They explain it in the last book.



Hahahha you totally missed it!!
It was SOO LAME, it was hard to watch with a serious face.

It was when she confronts him to being a vampire and then he rushes her off into the woods telling her "up the mountain, pass the whatever, you need to see me when i'm in the sunlight." And then he goes on this rock thing where the light is and......POW! bella dies because of the low special effects. Also they show him dazzling when they stare off into eachother in the meadow after their "lion falls in love with the lamb" deal.

well, can you explained it to me.

Well, you make do with what you can. I wasn't about to pay money to see this mediocre movie.


It doesn't matter who directed it; the fangirls still would have turned up to see their beloved Edward in action. It just so happens that the movie had a female director. I'm sure that there are some non-Meyer fans who saw the movie because they like Hardwicke's other films and wanted to see how she would do with this one.


Seriously? It turns out that Bella has this barrier thing that makes it so that no one else can see into her thoughts, and that it can be pushed out of her own mind to protect the ones around her. It's how she protects the big group of vampires at the end of the last book.

way to not use spoiler codes

Did someone spoil twilight for ?

what if they did? you got beef with a wantin to read him some twilight? you needa be supporting a fellow minority pickin up a book instead of a gun you hispanics are just as bad as the 's





although i doubt i'd read the last book to find that out. i meant more in general, that moorepocket and cristy should maybe not talk about details of the books in here in case some people wanted to read for themselves instead of have it explained

Yeah but JC, the books have been out for a while and the movie's been out for a few weeks now. Typically, spoiler tags aren't used after people have had ample time to read/watch content.

Just sayin' ;)

Also, I'm glad the director is out. I blame her for much of the negative aspects of the film adaptation. Now they just need to work on getting a better screen writer because some of the dialogue was cringe worthy.

I HAVEN'T HAD AMPLE TIME


you're right, you're right though.

Woah this aint got no beef with a reading. I mearly was just laughing at a tough guy can sit through twilight....Geeze..

i am pretty tough you're right

i didn't mean to spoil anyone book. i just want to know. I thought it was something discussed in the book "twilight" but they didn't incorporate it in the movie.

i fell asleep through this. one of my best friends is a huge twilight fangirl and she elbowed me in the middle because apparently, i was drooling.

most likely because i was dreaming about robert downing junior who is a million times hotter than robert pattinson or however you spell his name.

Thank you, Rebecca. We stopped using spoiler tags in the book thread about five days after Breaking Dawn came out, so yeah.

Anyway, I wonder if the movie series will go through a chain of directors like Harry Potter. I hope a good one is found for New Moon and then stuck with.

I seriously should stop watching the movie adaptations of books I've read because honestly that slightly sucked. Why was Rosalie so fat?

I know isnt this the most greatest smilie since there is no mexican santa claus
emoticon on the internet

Rosalie wasn't fat

Fatter than I'd expected.

i still think blake lively should have been rosalie...

Hmm I'm not part of this club or anything nor did I ever know what Twilight was. I plan on reading the book though, since I just saw the movie, I like to compare.

The movie isn't as bad as I expected though, but I wouldn't give it a 10/10 either.

So how many books are there anyway? Do they plan on making other movies? Do they plan on having better screen writers? I was really irked by the whole mood of this movie, but of course I haven't read the books yet so I wouldn't know what 'mood' is supposed to be in the movie.

I'll have to pick up all the books tomorrow if there is more, take me a couple of days to finish reading them.

they found a new director! it's the guy from golden compass.. that's all i know !

Yeaaahh.

AND THEY MIGHT PICK A NEW GUY TO PLAY JACOB!!!


DAMMIT. I LIKED HIM. I thought he was adorable.

Seriously. I take issue with much about the film, Rosalie was not a problem though, in my opinion. Her outfits, however, were hideous. Seriously, what was going on with that?

Dammit, I wish Taylor whateverhisnameis would grow up quicker! He was one of the positive things about the movie. His smile is absolutely adorable. I also hope that with the new director, the direction of the film won't be so goddamn cartoon-y. New Moon has some great potential. In fact, I think it should be an easier adaptation than Twilight. I don't know, it just seems like the storyline should translate to film with a bit more ease. That and thank f*cking god there shouldn't be more in the way of high school bullshit.

i think new moon will definitely play out better. since most of the book is just about bella and jacob all summer. there are major parts in there everywhere, but i don't think it will be hard to narrow it down, you know? i don't think it'll be as rushed as twilight. then again, i could be wrong.

