Ok, so let's start with....have you read the book?
If not, go to a bookstore RIGHT NOW.

Beks
05-09-2008, 05:17 PM
No, but I want to. I hear its really good. Have you read it? And I also hear they are making it into a movie. Comes out December 12th I believe.

Stingray
05-09-2008, 05:18 PM
Yeah, back in 7th grade our teacher would read every Friday instead of having class. So he got that when it was mad new, and it was the worst, most boring piece of garbage I have ever had the misfortune to sit through.

Beks
05-09-2008, 05:19 PM
Maybe I won't read it then. . .

Stingray
05-09-2008, 05:19 PM
Save yourself the money.

SukiChan
05-09-2008, 05:21 PM
Maybe you should try it Backs-Chan if you don't like it return it.
It must be okay if Luna is so excited about it.

Shut up Stingray. Don't listen to him Beks!!! I loooved that book! But, of course, I thought the second was better than the first!!!::D:

Can't wait for the movie!!!
You are so right Sukichan!!

Stingray
05-09-2008, 05:22 PM
Get it from the Library I guess would be better.
And that's all I have here.

Kitsune
05-09-2008, 05:22 PM
Maybe I won't read it then. . .

Well, I thought it was pretty good. I'm only on the second book, but it's a mix of vampires and romance. (Yes, I count 'vampires' as a genre. XD) If you're okay with that you should try it out before the movie comes out. They're bound to mess it up big time...

Stingray
05-09-2008, 05:23 PM
Wait, I just realized something, I'm the only dude who posted in here, so I guess it's just a chick book.

Beks
05-09-2008, 05:23 PM
Yeah, you always have to read the books first. I guess I will read it then.

Canned Luna
05-09-2008, 05:24 PM

05-09-2008, 05:25 PM
No, but I want to. I hear its really good. Have you read it? And I also hear they are making it into a movie. Comes out December 12th I believe.

And Beks....I wouldn't be threading about it if I hadn't read it!!
I've read all 3. Can't wait for Breaking Dawn!!

Beks
05-09-2008, 05:26 PM
If Luna says its good, it must be. =)

SukiChan
05-09-2008, 05:27 PM
Vampires huh? I haven't read it myself but you've sparked my interest Luna-Chan.

BTW Think theirs a bookstore in Tokyo, Japan holding it?

Canned Luna
05-09-2008, 05:27 PM
It is.
#1 Geek luvs it too! She even has a set made after one of em!

Beks
05-09-2008, 05:28 PM
Do you know what books the movie is covering?

Canned Luna
05-09-2008, 05:29 PM
Twilight. The first.
The book is too big to cover any of the other ones. And they just keep getting bigger!
Bella is a pretty name.

05-09-2008, 05:31 PM
OMG!!!! I love these books! They are the best books ever! Stephenie is so talented! I've read all three, I can't wait for Breaking Dawn! :( I'll be disappointed if I have to wait a long time.

Beks
05-09-2008, 05:33 PM
Another great series was Uglies. I absoloutly loved them, they're making a movie for that too! But I'll be sure to go buy this book soon, I guess stingray just has no taste.

Canned Luna
05-09-2008, 05:33 PM
U are excited too yay!
Breaking Dawn comes out August 2nd yall.

Yes, he doesn't.
I haven't read Uglies, but I've heard it's very good. I guess I'll read it after I'm done with all my other wait-listed books.
Ok, next let's talk about our favorite character.

Favroite Boy: Edward
Favorite Girl: Alice
Alice is sweet. I luv her!
And Edward....in the movie he doesn't look as handsome as I picture him....:amazed:

Here's a picture of the guy who's going to be playing Edward. I know alot about the book because my friend use to adore them.

no, It's just that the books I prefer involve rings, kings, quests, wars, barefooted midgets, and kingdoms with the suffix -dor.

My friend at school wouldn't stop going on about it. She's totally obsessed over it and pre-ordered the third one. So it must be gud. :D

I'm going to try getting my hands on it!

05-10-2008, 04:03 AM
I read Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. I really liked Twilight and New Moon but for whatever reason couldn't STAND Eclipse. Not sure if I'll see the movie just cause it might ruin the perfect image of Edward that I have in my head =)

Me too! He looked sooo handsome in my mind.....but in the movie he's just....meh....::(:::(:

I will be cool to see him actually act in a movie and not die in the end. ^_^

Double psting again. . . but whatever.

I liked the guy they chose for the movie, he has that mysterious glare and face that I had imagined Edward having.

