Where's the 3rd?

Id still like to know, if you're a vampire, and you lived for more then a 100 years, why are you still going to highschool? Actually if youre a vampire that doesnt need blood, that doesnt really have to worry too much about daylight then why call yourself a vampire?

REDante,

How bout you read the book before you criticize and ask silly questions.

The other images are at the EW link.

@DREUGAN You can keep your "sparkling vampires"
You send me the book, and I'll take a look at it otherwise there not so much silly questions but more like jokes that me and others like to say about these "sparkling vampires". Yea thats another thing why do they sparkle in the movie? We'll just stick to vampire movies like From Dusk Till Dawn, 30 Days of Night, Blade or the soon new vampire movie Blood: the Last Vampire.
So if you dont like the questions/commentaries/jokes whatever well.....Im over it you should be too.

I love the images thank you for posting them!! =]

I LOVE THESE IMAGES AND I LOVE NEW MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!

Authors like to put their own spin on things. I have no problem that the vampires sparkle (they still have to avoid sunlight because of it), or any of the other changes that the author took liberties with.

Personally I think From Dusk Till Dawn was crap, but I loved 30 Days of Night. It's all give and take, different perspectives. Twilight and those movies really don't belong in the same discussion, they're two different monsters (pun intended).

But seriously dude, if you're going to ask silly questions that are easily explained by actually WATCHING the movie or reading the book...

Again throw me the book, or send me the dvd. Eitherway the jokes and laughs are so much more fun, especially since the lead has a huge odor problem, I guess he really does smell like the dead. In the end I prefer Lost Boys, or even Interview with a vampire, and I wasnt even a big fan of ann rices novels but I rpefer them. But I wont diagree different strokes for different folks, but you cant stop the jokes.

I haven't seen the movie but i've been to Forks. Did it say in the book which trailer park all these characters were living in.

How can you say you prefer Lost Boys or Interview with a Vampire if you've never read the Twilight books or seen the movie? Don't knock it till you try it....

I've read it... or tried to.. I got to vampire baseball and threw the book across the room.
It is perhaps, next to Jackie Collins the worst written crap that's become popular. The actor who plays Edward got it right in that interview when he said he felt guilty reading it because its like reading someone's wish fulfillment fantasy.
Not only is it badly written... its designed to snag in women with all the worst cliches in literature.
Where true romance in the world is disdained, this drivel gets held up as an opus.
Once again, we have a main character who feels she's ugly but is in reality drop dead gorgeous and everyone loves. She hates her Daddy but the guy gives her everything including a truck to drive... She spends hundreds of pages wracked between should we/shouldn't we so much, that you ache for the age of Austin, because at least when Jane wrote it, it was well constructed.
Don't even get me started on the third book... Better yet.. Let me introduce you to Cleolinda who has it down pat the tripe that this series is.

To answer your question why i prefer Lost Boys over Interview with a vampire, im just not a big fan to the homoerotic implied there, I love how they kill people, but I just dont care for the whole brad pitt having the sexual tension between tom cruise or Antonio Banderas or even the little Kirsten Dunst. However as far as its story telling... its far more superior then Twilight.
Oh and if youve sen John Carpenter's Vampires, the movie couldve been soo much better but I love how James Woods describes a vampire:
"Have you ever seen a vampire? Well first of all, they're not romantic. All right? It's not like they're a bunch of F@&$ hopping around in rented formal wear seducing everybody in sight with cheesy Euro-trash accents. All right? Forget whatever you seen in the movies. They don't turn into bats. Crosses don't work. Garlic? You want to try garlic? You stand with garlic around your neck, one of these buggers will bend you F@$%!& over and take a walk up your strada chocolatta while he's sucking the blood out of your neck. All right? And they don't sleep in coffins lined in taffeta. You want to kill one, you drive a wooden stake right through it's F@#$%& heart. Sunlight turns them into crispy critters."

wow i think you all need to ease up, so some people like twilight and some dont it just difference of opinion. but what i dont understand is why someone who doesnt like twilight or thinks it corny or stupid whatever, why the crap are you on a twilight website?? why would you even waste your time, anyway like i said it all DIFFERNCE OF OPINION. get over it and move on

well,,,, d pics r gud!!! but then is the movie gonna release in india?????? n u both dnt luk gud togethere in realy life!! so stay away from each other!! n how could u kiss jacob in the the 3rd buk??!!!???!?!?!??!?!??!

"why the crap are you on a twilight website?? why would you even waste your time, anyway like i said it all DIFFERNCE OF OPINION. get over it and move on"

1. I give things a chance. I try them out. I did that for "Gossip Girl", I do it for Twilight."
2. This is a Sci Fi site. Not a Twilight Site
3. It offends me that the book industry produces badly written books for people to read. Having it popular means that more crappy books will be written, rather than books with good plots.
4. Twilight hurts girl's perceptions of themselves. I teach in a high school. And I see that girls who read twilight feel not fulfilled when everyone isn't looking at them. When they aren't as "beautiful" as Belle, and don't have as "mysterious" a relationship as Edward and hers.
It doesn't approach any kind of relationship healthily. Hell, in the third book, Jacob can't have Belle so he settles for her newly born baby to "protect" until she's old enough to have sex with.
Tell me, that's "romantic" and not creepy as hell?

