.

This is my first campfire so I'm not sure if I need approval.

During the summer I work at a produce stand and spend hours in the hot sun with very little human interaction. I tend to read and listen to my ipod to pass the time. I have and re-read every book on my shelf to many times to count. I am in dire need of some book recommendations. I tend to stick to YA but I have no prejudice against big girl books. Thanks in advance!

I think he gives her a bit of a hard time at the end:

and no, rob lover is not a specialty

The COMPLETE trailer for Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows....

I. Just. DIED. 

COME ON NOVEMBER!!!

I haven't been to the forest in a couple weeks, OR EVEN READ ANY fFF IN THAT TIME!

Shocking, I know.

I don't know how I've survived.

I finally get a break from everything, and come to visit, and I've not only missed playing tag with everyone by a day, but I check my email to find....

HARDLY ANY UPDATES FOR FIC! :O

Someone hit me with a good ole quickie to fill my time before I have to get back to working, yo.

Please and thank you?

So, what do we think?

Personally i kinda love it, regardless of whether it was for a part. Definately an improvement on the mullet.

Enjoy the pretty! Couple more inside :-)

Robert Pattinson was decked out in Stussy gear for a meeting in LA yesterday with Dreamworks's Jeffrey Katzenberg. The Twilight actor had time off from working on Water for Elephants, but Rob still wasn't able to leave town to promote Eclipse. His castmates like Ashley Greene, Taylor Lautner, and Xavier Samuel, though, headed out of California over the weekend and went East to continue their press tours.

I'm nosy- I wanna know why he was meeting with Katzenberg!

Several of you know I have a...fetish...for Rob's upper lip. This pic is wreaking havoc with m'panties.

Do you write fan fiction?

Post excerpts from your upcoming chapters here!

Don't forget to include a link!

Add images and/or videos at your discretion!

Hey Ladies! It's a beautiful day in the Forest today. I've been pretty absent for the last six weeks, and it makes me very sad. Work blows.

While I want updates about the drama that has been ensuing in my absence, what I really want to hear about is the things you hate that take you away from the Forest. Does work occupy your time for hours on end? Does school suck all the fun out of your life? Do your kids need way more attention than should be allowed when all you wanna do is be on ADF?

Then, tell me what you would rather spend your days doing. Do you long to spend hours on the beach? Just want to sleep the day away? Or is it your dream to spend the day rolling around in the sack with Rob? Let me know what your dream day entails.

And finally, I want to leave you with some words of wisdom from Gaga. She knows her shit. “When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl. Then I say, ‘Bitch, you’re Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today’.”

FYT:

*approved by the awesomest new ranger ever Grown.Ass.Woman*

Tomorrow (Tuesday)

Me, PreferBrunettes, WTVOC, erica_lopeezy, AND WHO ELSE???????

Who else is coming to Hollywood at 9pm for the special early showing of Eclipse before anyone else on the West coast gets to see it?

Who else is coming to have a leisurely drink with me around 8:30ish rather than standing in line with a bunch of over-enthusiastic enthusiasts waiting for a seat in a midnight show?

The Forest is dancing and laughing and giddy!

Why you ask?

Because the lovely, hilarious, talented, mostly drunk Grownasswoman is now a Ranger!

No, you haven't had too much wine.  Yes, you read that right!  Grownasswoman is now an official Ranger on ADF. 

This means you have to obey her rules and you can ask her permission for off topic posts and do anything else you might do to a Ranger.

Come in, and let us celebrate Grownasswoman becoming a Grownass Ranger!

To say we're thrilled about this would be an understatement, and we know she is loved universally, so come on in, and love on her and welcome her into her new status.

Hi y'all!  So I decided to poke my head out of lurkdom for a bit and post my first campfire...

This past weekend was better than i can put into words. I saw Adam Lambert on Thursday and that was great and all.  But then Friday and Saturday I was up in Boston for TWLOHA's MOVE Community Conference.  The people I met there and the conference itself was the most amazing thing.  I highly recommend that anyone interested in TWLOHA's mission attend.

And then there's this ...

I was playing around with the new site. Trying to find some fics to read while up in Boston by myself this weekend. I'm not sure if it existed before but I just found the "unread chapters" list... ah, heaven. I love this! So many times I can't remember if I've read a story or not which leaves me skipping it and possibly missing out on something great. So if this is a new thing: GREAT JOB!!! If this is an old thing, well it's still great. ;)

For the interactiveness: Pick ONE story that is here on ADF that is a must read?

::running back to my corner now::
