Ok, so I'm the last person in the world to see the fiolm (last night) and I haven't read the books, but I enjoyed the (ludicrous) film. What does everyone hate so much? And why is it sexist?

And she gets to be with rpats in 'real life' too

You believe that? Funny how they are only ever seen together when a new book/film is coming ... oh & at award ceremonies!

Yes when it is a baby, the baby does grow pretty fast though and its supposed to be really intelligent but it will still emotionally be a child.

Meyer is Bella, Edward is her creepy fantasy. Everyone is a Mary-sue or Gary-Stu unless they are the bad guys and then they're one dimensional.

Although I've read all the books and seen the films and kind of enjoyed them at the time, standing back I can see that they are just dire - I tried rereading Twilight recently and could not get over how BORING it is, huge chunks of Bella passively listening to Edward monolguing (sp?) about himself. I hate the fact that Stephanie Meyer has thrown ALL the vampire myths out of the window. And I can't bear all the Mormon, True-Loves-Waits shit. (Stephanie Meyer is a Mormon.)

Now, if you want to read / watch some good stuff about vampires, Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse books / True Blood are MILES better: more fun, sexier, better written. Eric Northman, now HE'S a proper vampire.

You need to watch these fiolms with a teenage boy in the room.

Edward: "I like watching you sleep."

Teenage boy: "Run away! Run away now! He's telling you he is a weirdo freak. Tell your dad, he's a policeman. God, she's so stupid."

This thread is making me want to read the books. Will have to buy them and hide the somewhere. Can't have people seeing them on the bookshelf, what would they think?

TroublesomeEx · 21/02/2012 11:58

nowitty maybe, but I feel it may be an example of the 'whole being greater than the sum of its parts' in his case!

Hullygully · 21/02/2012 11:58

I don't know where they are tho, might have to go on the hunt.

From urban dictonary
Full name: Renesmee Carlie Cullen

A half-vampire spawned by the famous dynsfunctional teenager lovers, human Bella and vampire Edward Cullen in the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, of the Twilight Saga written by Stephenie Meyers. With bubbly brown eyes and a need to suck your blood, who can resist this little leech? Not Jacob, who upon first site on this child, falls madly in love. Though rest assure, he's not a pedaphile. He's giving her a promise ring. In about seven years, Renesmee will already reach adulthood (eighteen years) due to her quick growth and maturity. She also possesses a gift much akin to telepathy, letting her mother and father communicate with her even when she cannot speak yet. It is assumed her future will arise to greatness, and also some mad lovin' with Jacob.

When giving labor, Bella was about to die. As a human still, she did not have enough strength to endure the little creature trying to squirm -cough, claw, cough- her way out. Edward, always the knight in shining (literally, he shines) armor, simply chewed his way through Bella's uterus, allowing both to live. Bella also was turned into a vampire as an effect of this, er, magnificent deed.

Later, Renesmee is thought to be a danger by the ruling vampiric family the Volturis. Bella plans to have Renesmee run away with Jacob, but thanks to Alice, Renesmee's rare predicament of being a half-mutt isn't so rare at all. Another halfing exists in good condition, proving that Renesmee will be okay. Cue happy ending.
Renesmee is also called Nessie, like the Loch Ness Monster, much to Bella's chagrin. And any other loyal fan's too.
