Twilight..wtf?

hahahahahahaha:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The books were 1,000,000 times better than the movie. While the basic story was captured in the movie, the acting, casting and direction sucked! As usual Hollywood ruined a perfectly good book :laugh:

:laugh: That's hilarious. Everyone has been telling me to read the books, but they just don't look like something I'd enjoy. I'm following your lead on this one & staying away. LOL

My daughters swear up and down that the books are way better...but I don't know...:laugh: my theory is, if the recommendations are coming from girls under 16 yrs of age, chances are i'm not going to like it. The whole vampire thing, just isn't my thing.

I agree! I couldn't get into the Harry Potter books or movies, either. *shrug* Maybe I'm missing something.

19 and I liked it. Really good escape books, but hard to put down. The movie wasn't that good, but if you don't like young adult fiction you probably won't like Twilight. If you do like YA fiction though, you'll most likely will. :laugh:

the twilight movie is almost as lame as the twilight book is AMAZING! It truly is too bad that hollywood attempted to capture the most wonderful novel I have ever read. Truly... READ THE BOOK! DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE

I thought the Alice in the movie was good. And Carslise too. But they didn't capture Edward, so the whole thing just fell apart. :brokenheart:

Didn't read Twilight but everyone I know says the books were amazing!
Everyone I know who read the books say the movie sucks!

I felt the same about Sephora movie yet the books were good

Harry, well, I love Harry Potter.

My all time favorite current series is, "The Golden Compass" by Phillip Pullman. I LOVED the books and I loved the movie!

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: But apparently the movie was hard to follow if you hadn't read the books. The Amber Spyglass when Pan is just sitting on the shore makes me cry every time!

I'm actually watching Twilight right now. I love the books and I'm sorry but I like the movie too.

I didn't think it was that bad and the kid they picked to play Jasper is perfect and so super cute!! Love him.

Alice is spot on but I hate the casting for Rosalie and Esme. Can't deal with Peter Facinelli cuz all I think of is him playing the duchebag in Can't Hardly Wait.

I have soooo much time on my hands lately, that I might just pick up one of the books you've suggested. Thanks, I watched Role models last night on the advice of my teenage boys this time, and it was freaking hilarious :laugh:

I heard that was really funny. I've been meaning to get that on my netflicks list!!

I dunno, I like a lot of young adult books. Some of them are really good. Edward is just an AMAZING character and the relationship he has with Bella has totally given me urealistic expectations of men now.

There are another BRILLIANT set of books by Diana Gabaldon. It's called The Outlander Series. They're adult fiction but another of my most favorite series. The first one is called Outlander. Another amazing guy in those stories that gives unrealistic expectations in men. :laugh:

Definitely a keeper! :bigsmile:

I'm ready to start reading twilight to Nick. See if he'll pick up the hints.......
