I threw in the DVD and made some screencaps.
New Moon is painful.

Can't say I'd ever watch these films. Or read the books.
I like girls who buy (fall for) this shite because it's a safe bet not only will they fall for my shite, but they will invent a romantic soul living beside my coal like little heart that I can use to see frilly underwear.
As they have been for hundreds of years, including when all posters here were that age..Teenagers are idiots.
Am I the only man who likes these films? Yes the love story does sometimes get a bit annoying and so does Bellas emotional problems. New Moon can of was slow at the beginning but then really got going on. But overall the film was good. I like Twilight and New Moon. Can't wait for the next film.
It really is the ultimate bad-boy rationalization fantasy. The guy literally wants to drain you dry of blood, but he's still relationship material!
Actually he doesn't. He is the exact opposite of that. He only drinks from animals.
It's Bella who wants him to bite her and change her to a vampire. He's totally against it.
It's Meyer's little allegory for premarital teenage sex. She's a Morman who believes in abstinence, so instead of the guy pressuring the girl, she has the girl pressuring the guy who says 'no'.
I'm honestly very interested to see how they handle the fourth film.

He does want to drain her dry. He said so himself in the first film. Bella is the only girl who makes him feel that way. Which is why he disappeared for a few days at the beginning. Yeah I'm sad. I saw it more then once.
I heard that Jacob becomes a stalker or something and threatens to kill himself and then later marries Bella and Edwards baby. Which seems disturbing to me.

He 'wants' her, he 'burns' for her, but restrains himself. Pretty basic pre-marital sex analogy.
Breaking Dawn was bat-shit crazy the first half of the book, but the Vultari showdown near the end should be good
Jacob doesn't marry her, but 'imprints' on her for future marriage. Still disturbing, but there it is.
Bullshit.
You can roll your eyes as much as you like. Read some of the "why can't my boyfriend be more like Edward ?" crap Twilight fans plaster all over the Internet.
As to whether Stephanine Meyer's vampires fit convention: I haven't read the novels, but it is my understanding the vampires drink blood.
Therefore, they are vampires. That's pretty much the one basic, salient thing we can use to distinguish a vampire from something else, pretty much. There's been a lot of variation and I sort of poo-poo the notion of witholding the term just because it doesn't meet some arbitrary checklist (and the evolution has been completely arbitrary, as observed).
As for the novels/movies, haven't read or seen 'em. But I do think they're becoming awfully easy punching bags and that ship may have sailed.

Its really mediocre. But honestly its no worse than say Transformers in the acting and dialogue department.
I've only seen the 2nd one. I didn't like it. It was mostly slogging. I will say I like the actress who plays Bella, she is pretty and has an interesting face, i know that's a strange complement but it's not quite the 'usual' Hollywood starlet face.
Just remember though, the women you're at over Twilight is at Star Trek too. Sometimes it's OK to be a little accepting of people who like stuff you don't like.

The more interesting thing I'd like to see in the final movie is:
The fetus braking Bella's back and pelvis and Edward being required to rip open her uterus in order to get the baby out.
Bella & Edward are the dullest characters in the movies for me. I liked the werewolves. And the vamp doctor. They should make a movie about his past.
Are you sure you read anything in this thread?
Yeah, right, and what people say on the internet actually reflects what the majority of people think in real life. Er, no, actually it doesn't. Your comments make me wonder whether you actually got involved with a real woman in a grown-up relationship some time in you life. Because whether a woman likes Twilight or not doesn't have anything to do with how intelligent, lovable and interesting she can be.
Oh, it definitely has. The hate these novels and movies get is way out of proportion and ridiculously absurd.
What the fuck is wrong with you?Anyone who judges someone on his or her preferred entertainment is an idiot.
Ashley Greene wearing yellow contact lenses is hawt.
Not ALL women love it. Stereotype much?
While I found the Twilight riff quite entertaining, I'm still not sure if the funny was worth the headache I got from rolling my eyes at the movie itself. I don't think even a riff could convince me to sit through New Moon.
