[Necross]

Well

I'm in the middle of the whole pregnancy thing. Jacob just threw his doggy bowl at Rosalie. Is this the bit that people didn't like? Cause I'm finding it all rather interesting. Fits along with the themes and rest of the story in my book. As of right now my opinion is still that series just gets better as it goes.

[Dan's_Gurl]

awesome! thanks for posting sparkle!

[Necross]

Ouch, I'll just wait for the soundtrack, can't hear them good enough! :P

[Sparkle~Girl]

I tried my best to get close to the speaker, but the place was packed!

[Necross]

LOL no worries.

[Rogue]

"I"m very...protective of you..." Excuse me while I swoon, ladies and gents. That was adorable. :)

[Necross]

My progress in Breaking Dawn.

Jacob just imprinted on Renesme. Holy ****, I was NOT expecting that in anyway. This book ****ing rules. horrifying, very horrifying, that last chapter, I can't even imagine it on film, but this book is amazing. I don't think I've ever been so shocked.

[Sparkle~Girl]

You've gotten there, lol. Yeah, that part was hard to read, especially when you're actually eating while reading...ugh.

[Sparkle~Girl]

"I"m very...protective of you..." Excuse me while I swoon, ladies and gents. That was adorable. :)

I preffered "Get in the car." Mmm...mad Edward...

[UnicornBlood3]

That part actually made me like Jacob more.

my mom just got to the third book after bella has the baby and I could hear her in the other room trying to say renesmee. I was like just say mutant spawn. It's easier. ;)

[Necross]

So what? Do people not like Renesmee? I just finished the part where Bella nearly kills Jacob after finding out he imprinted on her. This book is my favorite in the series as of right now.

[Sparkle~Girl]

So what? Do people not like Renesmee? I just finished the part where Bella nearly kills Jacob after finding out he imprinted on her. This book is my favorite in the series as of right now.

Yeah, a lot of people don't like her at all. Some say she ruined the book. I think she's adorable though.

[Dan's_Gurl]

i just hate her name. :P

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeah me too lol. Awful name.

Plus the imprinting thing. Such a freaking cop out.

No I hate the end.

lol I know. Think they could have found her prettier panties geez. where is alice when you need her?

crazy stuff.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Lol, I don't think they're panties anyway, more like short shorts. And this is Bella, she doesn't have anything else. XD I'm suprised they don't have holes...

[MovieBuff801]

Okay, I've read the first book in the series, and my reaction to it is just so-so. I will say that it was decent for what it was, but I just can't understand what all the hype is for. I'm uncertain whether I want to continue reading the books or not.

As for the movie, I'll still give it a shot, but my expectations aren't as high as they would be for another fantasy series like, say, Harry Potter. From the trailers/TV spots, it looks like they've stayed close to the book, but I hop it'll be better than the book, which I think it will because the movie will get rid of all of Bella's internal feeling/thoughts. I thought that was what made the book drag, IMO.

[UnicornBlood3]

Lol, I don't think they're panties anyway, more like short shorts. And this is Bella, she doesn't have anything else. XD I'm suprised they don't have holes...

Damn those are some short shorts.


Twilight isn't a fantasy book. It's a love story with a side of vampires. ;)

[Angelixx]

Lol, I don't think they're panties anyway, more like short shorts. And this is Bella, she doesn't have anything else. XD I'm suprised they don't have holes...
uhhhh yeah this is bella we're talking about: she wears sweat pants to bed lol isnt there a part in twilight that talks about that for an unecessary amount of time lol

what a cheap slutty ploy. nicely done twilight moviemakers ;)

[Sparkle~Girl]

uhhhh yeah this is bella we're talking about: she wears sweat pants to bed lol isnt there a part in twilight that talks about that for an unecessary amount of time lol

There's a part in Twilight where she just takes of her jeans and goes to bed. XD

[Angelixx]

what a skank! hahaha

what a discussion we're having haha!

[Sparkle~Girl]

New Behind-the-Scenes video, cool new stuff!

http://www.bordersmedia.com/twilight/

[Necross]

Just finished Breaking Dawn last night. Its without a doubt my favorite in the series. as much as I woulda loved having Jane and especially Caius get their faces ripped off, I liked how the ending played out. It'll be cool to see the powers flowing back and forth on screen I think, they'll give em some nice special effects. I just liked how it played out. It reminded me of the ending of Kill Bill Vol. 2. An awesome conversation and scenes with Bill and Beatrix with a small amount of action but it was incredibly satisfying.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I already wanna reread the series.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I already wanna reread the series.

Go ahead. I'm re-reading Twilight right now.:meanie:

[UnicornBlood3]

I was thinking about rereading Twilight before the movie but idk. I might wait until after.

[Rogue]

I think we've seen most of the movie already with all the footage, trailers, and TV spots. :funny:

[Sparkle~Girl]

Really, we haven't lol. The movie is 2 hours long and mostly we've seen a repeat or variations of the same scenes: car crash, prom, kiss, ballet studio and cafeteria scene.

At least we haven't gotten 15 clips like they used to do for the HP movies XD

[Necross]

Yeah and thats destined to pile up as they will have to keep teasing people til July.

[Rogue]

I just want to know if he's going to sparkle and how they're going to do it?

[UnicornBlood3]

I think it feels like we've seen the movie because from all the trailers & tv spots it's pretty much everything big that happens in the book.

Ok, here we go:

Edward and Bella walk into the Cullen house.

Bella: It’s incredible.. so light, and open.. you know
Edward: What did you expect? Coffins and dungeons and moats?
Bella: No, not the moats
Edward: Not the moats..
Edward: This is the one place we don’t have to hide..
Edward: I told them not to do this.

In the kitchen:

Rosalie: Does she even like Italian?
Emmett: Her name is Bella,...
Carlisle: I'm sure she'll love it.
Rosalie: Oooph, get a whiff of that!
Esme: Here comes the human.
Esme: Bella, we’re making Italiano for you.
Bella: Oh..
Edward: Bella, this is Esme, my mother for all intents and purposes.
Bella: Bon giorno ?
Esme: Molto bene!
Carlisle: You’ve given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time.
Esme: I hope you’re hungry.
Bella: Yeah, absolutely.
Edward: She already ate.

Rosalie breaks the bowl.