These comment boards are exactly for the reason you stated, people love to argue. Sometimes it gets nasty sometimes it gets personal, but hey this is all publicity and a shout out to people who havent seen it yet, the more they read these comments then maybe theyll be more curious to see the movie for themselves and decid how they feel.
So Mrs Amstene, will this make you feel better....I dont like it period, book, movie, because the vampires suck. Well they dont suck enough blood, they suck in a whoel other way....Others say the movie and book is really not a good influence to girls and relationships and looks, but no me personally they bite, again they dont bite enough in the movie...well...not in the whole I want to eat you sense.
So I say READ the book, WATCH the movie and form your own opinion, come up with your own jokes, and laugh it all out.

The problem is, you can't form a valid opinion if you haven' t read the book. So your not taken seriously and your argument holds no weight.

To REDante....

You keep telling people to throw you the book or the DVD, um..... last I looked they were both at my local library. You do have a library near you right???

As for your personal choices. I totally agree with you about sticking with From Dusk to Dawn, 30 days of Night, and my personal favorite which I am going to throw in for kicks and giggles and see if anyone remembers it.

FRIGHT NIGHT!!!!

As for the series, I read the first book and thought it was absolute crap. Stephanie Meyer, while I respect and agree to some degree with her religious views(she's a Mormon, I'm a Christian, subtle differences), has painted this picture of what she thinks a perfect relationship is like and now every female in the good ol U.S. of A has this same sick vision in their head.

To those females I say wake up and stop living in the pipe dream. No man on this earth is ever, ever going to be as good a man as Edward Cullen.

And now I leave on this note of a review by Kevin Carr when he reviewed Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.

"For all you guys who were dragged kicking and screaming to Twilight last year, here's your chance to show your woman what a real vampire movie is all about."

Nuff Said!

Lotta arguing without having read the book. I agree with Gsizz about each author adding their own spin on vamps. Twilight is a different take on the age old vampire tales. It is popular with many and not so much with others. The cable series Tru blood has a more adult audience in mind and Blade (Movies and TV series) work with the super hero fans. You don't have to like the many different vampires or their interpretations to like the movies.

Just watch and enjoy, or if it's not for you, just move along to the next version.

Love it! Love the photos! can't wait for the movies - all of the rest of them anyway! Love the books - I will read them over and over! well written! Love Life! If you are unhappy, you are unhappy and there is nothing anyone can say on a website to make you happy! Happiness is a choice!

To Dreugan
In the end I just went to wikipedia the internet cliff notes of the world. Call that cheating but I do know the story and the differences between the story and the movie and have to say once again different strokes for different folks, but that doesnt mean you can stops the jokes.
So valid opinions, taking it seriously, the people who write the articles on this website get paid for that, these comment boards are just about opinons (serious or not) for fun and arguments. Besides it would be kind of boring if everyone agreed then we have no reason to post a comment.

to BlackOpal
Libraries in China arent the same, the dvd here isnt popular, but like I said I got the computer, or wikipedia, which I used. And im total agreement about FRIGHT NIGHT, however they are planning a remake so I got mixed feelings about that. But yea FRIGHT NIGHT part 1 and 2. The Underworld movies, youre right nuff said. Now this Rob Patterson guy or whatever, everyone says hes hot stuff and like whatever but seeing his photos he must be aging pretty fast cause he doesnt look like he'll blend in as some high school teen.

love the book movie coulda been better! I love getting lost in stories if i wanted reality i would just go outside and see all the crap there is. thats why its called fiction. ofcourse us girls know theres no real edward out there but we dont want to read bout guys cheating or beating there girlfriend or ignoring them we see enough of that already every day. im sure you guys like seeing girls who are open and adventures and not soo controlling. thats what its all about the dream we all have of life. but we are smart enough to know the differance!

My overall opinion of the Twilight movie can be summed up in a T-shirt I bought.

...And then Buffy staked Edward
The End

Hey Heather, I have seen that shirt and have wanted to buy it as well, but some coworkers pointed something interesting out. Buffy wouldn't stake Edward. She'd fall for his charms have sex with him, cuz she is a sucker for vamps. Ask Angel and Spike. lol

Hey REDante, I totally apologize, I didn't realize you were in China. My bad.

Please it you hate Twilight so much just shut up and stop bothering those who like it
Stop wasting your time with something you don't like
go wacth some TV or read Jane Austen
Just let people like whtever thry like in peace!

This movie and the books are "brain candy". Just like the scary vampire movies. They are meant for entertainment.

Not every movie or book needs to be deep or match a specific formula. Sometimes mindless fluff is exactly what some people want. I don't want to go to the theater to be preached to, or be shown something miserable or to learn something, every time I go. Or in the case of horror flicks, have the S#!% scared out of me. It's not my thing. But someone likes it, right?

