Twilight Movie (Mark Spoilers?)

I'm all tense over the Twilight movie coming out Friday. I want to seeeeeee it! ARGH!

Sad thing is, I read the book a week ago. And then the next three of the series over the course of the week. I read all four books in six days, and it only took me that long 'cause I work full time.

Anyone else as retardedly excited as me?!? This is absolute crack.

Also, how do you feel about the casting? I'm going to be too lazy to look up the actors' names but... I don't find the actor for Edward particularly attractive, but he does the sexy eyes so freaking well that I'm down with it. And his voice is perfect. His face isn't great but his acting makes him hot, I guess.

I love the actress for Bella though. She's better than the book's Bella, I think. The book's character could be such a tragic little princess, which could get kind of pathetic. The actress for the movie adds a bit of strength that I didn't think came through enough in the book's character.

Emmet is also hot. Alice isn't pixie-ish enough. Rosalie is a Latina that they made into a pale blonde, which just looks bizzare, and Jasper looks like a scary fish dude. I don't like the actress who plays Esme, but the guy who plays Carlisle is cool. Jacob is foxy and I liked the Charlie.

ARGH I HATE HOW ADDICTED I AM TO THIS CRAP! I AM SUCH A GODDAMN GIRL!

Whenever I see Cedric Diggory in the ads for it I really just want the next HP movie to come out :(

Hahaha, Shlup, me too. xD I have midnight showing tickets on Thursday night.

I think Edward Cullen is PERFECTLY cast. I also agree with your Bella assessment. I like her in the movie more than the book. I think I'll like the movie more than the book.

I really like Alice, but I wasn't crazy about how the other vampires were cast. I love Jacob!

I may like the movie more than the book too. I think they'll take out or play down the stuff from the books that made me roll my eyes. Or, at least, I really hope they will. I've seen small changes in the trailers already that have made me think "that's so much better than how it was described in the book."

I just wish they could make each book into two or three movies. ~D:

I'm sad that I'm too responsible of a person to go to the midnight showing, having to teach devil children the next day. Bah. I haven't yet decided whether I want to go with my friends or bribe BJ to take me with promises or epic sex after. I wonder if he's into biting...

I didn't like the books that much. I love the story of it, but I cringe at a lot of stuff, like Bella being so pathetic, and how like, controlling and near domestic abusive Edward is to her. It's really the writing I don't like, if truth be told. D:

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PORT ANGELES SCENE.

I can't say I disagree on any particular point. The story, overall, I loved, but I did literally cringe. Probably at the same things you did.

I can't wait to see the meadow scene. Even the trailer gives me a chill.

"How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"How long have you been seventeen?"
"...Awhile."

They deliver those lines so well it drives me a little bananas.

Everyone in this thread over the age of 21 who likes twilight and has posted so far is DUMDUM

I haven't read the books but I am going to go see the movie with my girlfriend because she has and we both think it will be terrible.

According to her (and some other people) the casting doesn't fit well with how the book made the characters seem. The only characters they think fit perfectly are Bella and Carlisle. Edward kinda fits, but only kinda and he's ugly and doesn't have the "eternal" vampire look.

I also find it funny that the studio distributing it has been in business for less than two years and hasn't had a single movie gross over 25 million dollars in hits history or something like this (read this stuff somewhere). Also, the person directing it has directed four other movies and they have all been terrible except Thirteen. Which was okay.

I think this movie will be bad but it doesn't matter because it will gross several hundred million dollars because of its tween fanbase. This depresses me because excellent movies fail in its stead.

P.S. I do like the attitude of the guy who is playing Edward, he seems pretty laid back and cool. Likewise to the girl playing Bella.

That only applies to me. >:o

EDIT: Boys get no opinion! This is girl porn.

Then girls are dumb.

That is sexist. You are sexist, Shlup.

Girls are, indeed, dumb. Especially ones who like Twilight. It's a sick, sick obsession. ...Just my kind of heroin. GAH!

And, yes, I am sexist. The books are girly as hell.

My girlfriend says they are written in a very typical fashion and that the writing isn't very good at all.

Is she right or dumb?

I've never read any of these. But yeah, I heard the writing is pretty atrocious and the books are so sappy it gets sickening. Though I also read that Kristen Stewart made them do script rewrites because she refused to read "cheesy lines".

