what i’m more impressed with is how the hell the Blind Side made over 40 mil this week, and is now at around 100 million at the box office. its a big hit that hasn’t really been recognized, and i don’t get the appeal.

i think Pattinson was not comfortable or wasn’t really into his role.. at times during the movie i felt like he was preventing himself from a big laugh !!.. this is true for both : Twilight and New Moon.

the make up goes with the vampire thing.. Bella wasn’t one , however , her strikingly pale face makes u feel that she will definetly transform at any minute !! exciting , isn’t it??

the movie encouraged me to read both stories .. and i am looking forward to Part 3..

you’ll be happy to know though on the FJ podcast we just recorded we didnt talk about Twilight for more than 25 seconds.

OF COURSE it’s not there. I know you hold blockbusters in high regard (as well as Pixar), but jesus, get out a little.

lets pretend that everyone who saw Twilight loved it. I’m also going to ask to ignore the score here because lots of people who havent seen it have assuredly voted 1 as an act of defiance.

The actual reviews though show that lots and lots of fans are let down with this film. Now, keeping this in mind, when the next film comes out next summer, I’d be willing to bet we’re still going to see a similarly massive opening weekend box office, and that these same people who have trashed this film will see it opening weekend with anticipation.

I get the feeling you think the success of Twilight keeps me up at night, when really its a matter of me having a complete and utter lack of respect for it, and its all a matter of the FILM’S quality not being there.

I have not attacked the books beyond what I could grasp of the story through the film. For all I know they’re fantastic.

i still think its weird though after your years of calling pixar childrens entertainment, you’re willing to stand up for teen girls’ vapid sex fantasies

sure, guys will pop for wrestlers, sports teams, lots of things, but as much as i could target them, i usually see them popping when they actually DO something or on specific cues rather than a constant wall of noise.

Saw 7?

And I’ll defer to what I mentioned before, when other film franchises like Indy 4 or Spidey 3 fail to satisfy their fans, they call for their heads and do stupid boycotts, etc. Even though Twilight fans are evidently much more than willing to make fun of the movie and talk about how it doesnt live up to the book, when an outsider to the books do it they go nuts, and they will still gladly vote it best movie at any Peoples Choice type award.

Other fanboys attempt to kill movie franchises that go sour, or at least hope their over the top rage with force the makers to correct the ship. Twilight fans have apparently rewarded a shitty first film with the permission to make an even shittier one. Why would the studios strive for better when the fans don’t ask for better?

THAT is hilarious. and sad.