Rosalie: Perfect!
Bella: Yea-.. It’s because.. I know you- I know you guys don’t eat. Of course.
Esme: Of course.. that’s very considerate of you.
Edward: Ignore Rosalie, I do.
Rosalie: Yeah, let’s just keep pretending this isn’t dangerous for all of us.
Bella: I would never.. tell anybody, anything.
Carlisle: She knows that.
Emmett: Yeah well the problem is, you two have gone public now, so...
Rosalie: No she should know, the entire family will be implicated when this ends badly.
Bella: Badly.. as in.. I would become the meal?

Enter Alice and Jasper.

Alice: Hi Bella! I’m Alice. Oh.. you do smell good.
Edward: Alice.. what are you-
Alice: It’s okay Edward, Bella and I are gonna be great friends.
Carlisle: Oh sorry, Jasper is our newest vegetarian, it’s a little difficult for him.
Jasper: It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Alice: It’s okay Jasper, you won’t hurt her.
Edward: Alright, eehhh.. I’ll give you a tour of the rest of the house.
Alice: I’ll see you soon.
Bella: .. Okay

Carlisle: I think that went well..
Esme: Clean this up.. NOW!

Upstairs, Edward and Bella.

BELLA: Graduation Caps?
EDWARD: Um. Yeah, Private joke, we matriculate a lot.
BELLA: What a nightmare, repeating high school.
EDWARD: True, but the younger we start out in a new place, the longer we can stay there. Come on

Edward's room.

EDWARD: Um. yeah, this is my room.
BELLA: No bed?
EDWARD: No, um, i dont sleep.
BELLA: Ever?
EDWARD: No, not at all.
Bella: Okay..
BELLA: You have so much music. what are you listening to..
[CLAIR DE LUNE STARTS PLAYING]
EDWARD: Thats debussy.. err..
BELLA: Clair de lune is great.
Edward: What?
Bella: Err.. I can't dance.. eh..
Edward: Well.. i could always make you..
Bella: I'm not scared off you
Edward: You really shouldn´t have said that

Outside on the treetops.

EDWARD: You better hold on tight spidermonkey.
EDWARD: Do you trust me?
BELLA: In theory.
EDWARD: Then close your eyes.

There you go. :)

[Rogue]

Thanks for the transcript, Sparkle. I just couldn't clearly make out what they were saying in the kitchen.


And yes, those two need a room. I bet if they make the sequels they'll end up with one. ;)

[Sparkle~Girl]

I think they've already ended up in one...*cough* ;)

But yeah, they have to keep it low for Kristen's bf.

Pre-sales for Twilight are doing rather well:

Twilight's Happy Halloween

Twilight's Happy Halloween(E! Online) Los Angeles (E! Online) – Sure it's Halloween, but Christmas trees are already up—and so are Twilight ticket sales.

Fandango reported that as of noon today the teen vampire movie was accounting for 51 percent of all daily ticket sales. (E! Online and Fandango are both owned by Comcast.) At MovieTickets.com, business was less frenetic—Quantum of Solace was the No. 1 attraction, followed by High School Musical 3—but Twilight still came in as the site's third-hottest ticket.

All in all, not a bad showing considering the movie isn't already in theaters (like HSM3) and isn't opening in two weeks (like the new James Bond). It's opening in three weeks.

"Twilight is the type of movie with a hard-core fanbase that wants to get its seat secure as soon as possible," says Box Office Mojo's Brandon Gray.

Still, Gray cautions that advance ticket sales don't tell the full box-office story.

"Sometimes it leads to a massive opening, like Sex and the City and Harry Potter," Gray says. "But it doesn't always."

The blood will tell. In about 21 days. Around the time when Valentine's Day cards go on sale.

EW interview with Stephenie:

With her beloved book finally hitting the big screen, Twilight author Stephenie Meyer sat down with EW for an in-depth interview about the Rob Pattinson casting controversy, Breaking Dawn's mixed reception, the deal with Edward and Bella's big kiss, and what she's working on next.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First and foremost, what was it like seeing your story on the big screen?
STEPHENIE MEYER: I was terrified for days in advance before I saw Twilight for the first time. I was so worried that it was going to be horrible and break my heart. I'd seen things that were really good, but for all the time I'd spent on the set, I'd probably seen 10 minutes of the movie altogether. So I asked if it was okay if some of my friends watch with me because I have these great friends who are really positive and they love everything! I was really worried about it but we got in there and they put it on and I had my paper and my pen because it was a rough cut and I wanted to give feedback on things I felt needed to be changed. And I didn't write a single thing down because I was so involved. The characters were speaking the way they should and the heart was there. I could have watched it all night in a loop if I could have.

Why did you demand that Edward and Bella's big kissing scene be toned down?
The problem is if you're going to continue with the other movies, there's a very gradual build to their physical relationship. And what Edward is capable of when he first meets Bella changes very much by the time he's become more committed to the relationship. They reshot the first kiss scene and actually added a special effect and some really cool things that added so much. And it's the only kiss scene.

You also asked for some minor script changes and insisted on Kellan Lutz's casting as Emmett. Did you always feel comfortable putting your foot down?
My personality is such that I have a really hard time being critical with other people. I can be critical of myself all day long. But I hate to step in and say, ''I really wish this was different.'' But it's been good for me just in general to have to speak up because I am so invested in this. I've forced myself, like with the Emmett situation, to take a step forward and say, ''I don't like this.'' And that's hard for me, but I'm glad of every time I did it and I don't think I stepped on too many toes and everyone seems to still like me.

What do you think of Rob Pattinson?
He's a very mesmerizing person to be around. He's got such a compelling personality. I don't think you'd want him for a boyfriend. And you couldn't just be his friend because he's terribly sexy!

Were you worried when fans were outraged over his casting?
It broke my heart. Because I've had my tiny bit of celebrity, I'm aware of how hurtful those things can be. I apologized to him for ruining his life. He said his mom was sending him links like, ''Oh no, they called you a gargoyle!'' They just raked him over the coals. The way he took it was a lot more positive than the way I would've handled it. He was like, ''I'm going to prove them wrong. I'm going to go out there and prove them wrong.'' The movie hasn't come out yet and he's won over 99.9 percent of the people who didn't approve of him as Edward. And when they see the movie, oh my gosh, there's no way not to love him! It's really too bad in some ways because Twilight is going to be limited by the fact that this is a vampire romance and it's basically aimed at teens. If not for that, his performance in my opinion is Oscar-worthy.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Backing up, have you recovered from the very split, very passionate response to Breaking Dawn?
STEPHENIE MEYER: It's been hard. The book did so much better than I thought it would. So many more people read it than I thought would. And then the negative reaction was so much more than I was expecting. Everything was more! I knew that that was coming because I had read all of the expectations people had: ''If this doesn't happen in the end, I'm going to burn the book!'' I already knew the story so that didn't affect what happened, it just made me nervous for it to come out. But in the end I just had to say, ''This is the way this story goes.'' It's almost like history to me. This is what happened! You can't mess with what happened. But I've been surprised at how hard it is to have people in some senses turn on you. That's weird for me. But it was weird to have people like me too.

