    I can't provide the link cuz I kinda lost it...

    But yeah, I love this line:

    REALLY? Too complex? Really?

    Here's the plot of Breaking Dawn:

    Wedding. Pregnancy spanning one month. Mutant baby birth resulting in dead Bella. Bella is made into a vampire. Jacob makes baby his mate. Baby gets older. Vampire law hears about baby and comes to kill it. Baby is excused for being 'special' and they leave again.

    The End.
    That was one of my friend's summaries. Here's another one:

    Bella gets married to edward, gets pregnant, jacob whines for a good portion of the book, bella gives birth to a half vampire half human, bella gets turned into a vampire, volturi finds out and goes out to kill bella and the family. cullens bring together large ass army to fight them off(should i mention the climax of the book is only like....three pages long? no joke, the whole fight scene was supposed to be the big 'climax/event' of the story). Cullens miraculiously have no one die in the fight and then bella and edward live happily ever after -.-

    So yeah....definitely waaaaay too complex for one film >_>

    Now what about Harry Potter? Oh right...that's not complex at all...

    Snape and Yaxley meet outside Malfoy Manor. Meeting of Death Eaters. Snape reveals true time of escort, Yaxley refutes saying other evidence, Snape says it's wrong. Voldemort asks for Lucius wand, kills Hogwarts teacher. Harry cut himself and then steps on tea...then reads article about Dumbledore. Then reads Rita Skeeter article. Then talks to Dursleys.......

    um yeah you get the point. There's about fifty million things that happen in the book, plus even more nonstop character development (something ALWAYS good for a book :wink:) and that's why it's broken into two parts....

    Oh and then there's this:

    http://www.nydailynews.com/entertai...ellan_lutz_and_ashley_green_over_pay_che.html
    I love Ashley and Kellan and I think they have every right to ask for more money with the amount the movies rake in >_>

    So yeah, to all you Twilight fans out there, kiss my rump, because this is just becoming nothing but a drama-filled, money-squandering, non-character developing, poor acting, poor story-filled movie/book series :slight_smile:

    I rest my case

    :slight_smile:
     
  2. I hate Twilight. It's so bland and uninteresting. There's really nothing special about it. It's also ridiculously sexist. And LOL at the studio for doing this. They're just money whores. xD

    I don't hate Twilight but I don't love it.

    I do despise people who go full on hate, like *certain* members here :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    But to be honest, if they recast Ashley, I may not bother watching the last movie. She's like, my fav. actress in the movies.

    Just letting you know Tim, I never said I full on hate it :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I go see the movies when they come out. I bought all four books and read them cover to cover (New Moon sucked because after chapter 5 it got soooooo boring). And I'm looking forward to Eclipse for the battle scene. But other than that, not really a fan. And yeah, I love Ashley/Alice. And Emmett's perfect eye candy :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.

    I neither love or hate Twilight. I've only seen half of the first movie and read the first page of the first book, so I'm not too informed and I don't care about the series.

    However, I don't understand the intense obsession or the intense abhorrance of Twilight. It's only a book and movie series, not a philosophy or definition of all vampire entertainment. It seems like the 'cool' thing to do to hate Twilight. If you don't like it, don't see or read it. It's as simple as that.

    Whether you worship or loathe it, Twilight will continue to bring in truckloads of money from books, movies, and merchandise sales and Stephanie Meyers will continue to do cartwheels to the bank.

    Why only the first page?? Lol


    I love Twilight, but it's not that great. I think the story is pretty interesting but the writing itself is crap. Idc if people hate it, but I hate when people hate it because they think it's cool to hate it.

    Maybe if the acting was better or the vampires wouldn't sparkle in the sun it would be slightly less horrific.

    They need to stop making these btw.

    I actually did the exact same thing. Back in the days before the book became so widely hated, I wanted to give it a fair chance, so while I was at my local library, I picked it up and started reading it. I put it down after reading a paragraph. I find Meyer's writing style so unreadable that I wasn't able to get beyond the first half of a the first page of the first book. It is very reminiscent of my own writing style when I try to write fiction, and believe me, than is NOT a compliment.

