The song for this chapter is Sky Fell Over Me by Shiny Toy Guns
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/skyfelloverme.mp3]
People have asked me if I’ve been living under a rock lately, because I didn’t post that newly-released photo of the Wolf Pack. Actually I got the photo, and I have not missed out on Twilight news. I purposely did not post the photo, reason being I didn’t want every time I come to my blog to immediately be exposed to far more… uh… Rustic Werewolf than I think any guy can tolerate. Apologies to the girls (as if you haven’t seen the photo everywhere else already).
However, not one to be left behind in the fansite news, I’ll proceed with posting it posthaste:
I’ve been warned about the fifth and sixth chapters of Breaking Dawn for quite some time. Actually, I haven’t been warned, I’ve been told things like ‘LULZ I can’t WAIT until you get to CHAPTAH FIVE!’. I don’t know what is more awkward: being one-half of a vampire/human honeymoon, or reading about it. As I read the previous chapter, I found myself waiting for that all-important moment when Stephenie writes
DEAR READER:
THE SCREEN FADES TO BLACK HERE SO WE DON’T HAVE TO SEE WHAT’S…UH…COMING NEXT.
IT’S FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT.
Seriously,
SM.
For some reason, that moment seemed very, very delayed. My AIM conversation with my friend as I read chapters 5 and 6 went something like this:
ME: UH…did that say ALL of Edward’s clothes were on the palm tree…?
FRIEND: YUS.
ME: UH…
FRIEND: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
At which point I really wanted to go read Mrs. Frisbee And The Rats Of NIMH instead.
However, I trekked on as usual — I mean come on, I’m reading a vampire romance novel, and I’ve survived thus far 😀 . Completely disregarding the awkwardness of carrying your new wife in one arm and a ton of luggage in the other, Edward has finally found a place on the planet where Bella might actually be safe from heartbroken werewolves, vengeful vampires and violent Volturi. It is quite a sad state of affairs when the only such place is on an island in the middle of nowhere off the coast of South America. If Bella ends up getting hurt here, good luck to Edward hiding her on the moon.
For some reason, I had not previously known of Edward’s ability to swim without the need for air. But then again, I suppose if you are an immortal creature, drowning wouldn’t affect you. In fact, Edward might be accomplishing this breathless feat by drowning repeatedly, but just not dying since he simply can’t. I mean, if you’re immortal, what is it like getting mortally wounded? Does it become just…wounded?
Like Bella, I shudder at the thought of Alice actually foreseeing this honeymoon. Seriously Alice: rude! I’m also curious about what the local villagers think of this strange house in the woods that is visited only on occasion. I mean, it is altogether odd that at some random time of the year, a strange pale man and a girl show up together out of nowhere, break headboards and tear apart pillows, and expect the local cleaning crew to tidy things up. Also, perhaps I am confused, but is the cleaning crew coming from a nearby place, or did Isle Esme come complete with its own set of villagers automatically trained in the arts of cleaning? If that’s the case, I might be interested in some island real estate…
At least it’s nice to see that Edward and Bella are having a decent time, in spite of their arguments and the mess they’re making. I have a feeling that these recurring dreams of this strange child won’t be disappearing anytime soon for Bella, either 😀
QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS: What movie do you think Bella and Edward would enjoy watching the most together (and Twilight doesn’t count!)?
——NOTES——
– My brother Jaden announced last week that he will also be with me at Twicon 2009! Be sure to get your tickets early before they run out!
– Summer School In Forks is having a huge call for artwork for their convention! They’re not only looking for Twilight-related art, but anything that is literature or sci-fi related. Check out more info here (I’ll be there in a few months too!).
– I received a deluge of emails insisting I keep people updated on my book, though in deference to those who come here for Twilight only I’ll compromise and keep them short. Today, I just finished some awesome new Bran Hambric widgets, and loads of cool downloads you can use on your site! Check them out at BranFans.com.

o.o
…I don't watch a lot of movies. And none of the ones I watch seem like a proper fit for them, so, I have nothing. Dx
But wooh! An actual review. LOL.
bella and edward seem like they'd like chick flicks.
they get too romantic and lovey dovey.
The Notebook. Hahaha.
So i think the movie that Bella and Edward would most like to watch is Breaking Dawn and sense you haven't finished the book Kaleb i won't say why LOL. I can't wait to read your book i preordered 5 one for me and i have some family memebers who are teachers, so they can read it then maybe get it into their schools.