Yeah, I just picture New Moon as a better film in general. Less clunky and cliche. Perhaps a bit more of an investment will be made with the effects as well this time around. No more Edward Glitter Jazz Hands. Because, damn. =/

ROFL They better make the wolves super awesome. I too am hoping that they invest more..idk..quality into New Moon. Twilight established the fan base, and now we're all pathetically eager to see it continued.

And Taylor was so effing adorable. I liked him a bit better than RPatz in the movie. =/

So I bought all the books last night and i finished twilight a hour or so ago. I probably would have finished sooner but I had work last night and stuff. These books are extremely easy to read, I figured they would take me longer than a few hours for being 500 pages or 400 something like that.

Anyway I am extremely disappointed by the movie now that I've read the book.
I hope they get a better director and screen writer this time around for New Moon, I heard that they weren't expecting it though and that they we're finishing the movie in 12 weeks and it would come out next year around thanksgiving.

I don't know how much truth is in that though, someone that Josh works with that is obsessed with these books and stuff was telling me yesterday. But of course I saw somewhere that the movie wasn't even planning to come out until 2010.

^I love your icon, I just want to steal it. :D

DUDE.

New Moon will come out November 20, 2009.


A YEAR! Nope, Holly you were right. In just a year. They better not eff up New Moon. It isn't that hard to eff up. Unless you change them from changing into wolves to like...eagles.



I dont know what to say to this.


And Holly, my icon? The Chair/Bluck one?

Yes, I love Chuck and Blair :D


And I don't know about New Moon, I've heard that so many people are expecting it to be horrible. I haven't read the book yet so once I do I'm sure I can't see them messing it up. Although I read Twilight and I just can't see how they changed around some things, it would have been easy and I still think it could have been budget friendly to do the things that we're by the book instead of things they put in the movie.

Who knows though, I hope for the best, especially since I'll be paying around $15 to see the next one >_> damn new york for high prices.

Haha seeing it here would have been around $4.

Wait, you pay $15 to see a movie? Good god. It wasn't worth that much.



They always change things claiming that it'll make it better. But read New Moon, Holly! I think that one was my favorite. Eh, next to Eclipse.

And I love Chuck/Blair. They're so adorable and perfect for eachother. [/fangirl moment

Real name: Robert Johnson
Favorite book: Eclipse (so far)
Favorite character: Alice Cullen
Favorite scene: hmm.. in the movie it was funny shit when Rosalie threw down the glass bowl. haha

i don't think they willll! hopefully they won't change anything about the characters due to the fact because THEY'LL LOSE FANS OF TAYLOR LAUNTER! heh XD i hope they don't change anythingggg! and i hope they don't rush it, like try to make the movie come out asap... like late 2009, it won't be too good ;]! there is a lot of computer graphics in new moon because of the fights and werewolves! they better take there freaking time!


by the way i want to join this movie clubbb :D~

Real name: Shannon
Favorite book: Twilight & Breaking Dawn (: I can't choose either/or.
Favorite character: Alice Cullen
Favorite scene: When Alice gets utterly excited about Bella's wedding :D!

Did you read the book?

I went to see the movie with about 5 people who didnt read the book and they loved it and they didnt feel like it was choppy or rushed.

I think people who did read the book felt that way because they were comparing it.


Oh, and the official release date is November 20, 2009 ... for New Moon.

yeah i read it

Oh I'm reading all of the books, they are really easy to read. I mean I read twilight in a few hours so I'm sure I can read the rest the same Although I'm going to keep the last two for the airport, because I'm going to be sitting in terminals all day Christmas. haha.

And yea in New York movies are typically around that much, but in NC its typically around $4.

I never really heard anything about twlight except from my cousins and my aunt loved the movie but my cousin who read the book wasn't impressed so I downloaded it to be honest *shrug

So once I'm done I'll be sure to decide which is my favorite. :D

HAHA. Yeah, he's adorable but he's also a walking advertisement for Crest Whitening Strips.

if lautner could buff up and get tall enough by the time they start shooting...then they wouldn't change him. they're not changing jacob's actor because they didn't like taylor or anything, it's only because he physically cannot play the roll. we all know that, correct? i just don't understand why so many people are freaking out over it...

