90210's value system is better than Twilight's.

I thought the movie was OK and it kept me interested for the entire 2 hours. I'm sure that's not cool, but whatever. My daughter, who has read all the books, didn't like it that much because it is the typical movie adaptation of a book that leaves out a bunch of what she thought is pretty important stuff. My other daughter, who hasn't read the book, thought it was the greatest movie ever.

But younger. I got dragged with my fiance to the movie...she did go see Iron Man and Dark Knight with me, so I owed her. Bout 350 13 yr old girls were in the theater.

I had no idea about this book until she started reading it. Apparently there is going to be more of them too.

The movie was boring to me, sorry for anyone who liked it. The plot was lame and completely predictable.

OH...yeah and they sparkle in the sun...that's right...sparkle.

The fight scene was cool, and when they were playing baseball and running from the other vampires was cool, I just had a hard time paying attention through the first 1 hr of it.

For those bothered by the supposed abstinence message, I think you're more bothered by the politics of that idea than any actual message in the movie. The fact that a movie doesn't have teenage sex in it isn't really the same as a promotion of abstinence.

Spoiler!

I'm glad I saw Twilight for one reason: It made the phrase jump the shark obsolete, to be potentially replaced with The vampires are playing baseball.

I was hoping to hear from Reaper or someone else concerned with the supposed "abstinence" message (or the Mormon influence) in this movie to explain to me how I'm wrong. Maybe they aren't reading the spoiler so it won't ruin the movie for them. :shrug:

Because Edward, the greatest/creepiest guy/vampire ever, wants to hold back until they get MARRIED~!! to have sex and then when they do get married and bang she gets impregnated with his half-human half-demon offspring the very first time because duh, that's what happens whenever you have sex.

And also he's 110 years old and still hanging out with high school kids on a daily basis what the **** is this shit.

I don't care whether the message is abstinence or that torrid sex is great. The books are ****ing reeruned.

LMAO

Word, but be warned that girls aged 12-16 are going to rain down on you like a batallion of harpies straight out of the hellfires.

He sparkles in the sun and glowers at me and stalks me! That's all you could ask for in a guy!

If the book were primarily aimed at boys, I could see it as an abstinence message, but it's core audience seems to be female. Personally, I think it's a dangerous message to tell young girls that the boy is going to watch out for their best interests when it comes to sex.

Bella is Meyers' Mary Sue, no more and no less. Edward is seen as the perfect guy, even though he's got so many warning signs he should glow in the dark instead of sparkle in the sun. Everything about the books is dangerous.

I know some chicks that are friends of mine in their mid 20's wanting to see this shit, im glad the gf doesn't give a shit
