Twilight?

Post by Rae »

I just read it. Please tell me I'm not the only one that disliked it.

I've seen some pretty scary people out there in the netiverse who go crazy when someone even mentions Twilight sucking!

I'm sorry if you like the book, don't hate me!

I LOVED the books but I'm so not a fan of Bella in any way, shape or form. She really gets on my nerves.

What specifically didn't you like about them?

I loved Twilight.
Bella is a bit of an irritating character though.
I hate the way she is constantly sacrificing herself.

Jacob is easily my favourite character.

Hi deadinHOLLYWOOD :wave

I have to totally agree with you. Bella can be a bit annoying, but a heroine who was more - buffyesque just wouldn't work, I think. But her poor me attitude does get on my nerves just a bit

That's true. I guess Stephanie just did what she had to do.
I wonder if she likes Bella as a character... Probably. I always love all my characters, even the annoying ones.
Have you seen the cast list for the movie?
I really don't like who they picked for Emmett, Jacob and Edward. Oh and Rosalie was wrong. The actress suits dark hair better than blonde, her hair just looks like a wig.

I'm not crazy about the casting either.
My friend has seen the commercial and says it looks terrible (the commercial, thus the movie also).
It will be so depressings seeing it if it is awful.
Let's think positively.

My friend decided she could have made a better trailer.
I haven't seen the trailer, I think I'm gonna hold out as long as possible.
But then again, I'm a curious being.

I liked the first book, but I wasn't able to make it through the second, it was just annoying me. 100 pages describing that absolutely NOTHING happenes was too much for me.
The movie trailer looks great though, so I hope the film will be better than the second book!

So you're not the only one ;)
