breaking dawn

Ok so I went to see Breaking Dawn and I know people like to shit on franchises like these, but I have to say I was impressed. While I liked the majority of the film, I think I was most taken with the transformation of Kristen Stewart from healthy, happy honeymoon Bella to dead and dying Bella.

I've been trying to find out if it was makeup and camera tricks or if she really lost a shit ton of weight to look completely emaciated. I feel like peon would've seen her that skinny and mentioned it, but it looked too real and convincing to make me 100% certain it wasn't an actual 'diet'.

I have to say that I enjoy theater and movies much more now that my eyes have been opened to the amazing world of costume by a great friend. It really does make or break a story.

Another unsung star of Breaking Dawn is Bella's wedding shoes from Alice. Did anyone else want to make love to those things?!?! I'd marry the undead and forsake my family for those shoes. Not sure if I'd birth a potential world-ending demon for them, but give me a few days to marinate on it and I'll let you know...