05-12-2008, 10:20 AM
Hey! I've read the first book, but not the rest, because i was too lazy. But i can't wait for the movie to be out though. I'd love to see how they portray the characters. They have a good bunch of actors who kinda look like how i've always imagined the characters to be.

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 03:47 PM

Go get the next one!

Beks
05-12-2008, 03:51 PM
I am but I heard that she falls in love with Jacob from one of my friends. . . It can't happen!

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 03:56 PM
It's a lie.
Well....in the third she says she's in love with him too...but loves Edward more.....
I don't believe her because that's well....impossible to be in love to be in love with two people at the same time....

Beks
05-12-2008, 03:58 PM
It can't happen!!! I don't want her to love him.

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 04:01 PM
You'll like him more in the second....he sorta plays a bigger part then Edward in the second....
Ok....I can't say anything because I don't wanna spoil it for you! Unless you want me to......:amuse:

Beks
05-12-2008, 04:04 PM
Edward's soo nice though. . . ::(:

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 04:05 PM
SPOILER:
Edward leaves Bella in the second book. He doesn't come back till the very end. Which gives Jacob a chance to make his move..

Beks
05-12-2008, 04:05 PM
GRR... why'd he leave her?

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 04:07 PM
Because he wants Bella to be NORMAL(in other words not a vampire)
To tell the truth...I didn't read the books in order....I read New Moon first, the Twilight, then Eclispe.
New Moon's my fav.
Yeah, anyway, because of that Bella get's very depressed and complains a lot....

Beks
05-12-2008, 04:11 PM
Oh! So it was Edwards fault? He shouldn't have been so stupid.

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 04:12 PM
Yep! So who's your fav boy and girl characters...?

Beks
05-12-2008, 04:14 PM
Boy: Edward and sorta Mike
Girl: Bella and Alice

I can't decide.

Canned Luna
05-12-2008, 04:15 PM

When the movie comes out i mean.

#1_Geek
05-12-2008, 04:37 PM
Hey,I was mentioned earlier ^_^

I'm totally in love with these books though.I'm getting so impatiend for Breaking Dawn.I've reserved a copy ^_^And I wanna see the movie so bad.I dont really think Robert Patinson(sp?) looks like Edward at all,but no mortal can compare,so I suppose it's alright...I really hope they don't screw up the movie too bad,though.The trailer made me nervous,they messed up some of the scenes JUST IN THE TRAILER...as me and Oam-chan are doing,let us pray to the cinima gods that it'll be fine! xD

favorite boy:tie between Edward & Jake,I love them both ^_^
favorite girl:Bella.

Me friend's and I have decided that I'm Bella ^_^ because apparently
1)I'm a clutz
2)I cant walk 2 steps without finding trouble(wich isnt so much true,but still...)

....there was more,I just can't rember now >.<

Beks
05-12-2008, 04:38 PM
I'm so stupid, I looked on wikipedia about the book and I ruined everything.

In the trailor, she seems too scared of Edward and he CAN'T FLY!!!

Canned Luna
05-16-2008, 05:36 AM
Fly Edward! Fly like me! V
I think he needs lessons...I can teach him!!!!(angel) ^__^

05-17-2008, 08:27 PM
No there was a part where he was in the sky. And I just finished the third book. I really hate Jacob.

Shadownami92
05-17-2008, 08:40 PM
Wait, I just realized something, I'm the only dude who posted in here, so I guess it's just a chick book.

I agree with you, it's a very girly book in the terms that it involves a very unrealistic romance scene with very generic love and complication elements and themes as many other novels teenage girls read these days, however in this case it adds the element of vampires whom girls find fascinating these days with the general "hottie" description.

Once you read one you read them all. I prefer reading stories with more complex stories and even if it's fantasy I expect humans to think like humans and therefore won't get into these stupid romances.

No offense to the story, I'm just saying why I don't like these types of books, or the fandom for them

#1_Geek
05-17-2008, 09:33 PM

to the teailer thing,I'll have to watch it again.

You hate Jake too?Why does everyone hate him so much? *sigh* I love him just as much as Edward,it broke me heart when he *SPOILER* threatend not to come back from the battle in Eclipse,and when he ran away at the end.I'm all for Bella x Edward,but that doesnt mean you have to hate Jake...

