The Twilight Saga: New Moon

[Shlup]

Am I the only one here who saw New Moon? Where are your heads people? Stick the firmly up your asses and go see the greatest movie of all time!

No, really, it was good. The first one was bad, but this one was faaaaaabulous. I can only think of one important scene that was left out from the books. I can't believe they managed to cram in everything, and so beautifully and perfectly. Every alteration they made from the book was for the better and it was sexy.

I am dazzled. Dazzled.

SAY YOU LOVE IT! FOLLOW YOUR <s>NO-NOS</s> HEART!

Sorry, but there's no way anything based on that ty piece of vampire fanfiction can be any good.

Some of my friends are going crazy because of this. They're really into the whole TWAILAIGHT thing. I've only seen the first one, but I'll probably see this one at some point as well.


Let's just face it, Pattinson is kinda hot too. In that "I'm skinny, have big jaws and glitter in sunlight" kind of way.

[Shlup]

Robert Pattinson looks like a foot. And yet I still totally want him. He's got broken-boy face. So into it.

Not good to you. Good to people with good taste in literature.

...

Okay, fine, good to people with a weakness for angst smut.

[The Man]

good to people with a weakness for angst smut.

That's pretty much it. However, the series is still horrifically misogynistic (despite being written by a woman) and promotes a thoroughly dysfunctional and borderline abusive view of romantic relationships, thus I can't condone anything related to it. Though I did laugh at Pattinson speaking up about his view of the books. He gained quite a bit of respect from me by doing that.

[rubah]

my friend was asking why I hadn't gone to see New Moon yet
"haven't you like read all those?"

"Yes, but I'm not proud of it."

[Shlup]

Yeah, the books are super misogynistic. Despite being written at a fourth-grade reading level, I don't approve of them being read by children.

They appeal to the sick side of a woman. The side that likes to be protected, taken care of, cherished, and stalked by sexy sad-faced boys.

And this movie lived up to all of those things. And the special effects did not suck; it was kind of crazy. The fight scene with the Volturi was tits.

[Vyk]

I was gonna come make a sarcastic remark and/or talk some shizz. But instead I just want to say thank God someone finally just admitted these aren't necessarily things people should glorify and enjoy, but just can't help it (for whatever reason). So honestly, no. I never saw the first one. Never will. And have no intention of even touching the books

[Raistlin]

Good to people with good taste in literature.

I know you took that back quickly (thankfully, as my mouth was gaping in shock), but just being able to type those words shows how much your brain has been warped by that tripe.

[Shlup]

I know. ;_________________;

[Leeza]

I loved all of that tripe and I can't wait to see the movie. HOWEVER, I live in a 1/2 horse town and I'm probably going to have to wait two more months before it gets here. I don't care for Pattinson and I think they could have cast a better character, but...whatever...he'll do.

And the special effects did not suck

I thought they did. XD

I still laughed at nearly every scene with Edward, especially since he's, like, always sobbing or looking uncomfortable. But it's kind of amazing how much the movie improves after Edward leaves and it's just about Jacob and Bella hanging out and liking each other...until the werewolves show up.

(SPOILER)Bella's hallucinations of Edward: so stupid. XD

[Shlup]

Compared to the first movie, these special effects were amazing. In general, they were pretty good.

And, yes, the hallucinations were stupid and pathetic. When I was first reading the book I was excited that she was starting to screw being safe and live a little, but then she started hallucinating and I just wanted to beat her with a stick.

BUT IT'S STILL HOT.

[Bunny]

I have seen various trailers and clips for this movie and going by those alone there is absolutely no way, whatsoever, that this movie can be anything other than absolutely horrible.

I love you in almost every way, ShlupQuack, but I think you have bad taste in movies.

[Shlup]

I have a very wide taste in movies. It does indeed include some pretty epic crap.