Have you moved on?
It just got to the point where it was ruining my life to read these hate-filled, poisonous things about me. It was kind of horrifying. I really did have to learn to distance myself. I'm too negative of a person naturally, so I don't need any extra negativity. I'm not an optimist. One hundred people can tell you, ''Oh, I love this, it's so great!'' and one person can say, ''I hate this, you're stupid.'' And that's the one I listen to because that's who I am. [Laughing] So I have to be careful.

Despite the negativity, was there some happiness for you after Breaking Dawn was published?
I didn't feel the sense of completion when I finished the book. I felt the sense of completion when it was out there and knowing that the end capped the story. It's real when it's published. The whole story was there. Finished. Stand alone. And it wasn't whether anybody liked it besides me — I'd done it. I felt a sense of crossing the finishing line. So that was really positive.

When you returned home after a grueling tour for Breaking Dawn, you discovered that your unfinished manuscript for Midnight Sun had leaked onto the Internet, and you released a statement saying you were permanently shelving the story. Do you still feel the same?
The funny thing about that statement is I didn't actually write the majority of it. I wrote about three single-spaced Word document pages of just real pain — with sort of a laugh on the end so everything was kind of tongue-in-cheek. And there were lawyerly people who thought it just wasn't a good way to do it. I didn't want to feel misrepresented in the letter and other people didn't want me to be too emotionally vulnerable. So in the end only the one or two sentences written by me seem really jarring, and people didn't get that there was sort of a joke in there. For example the part that's me is where I said, ''If I wrote it now everybody would end up dying.'' But that was a joke! And it sounded so serious amidst all the lawyer talk and I think my fans thought, Wow, she's threatening to kill everyone! [Laughing] I felt kind of bad about that. I never felt any anger, actually. Just a lot of sadness. I mean it was a sucker punch — like someone came up behind you and just hammered you in the kidneys and you had no idea it was coming.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is Midnight Sun still dead to you, or can you see finishing and publishing it in the future?
STEPHENIE MEYER: It's really complicated, because everyone now is in the driver's seat, where they can make judgment calls. ''Well, I think this should happen, I think she should do this.'' I do not feel alone with the manuscript. And I cannot write when I don't feel alone. So my goal is to go for, like, I don't know, two years without ever hearing the words Midnight Sun. And once I'm pretty sure that everyone's forgotten about it, I think I'll be able to get to the place where I'm alone with it again. Then I'll be able to sneak in and work on it again.

Do you have the energy to start working on a new book right now?
Actually, I think being able to write would be the best thing for me. I have two projects I want to work on. But the movie has been so time-consuming — all the publicity and the merchandise to approve. But I want to get in and write something totally different, a whole new world, and lose myself in that. I think that will be the most healing thing for me. So that's my goal.

What stories are kicking around in your head?
I'm a little more hesitant to say what I'm working on, though, because people for some reason seem to take that as some kind of contract: ''You said you were working on this so now you have betrayed my trust by not doing it!'' But I'm thinking I'm actually leaning towards the mermaids' story right now. Years ago...I tried to write an epic poem. It was supposed to be, like, ''The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,'' right? And I couldn't make it work, it was horrible. But I loved the story in it. So that has become part of the back story to this one. Some of the characters are mermaids. Though, again, they're not mermaids like you've known mermaids. They're completely different. And I'm not going to use the word ''mermaid'' in the book — they're sirens.

After all the incredible highs and lows of the past year, do you feel tougher now?
I would say that I am much more fragile now than I was in the beginning of the year. I am not tougher. Nooooo. [Laughing] In a way, I'm really glad about that. As an author, you have to live in a glass house. If you have walls up, you can't see the world around you to interpret it into your stories. And when people start throwing bricks at your glass, you can't fill in the holes with cement. You just have to put more glass in and it's just more delicate than it was before. Being vulnerable and fragile is kind of essential to being able to translate your emotions into a printed work. On the plus side of not being tougher, I don't feel jaded. I don't feel like I've lost my wonder at the good things or my horror at the bad. That's good, right? If I stopped really feeling things I wouldn't be able to write anymore.

[Rogue]

Bwahaha, Stephenie is in love with Rob. That's awesome. :D

And two years for MS? I'll wait. :)

[Necross]

Feel bad that she is so struck by the negative commentary. Breaking Dawn was by far my favorite and I'd like to kick people in the gut for just ****ting all over it. People work really hard on this, I mean, its different if its like her first book and people didn't really like it. But when it comes to the end of a series that has become to momentous and you've had the story done and people think they have the right to just spit on you for it. I just wanna hurt them. Especially the crap with midnight sun.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I'm glad she at least decided to give MS another try in a few years. I totally respect that and I'm glad she's taking some time off the Twilight world, she needs it after all this year's craziness.

PS/ Cute video of the cast shooting for Vanity Fair.

Ha..."taking my wifey home." Jackson and Ashley are so cute together.

[Art_of_crime]

so are the books any good? The movie looks seriously lame. Lots of emo vamps.

[Sparkle~Girl]

They're not emo...

Anyways, apparently there was a screening for critics in LA last night, so we might be getting some reviews soon.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Some interesting info:

Two weeks before the film even hits theaters, Twilight shows have already sold out.

According to Fandango, Twilight is accounting for two-thirds of all ticket sales and more than 100 premiere screenings have already sold out. This bodes well for the teen vampire love story and its burgeoning franchise.

The established James Bond franchise can't keep up. Quantum Solace is doing well overseas, but here in the States, with its premiere only 8 days away, the new 007 accounts for only 6% of Fandango sales.

It might even reflect a change in movie audiences, with most of Twilight's audience mostly comprised of teenage girls, as oppose to the young male demographic studios usually target with films such a Quantum Solace.

[UnicornBlood3]

Yeha I bought midnight tickets when they went on sale...