Beks
05-17-2008, 09:35 PM
But I'm really afraid that he's going to like... break them up. Which I think will happen in the fourth book. =(

Miirin
05-17-2008, 10:07 PM
I asked my friend to buy it for me for my birthday last year since she wouldn't shut up about it... and I still haven't read it because I heard from a few people that the story is cliche and girly and pretty much every single character is a Mary-Sue of some sort. That's... really not my thing. I don't like romance books to begin with, and that just makes it worse.

I might go see the movie, though, if I don't ever get around to reading the book. If what's been said in this topic is true, it seems it's coming out on my birthday, which is kind of weird considering when I got the book.

#1_Geek
05-17-2008, 10:55 PM
I definatley dont think Edward & Bella would break-up under any circumstances!They're totally in love! ^_^

and Miirin,I would suggest reading it before seeing the movie when it comes out.The book's always better.But yah,some of my friend's dont like it because of the romance/slight Mary-sue-ness...but I usually dont like romance,and I love these books.I guess it just depends...

Beks
05-17-2008, 11:52 PM
But from what I heard the next book, some of it is going to be from Bella's point of view and some from Jacob's. Which means he's going to be in it alot.

Canned Luna
05-21-2008, 04:49 PM
That's messed up. It should've been like that from the beginning. It's kinda confusing now.

Beks
05-21-2008, 05:25 PM
But that's just what I heard.

Canned Luna
05-21-2008, 05:34 PM
I Luv Luv Edward. Not good in the movie, but so so hot in my mind.

Beks
05-21-2008, 05:35 PM
haha, you should put him in your fanfic Vampires of Kardia.

Canned Luna
05-21-2008, 05:36 PM
Wow, that'd be weird.

Beks
05-21-2008, 05:37 PM
Very very wierd.

Canned Luna
05-21-2008, 05:48 PM
Bella is starting to creep me out a little. "I only want Edward's venom in my veins"......woah...

Beks
05-21-2008, 05:53 PM
*spoiler*
I really hope they get married in the fourth book. I was so happy when he purposed to her!

Canned Luna
05-21-2008, 06:09 PM
They will. I hope something bad happens. Hee hee.

Beks
05-21-2008, 09:29 PM

#1_Geek
05-30-2008, 09:21 PM
Of couse they'll get married.He *spoiler* gave her the ring,and at the end she said she was gonna have to go tell charlie.

I wanna see Charlie's reaction though,this is how me and my friend imagine it

Bella(on the phone) : DadI'mmarryingEdwardbye! *throws phone*
*phone breaks against the wall*
Edward: ...no need to break the phone, love...

Beks
05-30-2008, 09:59 PM
Haha, yeah. I'm just afraid that since the epilouge had Jacob like getting angry, I think something bad will happen to him and Bella will find out and cancel the wedding or something. Worst case scenario.

#1_Geek
05-30-2008, 10:15 PM

NOOO I don't wanna read it!! IT'll spoil it for sure!!!!
Oh yeah, and since when did Edward start calling Bella "love"???
I remeber he called her that a lot in the third book and it's starting to creep me out and/or get annoying.

Beks
05-31-2008, 02:58 PM
Yay! Soo good! My friend is staying overnight the day it comes out so she's the first to get the book.

Edit: Yeah, I noticed that too. It didn't really bother me though, it's sorta cute i guess.

Canned Luna
05-31-2008, 03:01 PM

06-18-2008, 11:56 PM
I'll make it less womanly in here. My sister has the books and when I saw them I was basically "OooooohBigBookwithAmbigousTitle". I have read the whole series uptil now mostly because once I start reading books I read them to the end.

The fight scenes aren't that bad. To me Meyers needs to put in like 4905372985y72m38470 more fight scenes to make me throughly enjoy it. Actually she should just make it one fightscene leading into another. The first one was the best because it had the least amount of gushiness in it and the Cullens seemed more real in it. Afterwards they seem to be more cardboard cutouts that don't have nearly enough lines. Some things like the backstory (Like how Edward and Dr. Cullen met, the powerful underground group, history of the south in connection with vampires) was really neat but I'm just a history nerd so thats probably why it interests me more.

To this series could have potential but there would have to be made changes that I'm sure many of the fans wouldn't like. The overall way the story is told and some of the things that happen just make it corny to me. Things that happen in the story (You know what they are) just plain don't happen in real life and makes it lose for me a good bit of whatever good storytelling Meyers manages.

