Twilight Movie (Mark Spoilers?)

[Shlup]

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 <img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /><img src="http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/rpg_009.gif" alt="skull" /> 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!

[Shlup]

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...

[Rye]

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.

[Shlup]

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.

[Madame Adequate]

Then girls are dumb.

[Bunny]

That is sexist. You are sexist, Shlup.

[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.

[Bunny]

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?

[LunarWeaver]

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.