I'll most likely see it, if only for lol-factor.

Sir, she is both.

Yeah, she's both. The writing isn't so good, but the characters and the overall story are fabulous. It reaches the sadistic fifteen-year-old girl inside us all.

I despise Twilight for one major reason... The book has been out 3 years, and until like 2 months ago, I had never even heard of it. And now almost every girl is going gaga over it.

I hate stuff like that.

Login | Facebook ? :D

Ummm...That movie looks HORRIBLE. I don't know who in God's name would even pay to see this. It's BELOW Bootleg worthy...

I KNOW! I read the first two and thought "huh, those were okay...vampire novels, but I've definitely read worse teen vampire novels than that, definitely" and then around the time the third one comes out all the girls at my school are like OH MY GOD EDWARD IT HOT DO YOU THINK EDWARD IS HOT? And now...NOW...they all have the same shirt with Edwards face on it!


That being said, I liked the books and I'll probably be going to the midnight showing with my super mega twilight fangirl of a cousin :p

After reading a few things about the movie and book I have come to the conclusion that Stephanie Meyer is a massive hack and should be burned to death.

This.


I'll have to watch parts of this when checking screens at the cinema where I work, sadly.

South Park made fun of Twilight last night, basically for all the reasons I make fun of it too. It's a fad and most people involved in it are just little sheep.

THE JACKEL

Actually, a lot of people have been reading the books for MANY years, as early as my freshman year (or maybe sophomore) of High School. A lot of my friends have been into it for years, before it was a "fad." =O

The fact that it's a fad has slightly less than nothing to do with anything. The fact that it is of poor quality is. LotR is a fad, doesn't make it a bad series of books.

Oh, and that if the writer obeys her religion she gave a significant sum to "Yes on 8" campaigns. Not saying she does. But she might.

I downloaded the ebooks last night (37 people in queue for them at the library!) and subsequently had a dream about it, however, since I haven't even read the books, Edward was not in them and Bella was a badass.

These books are going ot be so disappointing now ;.;

The movie might turn out okay. It won't have the ty writing and will instead replace it with acceptable acting, hopefully.

my sister is in love with twilight and I'm sure she's going to see it whenever the movie come out.

I fail to see how Rob Pattinson is "inhumany beautiful," but I like him and he can act, so whatev'. Taylor Lautner is ridiculously pretty but he's gonna have to grow a loooot or they'll have to use CGI for him to be post-Twilight Jacob. xD

I love the casting for Bella and Alice especially, and most of the others seem okay, but Rosalie and Carlisle are SO off.

Hey, I agree and I'm still a fan. Stephenie Meyer shouldn't be allowed to be called a writer, but for some crazy reason the books are just total craaaaack.

Plus I am a rare person who is totally pro-Jacob and Edward-fails-at-life, so I read any page with Edward on in a HAHA YOU SUCK THIS BOOK IS FAIL kind of way, so it's fuuun.

I'm still pissed I have to wait a month to see it at the cinema, though. :(

These books are strictly teenage girl porn. Of course boys and mature females are going to think they are horrible. They are very, very horrible. Yet they are crack.

I'm going to see it this weekend! I let Ashley borrow my book and she finished it in two days. Muaha

I also read the story from Edward's perspective (the partial release, at least, since the author put it on indefinate hold) so it'll be extra interesting. Midnight Sun is awesome.

I'm going to see it Saturday after Into the Woods.


...or maybe before.


I'm going with my cousin and her friends (I do not like her friends).

It was SO much better than I expected. It was really funny at parts. And half the movie, honestly, was zoomed up in on Edward's face. No. complaints.

Okay, seriously though, after the movie got out, all of my friends and I were like "SEXUAL FRUSTRASTION. >;OOOO" because the movie was two hours of watching amazingly gorgeous people.

Seriously. Between Edward and Carlyle and dude, even Jacob? No fair!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "even Jacob". :mad2:

Jacob's like fifteen in this movie, pedo. He's not hot until the next one.

Which was officially announced, by the way! They're starting to make New Moon! Hopefully they'll get a decent budget now that the first one made up pretty much it's entire budget on opening day.