#1_Geek
06-19-2008, 12:26 PM
uhh...no offens Mike,but duh they dont happen in real-life,it's about Vampires & Werewolves xD But,good for you,I wish I could get more guys to read them.Even if you didnt think they were as awesome as we do,if you read all of them I feel respect for you ^_^ My friend said he read one 'cause his friend said it was a vampire book(wich is true...) but he put it down,like,helway through,because it was a romance book >.<

And I actually like all the backround stories too,and I'm not all that into history ^_^

Canned Luna
06-20-2008, 07:10 AM
HAPPY B-DAY EDWARD!!!!

YAY!!!! HE IS 107!!!!!!! HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!!!


Yeah, and I'm with Mike on the fight scenes. It really sucks that Meyer makes us miss out on the good parts and we really don't get to see much.

But Mike....it seems as realistic as it get's for me.

#1_Geek
06-20-2008, 04:46 PM
Yay, Edward's B-day!!!!My friends and I wanted a cake that said 'Happy 107 B-day Edward,we love you' but didnt get one...ah well,said friend is out of town today anyways ^_^"

You guys share a common thought with my friend.She read them all,and celebrated Edward's B-day with us,but she claims she doesnt really like them that much...She says they need to be more violent xD

Canned Luna
06-20-2008, 04:48 PM
Yeah, not very violent for vampires. Even if they are good.

I love the series but it is DEFINATLY a girl's book..

It was amazing. I got done reading it the same day it came out :) (I read REALLY fast). It pretty much rocked my world. I totally guessed what was going to happen, and I was right! It is such a good series, one of my favorites.

I am currently working on reading it the 2nd time through, it was that good.

Is it really? I really want to go and see it, but first I have to go and finish the book. I'm only half way through! I read really fast, but I don't have the time to read! So far, it's pretty basic; mostly in the love section of the book between Edward and Bella.

I wonder why they're moving Harry Potter so far out though...if they were afraid of the competition (wich still doesnt make sense,they were a few weeks apart) couldn't they have just moved it to after Twilight? sorry,that's kinda off-topic,huh?

Still,I'm happy that Twilight's closer,even though I'm afraid it wont be verry good...PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG MOVIE!

and thanks for agreeing Pony-chan.At the relese party here,there was some guy dressed as Edward,and I wanted to take his picture.But I thought it'd be weird to walk up to some guy and be all like "Can I take your picture because you look better than Robert Paterson?" so I didnt...

o.O i nearly did that, i went to the cinema to see wall-e with my friends (one of them is also a huge fan of edward) and as we where waiting formy other friend to come this dude came past us with edwards style and colour of hair, when we got in the cinema we were looking for him every where then relised he was right infront of us (well basically ,he was actually to seats infront of us but no one was in the row just infront if that makes sence)

look what I just learned.Straight from Stephanie's site.

August 28, 2008 (part II)

As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.

I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.

I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.

So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.

I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this message on the Midnight Sun page). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.

I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

I liked the first book, but not so much New Moon, Eclipse, and even Breaking Dawn, she wrote them way too quickly especially the last one, which was too big by the way.

I'll make it less womanly in here. My sister has the books and when I saw them I was basically "OooooohBigBookwithAmbigousTitle". I have read the whole series uptil now mostly because once I start reading books I read them to the end.

The fight scenes aren't that bad. To me Meyers needs to put in like 4905372985y72m38470 more fight scenes to make me throughly enjoy it. Actually she should just make it one fightscene leading into another. The first one was the best because it had the least amount of gushiness in it and the Cullens seemed more real in it. Afterwards they seem to be more cardboard cutouts that don't have nearly enough lines. Some things like the backstory (Like how Edward and Dr. Cullen met, the powerful underground group, history of the south in connection with vampires) was really neat but I'm just a history nerd so thats probably why it interests me more.

To this series could have potential but there would have to be made changes that I'm sure many of the fans wouldn't like. The overall way the story is told and some of the things that happen just make it corny to me. Things that happen in the story (You know what they are) just plain don't happen in real life and makes it lose for me a good bit of whatever good storytelling Meyers manages.

It sounds lamer than the rest of them. XD

Though possible fight scene may make up for it.

Because she has put this scene off for three books I can't help but ask how in detail she goes into the inevitable ... honeymoon scene.

What am I?


I love you. Let's be best friends.

That made me happy...Admitedly,they did change alot, but it was still really good. I had to pee when James, Victoria, and Laurent showed up to the field, but couldnt make myself leave...my friend and I RAN to the bathroom afterwords xD ...ya'll probably didnt want to know that...