I really hope it does well but I don't know. I just hope it's good.

[Necross]

I think its gonna be a blockbuster, Harry Potter big? Not sure, I used to be sure it wasn't but its honestly getting very huge. I have my ticket preodered for 1 30 on Friday before teenyboppers get outta school LOL. Me and a lot of people from work are going, 10 of us so far.

[MovieBuff801]

Most likely, I'll see the movie but I gotta say that my expectations aren't that high after reading the book and seeing some bits of the footage.

[UnicornBlood3]

Well if you didn't like the book I doubt the movie will be any better for you...

Btw, I finally read Breaking Dawn. It blows.

Gonna have to disagree with that about 1000% I don't know how anyone can like the first three and possibly think Breaking Dawn blows. Its kinda....wrong. Especially the people that say stuff like "It was so weird, how can that happen? Thats not supposed to be able to happen." Phrases like that when it comes to books about vampires and werewolves are um...wrong.

[UnicornBlood3]

I lot of people hated BD and loved the other 3. I mean a lot.

[Necross]

I know, and it seems so weird. I mean, I don't get what turns so many people off. The very vampire like birth? Nothing seemed to out there, I mean it is a story about vampires and werewolves, I just cannot see what was so wrong with it at all. Its my favorite of the series.

[darthspielberg]

Okay, I've ingored this series/film for a while, but I saw a TV spot the other day, and I just have to ask those who know...

It's about vampires, right...Why are they out in daylight sometimes? Are they a different breed of vampires, like Blade or something? Count me confused.

[Art_of_crime]

^ we must be thinking on the same wavelengths. I just posted mine 12 seconds after you. I didn't even read your's first.
so I was curious about a thing or two.
one
In the trailers it looks like edward can go out in the sunlight, or at least on a cloudy day, but still in the middle of the day. Does sunlight not have any affect on Vampires in this continuity?
Two
Are these romance novels that just happen to have paranormal characters?

[UnicornBlood3]

That didn't bother me. I mean that seems to happen with a lot of vampire stories. Happened on Angel.

I just feel like she recycled too much from Forever Dawn when she wrote BD. But I don't hate it or anything. I was just disappointed with it. I mean I've seen a lot of people going of on how it's just a trilogy to them and blah blah.



They can go out in the sun. They just dont in front of humans because of the way they look in sunlight. Just a different kind of vampires.

It is a love story. I mean there is more to it than that but essentialy that's what it is.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Watch it's going to make as much as Titanic. The movie has teenaged girls backing it up.

vamps can go out in sunlight, but they sorta...sparkle. That's why they live in Forks, Washington. It's usually cloudy and rainy so they can go outside and interact with others during the day.

They aren't just romance novels. Yes, there is a love story and that is the main focus, but there is a lot of action/adventure stuff in them too.

checked the amazon.com book reviews. interesting. people either love it, or seriously hated it and want to tear it apart with their teeth.

Count you haven't read the books lol. She has her own vampire lore. Its happens a lot in vampire books or movies or tv shows, whatever. They talk about it in the book. These aren't your old fashion vampires. Its a great story and the author was very happy with the film, which makes me more excited for it.

I'm trying to figure out a good time to see this. I want to see the movie and not have to struggle to hear over a theater full of screaming teenagers. (Nothing against you guys but you're hard to take in anything more than small doses. ;))

[Sparkle~Girl]

Thank you! I thought I was the only person on the planet that was disappointed by the book.

Probably not.

We still love it though. XD

[unity768]

True Blood on HBO is a much more well-rounded vampire story. It's based off a series of books, and I'll be reading Dead Until Dark, the first book in the series. Hopefully it won't disappoint like Twilight did, no offense to the Meyers fans b/c nearly all of my friends are the latter.

[Dan's_Gurl]

^i'm gonna start reading that book soon. it's been sitting on my shelf for a few weeks now. wasn't impressed by the pilot of True Blood though. haven't gotten around to watching past that yet.

[UnicornBlood3]

I love True Blood but I don't think it's any better Twilight TBH.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Haven't read True Blood, but I've been trying to watch the series for a while now. Since I don't have HBO, I have to wait until my friend who has been taping them for me can come and give them to me. To be honest, the basic plot looks pretty much the same as Twilight, except that it's much more mature and well...bloody. XD

[Necross]

I'm reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series next, another vampire series.

[Sparkle~Girl]

I read the Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare. Everyone should read those, they're awesome!

President-Elect Obama Reads ‘Twilight,’ So Is He Team Edward Or Team Jacob?
Published by Josh Horowitz on Monday, November 10, 2008 at 3:17 pm.

Barack Obama President-Elect Barack Obama truly has a full plate. Revitilize a sinking economy. Energize a nation. Rehabilitate America’s fragile standing in the world. Oh, and get through four “Twilight” books with his youngest daughter.

Yes, according to the latest issue of US Weekly, Stephenie Meyer has a couple fans who will be moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in a couple months. The magazine reports that the President-Elect and his ten-year-old daughter Malia often bond over addictive book series, “They read all the Harry Potter books together and have moved on to the Twilight series.”

What does this mean? A Presidential screening of “Twilight” at the White House? Robert Pattinson for Secretary of Dreamy Eyes? Anything is possible. Are you surprised that “Twilight”-mania has gone all the way to the Oval Office?

Twilight Signing Causes Chaos
11 November 2008 4:04 AM, PST


Twilight star Robert Pattinson was forced to cancel a signing at a store in California - when the crowds outside surged out of control.

Security staff at the Hot Topic store in San Francisco only expected around 500 people to attend Monday's event and were overwhelmed when thousands of fans turned up to get a glimpse of the actor.

And the scene on the street outside the shop soon turned ugly as the desperate movie fans surged forward, with many people getting caught in the crush - forcing organisers to scrap the signing and call police.

One girl is said to have suffered a broken nose, while another fainted, according to TMZ.com.


This is why I'm seeing the movie before school gets out.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

This shows just how dangerous teenaged girls really are ;) .

LOL at the screaming.

I wouldn't be surprised either. The level of anticipation for this thing is insane. I went to Border's the other day, and I swear, everywhere I turned was not only a table with Twilight books on it, but people crowding around buying them.

Hell, my own mother bought a copy, and I screamed "WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???!!!!!!", well the screaming part isn't true, but still.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Haha, welcomed to a fandom ruled by teenage girls! XD

[Sparkle~Girl]

[UnicornBlood3]

Haha I just hope it's good.

