Alright....legit question here.

My wife is over the moon with this franchise and mentioned that she'd love to see 1/6 Representations of the characters here. Now, they are all plain clothed for the most part, so if a custom head of Edward Cullen was done would enough people get in on it to warrant it? I'm thinking I'd earn major points if I could surprise her with a custom Edward but don't want to pay the price of an individually done custom....

Nope, don't see it.

I don't mean this in a negative way at all, but here is more of a perfecting meeting of property and collectible company...

Tonner baby.

 

[The Mike]

Huh that might work. Slim chance it'll be out by Christmas though.

 

[The ill Jedi]

shuddup!

Tonner baby.

Twilight's gayness is complete.

So I saw the flick last night over Rachel Getting Married. In retrospect, should have seen Rachel. most of the dialogue was pretty bad, except for Edwards; he made the entire movie for me. Of course there were actual girls wearing cheerleading outfits in the theater, don't know why they were wearing those outfits, but I wanted to strangle them.

The plot seemed kind of iffy for me, 3 other vampires just happen to come into town to kill people. What was up with the black guy being a badass, then the next minute being a good guy and going to peter facinini. With his character swing, he should be on heroes. And for $37 million, the effects weren't all that impressive

Just an observation, but if vampires wanted to remain hidden, after they kill, why didn't they hide the bodies afterwards? Or did those 3 just not care and did whatever they wanted. OH, don't if it was intentional, but whenever Jasper looked at the camera, I just had to laugh

It was Friday, right? Hopefully they were actually cheerleader who went to the movie after a football game.

Those 3 didn't care. They wanted to be blantantly murderous. The Cullen Clan are "vegetarians" they only hunt animals so for them it isn't a big deal to hide anything. Oh and you were supposed to laugh, Jasper's "He looks like he is constantly in pain" is him trying to stop himself from ripping apart the students in bloodlust. Remember he is a newer vampire who is still learning to control it.

28 Reasons That ‘Twilight’ the Movie Is Better Than ‘Twilight’ the Book

After reading it and showing it to my wife (who disagreed as most house fraus will....just got slapped on the shoulder for that) you look at the movie in a new light and appreciate what Hardwicke has done.

Most of those were hilarious

 

[Darklord Dave]

I would agree with all those reasons - they're funny because they're true.

'Twilight': A hater's guide

Nov 28, 2008, 02:30 PM | by Clark Collis, Entertainment Weekly

Let's assume you're an adult male who has somehow avoided reading EW's 1,783 recent Twilight cover stories. You may be thinking, "Hey, this thing made a ton of money; maybe I should see it." You shouldn't. Twilight has no more to offer you than a sale at Sephora (FYI: Apparently, that's a lipstick emporium of some sort). Oh, sure, the premise of this horror movie sounds enticing: A hot teenage girl (Kristen Stewart) moves to a new school in the rugged Pacific Northwest, where she discovers that the man of her dreams (Robert Pattinson) is actually...a vampire! It's Near Dark-meets-Deliverance, right? Incorrectamundo! This adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling novel (for girls!) is actually the lamest episode of 90210 ever made combining forces with the second-lamest episode of 90210 ever made.

In fact — and this is the crucial point — Twilight is not a horror movie at all, just an excuse to feature the two leads making cow eyes at each other. Pattinson and his band of fellow goth-nerds only feast on the blood of, uh, cute animals, which might irk the folks at PETA, but does not a terrifying movie make. This interminable kissyfest is as frightening as an average edition of The View (FYI: Apparently, that's a daytime chat show of some sort). Yes, if you take a ladyfriend, she will repeatedly clutch your knee — which, after all, is the principal raison d'être of the horror genre. However, she will do this not from fear but to alert you to some aspect of Pattinson's total dreaminess. That's no way to spend an evening when there is beer to be drunk, sports teams to be supported, or, indeed, paint to watch dry.

A write up like that makes you wonder how a hetero adult male can actually enjoy this movie...glad i missed it.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Well, saw this today with my wife and I actually really enjoyed it. Don't know why it's getting all this bashing from people who haven't even seen it, but I liked it. Good storyline, cool fight scenes and some good laughs.

i wish all movie reviews were like this.

i wish all movie reviews were like this.

What? Twisted, factually inaccurate and misogynist?

It's reinforcing stereotypes and it's obvious the writer hasn't seen the movie.

well actually i really only liked the very last sentence.

I'll just point out that the only ignorant ones here are the ones that are bashing something they haven't seen. If you want to see this and you dislike it, then fine. But if you haven't seen it, how the ^^^^ can you know what you're talking about?