I liked the movie ok, but it was still a disapointment, which I had already expected. Edward's facial expressions and everything he did just looked retarded.. like when he first sees her in class.. it looked like he was constipated or something. They cut out alot of important scenes between Bella & Edward so it made it look like they hardly knew anything about eachother and that they were just really horny or something. I liked the second half of the movie after they were officially together and stuff. I personally got tired of all the girls in the theatre whistling and screaming every time Edward got on the screen... he really isn't that hot..at all.

Actually the book conveys them as really horny too, after all that makes the characters beleivable right? And having "perfect people" is totally believable.

and it doesnt matter if the guy is hot, its the fact that the girls are brainwashed by their fandom to automatically assume hes exactly what the book says.

Vintage
11-23-2008, 03:25 AM
I didn't get anything out of the book that they were horny... In the book it made Bella sound like a bad kisser.. in the movie she is all over him... The reason I say the movie made them out to be horny is because they skipped alot of important stuff between Edward & Bella so it looks like they are just a couple of teens who decide they like eachother and the next day.. bam.. there in love and there all over eachother.. the book was very more detailed.

I know it doesn't matter.. I just get tired of everyone talking about how hot he is.. all of my friends think he is the hottest guy ever.

I liked the movie ok, but it was still a disapointment, which I had already expected. Edward's facial expressions and everything he did just looked retarded.. like when he first sees her in class.. it looked like he was constipated or something. They cut out alot of important scenes between Bella & Edward so it made it look like they hardly knew anything about eachother and that they were just really horny or something. I liked the second half of the movie after they were officially together and stuff. I personally got tired of all the girls in the theatre whistling and screaming every time Edward got on the screen... he really isn't that hot..at all.

Actually the book conveys them as really horny too, after all that makes the characters beleivable right? And having "perfect people" is totally believable.

and it doesnt matter if the guy is hot, its the fact that the girls are brainwashed by their fandom to automatically assume hes exactly what the book says.
Not so much, but I do agree they are pretty HURHURLOVE. But normal people aren't just "SEXSEXSEXSEX." People have control over themselves, they aren't animals. They can very easily choose to exert this control, sadly however, most just don't.

Also 10 Laugh out loud points for being correct.
I didn't get anything out of the book that they were horny... In the book it made Bella sound like a bad kisser.. in the movie she is all over him... The reason I say the movie made them out to be horny is because they skipped alot of important stuff between Edward & Bella so it looks like they are just a couple of teens who decide they like eachother and the next day.. bam.. there in love and there all over eachother.. the book was very more detailed.

I know it doesn't matter.. I just get tired of everyone talking about how hot he is.. all of my friends think he is the hottest guy ever.

If by detailed you mean, more scenes where they are mushy, she thinks how ugly and normal she is and how perfect he is, then yes. It is more detailed.

Obviously some people have never seen Jason Statham :bored:

My point is that in the movie it was like they hardly even knew eachother at all.. in the book it was a little better about that.

I just saw the movie, and I'm in distress. Did I really just spend that amount of money I've earned on THAT? The only redeeming quality was Edward-- even though he isn't the most attractive boy in the world, he wasn't ugly. So I was fine with watching him. Oh, and the Asian too.

If I could describe the movie in one word, it would be: awkward
But what did you expect?

You took the word out of my mouth.

The movie was moving too fast. And I agree with Vintage. They hardly knew each other and now they want to get serious all of the sudden. And Bella didn't seem like the type of character to put out easily when Edward showed up in her room like a stalker.

I'll be reading the books before watching the movie for now on.

I went into the theater thinking I had tickets to Rolemodels(long story) and ended up enjoying it more than I expected. I'm still not read the books for once but I might go see the movies if they finish the series.

All I know about Twilight:

-There's an apple on the cover of the book. And apples are pretty delicious.

-It's about vampires?

-People latched onto it because of Harry Potter withdrawl?

-My mom was freaking out because the Cedric Diggory guy from the HP movies is playing the main character?

My feelings about this book are torn, guys. :/

From what I gather in the Internet, Twilight is something that only teens and a little little number of people older than that can read. Others just hate it and it's fangirls and fanboys. XD
Good books aren't meant for teens to understand, and what teens understand, is something too basic and vulgar for adult people to read.

Since I nerver read, I wouldn't read this anyway, since it looks like a soap that it's in tv here for years now, that I don't see because it's too overly teeny like. The difference is that the soap does not have vampires, and really, that vampires thing just make the book weird.

Twilight + Party = Vampire Rave party full of Vampire "Stereotype" kids trying to bite each other with plastic teeth.

