Twilight 2: New Moon

[Bob]

But why do "vamprires love to play baseball"? 

Is that explained in the book somewhere?

[D.B. Barnes]

'Cause they suck at hoops?

[RobtheBarbarian]

Or they got laughed out of too many bowling alleys?

[D.B. Barnes]

Bowling shirts would actually dignify these people!

[Doctor Who?]

Why not? This is Twilight. The vampires do sparkle in the sun, afterall.

Which reminds me,Where on earth did she get that from?!

The Vampires can't become bats(One of the coolest things any monster can do)but for no reason they sparkel?!

She says it came from a dream she had.

I have dreamed about a lot of things the world doesn't want to know about and that I should not show them.  She should have had the same sense.

Just last night I dreamed the cast of the Love Boat was playing nude shuffleboard...WHERE'S MY FRANCHISE?!?

I'm sad to say I think there may be a market for that.

Just the thought of people actually wanting to see Captain Stubbing erotically nude makes me cringe. 

[Tripe]

Just the thought of people actually wanting to see Captain Stubbing erotically nude makes me cringe. 

How do you feel about artistically nude?

[Tyrant]

I'm not entirely sure some people should even be artistically nude. I'd have to confer with other artists on this to be sure.

From imdb...

Parts of the Twilight story are based on a dream that Meyer had. In her dream, the vampire sparkled in the sun. She included this detail when she transcribed her dream, and wove it into the storyline as she turned the account of her dream into the novel. The pseudoscientific reason as to why sunlight makes vampires' skin sparkle is stated in her website: "They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin. The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells, they are hard and reflective like crystal." The hard and reflective cells of the skin of the vampires is what gives them strong, unbreakable skin and the "sparkling" effect from the sunlight. It also works well as a plot device that adds to the mystique of the vampires. In most vampire stories, sunlight kills vampires; in some, it does not. For example, the original Count Dracula (in Bram Stoker's novel) was not harmed by sunlight and could go about the town during the day. In the Twilight world that Meyer created, sunlight won't kill a vampire, but what it does to their skin would attract a lot of attention and potentially expose them to the general public.

There you have it, DocWho, and I don't want Blade anywhere near the Cullens. This franchise is too much fun!

But why do "vamprires love to play baseball"? 

Okay, that she got so right. Baseball's the ultimate, and I draft her...

It doesn't add anything other then making them look like they should be hanging out at a gay night club!  I can't decide if I hate here or whoever wrote Pearl Harbor more.

I was happy to hear that Stephen King released a statement saying that Stephanie Myers, "can't write worth a darn" and especially happy when she apparently stopped working on her new Twilight book "Midnight Sun" after it was leaked onto the internet.

Hopefully she will turn her pen to serial romance books and I never have to hear about her again.

The whole thing about "You knew you're in a room full of vampires and you're surprised that you're attacked..." thing....

My question is, these vampires have supposedly be living amongst humans - to the point that they even go to school and practice medicine - for decades?

And yet they still haven't learned to control themselves when they see the least bit of blood no matter what the circumstance?  Then how is it that they're able to keep up the pretense of being normal?  Or is every other human supposedly as terminally clueless as Bella?

- Dakota Fanning is in this? Where?

At the end of trailer #3 - "This may hurt a little"

- And finally, there's this stupid....wait a minute. Is that....Michael Sheen? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
             - How could you, you magnificent bastard?! Sure, you make kickass werewolf and probably a better vampire, but TWILIGHT??

For that matter, that group looks like the whole supporting cast of Underworld and Underworld: Evolution

Far as Michael Sheen goes, if he's going to get a good "Brendan Fraiser-type" career going here (a few silly things for the money and then something wonderful) through vampire movies....more power to him.

I was happy to hear that Stephen King released a statement saying that Stephanie Myers, "can't write worth a darn".....

Took this long for someone in the industry to finally say it?

Can we have a law that just out and out bans Tween and Teenage girls from buying books or going to the movies?  Sure that may seem harsh but think of all the pain we would avoid.
