I hear you. All the girls in my school are talking about how they want to fellate Edward Cullen.

Re: Twilight - top 5 best-selling dvd!

I absolutely love the Twilight series also. I am on the Eclipse one now. But I think the movie ruined the whole essence of the story. It wasn't as good as the book, which it can never be, but they altered and took out so many important details. I suppose some acting was good, especially the baseball scene and the prom scene, but overall I think they could have done better, considering Twilight being one of the most famous and loved books of all time.

Well, even Stephany knew they had to, because it just wouldn't be the same.

I agree, it is famous for a reason. It wouldn't have made New York Times Best Seller list if it wasn't. The story and the characters are what we all fell in love with. It really is crazy how loved it is, but I don't blame them because it was something entertaining enough for all ages.

The books will ALWAYS be better than the movie. But I find myself loving the movie the more I watch it. Of course they can't have everything in there, because it would be too long and boring in my honest opinion.

I got the Target DVD and it has extra features. They are pretty darn awesome, but maybe you can find them on YouTube. It's this full interview with Stephanie Meyer and she talks about writing the book and stuff.

Re: Twilight - top 5 best-selling dvd!

I watched the movie cause Kirsten Stewart is in it.

And yes, I read the books. Well, the first two. They are the biggest pile of recycled garbage ever. I could pick out plot lines and attribute them to different books and movies.

Wanna see a real honest love movie? Go see Adventureland.

You even get to see a side view of Kirsten Stewart's tits.

Kristen Stewart's failure at being interesting or talented completely negates her moderate cuteness.

Re: Twilight - top 5 best-selling dvd!

I've read the first book of the series, and I'm starting the second one.

Stephanie Meyers had a dream about a vampire and a human female laying in a field, and she thought it was so interesting, that she wrote it down, and added things until she couldn't stop - which is what the Twilight series is, in the end of all things. I don't think she was aiming to be as amazing as Stephen King, or Margaret Atwood, or whomever else, but she just wanted to write a story about characters that she fell in love with, and wanted to share them with others.

I think people are trying to compare her to a bar that she wasn't trying to reach for in the first place. She was just a everyday lady, who had a thought she liked, and wrote about it; and then it got really famous and turned into a movie.

Anyways. With all that being said, I will have to say that the books can get pretty tedious. We get it that Belle can't breath whenever Edward comes really close to her, and we also get the idea that Edward is as perfectly good looking as a greek god, but yeah. Kept me reading on, so that's a good thing.

EDIT: Oh, this is about the movie! Durrrr.

Well, I liked the movie. I'm a sucker for cheesy, cliche-like, romance flicks. They get me every time.

Yea, this is pretty much true. At least she was smart enough to save what career she had and got out of the Twilight thing.

Very true. Although, I thought Lord of the Rings was much more entertaining as a movie. I'm almost leaning that way with Harry Potter as well.

No. They started filming for New Moon a few weeks ago and she's in it.

Re: Twilight - top 5 best-selling dvd!

I think what made me have disrespect for the Books & the movie is that now whenever I say i'm a vampire fan, people assume its because of Twilight. I actually have to explain to people that i've been in love with vampires at a very young age.

I saw the movie in theatres for ****s & giggles. Although I hate myself for using my own money to see it. Ya, i'm kinda bitter. Thanks Twilight.

This is yet another example of Twilight ****ing things up with its bastardization of Vampires. I wonder what Mayer or Meyer or whatever her last name is will decide to bastardize next. The Frankenstein Monster? She could call it Thunder and it could be about another whiny ***** who catches the eye of the super Frankenstein monster but instead of being a reanimated jumble of corpses with stitches and **** on his forehead with bolts, he sparkles with rainbows and ice cream because thats how the author views Frankenstein.

Re: Twilight - top 5 best-selling dvd!

I love this movie Edward is so hot and Bella was so pretty no wonder many people watched this movie.

I think when i watched this movie I realized that vampires wasn't bad after all some of them are bad and some of them are nice and hot.

I am really looking forward for the next Movie the so called movie New Moon I really want to watch it even if I am still reading the book of New Moon i still want to see the movie..