[halo7]

From an interview with MSN:

“I was like, ‘You guys are celebrating something that has not come true yet. So, you are really retarded and have nothing to do with this creative process and I really don’t want to hear you celebrate in front of me. Get out of here! It’s my responsibility!’”

“You can go online and it’s very intangible. I mean, who knows how many of these girls there are? It’s probably just the same five girls going on every message board and gabbing on about it,” Stewart says. “But to have literally, like, a room of over 5,000 people screaming at you makes you want to cry. It’s not like, ‘Oh, this is so great.’ I think it’s literally like an instinct. To have that sort of energy forced at you? You start to wither.

****, I feel bad for her. It sounds like she just took a role in what looked like would be a mildly successful teeny bopper movie based upon a successful book series, she didn't realize what she was getting into and now she has one of the craziest and most annoying fan bases in the world following her around and freaking out at her slightest movement as if she were the character incarnate. With sequel pressure already in motion, I wouldn't be surprised if this chick just killed herself.

[DragnFire22]

lol

[Sparkle~Girl]

Regarding the quote above, I think there's been a serious mis-quotation on that article and things were taken completely out of context. I've never heard Kristen, Rob or any other cast memember say anything nasty to the fans or be disrespectful for that matter, which is why I took that whole article with a big grain of salt.

[Panther2000]

Hopefully it will, then we can have guranteed sequels. :P


Just by the press attention alone. I think that it is safe to say that Sequels are in the bag.

[Danny Rand]

it was decent enough but not quite up to the level it could've been. The entire film you keep thinking man Cedric isn't that great of a Vampire but Bella and Alice were spot on. Also I think people will be impressed with the way Cam pulls off James

it is a very visually effective piece of film but I personally was hoping for a bit better acting and a little more depth

[sshuttari]

I hear the early reviews for this from fans are pretty bad...

Not many critics are pleased with it as well...

[Sparkle~Girl]

Critics tend to not like "teen" movies whether they're good or not.

^true.

[halo7]

"Teen" movies usually aren't very good. I am pretty sure critics were spot on about John Tucker Must Die and The Covenant, why should this be any different?

[UnicornBlood3]

I tend to trust my own judgement and not someone elses. Do I expect a lot from this movie? No. I laugh at people that freak out about it saying it's going to be amazing because we don't know that. But I'm not going to take the word of some person writing a review rather than see if I like it myself. This movie was made with a low budget and was not expected to be a huge movie like it's turned out to be. So I'll go tomorrow and I'll judge for myself what I think instead of saying oh it sucks because some person said that it did.

[Sparkle~Girl]

none of the theatres close by me are playing midnight showings and with the official big snowstorms of canadian winter already starting as we speak im not in the mood to drive out of town. so with that said, i wont be seeing this movie till 950pm on friday night. GUHHHHHHHHHHH SO FAR AWAY!

[Jason Krueger]

So like I just found out that the closest theatre to me isn't getting the movie and it's the only one I can go to, because the only way to get to another one would be to go with somebody...the only problem is....none of my friend's are Twilight fans.

[Panther2000]

I hear the early reviews for this from fans are pretty bad...

Not many critics are pleased with it as well...


I know I was just reading some reviews. & Just as I feared ( Pretty much thought would happen) not a good movie & the acting leaves alot to be desired. I was sooo keepping my fingers crossed. But, we do have to consider the source. This movie won't really have any cross over appeal. There won't be too many boys willing to see it more than once ( if that) & I dont' see to many older people getting caught up int he craze either. They may see it once to see what all the talk is about. But, won't be returning for addtional show. & I think that can & probably will drive more peopl away will the the screaming girls when Edward is on screen. It is annoying.

I did love one critic when he stated that bella should just dump edward & kick it with jacob/jake. I always thought the same thing.

But, I really wished that they could do something truly amazing with the movie. I liked the book alot. But maybe becasue, I am a woman with kids of my own & can see the logic(there isn't any) of bella period. But, then the books aren't for me. they are for young girls.

That is not to say that the idea couldn't work. I loved Buffy & Angle. Very strong Writing & the acting was great.

I may still go see this movie before it leaves. But, I won't be seeing any time soon. Sorry.

If I wan't Eye candy this weekend. Then I will be Watching my LOTR EE DVD's. Now, those are REAL MEN. Not to mention a Masterpeice both on paper & on Screen. Along with Great Acting.

[FranklinTard]

how much you guys think it will make opening weekend? warrior says 70... i wouldn't be surprised if that was a little low...

[Art_of_crime]

depends on if Hot Topic will give the target audience the night off

I'm hoping only girls are posting about their excitment over this emo crap.

[Ewok Droppings]

CS reviews on this were brutal.

[Art_of_crime]

what did you expect. Its Orange County meets Anne Rice with the Romeo and Juliet theme that has only been used in 100,000 other movies

[Sparkle~Girl]

Just saw it and really enjoyed it. It gets a 7.5 from me. I'll be posting my review later tonight.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Review is up, here:

http://candy-003.livejournal.com/39152.html

[Ewok Droppings]

7.5 isn't "really enjoyable" type of a rating to me. It's more of a "slightly better than average" grade I think.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Well, it was enjoyable for me, but I didn't want to give it more than I though it should have because I'm fan. Mostly that's because of the FX. For me personally it was more of an 8.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

I think CS reviewer Edward Douglas hit the nail right on the head. His review was very insightful and well written. His points on this movie and especially teenage girls( I think his points can also apply to women 20-25) are spot on.

[Sparkle~Girl]

Do you have a link? I'd like to read.

[King_of_Skid_Row]

Hmm.....I'm not sure. It's actually kind of negative but...it's true in a way kind of. But if you want to read it:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=50684

[Sparkle~Girl]

Though I agree with the unrealistic expectations about men, that's something that women have been getting since the Disney days, it's not really new. Still, as much as I love Edward Cullen as a character, would I want a guy exactly like him as a boyfriend...? Probably not. I'm perfectly happy with my boyfriend at the moment and he is nothing like Edward, in fact I would say he's more of a Jacob. But still, I think some men have lost the good old values of being a gentlemen at least once in a while and are trying to go for the bad boy look and not all the girls want the bad boy all the time.