If they replace him, I'm supporting Steven Strait because, DAMN. And bonus, he could pass for an older Lautner.

i guess it's because they find really good looking. hah, i don't know.. in my theory i don't like jacob black! heh (;

OMFGYES.

Just clicked that link.

Steven =

He's my kind of man right there.

Oh my, that Steven guy would like very nice :D

hah Finished New Moon yesterday, not bad. I was sad that Edward wasn't in it more, but I'm glad he's back. I won't read the others until christmas, long airport waits.

All the books will be made into movies, I think.


Really? Although The Golden Compass is totally incomplete at the end (a LOT more stuff happens in the book), it's so prettily done. I liked it.


New York City? It's about that much for general admission most theaters, but I know of one that's under $10. It's where I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

heh i never saw golden compass, but my father and brother said it was pretty alright. hmph, Chris says he's planning on trying to make it good (:

"Dear fans of Twilight, New Moon, Bella, Edward and Jacob,

In the past few days I have been involved in a whirlwind romance with Stephenie Meyers' extraordinary books.

And I am very grateful to have received her permission to protect New Moon in its translation from the page to the screen.

For fans of the books and of the film of Twilight, this may come as an unexpected twist. So I want to write briefly to try to put you at ease, and to give you reason to hope for and expect the best.

For the last decade of my career as a director, I have chosen to make adaptations of complex and involved works of literature. This has always begun with the love of a book and its characters, story, and theme; and it has always involved a respect of and responsiveness to the feelings of other people who loved those books.

When I saw the film of Twilight, I was alternately entranced and left hungry for more. I was also struck by the extraordinary passion for the characters, story and theme that was evident in the people sitting in the seats around me. My job is to live up to that devotion.

Like many of you, I am a fan of Catherine Hardwicke's work. I can't really say much about why she is not doing New Moon because I wasn't involved in those decisions. But I can say that I will devote myself to making the very best and most faithful version of New Moon that can be brought to the screen. To those who doubt that as a male director I can capture Bella's experience, I can only say that emotion is universal and that my work has often involved working with some of the most talented actresses in the world.

For the rest, the proof will have to be in the pudding. But I promise to remain responsive to your hopes and fears.

I thank you for this opportunity and for your faith.

Very best,

Chris Weitz"

*writes letter to producers*

*begs the film gods*

...for Steven Strait.

He was actually my first choice for Jacob, but I felt ok about the Taylor since he fit the age of Jacob in Twilight. However, for some of the juicy stuff that happens in Eclipse, dear LORD... please cast Steven. That is all.

New Moon grew on me the second reading. I was so wrapped up into the Edward thing that I just couldn't get past the lack of o' sparkly one in the book. For some reason, the more repeat reads I do, the more I like Jacob. Although, I'm still left funkified because of the last book. =/ (sorry for the book ranting, but since there's a chance they might all be film adaptations...)

i don't get the hype with edward. he's such a little girly kind of guy, plus he's overly whipped.


i'd rather be a badass wolf man than some guy with glitter all over him.

^ That's sort of my turn-around stance. I think that when I first started reading the book, I was sorely lacking romance in my life so Edward with the swoon festing shit sort of hit the right spot, at that time. Now things in my life are... hmm, better in that front? hehe Jacob is more for me right now. Warm, strong, agile and good with cars. ;)

yeah i mean edward is just so boring. he doesn't' do anything cool but sit around and stare into bella's eyes and stuff like that. he's just cheesy in general, but so is bella. did they ever do anything cool? not really. at least with jacob she got to jump off cliffs and ride motorcycles and stuff.


i'm always posting in these topics. i don't even like these f*cking books!

hmmmmm

Some people just like sparkly things.

And, oh yes. Steven Strait + Eclipse= He'd be PERFECT!

JC, you're in denial. :P

I get what you're saying though. Jacob is infinitely a more interesting and better written character than Edward, in my opinion.

I do hope that Jacob isn't slighted in the film in the respect that things are always cut short a bit. He's a main character in that book. If they decide to cut him more to have more Edward, I'll be throwing shit at the screen.

And yes, Kristina. OH YES.
