Thankful List - Twilight Edition

En España no se celebra pero hoy es el último jueves de Noviembre, es decir Acción de Gracias en EEUU. Y como muchas de nuestras páginas de referencia son yankis (con todo el amor del mundo) hay que hacer mención a un día tan especial porque: a) probablemente hoy va a ser un día flojo de noticias, b)nos da la oportunidad de recapitular con entradas como ésta y c) Robert y Kristen lo van a celebrar juntos en LA (tenía que decirlo, es grande!)

1. I am thankful for Stephenie Meyer and her kick-ass dreams. Without Queen Stephenie, none of us would have any of this. I am 100% thankful for Stephenie Meyer. Like Kerry says, without her, we would have no world of Twilight or anything of the other things on this list.

2. I am thankful for Summit Entertainment, for buying the rights to the movie, for saving it from the truly awful demise the previous holders had planned, and for getting the ball rolling on bringing our favorite love story to life. I refuse to even contemplate where we'd be without Summit. (Visto así, habrá que dar gracias, vale)

3. I am thankful for the wonderful Twilight blogging and fan-fiction communities. You filled my need for more. This is one of the reasons that I am so thankful for Twilight. I have met some of the most wonderful people in the world because of it.

4. I am thankful for Bella and Edward, for rekindling my inner romantic. I'm thankful to them for reminding me what love feels like, and how bad it hurts when you lose it.

5. I am thankful for Catherine Hardwicke. She put together a amazing cast to bring all of these characters to life. She listened to Rob and decided against the extensions. She listened to Kristen about casting Rob. Without Catherine, we wouldn't have Rob as Edward, and where would that leave Twilight?

6. I am thankful for Chris Weitz, for taking New Moon to a new level, for raising the bar for the future movies. For seeing that Taylor IS Jacob Black. For a beautiful, emotionally powerful movie, that has gotten me to the movie theater more times in the last week, than in the last year. I. Love. Chris. Weitz.

7. I am thankful for the entire cast, for getting your characters. Especially after New Moon, you are all who I see in my head when I read now. Every single one of you. And for staying real, despite the frenzy your life has become. I cannot agree with this enough. This whole cast understands and cares about their characters. And on top of that, they are some of the nicest, most genuine people around.

8. I am grateful for Rob, and not necessarily for the pretty photos. We know you're not Edward, but when the movie starts, you are, and we fall in love with the both of you. Thanks for taking that one audition, and rocking Kristen's world. Besides, if it hadn't been you as Edward, I might never know who Daniel Gale is, and that would be a true shame. I'm thankful for Rob too. Thankful for someone who was willing to take on Edward, and truly get him, understand him, and bring him to life for us. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent with us all. I love that I can watch a movie with Rob in it, and five minutes in, I've forgotten it's Rob. All I can see is the character. (Y también a Kristen, quien sinceramente creo que es el alma de este proyecto con su forma de entender los libros y servir de fuente de inspiración y estímulo a sus compañeros, sobre todo e importantísimo, a Rob.)

9. Most of all, I am thankful for our wonderful blog readers! You have taken something that started out as just my way of not covering my entire family blog with my love of Twilight, and turned it into something I never could have imagined! You totally rock, and I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful Thanksgiving!

Es parte de la entrada de Eyes of Amber y suscribo absolutamente todo lo que dice! (Más lo que añadimos aquí). Así que, feliz día de Acción de Gracias para todos (aunque no lo celebremos ;) y muchas gracias por estar ahí.
