You know RT is pretty hard up for stories when they are teasing a teaser.

Well. . . |Twilight with some people, particular women, holds a place in the hearts of some the same way THE DARK KNIGHT did with us men over a year ago. . .

Even though I did enjoy the first film, I thought that main vampire guy and his clan were all rather feminine wusses. If your standard vampire family is the Osbourns, they were portrayed like the Brady Bunch. Hopefully they make them cooler in this new one.

Dude it's Twilight. Other than the retarded 13 year olds on this website, who actually cares?

The thing is, teaser trailers are always gonna come out for anticipated movies. Its always been that way, and with Twilight, its no different.

Although I do find it a little strange how there's a 14 second trailer out now, AFTER the main trailer (1:48secs) has already been shown on the MTV awards, and is all over YouTube. But..I guess the TV campaign is only just starting.

On another note, I find it kinda funny how some guys assume that certain movies are specifically for one gender (The Dark Knight..?!) Seriously, SO many of us girls/women love that movie. Movies are for everyone to enjoy, there are no rules as to who can watch what. Stop acting so old-fashioned.

Anyway as I've said before on other Twilight related discussions, people of all ages love the Twilight Saga and the movie. I, myself, am almost 30 and I'm a fan of them. Just like so many others. If that makes us sad and pathetic to some of you, so be it. Do we care? Meh..we love what we love. Deal with it.

Twilight won 11 Teen awards and gave Britney Spears a lifetime achievment award.

Perfect example of why we don't let teens vote in elections.

The problem with these movies/books ius their not actual vampires as there way too emotional for a being that is truly dark in nature.
Tbh they really annoy me as they tarnish the classics such as Bram Stokers Dracula (Book, not the film)and movies such as Lost Boys and Vampires.

Also young people watching these films think vampires are emotional beings that wont drink human blood cos their really pussys at heart. Another vampire theme that Twilight has ruined. Their feckin evil incarnate not these Jonas brother lookalikes that go around poncing on about poetry and crying to each other (guessing this is in the movie somewhere).

Anyway if you want to read a truly scary novel read Dracula, not this crap.

Oh and Underworld is a joke too.

Adele D. on 08-11-2009 06:15 AM

Craig o. Your post reeks of sheer ignorance. Guessing the content of the movie/books just shows how irrelevant your words are.

Anyone who has ever read vampire stories, would know that there are no set rules as to what they do or cant do. True, the most common type we read about, are those which are dark and sinister. But does that always have to be the case? No, it really doesnt.

Also there is that side, in most vampire stories, where the vampires are described as beautiful and flawless in their looks, and have an air of romantic fantasy, to draw people in. (And if you didnt know, romanticism in some vampire-fantasy stories include a respect for poetry and classical music)

Anyway, I dont see how anyone can form a legit opinion on something without having looked into it properly. If you havent read the books or watched the movie, then dont expect to have your assumptions (not opinions) respected.

You guys just don't get Twilight and you are not supposed to. It is a tween movie, nothing more and nothing less. The vampires are not supposed to be scary, it is not a horror movie, it is a teen romance movie.

southfrisco on 08-11-2009 07:43 AM

A teaser would be to have Blade show up in a cameo, kicking some ***** Twilight vampire *** and Kate Beckinsale in a cameo, kicking some ***** werewolf *** leading up to the final battle...Blade vs. Kate. Viola, movie is no longer pussified.

Look, I am not one to randomly troll comments, but anyone who enjoys this series, or the books, has not read very much in the genre. Most real readers have read better vamp fic 10 years ago or further back. This series is garbage, and a slap in the face to the genre that has come a long way from its horror beginnings.

The Movie
As for the movie series, it's a flop. Honestly guys, there are better actors in a cheap Miramar film.

The Book Series
Please go out and read other series in the "same" genre and you'll be much more impressed.

Here are some starting suggestions
1. Anything Ann Rice
2. Anything Laurell K Hamilton
3. Anything Bram Stoker

Once you have read some of the author's I've suggested, you may contact me for additional suggestions or just find some of your own.

While this Twilight series, is alright as a book series, and the author has an alright sense of modern teenage life, it is far away from the other leaders in the genre. I would say somewhere in the bottom 20 percent.

My final thought is to go to a book store and read and keep on reading. More than likely you will find more intuitive and imaginative works in the discount bin...

Adele D. on 08-11-2009 09:00 AM

Xphile1000, to assume the movie is a flop is just plain stupid. The outstanding popularity alone completely voids THAT argument. Open your eyes a little, you may realise that eventually. Its the polar opposite of a flop.

Secondly, to assume that anyone who likes the Twilight Saga, hasnt read very much in the vampire genre, is a little naive. There IS a possibility (not that you took this into consideration), that the younger readers may have picked up on the Twilight series as a first interest in reading. But as there is a wide age-range fanbase, I seriously doubt older fans (like myself) havent read other vampire based novels. I have read Ann Rice, Bram Stoker and also Gabriele Caccini, Stephen King, Brian Lumley and Laurell Hamilton.

But..oh no.. does that mean I cant like Stephenie Meyer's books too?! No, and why? Because they're enjoyable to read. And like I've said before, its escapism. Just like all literature. Stop trying to be all high and mighty as if Twilight readers are beneath you. Its pathetic.

There is it, folks - 14 seconds in heaven for Team Jacob fans. (Article updated with video.) Thoughts?

Personally, it didn't quite do it for me. I'd only go get a ticket for Bandslam IF I A) hadn't already seen it, and once is enough, and B) thought we might get more in the longer trailer - Volturi, more Cullens, Victoria, even. But remember, Friday's trailer is still only a teaser trailer, and the first full-length actual trailer has yet to be released.

Adele D. on 08-11-2009 10:57 AM

Xphile1000, I'd thank you to not be so patronising. I'm 29 years old, and I do tend to read things before responding.

And I think you'll find that its the much younger fans who act like its the best thing ever. I'm a big fan of the series, but also love other vampire based books and movies.

I dont see how Twilight is an insult to the genre. Ok, its your opinion, but personally, I think it just adds to the eccentricity of the genre. Alot of vampire stories are indeed horror based, which is great. But Twilight offers something for all ages. And yes, it is mainly a younger fan base, but why is that such a bad thing? Its fantasy, its intriguing, its fun to read and watch. I dont see why anything like that is an insult to such a huge and widely explored genre.
