Chreees Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So who's going to see it? I'm being dragged along by my girlfriend to the midnight premeire... But I gotta admit, the first one wasn't bad...The theatre here has 16 screens for the premeire tonight and ALL the tickets are sold out...I actually heard that all the theatres in TN are sold out for it.

RogueSmoker Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Yep...I'm being dragged by my wife to go see it. IMHO I think this whole vampire stuff going on now is the biggest crock of BS I've ever laid my eyes on. I wouldn't be suprised to see kids walking around with bite marks on them thinking they're vamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynysterPhoenix Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Luckily my GF hates this stuff, so im not being dragged to it. I know a few female, and even a few male friends that are excited though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But vamp literature and media in general can be great and pretty fascinating. Vampires are an exciting and easily accessible fictional medium that explores our mortality, weaknesses, and violent and/or sexual tendencies and appetites.Go watch True Blood! Great show.

Hippo_Master Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I have never seen someone act as bad as kristen stewart did in that movie. How many times can a person actually blink in a matter of 1 hour? Ask Kristen Stewart, she knows. Her mouth was agape for more than 90% of the movie. And those special effects, like the edward the vampire running around trees and shit and up hills - what were they thinking? No wonder they fired the director. This next one will of course be a better movie, but it will suck fat cock as well. Have you seen the werewolves? Jesus F. Christ.This is simply a movie for girls, but girls. If you have a girlfriend you are going to see it no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rani Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I love vampire movies. But this series is clearly marked for teenagers (or not much beyond). Even True Blood and Vampire Diaries are geared towards younger audiences. What happened to the likes of Bram Stoker's Dracula? Romantic, sexy, and enticing?'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It soooooooo sucked compared to the book. Tom Cruise as Lestat was the worst piece of casting in history though Brad Pitt did okay as Louis.

Link Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I hate Twilight for the obvious reasons (crap books, crap movies) but I REALLY resent it because it's ruining vampires for everyone. I'm no loser who thinks vampires are real bla bla, but I really enjoy fictional works of all kinds, and obviously theres some great fictional works about vampires. Lately I can't read anything with a vampire in it without being persecuted, haha. Whatever, not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Keanu was the weak link in the cast, but Gary Oldman? He could totally kick the living shit out of these pussy, sparkly vamps.See, the thing about this Twilight nonsense is basically this is a story about a dude who falls in love with a hamburger. Oldman's Dracula managed to be a romantic while at the same time portraying a ruthless predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleTheJustin Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I remember when vampires used to be unable to go in the sun. Blade, the exception, at least had a good background story that didn't circulate around teenage girls getting hot over a dude that has a forehead 4 miles high.

Barnaby Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 *****************SPOILERS DON'T READ THIS IF YOU WANT SURPRISES!!!*****************************opening myself up for the flame here, but I will go on record saying that yes, I've read the whole twilight saga, and yes I enjoyed Twilight. While the books are slightly geared for the younger crowd, they're really not. I mean, fuck. The last book where Bella gets transformed into a vampire, its too bad they'll have to edit that shit down for pg-13, as I'd love to see them have Edward rip apart Bella's stomach with his teeth, to get their unborn half breed child out, then inject her into the heart with a syringe of his blood.. Good shit there.. Now, you can knock it all you want, but until you've sat down, read the whole series, and really look beyond all the things everyone knitpicks and snickers about, its a very good modern twist on a stale ass genre. It really gets more into the deeper questions of what it would be like to be and invincible immortal being. Do you let the power go to your head? Or do you try and be good, and not let your temptations rule your existence. This is what makes it a powerful story line. Take the ethical part, mix it into what it'd be like for a teenage girl to fall in love with someone like this, and you get some real human experience out of it. You get real characters that are fucked up, and not all perfect and shiny. Shit, by the end of the 2nd and 3rd book, you don't like the main characters. They're all a bunch of fucking douches really, but that's the appeal isn't. Real poeple, put in extraordinary circumstances, that try and get through. That's why you read it. To get a gimplse into a fantasy, that to be honest has always appealed to a majority of us. What would it be like to live forever, and have powers like that? What would you pay for it? At what cost would you pay for it? Is it worthy your immortal soul? The Twilight saga comes off very lightly on the surface, but really does get deep as the stories progress. As far as the movies go, I don't think I've seen a more accurate book to movie transfer, as Twilight. It's pretty much dead on, and that's a good thing. They did a great job on picking the cast, the music score was very good, and they did good on making an artsy, relatively light hearted movie, that establishes the series. They needed to, as its all downhill from here. The New Moon trailers worry me slightly, as maybe its the editing of the previews, but they may have changed a few things that go against the book. We'll see.. I'm not fond of the BS CGI wolves though. They look fake, as CGI always does. Fucking puppets and suits for life damnit!! I hope they don't cheese it up to much. Oh, and they are not technically werewolves, so the same rules do not apply. they are something different, as will be explained later in the story. So, F U ALL for judging me, I'll be there with the misses after the crowds die down. the 3rd and 4th book are were its at, so I'm not as physced to this one come to life, as the next two.
