HUEG SPOILER: it's gonna suck.

Why so pessimistic?
Well, yeah, it's possible that the book to movie translation COULD ruin everything, but I'm not going to write off the movie before I see it!

In my opinion, the trailer seems pretty accurate so far, and I'm impressed with the acting!

Re: Anyone Else a Twilighter?

I hate Book -> Movie adaptations. I do love this series of books, however, don't get me wrong.

QFT

I also hate around 80% of movie adaptations. :[
Only good ones are LOTR, and they are so good they take up 20% of all movies :]

As for Twilight, thoroughly enjoyed it. Very good, captivating.

Edward + Bella ftw!

Skru u Jacob

Re: Anyone Else a Twilighter?

they made better movies than books though

honestly i appreciate that the guy founded the fantasy world as we know it but the books are just dull

something's wrong with you when your battles threaten to put the reader in a coma

OH WAIT I'M OFF TOPIC

what kind of name is "bella swan" anyway, the only thing worse and more blindingly obvious would be to name your character "pretty girl"

I may be biased, I don't know, but I don't think there is anything wrong with the name Bella (which is short for Isabella, a perfectly good name) Swan.

And guess what! Guys DO read Twilight. And like it.
Just look at this site, which I find really funny: http://www.twilightguy.com/

"Bella" is an obvious play on "Belle" which means beautiful. "Swan" is an obvious nod towards the animal, which are too often used as a symbol for - you guessed it - beauty. It's a ridiculous, cheesy name, and from what I've read in and heard about the book, it's Stephanie Meyer's wannabe persona which she executes no control over and ceaselessly attracts every single character in the book towards her. Fantasize somewhere else. I can't believe hacks like her strike it rich when skilled writers can go their entire lives without being noticed.

Also, the fact that that dude enjoys the books doesn't surprise me, as he talks like a complete twit.

Re: Anyone Else a Twilighter?

I think it's a creative name. Then again, when I was 6, I wrote a story about Ang Gree, an small Asian man with an explosive temper that could shoot lava from his fingers when he was agitated or riled.

PS: It's not a creative name.

Re: Anyone Else a Twilighter?

Vicious indictment, Tokzic!
I don't agree that Stephenie Meyer is a hack; she isn't the greatest writer in technical terms, and there are definately a lot of more-talented writers out there, but she created a really enjoyable and interesting plot line and characters. That's why the book has as many fans as it does.

I do agree that Bella's name is not creative, but it doesn't detract from how much I love the series.

P.S. I would love to read your story about Ang Gree, Mal. =]

Re: Anyone Else a Twilighter?

Read it because I heard it was good.
I finished the series.
Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse.

Re: Anyone Else a Twilighter?

Unrelated except it's in Sarah's sig: LOVELY BONES MOVIE? WHY, GOD, WHY? Why are the greatest books always turned into movies that will turn out terrible?

Related: I learned about this series through Facebook. It seems like something I would have been into in Middle/High School. Now it sounds kind of... juvenile? But I can't judge. It's apparently huge and I like when people read.
