re: Twilight, the last insult (spoilers)

Wait...

My wife got the DVD. In order to avoid spending theater dollars on it, I had agreed months ago to watch it with her when it came out on DVD.

As my mother was dying in the hospital of breast cancer, she had twilight 1-3 playing in rotation. She loved the movies.

I thought the 1st one was ok. The 2nd was among the worst films I have ever seen.

You say those (like that's the only reasons you watched the movies), but then you seem to be dropping knowledge from the books like you read them.

I'm confused.

Twilight sucks, its fiction written for teenage girls.

--Sunlight kills vampires.


(ETA read first book, saw first two movies)

I give all Vampire and Zombie movies a chance.

Well in the book nothing happens. They just face off and the Volturi cave in. So this looks like some kind of meet in the middle stuff.

This is what i thought everyone already knew. The writer of the books sort of toned down the violence in favor of the love story angle. And the books concluded with everyone "talking it out" and having this cheesy happy ending.

The only way the movies would have been any different, would have been if they had changed the book ending completely. But i do agree that the ending action scene was probably thrown in for those who wanted some fight scene or something at the very end.

I think I'd feel the opposite.

So the movie at least has this cool action fight scene at the end where the book they just talk it out?

Give me the fight scene even if it is a fake out in terms of the story. The story is shite anyway.

I never read them.

I tried to read the first one a few years back. I couldn't get through it.

The other poster is dropping book knowledge, not me.

You threw me off when you said this:

Anyway, I saw one of the movies in the theater with my ex (she fricking LOVED them), and the whole time I was sitting there thinking "This is what so many people are losing their shite over??" It also didn't sit well with me that little girls love Twilight, and one of the main focuses of whatever one we were watching (the third one maybe?) was that Kristen Stewart was begging Robert Whatshisface to take her virginity. Literally begging him. That shite pissed me off, especially since I had little cousins who were furiously into Twilight. What a horrible message to be sending little girls...that you should beg someone to take your virginity because you think you're in love with him. I was pissed.

This book is a horrible message for young girls. Bella is everything girls should not be.
