They're vampires. That sparkle.
Instead of dying in sunlight, they sparkle. Just based on which specific people I know who love these books, I know they're shit. |

Well of course. They sparkle because it's camouflage! It makes perfect sense now.

This sounds like shit, and I fear for the future of America.Who writes a vampire story and claims to have never seen Buffy? I suppose you'd write about
robots without reading Asimov?
The author is either lying or stupid; neither makes me want to read her drivel. |

What I hate is how the concept of vampires has been deluded. They are supposed to be in league with the devil, being predatorial is in their nature, they can
raise evil and corruption by just being in the vicinity, etc. I blame da gayz.

The twilight series is one of those where you want to just skip huge sections of the book because they seem pointless. Half of New Moon seemed pointless
because Edward was away and the entire section of the last book that was voiced by Jacob annoyed me. It would have been better with some condensing.

Yeah, I embarrassingly enough read the whole series, and its SO drawn out its ridiculous. The second book is so fucking boring. The first/third are probably
the best, and the last half of the fourth is AWFUL.
Why the hell did the writer think it was a good idea to add in 20 random unnecessary new characters in the last 150 pages of the final book, totally taking the focus off the characters you've come to know, and then have it just sort of...end. The ending is really the worst ending of a series that I've ever read. I don't see any way at all they can use that as the ending of the final movie of the movie series, theres just no way. So anticlimactic and awful. |

We got tix in advance, but in our small town it really wasn't necessary for the show we went to (4:50 pm). When we came out, tho, there was a HUUUGE line
for the 7ish show! It was ok, for me, like the books. It was definately marketed towards the 13 yo girls and as I could hear/see they LOVED it! The squealing
and giggling was, well, pretty funny! The soundtrack was great, and it was cool, since we've had the cd, to see how the songs were placed. I LOVE the
Linkin Park song, "Leave out All the Rest, and the Muse song and placement was really cool. It was funny, my daughter said when Edward and Bella finally
kissed, someone in front of them goes "Bow Chicka wow, wow" lol! The acting and overall, well, ok. It's NO Harry Potter by far, but entertaining
and fun to see the teenie bopper girls having so much fun!

I took my 11 and 13 year old daughters to see this. My youngest had read the book. I didn't know anything about it, except they wanted to see it.
I enjoyed it and thinking back to when I was their age, I would have loved it. The angst of young, forbidden love.....*sigh* And the actor that plays Edward is gorgeous. He needs to do something about the eyebrows, but he was fun to watch. |

It's a movie about beings that enjoy the darkness of night time, per se.

Explain it?
Go on, say the word: Vampire. Written by a bad writer. Lots of young girls secretly getting off on the idea. VAMPIRE. They want him to fall into them. Sorry, I've been in an aldav writing spree lately. |

At least there are only four books 'cause her new series fubar'd when she tried to squeeze soemthing new and exciting from the guy's point of view.
"Go on, say it" "HUMAN" See?? Doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? "She doesn't die or sparkle in the sun, she' just sits there, turning red and blistering, then, she peels the dead skin and eats it" |

I read the first book and it can be summed up as truly shitty. Tell that to a Twilight fan, it's incredibly fun because they feel the need to staunchly
defend it, but their language skills are so poor they can be deftly pwned and laughed at. Plus I think we all know that poor grasp of the English language +
passionate love for something = epic lols.
Plus it looks like it has the ugliest, most hobotastic cast I've ever seen. Neither of the leads can properly express themselves in interviews, and always look extremely uncomfortably and anxious, which leads to me to believe they're addicted to heroin. But they both seem to really hate all their fans, plus the books, so that gives it an extra layer of hilarity.

ZOMG I <3 the books! HOWEVER, I get fucking annoyed by the obsessive fans. ''Do you remember page 461 from New Moon? Like, whoa! As if the trees
would be that green!''
I live in WA, so it's cool to know the atmosphere so well. |
