I was just wondering if anyone is into the book Twlight? I got into that book by accident and am glad that I found it. I am really excited about the film. Here in the US it starts on 21 Nov. I will see it eventually. Hope that you all pick up the series. You wont be disappointed.

I just came here to start a topic about 'Twilight' and shazaaam you created one! Thanks.
Actually, I thought this thread already existed.

Anyway...I started reading the first book on friday and finished it this afternoon. I'm still on that excitement mood, so...forgive me for any typing mistakes or hysterical messages.

I'll comment more later.

I've yet to read the books, but I'm planning on reading them soon.
A lot of my friends enjoyed them.
But I am seeing the movie this Friday when it comes out.
I'm buying the tickets and everything tomorrow! I'm soo excited!! tongue.gif
nni
Lucky guys! tongue.gif
The release date in Brazil is only on December 19. I'm biting my nails!

Anyway, I hope to read some comments of yours about the film!



If anyone's interested, this site is broadcasting the World premiere of 'Twilight' tonight.

Nice thread!!! I am a huge fan of this saga, actually i am almost at the end of my Breaking Dawn book. And about the movie i guess i will have to wait a lot cause the release here in Argentina is on January 1th 2009.

Can't wait!! wink.gif
nni
So, I want to know...has anyone here from US who already seen 'Twilight'?

Oh great!
Is it good as I'm thinking?! Hehe.
I hope you finish your reading soon.



Well, I read the first book only. I still have to buy 'New moon'...I read the first chapter that comes with 'Twilight' and oooh my, I'm so curious now!
CharLovesJamie
Definitely team Edward. happy.gif
He's so cute. wub.gif

Yes, I thought it was as good as it was going to be.
However, my friends who've already read the book said that they liked the book better then the movie because so much more happened in the book that didn't happen in the movie.
I dunno, but it was overall a very good movie.
nni
Well, that usually happens.
I think is something expected, to see much more stuff in the book. The main problem is when the film directors change the main idea of the story or crucial scenes...or even cut important parts.

I personally loved the film. I am going to see it again sometime this week. I personally like the way the film was shot. If any gets a chance to see it they should go. The characters in the movie were what I pictured then in the book. Now I can't wait for the other films to be made and be released.
CharLovesJamie
Edward was exactly what I pictured him to be. And they got most of the other characters spot on.
I did love the movie as well, but I'm just waiting for it to be out on DVD to see it again.

Oh hello everyone,
do not get me started on Twilight! Genious! Stephanie Meyer is a great writer and the film version is beautiful. I went in with little expectations and found the film a masterpiece on the eyes. Summit really did a wonderful job at emphasizing feelings through the characters eyes, it was actually very artistic. It is great to see another side to the book, a whole new and enriched version, that is witty and creative! I have yet to read the next book, I tend to get so into a book that I want to see the movie right away tongue.gif I have little patience, so i do it at a slower pace. I am a huge fan on Robert Pattinson's acting, I think he was great. Funny story... I read the first book a long while ago and I told my sister that if they made a movie version, Cedric Diggory would make the perfect Edward, however, at that time I did not know much of Robert Pattinson, and low and behold, Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter became Edward! Oh the joys of chracterization! I am not as crazy for Bella's acting, but she did what she could with the character... eyes eyes eyes!!!
nni
Well, for what I've seen so far, through photos, trailers and some videos, most of the actors were characterized just the way I pictured too. Specially the vampires.

I still have to wait 23 days to see 'twilight'! I think they should have made a simultaneous worldwide release.

Wow, that's funny indeed! You hit right on the spot! smile.gif

I didn't know much about Robert as well. My sister loooves him because of Harry Potter - she's one of those huge addicted fans - but as I've never seen/read HP, I didn't notice him. She got insane when she knew he was going to play Edward. Now I'm realising that he's a good actor! Made some independent films, which seem to be quite interesting [I'm looking for them but it's not easy] and he sings! I've heard some of his songs...they're good! Also, he's handsome...yeah I had to say this.

