Am I the only one who doesn't get Twilight?

TeamEdward: Great picture

I quite liked Breaking Dawn too. There are bits in it when you feel like you are mainlining saccharine, but the end (don't worry - no spoilers) is quite exciting.

New Moon was the worst for me, although I was still quite poorly and I will never forget reading it in a giant hell hole of a soft play nightmare during half term and wishing like mad that Bella would just make a good job of her adrenaline junkie ways and put us all out of our misery.

Just want to add I'm half-way though Breaking Dawn and so far it's my favourite. Bella finally grows some balls.

Presumably hard, COLD ones.

Oh, I'm in the Pacific Time Zone (Vancouver, Canada) so 4 am for you is 8 pm the previous day for me.

Phew, thought I'd killed the thread for a bit! Btw Jacksmama how early were you up?

OMG!!!!

Go Buffy GO!!!

I'm on Team Buffy.

Has anyone posted a link to/seen this?

Buffy vs Edward

Done and sent heifer - enjoy! It's in PDF format.

Jacksmama,yes please! I have sent you a CAT with my email address.Many thanks

rofl @ MrsChemist and the mini physics lesson.

I was wrong. It's a dildo
I assume copyright means it has to be called The Vamp.

JM, I have to say that I have no clue about these books/films etc. but having enjoyed this thread enormously I have this to say:

Terrible (muriel) is from Muriel's Wedding, a black humour film where Muriel's sister is always saying "you're terrible, Muriel".

If, as Cicatrice says, Bella is like Fanny Price without the humour and dynamism then she MUST be bloody dreadful (Fanny Price being pretty wet herself, Mansfield Park "heroine")

And finally, if you still have to see this film then can I suggest you go in with a view to silently taking the piss out of it all the way? I have found this works pretty well - I so didn't "get" the first Austin Powers film the first time I saw it - when I watched the second one I realised that the humour was in the piss-taking (slow, me? Never ) and then re-watched the first one and "got" it. Look for the crap bits, enjoy their crapness, laugh to yourself at the pseudo-seriousness of it and you'll be okay, I'm sure.

WTF - Edwwwward vibrators??? She was taking the piss, surely.

heifer, I have the 4th book downloaded as an e-book. Could email it to you if you like, to read on your computer at work .

In fact, he would be warmer than room temperature, because he moves so fast the kinetic energy released would warm him a few degrees.
So instead of Bella says "your hands are ice cold" or some other inane shite, she should say "your hands are quite chilly, but as you have been running, your joints are quite warm, especially your knees. That must be the heat created by the kinetic energy of you running so fast. Isn't basic physics fun!"

My friend says you can buy Edward Cullen vibrators that you put in the fridge, so they are cold.
I am too embarrassed to actually google "Edward Cullen Vibrator" to check whether she is talking bollocks or not.

It was the first time I have seen it, so well chuffed I was

I tried (and failed) to record episode 3 on saturday.

Well gutted I was.

I noticed when I read it through before clicking! and did have a chuckle to myself as I watched Star Wars yesterday

Heifer you went all yoda at the end there

Well. I actually enjoyed reading them. Held off for ages as it didn't appeal. Got given the 1st book, read and enjoyed. Went out and bought 2 and 3 (2 for 1) and again read straight after the other and enjoyed.

And debating whether to spend the money on a hardback (goes against the grain when I know it will be in paperback eventually). I know I shouldn't pay for hb but I don't think I can actually wait.

Sad I may be, intellectual I never claimed to be, enjoying reading them I am.

lol. Indeed, doesn't sound menacing at all. Marble is kind of cold all the time though, as is granite, corian is not though [knows her worktops].

I wonder why that is?

Oh and how do you know I sleep in a king size bed
[paranoid]

Can you imagine the entire cast of Twilight/ New Moon spread over your kind-size bed??? I wonder if one side would be colder than the other...

Now who was it, a few posts ago, who was wondering why Edwwwward isn't room-temperature?
I was pondering that in my (lovely hot) shower. And I think it's because, when Jacob first tells Bella the vampire legends, "The Lukewarm Ones" doesn't sound nearly as impressive.

Oh yes there will absolutely be takers here on mn.

Sorry about the muriel thing. Cannot say the word terrible (muriel) without adding muriel to the end of it. It's a rl and on line tic. Unless something IS really terrible (muriel) then I can hold myself back.

The possibilty of being forced to wear a twilight t-shirt is not quite terrible (muriel) enough to hold back the muriel.

iyswim.

I'd give up up and lie that you have read them. You know what happens in the end. LOLOL that you won't understand the movie if you haven't read the book, yes because they are so full of complex plot twists and shedloads of subcharacters that are not defined by their temperature.

I was thrilled to find today in my Emprire magazine that you can get a Hot, Cold & Clumsy New Moon duvet cover. Sadly it is only for a single bed

(muriel)???

Why is she making me read all the books? Because she is a mean evil cow who obviously cares nothing about my sanity !!!

No, it's because I told her I was seriously unimpressed by the first one. She said, "read the second, it gets better, you have to anyway or the movie won't make sense ". Then when I dissed the second book, she said, "oh, don't be like that, they're ok, you have to read the entire series to fully appreciate them". And since then she has been bugging me (in a funny way, though) about how far I've gotten. I am speedreading through them just to get it over with so I can tell her I failed to be impressed by the entire series.

I have a sneaky feeling she will be showing up with a T-shirt for me.

If I offer it for free here on MN do you all think there will be any takers?