Wait... Lets all ask this young people, if they really know what vampires are, and who Dracula is. WELL, I doubt any will answer, but if you wanna be smart and say it in the middle of your post to hide the spam away, like this, Spoiler Tags would be cool.

UM. There are no redeeming values. Granted, I have yet to read the book and I may change my mind (HIGHLY doubtful) but the movie was absolutely horrid. I want to shoot whoever wrote the dialogue and the actress who played Bella was a ROBOT. She had absolutely NO emotion and there was no chemistry between her and Cedric Diggory sans accent. The pauses between EVERY word were quite annoying as well. It's a good thing that the dialogue only took up about 20 minutes of it and the rest of it was INTENSE staring with bad piano music in the background.

You're forgetting the "MINDLESS MIDDLE AGE WOMAN HORMONAL FLICK". =)

Like I said, I have yet to read the book and I may like it - more of my close friends hate the series with a burning passion, but I have some who think it's really good. One of them liked it before it was popular and everyone was "OH EDWARD", so I respect her.

I got a twilight sweatshirt. :D


Whaaaat? Not the T-Shirt that says Team Edward =P?


My friend wore that when we went to see it xD We had to buy our Tickets 3 days early and when we went the day of the ticket line was total hell... Then when the logo came up the fangirls started screaming like crazy (my ears almost bled) like usual. What surprised the crap out of me was kira (my friend) yelling SHUT UP!! so loud that everybody went quiet.. xD

I thought the movie was okay, but I was kinda expecting the only appeal was for lots and lots of Edward service :D

+ new studio that's used to small scale stuff
+ really really stingy budget compared to the average film
+ not that much experience in making epics

=Go figure =P

Nonetheless, it was great for a first shot... by the next film they'll have more of an idea of what to do/what not to do by audience reaction. ^^


BTW did anyone notice in the movie that there's a scene where the author comes out on the set? She's off to the side but my friend recognized her, somehow 0.o

Then the Movie would be "The Story of Edward", and not the original name. If a film is too based in one character only, it will only suck.

"I saw Edward, and Edward, and more Edward.
-What about the story?
Story? What story? Oh, read the book and you will know."

And I just read something that makes the books sound like a ripoff an old film. Sorry, I never know names, but if I get it I will post it.

Everyone, it's time for an old school Hollywood rant. :D
These days... it takes A LOT to get me angry. A lot.
But... oh... my... god.

If I have to hear ONE MORE PERSON. ONE. Talk about Twilight to me, I AM GOING TO SCREAM.
I hate selling the merchandise, I hate listening to every 14 year old girl who comes in, I hate seeing it everywhere. I hate it hate it hate it.

I read the books about 2 years ago, maybe. I couldn't stand them the first time through. The second read through was a little better, about a year ago.
THEN. 6 MONTHS LATER; IT BECOMES EVERYONE'S NEW RELIGION.

I work at Hot Topic. We started out with ONE shirt. The Team Edward shirt. Okay, no big deal.

Now? Our entire two-way, front of the store, and most of the cash wrap is COVERED IN TWILIGHT.

It doesn't help that almost every single one of my co-workers, including my ASM's and SM are also addicts.
The entire store went to the midnight premiere.
If listening to everyone talk about it in the store wasn't bad enough;
listening to everyone squeal everytime Edward came onto the screen was a thousand times worse.

The books are terribly written, the character development horribly sped up; and above all, a complete slash to all vampire novels I've ever read.

Do yourselves a favor. If you really want to read them, check them from a library. They're okay for a read, but nothing short of mediocre.
I don't blame the author; she wasn't a seasoned writer when the books were published.

After you've checked them out and read them, do yourself another favor.

Either
1. Check out the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton (A slight warning for sex and violence.)
2. Begin reading the Sookie Stackhouse series; which inspired the recently popular True Blood series on HBO.
3. Read the classic Dracula.

Enjoy a real vampire tale or three.

I'm done. :)

I got in trouble for writing "TWILIGHTS GAY" on a big piece of paper and hanging it on the library welcome bulletin board. The best part.. it was right before the staff meeting, so all the teachers walked in and saw it, and I could almost see smoke coming out of the librarian's ears when she found out it was me. xD

I read the book 2 years ago, in grade 7, I suggested it to some of my friends. [NONE of which read it that year] then all of a sudden, all I hear is 'Twilght this' and 'Twilight that' I was like.. "Dude.. Thats OLD."

Honestly, I liked the book, but I DON'T see what's so [I]GREAT about it.