I still haven't seen it yet though. I'm having a hard time waiting for my friend to finish the book, but she promised she'd have it done in time to see it tomorrow.

I think I liked the movie better than the book.

I'm pretty sure I will too.

ARGH! I want to see it now! I downloaded the soundtrack.

I started reading the book this evening because I was so damn bored :(

I just saw it. There are no words for the girltardation that has washed over me.

Keeping in mind that I have no problem separating "book" and "movie" as completely different things, and that I always prefer to just take things as they come rather than nit-pick, I thought it was perfect. They took all the things I thought were dork-a-rific in the book and toned them down, and added extra funnies. And Bella's dream... super bonus.

I was seriously willing to just sit in the theater until it started up again.

I really like some of the songs on the soundtrack...Bella's Lullaby and the orchestra stuff are super purdy.

Yeah, I really like the sound track. I put in in my car.

My roommate saw it and she said it was pretty sucky.

I am going to see it Friday on a date. I just hope it is not that horrible x-x;;;;

I saw it again today! I liked it even better now that it didn't seem so fast.

I also noticed that they made Bella a vegetarian in the movie. I lol'd.

I took my anti-Twilight friend to see it. She said it wasn't horrible. I was pleased.

http://www.popcrunch.com/wp-content/...istenweed1.jpg
Your star likes the ganja. In public.

Nah, she's just demonstrating how not to use a pregnancy test

I would be more surprised if she didn't. Her agent's gotta be pissed at her though.

So I am an avid hater of twilight. (see sig of last spring. )
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3.../twilight2.gif

I went to see this movie with an avid lover. She had already seen it 4 times so I sat next to her to ruin it with my logic. Now I can efficiently make fun of it.

POSITIVES:

• Their eyes were cool.
• It was kinda cute.
• Had some giggle moments.
• urm... I want to move to Washington now for all the rain? :D

NEGATIVES:

• Painfully obvious when it comes to plot
• Painfully obvious there are werewolves involved in this story.
• The movie made me actually sigh in boredom a few times.
• The action scene really starts from baseball? REALLY?
• "That is the gayest super power ever!" proclaimed lekana in the middle of the theater. When he was all, "Let me show you what I really am in the light." I'm thinking oh man this'll be badass his skin will be all rotted away and he'll look the undead guy he rea.... are you serious... he's sparkling.
• Edward... WHAT A CREEPER.
• I can understand one vamp being a pansy and not eating people but a herd of pansies?

So all and all what I got from this movie was that there is a pedo vegetarian sparkling vampire that was stalking a poor girl.

Mind you, I couldn't sit through reading much of the book.

Hell no I'm not going to see that ! Looks like something goth girls go see.

I am detecting an under appreciation of sparklepires. Sadness.

You know vampire baseball is awesome, Lekana!

You know Robert Pattinson actually played the piano right? :p

Also, I read the books and saw the movie, I thought that the movie was good in a bad movie funny way. I was laughing so hard at the generic Pepperspray!! I saw it with a friend that also read all the books, and she found most of it funny as well.

Yes, I think people fail to see that the books are written for "young readers" so you can't expect the greatest from them, but they are extremely fast reads even in their lengths, they just flow.

Oh, also, I swear the guy who played Jasper never spoke once in the film, but just stood in a blank stare. :D

I finished the book last night so I feel prepared to see the movie now!

(I really kinda liked it. I remember feeling like that when I was in 9th grade and the "wrong" vampire lore is nothing that I haven't read in interview with the vampire or The Last Vampire, so whatevvv)

^
Trust me, 'we' all knew she liked "ganja." She kinda has that look about her, ya know. Anyway, it doesn't affect my opinion of her whatsoever.

I also quite liked the movie. There were awkward parts, but I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than a lot of other movies lately.

If by "played the piano" you mean sang two songs, yes.

He composed a version of Bella's Lullaby, but they didn't use it.

Is it too late to nominate this thread as best thread ever? :p

isn't that a ciddies nomination category!?

If I didn't want to smurf her before, I do now. >=)

Saw the movie with low expectations and it didn't disappoint. Some parts were cheesy, fight scenes were pretty bad. Yet, for some reason, I liked it. Ain't that fudged up? I'd definitely read the book, it sounds like a pretty interesting love story, nothing more.

