Twilight

Official Plot Synopsis: Twilight is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands – and he hasn’t aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he’s immortal. But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

    Hi I am 60 years old and have been reading fantasy books for ever. I really enjoyed these books (although a little bit young for me) I still thought they are well written and entertaining. I am even going to see the movie.
    I think anyone who knocks books that teenagers etc are willing to read and more importantly enjoy reading should get a life. Reading is one of the true joys of life and no-one should put anyone else down for what they read, we all have varying taste in books. You dont like the plot DONT READ IT simple
    cheers
  • DREW
    Pater can you stop posting about this movie, it's seriously like the lamest thing I've seen in a really long time. I mean REALLY, a vampire love story? It sounds (and looks) like one of those cheap Disney Channel movies. And if its possible to stack any more bricks in this pyramid of lameness, can I ask why all the vampires are really "clean" looking and dress like their posing for GQ? (As seen ini that featurtte previously posted) I'm really at a loss of words, this movie just looks so STUPID.
  • felishia
    you havent saw the movie yet have you then?
  • J Rich
    "you haven't "saw" the movie yet ... ?" W ... T ... F ... !? You didn't even say it ... you typed it ... Arrrrrrggggg! FOOL! You might start reading books and start with something like "Arthur goes to the zoo."
  • J Rich
    If I was a vampire ... I would kill you, I wouldn't eat you, I'd just kill you, and I would laugh. Overcome with joyful laughter, I would feel the pain of true happiness.
  • FANPIRE
    SHUT UP MAN DATS LIKE DA BEST FILM EVER IF YOU DONT LIKE U SHOULDT BE SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.YOU R SOOO STUPID
  • domonique

    "Let the Twilight Comment Wars continue!" - really, Peter? Why do I get the feeling you're enjoying this? :P

    Anyway, thanks for posting it. I've seen a few of these pics on the net, but haven't been able to track down all of them. Some of these are really cool. I can't wait to see what it looks like on the big screen - hopefully it won't be as ridiculous as everyone above me seems to think it will be. Haha.
  • duca
    Bah everything's so grey and pale... I'm not feeling the color schemes. It's so depressing.

    Hmmm... Why do I get the feeling Peter keeps posting these so we'll keep commenting...? CONSPIRACY!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. (That's my evil conspiracy laugh)
  • kaylyn

    Twilight +25 years: An elderly woman was arrested today when police raided her home after hearing reports that she had been carrying on an inappropriate relationship with a 17 yr old boy. When questioned the 42 yr old woman Bella explained that the boy was really much older and that he had been her lover for years.

    Seriously? Is he the only 17yr old in existence who doesn't have acne?
  • Luls
    such cool wires
  • Chimaera
    Hahaha. You guys forget that these are supposedly the more humane vampires that co-exist. I'm sure the evil ones don't wear designers...unless they've eaten them. Bwah ha ha *choke*...still working on my evil laugh.
  • Floppy
    @ Captain Awesome & Chimaera

    Holy shit I can't stop laughing and Chimaera where the hell are my damn s'mores?
  • Seriously? Is he the only 17yr old in existence who doesn’t have acne?

    That one got me good.
  • so he is still hot edward is muine back the fuck off
  • Emmanuel Munoz
    Can not get over his face............
  • Meli
    LOL! Damn it Peter now you're just egging people on. =P

    You definitely pick out the best pics of the bunch. I went to browse
    through the others and *yawn* ...I don't mind set photos,
    but why post ones of crew eating?? So we know they do eat? Sheesh. LoL

    @Duca - the movie will likely be pretty gray for the most of the movie because in Forks, WA the sun hardly ever shines.
  • Floppy
    I think that Nikki chick lied to me on the other thread about vampires not being able to get AIDS because...that dude...I'm just not sure.

    @ Meli

    If there's no sunshine how will the venomous vampires ever glisten oh so brilliantly? Haha, I'm just messing with you. I just couldn't resist and although you wont freak out on me for a cheap joke, some of your comrades probably will.
  • Meli
    @Floppy,
    I had a 'sparkling' vampire comment typed out with my
    previous comment, but I thought I'd take a break from
    making fun of that aspect. I'm far from being offended
    by any negative comments being made, for the most part
    I think they're hilarious. The books might be like crack, but
    I'm smart enough to acknowledge the medicore content.
    Lots of fluff with a little meat though the 3rd book is definetly
    the best...not sure if that is saying much. -shrugs-

    It's like some of movies I adore aren't actually good films,
    but I had enough enjoyment watching them not to feel like
    I was cheated.

    But you know...when the sun does shine in Forks, WA the vamps have to hide because sparkling in front of the humans would be bad. ;)
  • Floppy
    I know, most of the fiery twilighters have sadly vanished. There are a few that pop up on the thread for the teaser trailer though and I go and test them a little.
  • duca
    @Meli

    Yeah, I know lol I live on a island in Northern BC so when I was looking at them it actually looked EXACTLY LIKE THAT outside. Damn vampires should have moved up here, there's a lot more deer hehe.

    Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle shine. SPARKLE MOTION *jazz hands*
  • Meli
    -Floppy, LoL, you're awful! ;)

    I think you and big daddy chased most of the truly
    devoted away.

