    I read all four Twilight books because a friends lent them to me, I wanted her to like me, and I had the spare time. I found them engrossing during the reading process, yet disappointing afterward because they lack substance.

    As for the film adaptations, I saw the first movie and thought it was hilarious. All the characters were acting so serious, but I thought it was pretty bad, so it was funny. I don't plan on seeing the rest of them, especially since if I were to feel like watching them all then I would have to see four more movies. That's too many, I can barely sit through all the Back to the Future films, which I enjoyed.

    Also, the fight scenes were very anticlimactic in book 3 and 4. In Eclipse we don't even see the fight scene, because Bella's hiding the whole time. In Breaking Dawn, the Volturri show up, but they don't really do anything. The films will either be equally anticlimactic, or they will not stay truthful to the books.

    There's ONE way Stephanie Meyer could make Breaking Dawn a great movie. Remember those two male vampires who were Romanian or something, who were joining the Cullens only out of spite for the Volturri? I think it would be GREAT if the subtext was that they were gay vampire lovers who tried to join the Volturri, but were rejected because they were gay. That would be AWESOME! They would HAVE to be shown embracing each other though, just so it's clear to the audience. :wink: It would be like pulling a Dumbledore!

    its sort of half and half with me I liked the books better in my opinon it seemd like in the books edward was a romantic goth vampire (like alex from vampire kisses) that fell in love with a beautiful,clusmy,shy,awkard girl and I liked it I remeber being so hyped when I found out that the books would be turned into movies that there would be a dreamy edward and a sweet bella and then the first movie made it all go to crap. I only go see the movies to see the crappy acting and make fun of kirstein stewart ruin bella I think it's really stupid that there going to make breaking dawn into two parts?

    oh my gosh it is not that serious I can see the fan girls now and that's horrible that stepheine meyer stole harry potter's idea talk about unorignal but hey I guess Breaking dawn might be good and I'm wrong but it would suck if they replaced Ashley with some other girl.they already did it with the girl that played as victoria in the first and secound one now she's replaced but they shouldn't replace her she's the only face I like looking at during the film and victorias too and her long beautiful red curls.

    I'd just like to point out the absurdity of this comparison. I'm sure there are just as many scenes of dialogue in Breaking Dawn, and just as many pieces of information that get passed between characters. If we're speaking broad synopses, then I don't think that first chapter even figures into it, apart from perhaps Snape being the one that tells Voldemort the departure time.

    That said, I do believe that Deathly Hallows has a much more complex storyline than Breaking Dawn and that breaking it into two movies with better do it justice. Not so with Breaking Dawn, which I think would work better as a short movie. A silent short movie. With puppets. Well, maybe just a blank screen. Yeah, that would improve the movie.

    Anyway, Harry Potter is not a piece of pop culture that's going to be forgotten about in a few years. Those movies with be famous for years to come. It's my prediction that in about 2-3 years after the final Twilight movie comes out, people will struggle to remember the plot, let alone whether they were on Team Edward or Team Jacob. And people who do remember will be relegated to the same social stature of Trekkie (before it became cool again to be a Trekkie when the latest movie came out).

    It's my opinion that we should just let the TwiHards have their little sparkly day in the sunlight because their day is nearly at an end; In fact it's positively twilight at the moment. Harry Potter, however, will be remembered as "that awesome tale from my childhood", the one that you pass down to your children, that you show the movies to, the one that will probably be remade by the BBC and probably be done better (let's be honest).

    Yeah, just saying.

    honestly, I think it would be easy to say that all five twilight books *including the novella meyer put out a week or so ago*, they, combined, lack even half the plotting that the
    seventh harry potter book had on its own.

    Porn pun aside, in the literary world, Stephenie meyer is what we call a 'fluffer'. Her books are padded out with fluff and purple prose to the point of inducing diabetes. It is one of the reasons one can easily express the fullness of what actually happens in a 700 page book of hers in a paragraph or two. Nothing is fully developed, and most of the text is over inflated fluff.

    where as with jk rowling, there is very little fluff. The story and characters are richly developed, and she doesnt have to pad anything out. The closest she came was the camping scenes in deathly hallows, which annoy alot of readers because they take up a fourth of the book. In some ways, they annoy me to, but in other ways, drawing it out to a point creates a literary atmosphere that as a storyteller, I can understand and defend as being important.

    but she also makes up for it with the action packed nature of the book, and really, her books as a whole.

    Wands beat Sparkly chest any day of the year.

    "oh look, I sparkle in the sunlight like a 4 year old girls wet dream!!! la la la la la, I am going to rough sex you up, and chew a baby out of your belly you woman (I.E. a posession I own.)"

    *harry potter pauses, as if trying to figure out if he has smoked too much floo powder, but realizes he is perfectly congative.* "avada kedavara! ugh... hermione, sometimes it is permisable."

    *Hermione looks down at the dead sparkly pussyified vampire.* "you better cut up the body into tiny peices and burn them, just to be safe... DO IT FOR THE SANCITITY OF GIRLS EVERYWHERE!!!

    The above wasn't the only part of this thread that had me on the floor in stitches, but has to be the best! :roflmao:

    Seriously though, I'm just shocked that they're bashing out these retched books into films like there's no tomorrow, it's just utter rubbish; all over the top padding; no real deep plot or meaning; lack of continuity; not sticking to her own laws and mythology; even the actors have said they hate the books and you can just tell they don't want to be on set smothered in glitter XD

    Ah well, sooner these films are all shot, the sooner we can forget this literature poop, BRING ON THE FILMS! :lol:

    What's wrong with sparkly skin again?

    Everyone seems deadset on that one feature. Is it even a prominent or or important part of Twilight?

    Well it really has nothing to do with anything...it's a small part of the first movie but they mass produced it and comercialized it. so every hot-topic store you walk into has some kind of swagger with 'i like boys who sparkle' on it.

    how it is used in the books and films is just lame. It reads as nothing more than a 6 year old girls fantasy. Given that it was written by a woman with the maturity (this is not a exageration) of your averate six year old girl, it is a miracle that edward doesnt also crap rainbows, butterflies, sunshine, and unicorns.

    Apperently, their skins are made of diamond... and no, I am not making that up, it is what it says in the book.

    Getting fucked by a diamond penis sounds painful... Bella is such a S&M whoreslutskankbitchhoebag