Just because a movie is about vampires, it shouldn't be an excuse for bad film making.

The Twilight books, as horribly as they are written (including all the gag-worthy descriptions of Edward) are at least entertaining in their own trashy romance sort of way. I can totally see the appeal in the books.

But the movie, it was just bad.

Probably one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. And that includes High School Musical.

Instead of going for that smoldering trashy love story avenue, or even the, "hey this is ridiculous but let's have fun with it anyway" route, it was just sitting there. Like a dead lump of a movie. Yawn-inducing, cringe-worthy, etc etc. The only saving grace of the entire movie was that Edward is nice to look at.

In the care of more talented and capable hands, I really do think that this could have been a much better film. I watched it with low expectations, but even with movies with a premise as silly as this, I expect to be entertained. I wasn't.

I like you more with every post of yours I read, Miriel.

Aww....I thought they did use it, I obviously do not have the Twilight education that you do.

But, since finishing the books, I'm sad they are over =(

I have a degree in Twilight from Gutterbrain University.

That isn't something to be proud of.

Thanks for the newsflash, Captain Obvious. You think I consider "Gutterbrain" a compliment?

I kept thinking, "CEDRIC YOU'RE ALIVE!" in my head. :D

I think a lot of people are forgetting that the reason just about 99% of us went to see the movie is to watch amazingly gorgeous hot people for 2 hours. Gays, straights, bis, everyone had something to look at.

And for that, I give Twilight a big giant A+.

I know a guy who likes Twilight. And a guy who read the first book and thought it was okay.

Was either guy your husband? :confused:

No. :(

The movie along with the series is pretty awful, the character Bella has no personality, interest or hobbies, I felt like I was reading about stephanie meyers little fantasy in the book. Edward is a stalker, I'm a 17 year old girl and It's a shame girls my age are looking at some stalker as some sort of perfect man, lol.

The movie was rushed as expected, bad acting which shocked me esp. from Kristin..

It was a bit of a mess, I expect alot better from "New moon" whenever that comes out, but I have to say that Robert was pretty hot. That was the only reason I went to see it, lol. XD

Bella has lots of interests. Like Edward, Edward, and Edward.

I don't get why people hate on Bella so much. Yeah, she wasn't perfect, but she knew what she wanted and she went for it without hesitation. How generic she was allowed for readers to better project themselved into the story.

But, yeah, overall, horrible book. Horrible, horrible.

I hope Meyer finishes Midnight Sun soon. :(

Well the books will never win the Noble Prize, but they fit the category of 'addictive' quite well!

Twilight destroyed vampires.

It followed the vampire mythology a lot better than most modern vampire books and movies did. Except the glowy thing.

*ahem* Let me explain.
I do admire the book for following the mythology of vampires, but I blame the fanbase for obsessing over it and writing overly terrible fan-fictions in which their Mary Sue character gets it on with Edward.

That's why you don't read fanfiction.

That's like saying Final Fantasy destroyed RPGs.

I... I... What?!

People writing horrible fanfiction with total Mary Sues for OCs have existed since the very first fanfic was written.

If you're going to go on about the lack of fangs and the sparkling in the sun that would be acceptable though.

I'm just going to stop while I'm ahead. I'm just going by what is spammed on Quizilla and friends who've either a) seen the movie or b) read the book.

I know that wasn't why YOU went to see it, because you can see something hotter than all those guys combined just by webcamming with me :jokey:

I'd just like to add that my favorite part of the movie was when Ed revealed his dazzling sparkles of bedazzlement to Bella. Just about the funniest thing I've ever seen. Could not stop laughing when he continued on to say, "THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER!!!!!!!" *sparkle sparkle*

Ahahaha. xD

Yeah that made no sense, I was like "Now they've done it." =/ I sunk in my seat.

Terrible! The movie was just plain bad.
James was extremely sexy though. I couldn't stop sighing. I'd totally ditch Eddy for him.
Oh and Bella's dad. He was sexy.

This is exactly why Twilight is fun! It's so bad it's good! All aboard the fail train. xD

Yes, the twinkling sound effect makes that scene officially epic. I want that sound effect for a ring tone on my phone when BJ calls.

Oh my god, I just got back from seeing it, and I am still hysterical at Jasper's facial expressions.