    Of course, December is a long ways away so they might come back from time to time...especially if we actually get a good trailer!
  • Meli
    @ duca -
    Ahahahahaha! Well, how do you KNOW you don't
    have any vampires living among you?? If they're anything
    like the Cullens they could be that extremely pale, but ungodly
    beautiful person you pass in the street.
  • duca
    @Meli

    Umm... you've obviously never seen the men up here XD lol Everybody's pale, but nobody is ungodly beautiful... *sighs*
  • Meli
    @duca,
    LoL, nope never been up to BC. I live in sunny So Cal, so
    while we have beautiful people they are usually too tan
    to be vamps. ...unless they are using that spray on tan...
    I wonder if that would work and if it would hide the sparkle. hehe
  • Floppy
    @ Meli

    Well chimaera, duca & I offered to have a bonfire with s'mores, guitars, juice boxes, and the like with them but they never came so I just ended up with a stomach ache and smelling like smoke. They're just too uptight. Instead of joking back they spout off verbal diarrhea like "your just mad that Edward gets more play than you" and its just sad because they're using fictional characters as ammunition. I just eat it up though when they start self destructing and fighting amongst themselves. Haha.
  • big daddy
    well, i just had to make an appearance.. thanks DREW for the obligatory "stop posting twilight stuff" comment, we couldnt have proceeded without it.

    im sure these images are like heroin to the twilighters, but they are just pictures of kids to me. i dont see any magic or wizards or dragons anywhere (
  • DREW
    You are SO welcome.
  • big daddy
    for some reason 75 percent of my last comment was cut off.. o well, it was pretty funny i think
  • Floppy
    Don't feel alone. I had a comment in moderation for from 730 to 330 today for no reason. I was wondering why either you had a lone parenthesis or a frowny face with no eyes (and why you were making them ha).
  • big daddy
    im trying to remember what i said... basically the pics are boring. i want to see emma watson get it on with a vampire instead of kristen stewart. emma watson is too good for this movie.... and then i thanked peter for posting the article and letting my arrogance bring visitors to the site to debate with me and my colleagues, something along those lines. it was funnier when i said it the first time, o well
  • duca
    I just thought of something.... If he's been 17 for 'a while' and he's currently attending high school (because he meets her in Biology..?) then why the HELL didn't anyone notice that he'd been in Grade 11 for like, 20 years? Do they move every year or something?

    Plus, why would he go to school in the first place? If I was a 100 year old vampire I sure as hell wouldn't. Plus, staying out of school would draw less attention since people wouldn't be right up front observing how you don't age. I mean, it's pretty common for there to be a 17 year old drop out, right? *confused*
  • DREW
    duca, you are simply naming my aforementioned "bricks of lameness". Like I said this movie looks so stupid I think its only smart to try and put past us these loopholes and idiocies and try to ignore this movie like its a really really dumb bee.
  • big daddy
    duca, dont read into it too much, all of those things are so obvious that pointing them out is like making fun of a cripple. you have to give the twilighters a sporting chance to defend this thing
  • Yessy
    hmmm....you guys keep bashing the movie....why? I don't know and will never find out but I'm really excited to see that this movie. The Teaser is very good and makes you want to see more. Bashing the movie will only make Twi-Hards love this movie even more!


    Peace!
  • Meli
    LoL. Okay...since i read the books I'll go ahead and offer
    a bit of the reasons why.

    Yes, the Cullens do move around quite a bit. They will settle into
    an area for a while and live, but since they don't age and are living
    among society then will pack up and move to another area, which
    is prone to overcast weather. This isn't out right said, but it is
    insinuated.

    Since the 4 siblings all are of high school age they will attend school
    to look like a normal family, so the "kids" have gone and
    graduated from high school several times in their years AND have
    gone to college as well. They're a bunch of educated vamps to
    to go along with their sparkle. (sorry, couldn't resist.)

    I'm actually laughing to myself as I explain because it does seem
    rather silly, to be honest. You can also tell that Edward and the
    others are quite bored with school and don't take it very seriously.
    Really, why should they? It's all review. I think it might take more
    patience to go through the same classes than it would to resist
    the temptation of feeding on humans.
  • Yessy
    Yes I agree! I think I would go skipping like two times a week just to have fun and not review the same old stuff that I know. School can get boring after some years of repeating the SAME grade over and over.


    (12/12/08)
  • Brianna
    I also agree, but at least the cullens drink animals blood istead fo humans because if they drunk human blood Bella could be dead! no 1 would rele want atht 2 happen!
  • duca
    @Meli

    Okay, so you just pointed out the whole flaw in their "attending high school" logicness. If they can get away with being a college student, then they don't have to go to school. I mean, how many people don't go to college after high school? It's not like they'd have any trouble convincing someone they graduated and decided to stay in town working/chillaxn' before moving on. Oh wait! *slaps head* That would make it even MORE creepy that he's hitting on a 17 year old! I get it now.

    I'm not sure on the ages of the other family members but all I know is that people do age in high school. I look completely different in my Grade 8 photo to my Grade 12, and I think that could go for everyone here. The only way they could get away with it is if they moved every 2 years to a new school. It still doesn't make any sense to me... >_
  • duca
    ah my post got cut off... *pouts* And I went on this big rant about stupid people and books too. Oh well. ^_^