I am going to get a lot of crap for this but I thought Kristin Whats-her-name was a terrible actress in this movie, and the special effects were over the top and lame (Like Underworld 2) But I understand the appeal. Starcrossed lovers in peril...gasp! This idea has been a huge seller of women's novels since the early 1800's, so of course it's going to sell. After reading these books, some of my well educated and "well-read" (i.e. Tolstoy, Austen, Dickens, Shakespeare, Tim Robbins, Isaac Asimov, Palahniuk, etc) friends now read the "erotic" (gross, you don't sleep with your food!) vampire novels, and they know they're tripe and crap, but they still enjoy them because it's escapist. By the way, I did read the Twilight series, and while I appreciate why they are popular, I never thought they were anything special because they are formulaic ideas in a different setting.

So, judge if you want, but remember, a lot of people think scary or gory or even some action flicks are ridiculous and a waste of time and cellulose. Especially the ones with the screaming naked women that get slashed up. Or the naked women that are "token hotties". Or the ones with senseless violence offset with pithy humor.
It's all junk food for the brain. Just in different flavors.

To the ones who hate Twilight... no one is forcing you to like it or watch it... but please show some respect to those of us who do. There's so little of it left out there. As for the way Meyers writes, if all authors wrote the same stuff and never bent or broke the "rules" books on the subject it would be pretty boring and predictable. As a published author of vampire fiction, I, too, break the rules. It's called... creativity. Stop trying to make the rest of us fit into your world. We happen to like who and where we are at the moment.

I would like to comment on REDante nocturnal vampires. First off, vampires were not meant to be nocturnal. Bram Stoker's Dracula(the BOOK) has him up and around during the day,but not at full strength. The whole "sleep during day,burn in sunlight" stuff came back in the early 1900's when someone made a famous PLAY about the book,taking many liberties with it. Hollywood then later filmed the famous Bela Lugosi movie based on the PLAY rather than the book and because a world wide classic,and all future "vampire" literature and movies adopted these changes.

As for the sparkling vampires,i actually am intrigued by the notion. I would assume by the comments of "cold ones",and Bella's comments how cold they are to human touch, that somehow when they become vampires, they in fact become frozen,locked into one form for eternity. The sparkles are actually the ice crystals inhabiting where blood and other fluids used to occupy the viens,and show in the sun same way ice sparkles in direct sunlight. Also, ice vampiric/monster myths occupy a lot of Russian,European,and Native American folklore.

Hope this was enlightening.

To shadojakk
I kind of skimmed to skipped your comment. Simply put your missing the whole point. Im going to joke about it, and you cant stop it. Lets see oh heres somethings Ive noticed about Bella:
She can’t do anything without Edward. And when he leaves she attempts to commit suicide. hmmmm well I cant blame the author, theres plenty of girls who do that, And whats up with all these guys falling for a plain girl in the novel but the "sexy not hot girl" in the movie. If you ever saw the movie 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, the late great Heath Ledger said in the movie "what's up with this girl, does she beer flavored
n!pp!e$"
Then theres Edward: The guy who plays him, if girls think hes hot then whatever but the guy doesnt look like a teen, that and its kind of creepy being hundreds of years old and you go to a highschool to pick up 14-16 year old girls I mean I guess if you can get way with it.... Also Edward is extremely possessive, border-line abusive ok ok plenty of girls are attracted to that I mean thats why women shelters are around. Oh yea what teenager doesnt love being stared out while theyre sleeping. But Edward has to feel good I mean Bella has no goals and no future without her beloved....

Im actually looking forward to the new movies im in full support I cant wait for the new jokes, and somebody was right to use the Chuck Norris jokes and just cullen them it fits perfectly.

I like good supernatural mythologies and was loath to touch Twilight even after sitting through the movie because as a grown man with a daughter that age I don't look for my jollies in teenage fantasies. But my wife read the novels and I had her outline the story for me. SPOILER! Bella's book 4 conversion finally tweaked my interest and now I have read the books just to get to book4. Whether you like the sentimental pulp or not, Stephanie Meyer does eventually build an interesting alternative mythology for vampires and other supernatural creatures and finally begins to expose the readers to that larger world. Jim Butcher found a way to include 3 breeds of vampires in the Dresden files. Meyer introduces two (or three if you prefer to differ golden eyed from red eyed vampires) and allows for more. I know Meyer is understandably bent out of shape over one of her publisher's employees unethically posting an unfinished draft of book 5 to the web, but I am hoping she decides to explore this supernatural world she's built through Bella's new born eyes, particularly a more satisfying showdown with the Volturi.

HELLO!!?? who should throw the book across the room!? even though edward left for a while in new moon, jacob made the book funny too without edward!! so you fugly bi-otches who think new moon and the rest of the books are horrible, ya'll are crazy!!!

I love Twilight it's so kool