They would definitely be watching Blade. 🙂
o.o first comment
wow wat honor !
lol i was waiting for your humorous comments about these chapters
hahaa
i was also surprised when the honeymoon's romantic night stopped like that…. haha
anyway. i love your blogs !!
hello from mexicoo!
mmm i was not the first 🙁
They probably wouldn't watch a romance (they've got enough of that already) or a horror movie (for the same reason). In fact, they'd probably enjoy something lighthearted and undramatic, and possibly in a foreign language (more mentally stimulating for Edward; with subtitles for Bella). I would recommend a funny french film, 'Welcome to the sticks'. That should take their mind off all the melodrama.
Or they could go with something REALLY dramatic and horrific, just to put their own sufferings into perspective.
I think SM said it was actually Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, so it was a romance.
Love the wolfie pick, but why are you looking so disgusted? 😛
Probably nice, easy-watching movies like Mary Poppins
the movie they would enjoy watching is…………………………..How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days….lol
Once again you have made me laugh. I swear, all of it was HILARIOUS. Can't wait for the next post (as usual).
LOL that was HILARIOUS xD the awkwardness for this video hahah i was expecting you to feel this way but not to show your awkwardness like that (the post before). Anyway, I felt the same way. I was like… should i give them some alone time? …. *keeps reading* 0_0 … *keeps reading* :O…. *keeps reading* >_< !!!!! lol and i Alice! hahahaha that makes it even more awkward xD
As for the kind of movie they would like… hmmm Harry Potter series heheheheheheheh (particularly the 4th one) hahahahha it would be hilarious XD “Edward! you never told me you appeared in a film where you played a 17 yr old Wizard!” hahahaha
i can't really see edward being interested in watching movies. at least any made in the past 20 years. i'm a huge movie buff and i'm always thinking ok what's going to be to plot conflict and how are the characters going to fix it blah blah blah. i'm sure movies today are nothing new or original to edward. i don't think bella would be too crazy about movies either. i think she's way too much into books. i don't know, she liked romeo and juliet in new moon. maybe she'd prefer period films like atonement. i think she'd like atonement haha 🙂
You know what? I think I like your version of the picture better than the original. And it's a good thing your roommates didn't see. That could've led to some awkward questions. 😉
Oh, Kaleb. You needn't have worried. We Mormons are too conservative for anything that would worry… anyone, really.
It mentions that they don't need to breathe in Twilight, when Edward's talking about Carlisle swimming the English Channel.
These couple of chapters have some pretty funny quotes, even if they are a little awkward for those not in the know. I remember when it first came out. We were quoting it at school, saying things like, “I bit a pillow. Or two.” And everyone who hadn't read it within the first couple days were all like, “Why are you giggling? What does that even mean?” 'Twas hilarious.
Movie… movie… I feel like getting on Edward's nerves, so… All Dogs Go to Heaven. Ahahaha… If I do say so myself, that is pretty funny. And I do say it.
Someone's probably mentioned it already but the cleaning crew come on a boat. I don't have a quote but I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere…as for a movie I'm not in a very imaginative mode at the moment so I'll leave another comment later when i think of something 😀
Buffy the Vampire Slayer!
What about Titanic!
This is a classic love film!
I guess they would enjoy it! xD
lol. I love the AWKWARD…. well, thankfully Stephenie did kinda give us the fade to black… (or some of us would have to skip some parts) As far as swimming, … well, you must have just forgotten that conversation back in Forks about Carlisle swimming to France (“Because, technically, we don't need to breathe” p338 of Twilight) But that's okay, you've had to deal with a lot (and that chapter was a lot longer ago for you than for most of your readers) And, who needs villagers? It's Isle Esme – Esme's own personal island…. I kinda doubt that Carlisle and Esme would like villagers around (it could be a little too tempting if it had been a while since hunting) Although, your thoughts on cleaning villagers are quite nice… I think I'd like a couple of my own…. hmmm…
As for the movie…. I know that Stephenie said that they were watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, but with how much Bella likes her Austen… What about Pride and Predjudice? (the new one) 'Cuz you know that Edward won't really be watching it anyway (just like when they watched Romeo and Juliet) and he always just wants to make Bella happy, and she loves her classics.
By the way, CONGRATS on your success with your book – Already!!!!!!
hey kaleb!!! u rock…
i think they would enjoy watching something like “its a wonderful life” or “walk to remember” or something like that…
btw congrats on ur book!! =)
liv on twilight!!!!!
Thank for blogging on the twillight saga. i have a great time reading your blogs
wel maybe they would like Running on empty as a movie. It have great piano music for Edward, and a forbidden love in it for Bella.
Or Jane Eyre. I think Bella can really relate to that also for the forbidden love in it. And Edward can relate to the male lead character very well. By the way the male lead character is also called Edward.
Goncrats on the up coming book. I hope he is coming out in the netherlands.
