FIRST LOOK

Heh. Man, it's like you were talking directly to me, Alex. I don't like this franchise. Not one bit. But-- to see how they film the book's "intense" sex scene will either be hilarious or pretty damn cool. Consider me intrigued.

I don't understand why Summit is insisting on turning Breaking Dawn into softcore porn for teenagers. I mean, seriously? It's either going to be sad (as in pathetic) or really terrible. Can you believe that I'm actually a twilight fan (of the books)?

Yawn, cringe, headdesk; these are my most common reactions when watching those movies. Yes, I seem to be a glutton for punishment. *sigh*

Why do you report on this franchise if you guys hate it so much, I understand professionalism but the reacting comments to every fucking story about it is always the same. Its obvious none of us here like these piles of trash so cant FS just forget about em? But like I said you guys are still being professional I suppose posting news about things you loath so much for the very few at this site that enjoy the franchise.

#3 - i agree 100% #8 - true, most of us (including myself) hate this garbage. however, i like the fact that they put many different movies on here. a few days ago alex put a trailer up for "another year" - a movie he said he hates...........but, the few comments that were there at the time (including mine) liked it. my point - that's the only way to find great movies. we NEED sites that will put up info on many different movies so we can be informed (for better or worse) on what is coming next. besides - if all that was put on here was what the majority of posters liked, we'd be limited to just a couple of genres.....and that's not what a site dedicated to movies should be about.

With Bill Condon on as director you know something will be subliminally homosexual!

These movies are gonna be boring as SHIT. I really wish there weren't so many people who love this junk, it's insufferable and it makes me feel like it's doomed us to a future full of new media just like this childish, absurd, and just poorly made series of books and movies. Although from what I've heard the 3rd movie doesn't suck as bad. BUT STILL twilight is teh suxxorzz and all those twihard n00bs need to stfu.

agree with #1

#14 And if you want to see exclusively "high art" there are websites that will appeal to that. This is a blogging site. Let's not get confused about that. He can cover whatever he wants, whenever he wants.

I for one like the series. So thanks Alex for posting this.

I guess im a little biased considering I grew up in Forks, WA, and am very glad I dont live there anymore. Everytime one of these damn movies comes out my entire small bluecollar logging town gets flooded with pale tweens and divorced women in their late 40s. I cant put into words how much this franchise and its fans annoy me to my core.

I'd still watch these over the Star Wars prequels.

You also have to realize that in any sort of online community, only a small percentage of people will read the comments, and an even smaller percentage of those people will actually post them. Even if every comment was 100% negative, there culd still be quite a lot of people who come here and are excited to see these flicks. That said, I hate them, but I've liked some of Condon's work and I think it will be interesting to see him direct something more commercial like this. I'll probably still hate it because the story is one of the most shallow and insulting things I've ever heard of, but it will at least be put together properly and have, you know, coherent structure and maybe some semblance of pacing and rhythm. @24: they made more star wars movies? Wait... really? I only seem to recall episodes 4,5 and 6. Are you sure they made more star wars films? I seem to remember seeing some movie that was called "Episode One", but I thought it was star trek or... no wait, they made that Star Trek movie, are you sure you didn't confuse that for a Star Wars film by mistake? It's kinda weird that the new star wars movies felt more like bad star trek movies, and the new star trek movie felt more like a star wars movie. As far as maybe rather watching the twilight films instead... well now there are going to be more twilight films than prequels... so I'd rather watch the prequels so that not as much of my time is wasted. Also, they are more fun to bash. Sparkly vampire jokes and making fun of the crazy girl con only be funny for so long. The prequels at least keep giving you new shit to ridicule.

Why split it up to 2 movies??? Why??? Aaaarrrrggghhh!!! My girlfriend makes me go with her when she watches these movies and I was sooo looking forward to weathering one movie, just ONE more movie before I could finally breathe one deep sigh of relief that the torture has ended... = ( And no, no amount of gratuitous show of skin from whoever will make up for its crappiness...
