Twilight 'Eclipse'

Hi all...

I like the Twilight concept of living forever and loving forever very deeply.

Based on the first two books and movies, I abhorred the Twilight series. Nothing but over the top nauseatingly sick romance that is unhealthy and ridiculous.

Twilight is nothing but Bella going "Oh my God. I love Edward"

New Moon is nothing but Bella going "Oh my God. I miss Edward"

I've warmed up to the series a bit since Eclipse. Because in Eclipse finally something is happening in the series. Then in the end there is a major vampire & werewolf vs vampire army battle. Bloody battles are always awesome.

The best book is Breaking Dawn which builds up to a vampire showdown that vampire stuff should be all about. Then I almost love the fact that in Breaking Dawn there is a gruesome, bloody, gut wrenching delivery of a monster child that would instantaneously be rated R in full graphic glory, making it the next best thing in gruesomeness since the Exorcist. I would be so miffed if they cut the delivery part out.

Anyway, a vampire is not dead. A vampire is 'undead'. Hence there is no question of necrophilia with vampires. If you meet a vampire, tap that for vampires are known to be good. A werewolf is not an animal, but a human to become an animal at will. Hence there is no question of bestiality with werewolves. If you meet a werewolf, tap that for werewolves are known to be good.

We had to presentations on any topic we want for one of my engineering courses...atleast 4 people had a presentation hating on Twilight
The plot and characters are terrible...diaglogs are corny

fortunatley, i haven't seen any movie, but i've still heard enoiugh to dislike it

For it's girlish backset(no offence to girls or tomboys aka RTH😆). Oh, great, Vampire falls in love with girl and vice versa, and she falls in love with another vampire or something, awesome, great, but para mi, it's just a slightly mature version of Beuty and the Beast, although I'd prefer watching the latter. This series was written with girls in the back of the author's mind, not much for guys. .

I don't think you realize how utterly stupid these novels are until you actually watch the movies. Meyers' horrible writing, with extremely irking characters, and a terrible, elongated plot fall slightly short of disaster.

I was reading that the next movie is very different from the novel Eclipse. I'm guessing they've realized they can't continue with that horrible plot and must bring in a little of their own to generate some response at the box office.

I was just about to tell Debayon that I hate girls because they fall for this stupid Twilight shizzle. Then I see you and then I realize otherwise. 😆

I liked the books and the first movie. I have yet to catch up with the second one so that I can enjoy the third one that will be out next month. And I dare RTH to hate me😛

I do not know why you are worried about offending. I myself do not get why girls like such drivel.

Anyway, if by beauty and the beast you mean Edward the beauty and Bella the beast then you are right. In fact this is beauty and the beast with a twist. There are two beauties, Jacob and Edward vying for one beast Bella. Bella is nothing but selfish, self centered, self absorbed, annoying, irritating, stubborn child. Her personality is nothing but beastly. Edward is an insecure self doubting beauty. His life would be much less miserable if he just slay the beast and move on with life. Jacob is a gem of a person with genuine compassion. Even his life would be much less miserable if just slay the beast and move on.

Twilight is a romance novel definitely geared towards girls, and boys will not find much in it. Actually the writing is so juvenile that I wonder how any mature reader enjoys it. That being said I have to admit that I thought once the love story becomes secondary the book gets better. Parts of the book are engaging and interesting. Eclipse movie will not be too bad and guy should not mind too much - there should be plenty of action sequences.