I myself been just contracted for bringing out a poetry booklet.
Greetings from the netherlands
hhhmm well let me see what film would they watch? I hav no idea i just wanted 2 comment. love ur wolfie pic but gotta say i prefer the original 😛
I guess the Underworld movies….
Hurray! I have been waiting SO long for this Chapter.
I have NO idea what they'd watch. Something older maybe?
Oh, I am still giggling internally.
Firstly I've got to say that I cracked up so badly at the wolf pack thing. I can just imagine what your roommates might be thinking if they did come in and sw you photoshopping that picture! LOL I couldnt stop laughing, I think I hit my head on the table and my mum came in to ask what the noise was about? Gosh I'm going to crack up every time I see that picture now.
Now to the question. What movie do I think they would watch? I'm guessing Romance, like the classic romance films. They watched Romeo and Juliet in New Moon and it was 1960's on which is old-fashioned and suits them both (Edward – old fashioned, Bella – books) or romance movies that are books. The type of movies that you like are similar to the books you read, so I'm guessing that.
Oh forgot to mention – cant wait for your reaction to the next chapter?? (winks)
Kaleb, you forgetful person. Edward is not breathing because vampires don't need to breathe! They only do it because A)they need to be able to smell and B) its a habit. Do you not remember Carlisle's story??
Kaure and the other guy (cant remember his name, was it even mentioned?) came on a boat from the mainland. There are no local villagers, dont you think Edward and Bella would have seen or at least heard them?
The part where Edward showed Bella the destroyed headboard was possibly my favorite pat of the chapter. The first time I read Breaking Dawn, I started laughing uncontollably.
Yay!! You are almost at Chapter 7! The title is “Unexpected.” Believe me, it is a very fitting title. It's REALLY unexpected.
I think they should watch some disney movies. lighten up their life a little.
I don't usually comment but… your awkwardness is so tangible here I couldn't resist.
Out of all your chapter reviews, chapter 6&7 put across your views most poigniantly, and hilariously. I had exactly the same reaction to you when reading these. The thing that makes me feel a little sorry for you is that I actually felt more awkward when reading chapters you haven't read yet…
Your chapter reviews have always fastinated me with their attention to detail and analytical skills, I really wonder how you will react to this book… especially since you seem to have liked everything more than me from the beginning XD
Good luck with your reading and new book ;P!
Ok, first I have to say I liked NuttyNetty's suggestion of Goblet of Fire. Too funny! So were All Dogs Go To Heaven and Buffy.
My movie pick would be Highlander. There's nothing like being immortal and hearing everyone's thoughts…oh, and marrying a mortal and watching her grow old.
They should watch Titanic. 😀 (Just joking)
I'm commenting to let you know that The Rats of Nimh was a superb story! I read that back in elementary? school. (I think). Anway, love your blogs. Funny how you faded to black when you updated the Isle Esme chapter. You did exactly what Stephenie did. How funny…
Can't wait for your book. I'm definitely buying it for myself and my daughter. (She's an avid reader, like her mother). 🙂
well I love movies and I think bella and edward should watch a comedy for once, so they can laugh a bit.
So how about
“50 first dates” with adam sandler or “Ace Ventura” with Jim carrey (probabbly edward wouldnt like that movie so much) but what i really think they would love would be “DICK AND JANE” (also with Jim Carrey)
I loved that movie and its so funny, I think edward and bella need some time off, and they need to laugh and be a bit childish for a change, I mean they are still young…well technically not but u know what I mean =D
Well, first I have to say that in the first book (Twilight) Edward tells to Bella that dr. Carlisle tried to kill himself when he knew what he had become.
Carlisle tried among other things, to drown himself. But that failed because he didn't need to breath. (I say this to you in a not critical way… of course).
-Now that that is out…. I think they could enjoy to watch the movie “A walk to remember”. Or that's a sad story, but anyways, I'm not quite sure, perhaps “Blade” ? 🙂 Or maybe “The Illusionist”, I totally love that movie.
And I totally love to read TwilightGuy 😛 🙂 It was so funny to read what you had to say about chapter 5-6… lol! 😀
I thought the exact same thing about Alice seeing Edward and Bella “on their honeymoon.”
Also, I'm so excited that you're finally getting into breaking dawn but I'm so upset that this site will be over. I will miss all of your jokes and pictures. They always make my day. 🙂
“seven brides for seven brothers.”

question 21
Wuthering Heights the movie lool
OR Romeo & Juliet
!!!
please say SOMETHING about chapter 5 XDXDXD
lol
Poor Kaleb. I can just imagine your horror as you read the last two chapters. As much as I love this book, I felt rather awkward, and I didn't have any obligation to blog about them! I like your compromise. Chapter 5 Isle Esme: AWKWARD. lol.