EMMA, JASPER IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST ONES, THOSE ARE FIGHTING WORDS.

twilight rules the world of books.

Emmett is totally hot in the movie! Nobody is better than James, though. I would so hit that.

I don't get the deal with James. So many people think James is hot. He's an absolute dog.

Emmett is the hottest. Deal.

My totem pole goes Edward, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Esme, Rosalie (seriously, she was supposed to be the most beautiful person in the world? pfft.) Edward and Carlisle constantly fight for first. It's a tough battle.

Ugh, I seriously do not get how anybody can find Robert Pattinson attractive. I don't see it. He's average-looking at BEST.

Jacob is totally gonna rule the hot-scale in a couple of years. :p

Robert Pattinson's acting ability and general personality make him hot.

Don't you mean, lack of acting ability?

I kind of love of how he makes fun of Meyer and Twilight in some of the interviews that he does. It's like he knows it's a joke, but he just goes with it and doesn't try and sell Twilight as something it isn't.

Kristen Stewart on the other hand always has a bitch face going on.

Yeah, Rosalie was pretty, but I don't think she was prettier than Bella, which isn't right, 'cause she's supposed to be a teensy bit jealous!

That's why they call her KBitch. I <3 KBitch.

Rosalie was only cast because she was like boning the director or something.

THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLER, BELLA!!!! Srsly. He kind of sucks.

Gaspard Ulliel will always be my Edward. :p Looks-wise, anyway. Edward has no redeeming features other than his hotness, which Rob Pattinson does NOT bring to the role.

You can't blame him for the ty dialogue! He and Kbitch rebelled against the dialogue on multiple occasions as it is.

But I can blame him for delivering even the better dialogue badly. xD

He did no such thing! He was very Edwardy.

According to you, and you like this crap. I'm pretty sure that's evidence enough of your rational judgment being worth squat.

ROBERT PATTINSON HAS MORE MANNESS IN HIS TOENAIL THAN YOU CAN EVER HOPE TO HAVE IN YOUR WHOLE BODY!! *falconpunch*

That's not something to brag about. :p

Seriously, Edward's entire character consists of cheesy lines to the extreme, disturbingly manipulative and stalkerish tendencies, and worries about his virtue. He. is. lame.

Yeah, someone should be shot for the Twilight screenplay. I mean honestly, either they should be shot and killed or they should never be allowed to work in the film business ever again. Probably the worst screenplay in existence.

Robert Pattison reminds me of Orlando Bloom. Hotties who really can't act. But you sorta forgive that bit cause they're cute.

Okay, so Edward is a tool and the screenplay sucks. But Robert Pattinson is not to blame!

Then again, I've never been one to scrutinize people's acting ability; they have to be pretty obviously bad for me to notice.

The real tool is Stephenie Meyer. I wanted to throw stuff at the screen when she was on. :mad2:

Can't argue with that. Supposedly she had to be convinced to do it, and she hates it and hates how long they focus on her, but still... ugh.

But for some reason it's awesome whenever Stan Lee does it. xD

Got the book for Christmas. Finished it Boxing Day. I'm now a teenage girl and am in love with Edward. Not even kidding, I've grown breasts.

So I'm ignoring what the majority of the world is saying and actually paying to see the movie at the cinema. From what I've seen of it though, it looks like they've totally robbed Edward of all his good points in the book and made him cheesy and depressing. :bigsmile:

He's always been cheesy and depressing.

True, but I also found him funny at times. *swoon*

so i guess stalking is sorta "in" right now lol?

That hardly matters. Creating something from nothing is a lot easier than going from a book with a huge fanbase breathing down your neck ready to lynch you if one hair on the character's is out of place.

Edward was supposed to be wearing a tan jacket, damnit!

YouTube - ET ONLINE HQ - robert pattinson gives tyra banks a bite (hickey?) (11-21-08)

xD I love you PG.

Series of events: I was recommended to read the book a while back. Thought it was , stopped reading halfway through. Took a girl to the cinema, she wanted to see Twilight, so we did.

I have to say, the movie was pretty good. The best thing about it was the two leads. It must be notoriously hard to act out such heavy scenes while looking convincing, & while keeping chemistry. I think they did a good job. The movie was decently put together in all, and the castly seemed solid. 7/10
