Is the smee pronounced like Smee, the pirate from Hook?

They CGI baby they replaced it with was so unbelievable fake looking, I remember laughing in the movie theater and having a dozen sets of eyes scorn  me. Cuter? Yes. Better? Debatable. 

THIS IS WHAT I’VE NEVER UNDERSTOOD. The whole “thing” about that baby was that she aged at like 5x normal human speed. Just hire a gorgeous toddler as the 2 day old baby and it would have been fine. No creepy CGI or animatronic doll needed.

I’m laughing so hard right now. Have we all forgotten the difference between a hideous cringe and a “call an exorcist” cringe?

Does she have a younger sister named Khaleesi???

The fact is with Del Ray the specific context and content aren’t really relevant.

I love that time zones are like a mind-melter for you :p

I’m guessing a combo of the three. Plus, actual human babies are very unpredictable--one might be jolly and fine with strangers holding her, another might wig out if anybody but actual parents do. 

“she felt compelled to throw a bunch of black women under the bus” or do you think its because the women she named are all in the billboard top 50.

NOOOOOO. Oh god that is embarrassing. She couldn’t have gone with Renee, or Esmé? I actually think Esmé is a beautiful name, and Esmé Renee is perfectly normal and not cringey combo. Where was her partner when the name was picked? 

The baby has to be a sort of ethereal exemplification of her parent’s beauty and awesomeness. She’s more of a Super Special Mcguffin then a character. I think the filmmakers basically wanted to make an actual combo of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and thanks to film making magic they ended up with something so…

“Actively melting.” You and me both, dear Baby Renesmee. :-)

Leave something ugly out and see if it don’t attract haints...

So why didn’t they just hire a really pretty baby? And she def got some classic misogyny thrown at her, but she also did write one entire book where Bella did nothing but wait for some dude to show up, so it’s not like she was all about women’s lib anyway.

It turns out they were just about a decade too early for the cutest baby doll ever.

There are a lot of stunningly beautiful children in the world. Many of them have stage parent who would probably let them be in any movie for free, let alone a “Twilight” movie. Why would the filmmakers not cast a real child? Too expensive to pay? Issues with child labor laws? The baby has to do something awful that…

No. It’s fun to say, but there is absolutely no such thing as the supernatural. There is literally zero proof, ever, that it exists. In the past I didnt mind these things, but It’s the realm of snake oil and con artists, and we have WAY too many of them these days.

The whole Renesmee story was so creepy and baffling it’s like thinking about time zones or some other concept I don’t fully understand my brain just nopes the fuck out.

I worked with a woman who named her kid ‘Renesmee'. Not their middle name, it was their daughter's first name. I am reasonably certain that their middle name was 'Belle'.

Recently, having nothing better to do, I rewatched all the movies. I braced myself for the bizarre CGI Renesmee, and when she finally appeared on the screen I had an “aha!” moment. I always knew something was off, but could never put my finger on it because I had never had a baby when I saw the movie the first time.…