[casablanca3]

just got back from this and i thought it was really good, i was pleasantly surprised, it was better than i thought it would be and i went with someone who is a die hard twilight fan and she loved it so the fanatics should definitely enjoy it and live up to their hype. i felt that the love story and everything with just bella and edward was handled amazingly well, it was the best part easily and the rest was just kinda meh whatever but im sure if ur a fan seeing that other stuff is definitely rewarding. id give it between a 7.5 and 8 outta 10

[Dan's_Gurl]

saw it. loved it. 8/10.

[UnicornBlood3]

Haha I enjoyed it too. It was better than I thought it was going to be. To be honest it's pretty much the same as the book.

And just so you know. I'm 20. And don't shop at hot topic so sterotypes are kinda lame guys.

Box office news...


SATURDAY EARLY AM: First numbers show that Summit Entertainment's low cost blockbuster Twilight opened huge as expected because of heavy pre-sales with $32.7M Friday from 3,419 theaters, including $7M worth of Thursday midnight shows, for what should be $65M for its first North American weekend in release. (One rival studio bigwig thinks it made as much as a "jaw dropping" $35M, telling me: "Even figuring a big drop tomorrow, it has to be a mid-$70sM weekend.") Fangirls -- or should I say fang-girls -- were buying 5 Twilight tickets per second as of early Friday morning, making Twilight online ticket-seller Fandango's fastest-selling film since The Dark Knight last July. Then the tween and teen females in store bought or homemade Twilight clothes (and even Twilight tattoos) flocked to the first Big Screen version of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling series of Romeo & Juliet-style vampire romance books.

Yet the movie adaptation was made by start-up studio Summit for only $37M. This will be the start of a big new franchise since a sequel is already in the works. The first box office record has already been broken by Twilight's girl power: this is the biggest opening for a female director. Catherine Hardwicke is easily beating Mimi Leder's $41.1M for 1998's Deep Impact. (But with an asterisk since these figures aren't adjusted for inflation, ticket prices, etc.) If Friday's figure holds, then Twilight will have the 2nd best opening day for a November release behind Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, and the 16th highest opening day gross ever, beating the first Harry Potter and just behind the 3rd Lord Of The Rings.

No. 2 was the new Bond pic Quantum Of Solace which was down 69% from its franchise record opening a week ago to earn $8.3M Friday from 3,458 venues. This could be another $28M weekend and new North American cume past $110M (in just 7 days time). Going into today, Daniel Craig's 2nd turn as 007 has made $335M worldwide.

Because Twilight played much younger than expected, "it's taking that extra bite right out of Bolt," according to one studio mogul. As a result, Disney's toon starring the voices of John Travolta and Miley Cyrus looked to debut Friday with only $6.5M from 3,651 runs and should yield just under $25 million for the weekend. That's $10M less than expected. So, on the Disney scale of animation pic successes, this is disappointing. Poor Bolt has been overshadowed by the phenomenon of the Twilight Zone. This family fare had the largest digital 3D release ever, opening at approximately 979 Digital 3D locations. Last Saturday, the studio sneaked the pic at around 880 theaters to build word of mouth.

DreamWorks Animation's toon sequel Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa distributed by Paramount came in No. 4 with $3.5M Friday from 4,007 dates for what should be a $15M weekend a fresh $136.4M cume. And Universal's raunchy R-rated comedy Role Models continues to surprise by outperforming: at #5, it took in $1.5M Friday from 2,733 plays for a possible $4.5M weekend a new cume of $45.3M.

It's worth mentioning that Oscar-touted Slumdog Millionaire expands into 32 venues. The Fox Searchlight pic opened last Wednesday on 10 screens and this Wednesday grossed +54% on the same 10 screens. As one studio insider told me, "That never happens. As a point of reference, even Juno last year didn’t do this." The pic's previous weekend was the best of 2008 for a specialized film with the highest per screen average of the year, beating Academy Award buzzed Changeling and Rachel At The Wedding.

It's doing very well! It just got it's budget back in like 1 day!

[Necross]

just saw it. loved it. i would give it an 8/10 :)

Thats pretty much my feelings of it right there. I can't even go into the review thread. People going to see it who knew pretty much from the get go wouldn't like it, but still did, and now just wanna ***** the whole time. Really irritating. I thought the chemistry between the characters worked really well, and I don't see what some people are talking about when it comes to the effects. The only thing I had problem with was the sparkling but I've ALWAYS had a problem with it, I thought it was cheese even in the book so I guess thats why it didn't bother me more than some in the movie.

[Angelixx]

yeah same. people are gonna ***** about it but i wont let it get me down. i had read reviews before about crappy acting, pathetic special effects and the annoying lack of steady cam shots so i was bracing myself for them. but i never really got bothered by them, and i REALLY thought i was gonna hate the lack of steady cam.

now with their budget i really can't blame them for the kinda lackluster tree climbing effects, they did good with what they had and the baseball scene was amazing! the only thing i found kinda laughable was the sparkling. but let's put this in context: can anyone else think of a way for seventeen year old heartthrob to sparkle and not look ridiculous??? i think they actually found the best way to get it done cus i was worried it was gonna look cartoony. but no. he looked sparkly ahha :)

basically i think the chemistry between robert and kristen was so great that it made the movie great for me. i probably would have been 'meh' without it but it really did carry the film. im excited to see what they do with new moon, especially since i think kristen's acting will fit with that story a little better.

I give it a 7.5/10. I enjoyed it for what it was. I'm curious about how they're going to handle New Moon. However, I don't care that much as long as they give me Eclipse... it was my favorite of the series. :)

Official statement from Summit!!!

www.summit-ent.com


SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES
TWILIGHT SEQUEL - NEW MOON

Los Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.

Stephenie Meyer stated, "I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON."

Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, TWILIGHT tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.

YAY! We did it! Looks like I'll be taking a trip to Portland soon...

[Angelixx]

again: YAY! i really think with a bigger budget and now with feedback off this one and knowing where they can improve and develop, that New Moon can be really great. it has a lot of potential. just so long as they can get taylor lautner to spice up the camera as much as robert did with all that chemistryyyyyyyyy ;)

by the way can i just quickly express how ****ing awesome the kissing scene was? like, when he pushes her back onto the bed? my mouth literally dropped open and i stopped breathing for a bit. well done twilight **golf clap**

Oh yeah! The kiss was a totally erotic scene. The build-up was amazing, it felt like it was 3 minutes of hesitation before they actually kiss. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would pop out of my chest, lol

More box office news from Variety:

Summit Entertainment's "Twilight" grossed a staggering $35.7 million from 3,419 runs on Friday to score the second biggest opening day gross outside of summer after "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," which grossed $40.4 million on its first Friday in November 2005.

