twilight series (3 Viewers)

[Faytle]

I'm absolutely obsessed. Seriously dying for the fourth book!

I wish they chose Gaspard Ulliel instead of Robert Pattinson (Cedric in HP) for the casting though. He's my definition of a perfect Edward .

Jacob annoys the heck out of me :/.

sorry to ask again (since no one has answered yet), but how many books are in the series???

Ahh, the Twilight series is amazing <3.
And to whoever said Gaspard Ulliel should be Edward...I couldn't agree more =].

 

[saltgunner]

no way, Robert Pattinson is THE perfect Edward.
He is sooooo SMEXY

 

[Sinitivity]

I reckon Gaspard Ulliel or Tom Sturridge would of made excellect Edwards. Robert Pattison is anything but facial perfect... that man looks awkward =\

I'm dying for Midnight sun - the first chapter was completely dumbfounding! I absolutely love reading from Edwards perspective. You truly do grasp what sort of effect he has on her.

CAN'T WAIT for Breaking Dawn! Thinking about it makes me all giddy.
BLOODSUCKER BELLA! I don't think she'll get turned until the end. Either that or they'll turn her at the start and they whole book will be extremely dark and morbid as bella fights temptation.

I seriously can't believe bella wanted to have secks with edward. Did she really want to be impaled on his rock hard pen0r!

Gaspard Ulliel is attached to other projects; plus, I think he's playing the angel in "The Vintner's Luck" (and I think his being an angel is far more appropriate than him being a vampire).


Overall I found the series very boring. I can see why some people would like it; I just don't like it myself. Bella just seems so helpless and dull. There are a few interesting ideas in there, but it feels like they're buried in a pile of insipid comments about how Edward is so fantastic and wonderful.

I also didn't like the Harry Potter series, but I really admired Rowling's ideas, and her world-creation abilities. Meyer's just doesn't have any of that originality (either that, or she smothers it under all the poorly written romance).


Just out of curiousity, what is it that people find interesting about Bella as a character?

I loved Twilight and New Moon.
Until I read Eclipse.

Reading Twilight again after reading Eclipse makes you realise Bella is awfully shallow. The romance between her and cullen wouldn't be so superficial if for one moment she could stop thinking about how good looking he is.

Nevertheless I'm still hopelessly infatuated with Jacob and Edward. The characters are so likable!

Has anyone seen the actress whose suppose to play Bella in the movie? I don't see her as a Bella.. she's too pretty? if you know what I mean? She looks like a Lauren or the other pretty girls from Forks.
I reckon Emily Browning would have been perfect for the role.

So if you haven't read this series you basically should... you might not like it and you might love it..personally myself and a whole group of my friends love it and truth be told probably talk about it alot too much.

But for the person who wanted to know what people see in Bella

well bella isn't an interesting character but girls want to be her... Edward and Jacob drooling over you as well as the average boys like Mike Newton.... What girl doesn't dream of that.

The book is great and as books go yes it has flaws but hey guys these are her first attempts at writing novels and she sells her ideas well.
If you guys thing Edward is too perfect wait for midnight sun he has problems too people!
but hey Jacob is good as well! he's no edward but he is so worthy of mention.

The cast they have so far for the movie is 2 actors and ones that aren't suited to the parts whatsoever Robert Pattinson is just blah.... maybe they should have choosen someone like jackson Rathbone... but thats personal taste everyone has their own Edward....

That's so true! That's why I'm a Jacob/Bella shipper.

Nothing. She's about 80% pathetic, 20% genuinely funny. For me Twilight is all about Edward.

I'm 5 chapters away to the end of Twilight, which I started last night and have NM and Eclipse waiting in the wings... and I'm hooked. and the fact that Robert Pattinson is playing him makes it all the more sweeter. Bella is still a blank face. Camilla Belle is probably the closest I can think of but she's not nearly as attractive I imagined Bella to be.

 

[makemearedcape]

Bella just seems so helpless and dull.

Helpless? How can she compete with a vampire with super-human powers? She's just a regular human. If by helpless, you mean her clumsiness, then I understand, but that's just her character trait. However, even if she wasn't written as clumsy, she's no Edward Cullen =].

And dull? In my opinion, Bella was written to stand out. She doesn't think the same as the rest of her peers, and that's partly what Edward is attracted too. She's an 'old soul'.

HEY HEY... City of Bones by Cassandra Clare its the 1st book in a series called The Mortal Instruments.. only bout 1/4 way through it but so far good... easy to get into but harder to continue.. just dont put in down - easy solution!! but otherwise LOVE IT!!

 

[-contakt-]

No, I haven't read it yet. Everyone I know, though, seems to love that book. I'm not really into stories that have vampires, werewolves and whatnot. But I might give this book a shot. :uhhuh:

Whoops, clicked on this thread thinking it was about that Russian dude's Watch series, considering it has some weird mechanic to do the Twilight. It also has vampires, but its more about politics and negotiated compromises between the 'Good' guys and Bad guys.
