Twilight - just back from advance screening.
 

Boring, but hundreds of thousands of teenage girls will find it finger-lickin' good.

75 minutes of exposition, telling us what we already know. Then, out of nowhere, it remembers that movies usually require some sort of conflict, so it introduces one. That lasts for about 20 minutes. A 10-minute epilogue closes the film.

HAHA...bummer, I was kind of looking forward to it.

Is this the film that Kirk Cameron made?

Okay, are there any fangs in it or do they just do the eye thing? I hate it when they never show any fangs, so stupid!

fangs
 

And, to delve in further on the vampire fang subject, fangs are supposed to be the canines, not the incisors or bicuspids or any weird combinations of teeth. Okay, I'm done jacking this thread. :p

The movie is fang-less.

I'm sorry, but that is a let down (for me). I have to see the movie though before I say I dislike it.

Im excited to see it, i just ended the first book yesterday. Did u read any of the books? How close to the book is the movie?

I did read half of the first book. The movie follows it pretty faithfully.

I just don't understand why the vampires go to high school. They live in a beautiful house that is buried in the woods far away from anyone else. They stick to themselves. They could just say that they're home-schooled if ever seen. Direct sunlight doesn't kill them, but it reveals their true appearance. The town is shrouded by clouds, but the vampires don't go to school if it's sunny, but what if the clouds cleared mid-day? By going to school they risk more exposure than by sticking to their home tucked away in the forest.

Adults in the audience laughed openly during the film's silliest moments - and there were many. The white pancake make-up on the vampires was ridiculous.

The best vampire movie of the year is Let the Right One In. Actually, it's just one of the best movies of the year.

An U.S. remake is already underway.

I will see Twilight because I thought the director, Catherine Hardwicke, made an extraordinarily sensitive work with Lords of Dogtown -- so I'm hopeful she'll be able to bring that insight into youth culture into the vampire genre (but her first film, Thirteen, and her Virgin Mary film were kinda stinkers).

That said: I don't like vampires. That sorta thing is not cool to me.

As far as vampire movies go, I would say the best I know are Vampyr and Nosferatu (for the classics) and in the modern era, two visionary works: Ganja & Hess and Near Dark -- rent them immediatey!!! I also happen to find Vampire In Brooklyn to be very interesting and entertaining.

Leftover the release party, I have 200 of these rubber Twilight bracelets and about 100+ small-size movie posters. I don't know why Summit never sent any full-size posters.

That is like the book. Nothing really happens other than Bella going to school every day and seeing Edward and the two of them staring at each other. Finally in the last 100-150 pages of the book there is some sort of plot and excitement and then it ends. I'm not interested in seeing the movie after reading the book.

All I have to say is...Anyone see the new "South Park" episode last night? Definitely related to the whole 'vampire' schtick.

South Park, as usual, was genius.

I love that the Goth kids burned down Hot Topic hoping it would make the Vamp kids go away.

Of course, all of the out-of-control autograph sessions for Twilight were sponsored by Hot Topic. I love how South Park is able to react immediately to current events.
