'Twilight' deleted scenes: Rightfully cut, I'd say

Twilight_lIf you’ve seen the sneak peek of three deleted Twilight scenes from the March 21 DVD release, do you think director Catherine Hardwicke was right to trim them from the final film? I’d have to say yes, yes, and yes. While in theory, a second bedroom kiss sounds like a good idea, this one would’ve taken away from the intensity of the, um, more stirring session in the movie. (Here’s hoping there are more deleted kissing scenes on the DVD for us to judge….) The bonus woods chat feels like it was in the film (and is therefore boring). And Edward taking a taste from Bella’s finger is supposed to be sexy, but sorta comes off as unbelievable and laughable (especially if you’ve seen the sexytime that was Angel drinking from Buffy). Agree?

P.S. How much do you love our blurry arty screengrab?

    Hey I’m all for watching more kissing scenes, I loved the one in the movie!!! I was hoping that “dazzle me” was in one of the deleted scenes but alas it looks like the famous line didn’t make it to movie in any way shape or form

    Mostly everything in that film was laughable so adding more to it would be pointless. It is boring enough at it is!

  • paige

    ANYTHING to talk about twilight huh???

  • Marlena

    I was hoping for a directors cut with this movie and leave in all the deleted scenes. Edward biting Bella’s finger was very sexy. He could bite my finger anytime. Even though I could be his mom….I love everything Twilight. And I’m a big Angel and Buffy fan too!

    Blood tasting scene: AWKWARD and untrue to who Edward is in the book (still kind of hot, though).
    Walking In the Woods Scene: Awkward…almost as if they decided to do the whole scene on a whim.
    Kissing Scene: Wise to cut (for story purposes) it but nice and steamy all the same.
    I wish the whole movie would have stayed truer to the book. The screenwriter should have kept a version of the chapter “Blood Type” and not have the silly field trip scene. In addition, there were too many 360 camera shots…that should have been time spent developing the somewhat playful and bantering side of Edward and Bella’s relationship.
    Does anyone know if there are more than just these three deleted scenes on the DVD?

    mandi, thank you for bringing up buffy and angel. everytime people start yammering on about bella and edward, i want to say, “Joss Whedon did it first and he did it BETTER.” i mean, come on. bella and edward can’t hold a candle to buffy/angel. and that sound you just heard was the sound of young girls screaming in unison calling for my head :)

    The finger scene was so painful I had to cover my eyes. Thank god they cut that!

    I haven’t seen the extra scenes but the one kissing scene in the movie was too xxx compared at how the physical relationship between Edward and Bella is described in the books!!!

  • katieg

    agree w/ above posts-they could have cut out the field trip. the kissing scene was great & since they only had one in the movie, one more might of helped. waiting patiently for dvd & new moon.

    Buffy and Angel are laughable compared to Edward and Bella!
    Buffy loved Angel at one point, but after that she ended up just sleeping around!
    Edward and Bella’s connection is FOREVER! They can’t live without each other!

    ea I disagree. I think the kissing scene in the movie was very perfect to the story. It showed the conflict Edward had with Bella and his desire of her and to not hurt her.

  • Heather

    Wow, surprising, people blogging about Twilight that do not like Twilight. It is amazing. You know when I see a headline for something that does not interest me, I simply do not click on it and read it. What an amazing concept. I hate haters!!!

  • Cate

    Twilight suffers terribly in comparison with Buffy. Those Twilight fans would do themselves a huge favor by renting Buffy–Bella vs. Buffy? Laughable. And Edward vs. Angel? Almost as ridiculous.