    Quoted for truth. The issue, though, is that it is the most popular vampire series out there, so sadly, it almost is a definition of all vampire entertainment, especially because I bet a lot of the fans aren't very familiar with the original vampire myth.

    Still, Twilight is nothing more than pop literature, and popular media will always pander to the lowest common denominator, because those in the lowest common denominator are easiest to pander to. If you try to appeal to people with taste, you run into the issue that people with taste have different tastes. Thus, they aren't as profitable of a market as the lowest common denominator. And because popular media is driven by profits, guess who it's going to pander to?

    I liked the books but I hated the movie. I didn't even bother to see the second one [though I think one of my friends is going to force me to see it this summer, along with Eclipse].
    And nooo! Ashley/Alice is my favorite! V__V I want her to be in the movies when I'm forced into seeing them!

    I read the books, found them uninteresting, and haven't watched the movie.

    The series is so shallow. The only reason that they're splitting the movie is to try and attract more hype.

    LOL. That's what my question was. I basically can't help but think "are you trying to copy Harry Potter or something >_>?"

    wasent breaking dawn 750 pages?

    Here is the thing. harry potter and the deathly hallows was 750 pages that could be cut down to say 600-650 pages without dramatically changing the plot.

    Breaking dawn was 750 pages that could have been cut down to 200 pages without dramatically changing the plot... THERE WAS NO FRIGGAN PLOT TO THAT BOOK!

    Bella gets her wedding... bella gets roughsexed... bella gets knocked up... Bella vomits fountains of blood... edward chews through her stomach, then through her uterus, then rips the baby out... jacob takes one look at that hours old infant, and decides that it is his sexmate, ugh, I mean pedoplaything, ugh, I mean humptoy, ugh, soulmate... bad guys show up, they talk for a few pages, and war is over.

    ^^Breaking dawn in 70 words.^^

    There is only one reason why they broke the film into two, and that reason is deathly hallows. the moment deathly hallows was announced as being two films, stephenie meyer was, within hours, claiming breaking dawn will have to be two films, causes theres just so much to it.

    Summitt makes me sick for giving in to stephenie meyers deluded, almost criminal sex fetishes *bella is a whiny slut, edward is a stalker, and jacob is a pedophile... nuff said*.

    And she compaires herself to austin, bronte, shakesphere, and rowling... and I would not even put rowling with that list, and I would not be surprised if jk rowling herself would question being on that list herself...

    What a deluded, sick person.

    I would be okay with it if these movies were crafted with skill instead of being cranked out every 6 months.

    honestly, I think the biggest problem with twilight is that as books, and by extension, as films, they ask absolutely nothing of the readers.

    They do not challange you to think one single bit.

    The author has put abosolutely no real thought into them, often leading them to ramble and derail constantly from themselves as she wrote whatever popped into her head. She tells us something is impossible, and never will happen, sometimes with a lame, half assed attempt as explaining why it can't happen, then she turns around, does it anyways, and pretends she never said it was not going to happen.

    The characters are not developed enough even to be called 'cardboard cuttouts', and tend to simply be shallow half-imprints of what they could have been. The only real attributes to them are their physical descriptions, and cliched, over abused, and highly unutilized personality traits that are in the end far and few behind... Even if you jammed every single character stephenie meyer wrote in twilight together into one person, they would still be a long ways off of being close to half the personality a real person usually has.

    The books are just vastly lazy.

    Harry Potter kept you guessing, and told a epic story from beginning to end, constantly building on itself until you are so wrapped up into the grandness, but humaness of the story that you are taken from beginning to end, a emotional ride that even for a fantasy, rings incredibly true. The characters are highly developed for a childrens/young adult series, and the emotions are powerful, and ring true.

    J.K. rowling took us on a amazingly deep journey through good and evil, and the struggles of growing up, and dealing with love and loss.

    Stephenie Meyer sexed her way through fanfiction of her perverse sex dream of being stalked, basically molested, and eviceserated by a unnaturally hawt, overpowering douchebag, then giving the child basically away to a pedophile who lusted over her, but changed his mind once he set eyes on her infant child.