The friday number for "Twilight"--which has made Summit the envy of every major studio--includes $7 million in Thursday midnight shows.

Summit also announced plans to move ahead with "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon."

Box observers are waiting to see how much the teen vampire romance drops on Saturday after such a robust Friday. The sheer volume of traffic on Friday was evidence of the boffo success of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling book series. More than 17 million copies of her four books have sold nationwide.


"Twilight" is on its way to marking the biggest opening gross in history for a female director, Catherine Hardwicke.

Film seemed to take a bite out of Disney's 3-D toon "Bolt," which grossed an estimated $7 million as it opened Friday in 3,651 theaters, including 900+ 3-D runs. For example, Utah theaters are generally a hotbed for Disney fare, but on Friday, "Twilight" dominated. One of the biggest fan groups of Meyer's books are Mormons, as she is a Mormon.

That put "Bolt" at No. 3 for the day, with Sony/MGM's James Bond installment "Quantum of Solace" taking the No. 2 spot. "Quantum" grossed an estimated $8.3 million to $8.5 million from 3,458 runs on Friday for a cume of $90.2 million. "Quantum" will have no trouble jumping the $100 million mark at the domestic box office in its second sesh.

"Bolt," however, could move into second position for the weekend, since family pics generate strong Saturday biz.

On the specialty side, Fox Searchlight's "Slumdog Millionaire" continued to please as it headed into its second frame. The Danny Boyle-directed film grossed an estimated $249,000 as it expanded to 32 theaters on Friday for a per screen average of $7,781 and a cume of $870,139. Pic was up 19% in holdover theaters. Warner Bros. is Searchlight's partner on "Slumdog".

I find it hilarious that it's the second biggest November opening after GOF, which Rob was in too. XD

[Necross]

lol yeah, and I know I'm late on this, I heard it before and I've had the Twilight Soundtrack but the movie really brought Bella's Lullaby alive to me, its so beautiful. Listening to it now. Made my roommate go see it with me today. He was kind of adverse, always has been, but he liked it. :D

[Angelixx]

question: did 'decode' play anywhere in the movie? i cant recall.

Anyone have a summary of "New Moon"? Also, at the end of the film, who was that woman?

[Sparkle~Girl]

Anyone have a summary of "New Moon"? Also, at the end of the film, who was that woman?

In a nutshell:

Isabella "Bella" Swan is thrown an eighteenth birthday party by Edward Cullen, the vampire she loves, and his vampire family. While unwrapping a gift, she receives a paper cut. Jasper, although attempting a non-human diet, is overwhelmed by the scent of blood and tries to attack Bella. In an attempt to keep Bella safe from the world of vampires, Edward leaves the town of Forks. Bella becomes depressed and seeks comfort with Jacob Black, an old family friend who eases her pain over losing Edward.

Bella and Jacob begin spending a lot of time together, and Bella soon discovers that the rush of adrenaline present when she places herself in dangerous situations stimulates a hallucination of Edward's voice. Bella begins seeking out dangerous behavior, such as motorcycle riding, to keep Edward's voice with her. Meanwhile, Jacob finds out that he is a werewolf. Initially, he tries to keep this secret from Bella, but he eventually reveals as much as he can without betraying his pack. After Bella attempts cliff-diving, she gets caught in a riptide and is rescued by Jacob.

At the same time, Alice Cullen, Edward's vampire sister who has visions of the future, has a vision of Bella jumping off the cliff. Presuming Bella is dead, Alice rushes to Forks to check on Charlie, Bella's father, while Edward calls Bella's home. Jacob answers and informs Edward that Charlie is "at the funeral", referring to that of a man in town who had a heart attack, but Edward draws the conclusion that he means Bella's funeral. Desperate after Bella's supposed death, Edward flees to Italy to see the Volturi, peace-keeping vampires who would be able to kill Edward, granting him leave of a world without Bella.

Bella and Alice rush to Italy to stop Edward, and save him before it is too late. Before they leave Italy, the Volturi tell them that Bella, a human who knows of the existence of vampires, must either be killed or changed into a vampire herself. After they return to Forks, Edward explains to Bella that he only left in order to protect her, and she forgives him. The book ends with the Cullens voting in favor of Bella being changed into a vampire, much to Edward's dismay.

And the woman at the end was Victoria, one of the bad vampires. She plays a bigger role in book 2 and 3.

[WuTical]

Well after reading that, bring on "New Moon".

To get everyone in New Moon spirits...

You know maybe I could lie to my friend and say "Hey theres this vampire movie out that has blood and gore and it's really cool from what I heard."

Otherwise I have to wait for the dvd, damn theatre in my city, they did the same thing with the first HP movie.

Oh well glad to hear everyone is enjoying it and to hear that their going ahead with New Moon.

More Box Office News...

Twilight makes 72 million out of Opening Weekend

Summit Entertainment's low cost blockbuster Twilight opened huge as expected because of heavy pre-sales with $35.7M Friday. But early numbers show the front-loaded pic dropped a big but expected 40% to $22M Saturday. (Similarly front loaded Sex And The City also had a big Friday to Saturday fall...)With an estimated $14M Sunday from 3,419 theaters, including $7M worth of Thursday midnight shows, Twilight will end up with $72M for its first North American weekend in release. Fangirls -- or should I say fang-girls -- were buying 5 Twilight tickets per second as of early Friday morning, making it online ticket-seller Fandango's fastest-selling film since The Dark Knight last July. Then the tween and teen females in store bought or homemade Twilight clothes (and even Twilight tattoos) flocked to the first Big Screen version of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling series of Romeo & Juliet-style vampire romance books.

Catherine Hardwicke is easily beating Mimi Leder's $41.1M for 1998's Deep Impact. (But with an asterisk since these figures aren't adjusted for inflation, ticket prices, etc.) Twilight will have the 2nd best opening day for a November release behind Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, and the 11th best Friday opening of all time, beating the first Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone, and the 15th best opening day ever. It's a defining moment for Summit's start-up studio that had really struggled on its first few releases. On Saturday morning, Summit officially announced the greenlight for the New Moon sequel (I'm told to contain costs the studio is considering making sequels #2 and #3 back to back like other successful franchises have done), and Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart formally thanked fans for their support of what is now a movie franchise.