I completely agree, Pattinson is great! His voice hit home for me... he kind of has a jazzy, Jack Johnson tone, love it! I have to admit I really like Harry Potter and I am super excited about the Half Blood Prince film. I am not a fan of Rowling's writing style though, I give her props for her creativity, but she is not my favourite writer by any means although I have read all of the Potter series. Stephanie Meyer is by far a better writer although her story has been done before (Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Interview with a Vampire, Blade etc. ) all of which I am fans of! I am a huge reader, english major, I tend to read a lot! I heard about Twilight from my 27 year old sister tongue.gif So its definitely not all teenagers who read it, I am 21, so yeah haha. If you haven't seen Twilight, go! It is great, and go see the New HP in July 09, I bet it will be the best one! tongue.gif

I am torn between Edward and Jacob. I love both of them and see were each of them is coming from. I guess right now I am team in the middle.
pisces
TEAM JACOB!

Hehe! I love Twilight!!! EEEE!!! Only 2 weeks til the release in SA! Can't wait!
imsmanu81
I must admit something to everyone. I went to see Twilight again today and that would be my second time. Though I seem normal compared to a friend of mine who has seen it five times now. For all of those who have not seen it you are all for a treat. Oh and pre- production for New Moon is under way.
maria77
Yeaaah Go Pisces, here we have another Team Jacob lover!!! We are girls with a werewolf obssesive disorder!! tongue.gif tongue.gif
CharLovesJamie
Just thought I'd put it out there that I've currently made it through the first book and the second book and have just started the third book.
Aaaand I'm possible seeing the movie again tonight. tongue.gif

Yep! I think Jacob needs some love too! wink.gif Everyone is so love with Edward, why not give Jake a bit of credit?

I finished reading Breaking Dawn the other night and I say now what???? Edward and Jacob are all right in my book but I would rather have Jasper.

What do you mean "Now what"??? I'm not sure how people feel about spoilers here so I'll just keep my mouth shut instead of getting shot down! laugh.gif
imsmanu81
I just meant that I would like to have a nother book in the series to read all ready. I know that Stephine Meyers is all ready toying with another book for the series.
pisces_23
Right! Yes I felt the same way when I finished too. But not as depressed as I was when I finished HP 7. I'm looking forward to th emovie (released next week here!) so something to look forward to. tongue.gif
imsmanu81
I guess I can always go and watch the movie again.
nni
Finally! I'm gonna see 'twilight' tomorrow!
I can't wait for this pre-release anymore.
imsmanu81
I am so glad that you are going to go see Twilight. Hope that you enjoy it.
nni
Haaa, I finally saw it!
I enjoyed the film, altough I think they changed some unnecessary parts and details.
But they were loyal to the story, so as a whole it's really good.

Glad that you got to see the film. I loved it so much and can't wait until New Moon comes out.
nni
Me neither!
And I can't wait to see 'twilight' again! This time without screaming girls at the cinema.

New Moon update Dakota Fanning to play Jane in New Moon. To me that is fine. I think that she will be fine for the part. I really am looking forwad to see New Moon due to the while werewolf thing. Oh and just wanting everyone to know that Twilight comes out in the USA on 21 st of March.
imsmanu81
I must say that I am truly excited about new Moon coming out. Here in the US it comes out on 20 Nov. Though the film that I am truly waiting for them to make is Eclipse. Well, hope that I am not the only one that is excited about this saga.

I'm pretty excited for 'New Moon' as well. But I don't think it's going to be anywhere near as good as 'Twilight'. 'New Moon' was my least favorite book but the trailers look pretty good. I'm thinking maybe I'll like the movie better than the book.
imsmanu81
I guess when it comes to it...... I am Team Jacob!!!! Though my heart will always be with Jasper.

I might not be team Jacob, but I do have to agree with the Jasper bit. He is so cute. tongue.gif

I just found out that the release date for Eclipse in the USA is June 30 2010. I also have found so merchandise Twilight related.

If you don't already have a go-to site, my fave is Twilight Source and their podcast Imprint. From the staff of Mugglenet and Mugglecast. biggrin.gif

I am going to see New Moon on the 19th. The great thing about it is that all the money for the showing is going to charity.