I do have a question about the wolf pack now though…is Solomon Trimble no longer playing Sam??? Or do I just completely not not recognize him in the picture with shorter hair?
I love your version by the way. And it's definitely good that your roommates were out. That could have looked…bad.
Haha…I bought Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH yesterday, and am reading it right now, rather than keeping up with you in BD. Despite being a girl, there are some things even I can't handle more than necessary (Chapter 5 being one of them).
I Never EVER comment on a post but this one i really couldnt resist..
Your version of the wolf pack is so HILARIOUS! seriously.. i couldnt only imagine too well what your roomates would say,
1:”Kaleb, Should We Leave You Alone?”
You:”NO! im just doing this for my blog”
2.:”Are you coming out of the closet now?”
You:” No… this is for Breaking Dawn!”
1:”Arent you getting a bit obsessed lately?”
You:”Edward and Bella are HAVING A REAL HONEYMOON!”
2:”Gayy”
You:”:@”
Haha
As for the movie…. I Think they would enjoy… Maybe The Notebook… Because Its Really Romantic..
Or Something Comedic.. You Know Because They THINK That All The Dangers Are Over And That They Dont Have To Be Worried Anymore..
Except Something “Unexcpected” Happens In The Next Chapter..
Trust me It REALLY IS Unexpected
Sorry if This Contains Any Spoilers Or Anything..
Not My Fault.. Well It Is Actually My Fault But…. Never Mind
Anyway… As For Your Book.. I Am Definetly Buying It!!!!!!
And Im Gonna Get One For My little Cousin..
So When You Become a Famous Author I Can Always Say.. “Oh Kaleb! Yeah.. I Used To Read His Blog BEFORE He Got Famous For Writing Stories…You've Never Heard Of TwlightGuy?”
Cant WAIT!
Haha
(:
I thought SM did the fade to black far too soon. I'm like…wait…deeper waters? What? That's it? More! I can just imagine you completely freaking out as Edward and Bella slowly lose their clothes lol.
And for the movie question…hmmmm. Probably one that Bella really likes so that Edward can watch her reactions to it. But I can't think of one.
Oh yes, and I forgot to mention…if you think this is awkward, JUST WAIT! You have not even tapped into the uncomfortable-ness that is Breaking Dawn (don't worry, on the third or so re-read, you get used to it)
I think Edward and Bella would enjoy watching The Sound of Music. I don't know why. They would.
HARRY POTTER =)
Kaleb – this is probably the most pivotal part of the series. Now, as for the movies they should watch, well mainly Bella because Edward will just stare at her (like Scuttle says in The LIttle Mermaid), Romeo and Juliet. They have wtched is before but it's pretty close to their own lives and Bella loves it.
I wish you the best of luck with your book and am so excited to read it. Can it come out earlier? Good LUCK!
Hey Kaleb! You know I think that no one lives on that island. “I’m also curious about what the local villagers think of this strange house in the woods that is visited only on occasion.” It just has that Esme's house. The cleaners come from the main land on boat. I think Edward says he heard them coming off from the boat or something like that. I'm just saying… I'm not sure what movie Bella and Edward should watch.
Hi there
Just want to say that we already know that vampires do not need necessary to breath it's just a habit: we learned that in Twilight chaptre: Carlisle (he crosses the sea to go to France).
Voila 🙂
keep up the good work 😉
Kaleb, you are awesome! xD
Maybe Bella and Edward could watch “Last Tango in Paris” like Rob and Kristen did together LOL
I can't wait for you to read chapter 7. And just wait till you get to page 481… xDDDDDDDDDD
Your opinions on the chapters are always great! You point out things I haven't noticed even though I've read every book at least 5 times…
i think they should watch “dracula” 🙂 haha, though i doubt edward would enjoy it much.
or, you know, harry potter. because lets face it: EVERYONE should watch and read harry potter.
can't wait until you get to chapter 8 (think its 8… yeah, its 8) because i bet you'll really love the change the story takes there 😀
oh, yeah. you haven't even STARTED on the real awkward-ness yet. not that i dislike breaking dawn (i've grown used to it) but the first read through of it is… interesting.
omg kaleb ur hilarious..
DODGEBALL IS WHAT THEY SHOULD WATCh
in all seriousness Edward needs a little comedy in his life.. mabye BElla would even enjoy..although it is a total Emmett pick
“I have a feeling that these recurring dreams of this strange child won’t be disappearing anytime soon for Bella, either.”
*big grin*
uhh..maybe they should watch…..a comedy. yeah.