No. 2 was the new Bond pic Quantum Of Solace which was down 68% from its franchise record opening a week ago to earn $8.5M Friday from 3,458 venues. But its take jumped to $11.6M Saturday for a $27M weekend and new North American cume past $110M (passing $100M Saturday in just 6 days time). Going into Friday, Daniel Craig's 2nd turn as 007 has made $335M worldwide. The actioner opened in Australia and Spain to the biggest Bond openings ever. So MGM/Sony are looking at an overseas weekend in the high $30sM which will put international over $300M for a staggering $415M worldwide through Sunday.

Because Twilight played much younger than expected Friday, it took "that extra bite right out of Bolt," according to one studio mogul. As a result, Disney's toon starring the voices of John Travolta and Miley Cyrus debuted Friday with only $7M from 3,651 runs. But Saturday kiddie matinees came through for the pooch pic which gained 62% to earn $11.2M and a $27 million weekend for a close No. 3 even if less than expected. This family fare had the largest digital 3D release ever, opening at approximately 979 Digital 3D locations. Last Saturday, the studio sneaked the pic at around 880 theaters to build word of mouth.

DreamWorks Animation's toon sequel Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa distributed by Paramount came in No. 4 with $3.5M Friday and $6.7M Saturday from 4,007 dates for a $14.6M weekend a fresh $136M cume. And Universal's raunchy R-rated comedy Role Models continues to surprise by outperforming: at #5, it took in $1.5M Friday and $2.8 Saturday from 2,733 plays for a $6.8M weekend a new cume of $47.6M.

Oscar-touted Slumdog Millionaire expanded into 32 venues for a projected $938K weekend and 11th place. (The Fox Searchlight pic opened last Wednesday on 10 screens and this Wednesday grossed +54% on the same 10 screens. As one insider told me, "That never happens. As a point of reference, even Juno last year didn’t do this.") The pic had the 2nd best per screen average Friday behind only Twilight.

The following is a link to an article on the official Chapters website, the chain of bookstores in Canada. Apartantly this year Twilight books in Canada have sold MORE than Harry Potter books did last year. That includes the release of the last Harry Potter.

that's for Angel. ;)

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh snap!!!
i guess JK Rowling is just gonna HAVE to get that eighth book rolling now ;)

Hahahahaha! Those Canadians love their Twilight! ;)

[Angelixx]

i'm so proud of my nation right now **tear**

and so help me if any of the twilight bashers come in here and bash my home and native land to get at twilight!

[DragnFire22]

Canada sucks.

[Necross]

Yeah but truthfully, this is the time when Twilight is getting huge, like HP. Harry Potter became a phenomenon around the 4th book, Twilight series is hitting that. So, a year when the last one came out plus millions more are just discovering it and buying ALL 4, of course they would sell more than any Harry Potter. Wonder what the sales records for HP were around the time they started to get really huge. ;) Just being realistic, I love Twilight a lot, so I'm not trying to snub it :P

[DarthVader 2004]

Um hey i was wondering in the books how do they describe the werewolves and in future movies i hope they don't look like human but with wolverine like fury faces or are these werewolves be played human wise by native americans or indians.

[Jason Krueger]

I think the "werewolves" will be CGI most likely, perhaps even a little animatronics used.

[Sparkle~Girl]

They'll have to use CGI. These werewolves are like normal wolves, but huge, kinda like horse sized. They might use animatronics also.

haha what does that even mean???

[Necross]

It doesn't disappoint me because I didn't think about it while actually watching the film. If I had noticed it while I was there, then I would have been, but the movie worked well enough where the changes and omissions didn't really stand out, which is the mark of a good book movie I think.

[Angelixx]

i didn't even notice any of that stuff was missing when i watched it either. but now im not going to be able to watch it again without being disappointed :(

Aren't censors great? Now we can play the "add in your own word" game!

"Happy. That's what you like to be."

"Funny. That's what you like to be."

It just goes on!

As for Twilight. I don't really care for it, and did kinda think the Fangirl/fanboy-isms were pretty crazy at times. However, I get that way sometimes when it comes to stuff (Watchmen, Harry Potter, etc.)so I have no problem with the craziness that happens on the boards.

[DarthVader 2004]

I still don't see Twilight as anywhere near Harry Potter good book wise or movie and i gotta believe if Harry Potter would have stayed Twilight likely wouldn't had a big weekend. Now that twilight moved too November.
I really like day The Earth Stood Still as Decembers biggest movie.

[Necross]

After seeing it twice and thinking on the omissions I have to lower my score to 8/10. Not really a bad thing, as 8 and 9 for me aren't much a difference. A 9 usually comes outta just seeing it and still being all hyped up. The 8 is after thinking about the stuff that was left out and I wanted to see. I still loved it, in fact, I'm taking my mother to see it today and can't wait!

Aren't censors great? Now we can play the "add in your own word" game!

"Happy. That's what you like to be."
"Weird. That's what you like to be."
"Funny. That's what you like to be."

It just goes on!

As for Twilight. I don't really care for it, and did kinda think the Fangirl/fanboy-isms were pretty crazy at times. However, I get that way sometimes when it comes to stuff (Watchmen, Harry Potter, etc.)so I have no problem with the craziness that happens on the boards.

Was there really any relevance to this?

I still don't see Twilight as anywhere near Harry Potter good book wise or movie and i gotta believe if Harry Potter would have stayed Twilight likely wouldn't had a big weekend. Now that twilight moved too November.
I really like day The Earth Stood Still as Decembers biggest movie.

I have to agree the books & movies are so much better. Eventhough, with the HP movies fans also aren't happy with the movies. To many things ommitted or changed altogether. But, at least the movie doens't down right suck. they are still good movies & the acting, visuals, etc... just about everything is still worthy to see on the big screen.

Don't even get me started on the books. The Potter books are so much better than their movie counterparts & Twilight can't even be mentioned in the same breath as any of the potter books. Eventhough I still find HP still on the tweenie fangirl side. But, the writing is very very good.

I liked Twilight & co ok enough. But, it seem so immature to me. I did in fact love the back stories about the Wolves & how some of the boys would fight to stay away from that part of their life. But, once they changed they got into it. Some more than others.

But, the romance process for me was way tooooo far out there. Poorly written & even worse on screen. But, everthing can improve with the next movie. I sure hope so. Becasue new moon is I think my fav out of the series.
