^ LOL @ barely anything happens!
I llike Twilight, but I don't think it's um. IDK how to say it, like "deep" enough, like the storyline needs working with u know?
Girl meets vamp, girl falls in love, vamp leaves girl, girl meet wolf, etc.
Don't get me wrong, it makes for nice reading on a boring day.

And then I remembered a clip of the movie I'd seen on a talk show and that the other werewolves are played by Native American actors (or rather actors of color who could concievably be NA). Am I surprised? No, because that's Hollywood. But I am disheartened that considering how big the Twilight franchise has become, no one has seemed to take notice and no one has spoken out about it. I did a couple of Google searches to see if any articles would pop up and I didn't find anything but a facebook petition group. Shaking my head. |

Eh. I'm NOT a fan of the movies. The acting is terribly painful in my opinion and I couldn't get through a half hour of the first film. Robert Pattison's face has scarred and ruined my perfect, 'in my head' vision of my own Edward.
I do however enjoy the books. The first one is my favorite, but I've liked them less and less as she wrote each book. The last one I hated and I personally felt like Stephaine bombed big time on that one.
I wish she would continue writing Midnight Sun. I really wanted that to come out and was SO excited for Edwards POV and then some dumb*ss gave out the transcript and RUINED it for everyone.
Hopefully she'll change her mind sometime in the future...

I agree. I hated new moon. And eclipse wasn't that great but it beat new moon. Twilight was the best one, and breaking dawn was crappy. I lost interest personally.
I think keeping us on edge about changing her was probably the only thing that kept me reading it. And then came in the epic failure.

I saw it last night at midnight..only because my friend DRAGGED me with her. I hadnt seen any of the other ones or read the books. It was ok, not as cheesy as I expected. Have fun!

Re: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Bear in mind this review is from a DIE HARD Twilight fan.
The movie was AWESOME. I really liked it, I didn't have high expectations because Eclipse was my least favorite book. The book was totally a filler and read like that as well. My best friend didn't like the movie, she said it was annoying to see Edward getting played by Bella over and over and if she saw Jacon without his shirt she'd scream. Lol
It maybe hard for "non-book readers" to really get into the film because the screen play is highly based off the book, so things may come across weird or cheesy. There's no way to protray all of the emotions without it looking weird...if that makes since. Yes, it was hard for Bella because even though she knew she loved Edward, Jacob was there when he wasn't, so she had strong feelings for him too.
All and all it was a really good movie; it tops New Moon. It doesn't top Twilight becuase when Edward says "You don't know how long I've waited for you" ah my heart melted.
The best part of the moview...I got to Edward and all his porecelain beauty.

Re: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
I saw it at midnight! I was very pleasantly surprised! I went in expecting it to be pretty terrible, especially since the first two films were rather bad, but I was happy with it! I was glad it stuck to the book very closely, Eclipse is my favorite of the series, and where it did change, it was well done. I am so happy with David Slade's direction; he really seemed to get the actors, especially Kristin Stewart, to act well! haha! This is definitely the best film of the three!

Re: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
I hated the first movie. Liked the second one because of Jacob. I'm worried I'll hate Eclipse because I strongly dislike both Rob Pattinson (who wasn't really in the second movie much - hence why I enjoyed it more) and Kristen Stewart. Worst actors in the world IMO.
I love book Edward. Rob Pattinson is NOT Edward. Who chose these actors?!?! Actually - the entire Cullen family are not matched very well to their actor counterparts. And Kristen Stewart? I mean, really?!
I'm gonna be quiet now, lol. Too much Twilight Saga movie hate!
