KISS MY ASS!!!!  TEAM PEDOWOLF ALL THE WAY!!!!  YOU SUCK!

Actually we're talking about the same Team. Taylor Lautner is only 17, henceforth why I call him Team Jailbait.

[D.B. Barnes]

You'd think w/ Bella being a vegetarian, they'd have commemorative veggie-burger shots, but no.

It's okay. There's no actual meat in those burgers. They're mostly sawdust and spackling compound.

[TeamRAD]

That settles it. I'm going to BK just to get me one of those crowns. I'm all for Team Jailbait.

KISS MY ASS!!!!  TEAM PEDOWOLF ALL THE WAY!!!!  YOU SUCK!

Ah.  My apologies.  I thought you were advocating Bella.....even though she's not at odds with anyboby.

[RobtheBarbarian]

I am confused and frightened.

Barbarian, come on now, that's just your butt speaking on the realism mode from L4D2...

Alright, if I recall correctly, these aren't actual wearwolves because it's not the moon that changes them.  It is instead some legend of their tribe that involves spirits flitting in and out of living beings that they can turn into wolves.  It hasn't happened in a few generations, so, when it happened with the eldest (and current alpha), it was a shock to all.  It hadn't happened in the previous book yet so they couldn't furspode into tracking vampires.  That's something that was introduced in this book/movie.

Okay....but then I have to ask....

I get that they're not werewolves as we've known them - just like the Cullens aren't vampires like we - or anyone else until now - have ever heard about....
But that story that Jacob tells about the treaty his tribe has with the Cullens....
So if this having werewolves around is such a hit-and-miss thing, then how could the tribe have any power to hold the Cullens to their part of the treaty? If the Cullens wanted to violate the thing all they'd have to do is wait for a time without werewolves and wipe them out, wouldn't they?  The tribe must feel that the Cullens are a constant threat considering the Evil Eye they're always giving each other (like Edward glaring at Jacob at the prom and saying something about "the wolves showing up" - even though Jacob wasn't one yet  ).
And if these spirits come in and out of the members of the tribe at will, why didn't they when Dreadlock and company first strolled into town?  Why did they wait until now?

God, this is all just so badly written!

It IS so badly written!!!

Long before the Cullens got there was when the ancestor of theirs I think got murdered and his spirit went into a wolf and something to do with his sons......  I don't remember, the series is unremarkable and mushed together.  Books 2 & 3 are one year, split in two.

It is because somebody's human spirit went into a wolf before that now allows these people of this tribe (and, again, not all people, I think there has to be vampires around and the tribe to feel threatened for this to materialize....I'm not sure).  It's not that spirits are now floating in and out of corporeal bodies.

They are kinda at the mercy of the Cullen's, BUT, remember, it's a quid pro quo agreement: the vampires don't hunt wolves on their property and the wolf tribe wont tell all of Washington that the vampires are vampires.

It IS VERY poorly written, and, I bet Wikipedia would explain it better.....and give you a headache.

But....

But the tribe isn't telling White Eyes about the other vampires being vampires either...so the Cullens bought their silence about everyone no matter how nasty?

Besides, Jacob is bitching at Edward at the end of this new movie that biting Bella will be breaking the treaty...and she's not part of the tribe.

And Jacob knows about the bite mark on Bela's arm...guess that's not a problem because she didn't die?  And if all the Cullens had to leave because the Dr.'s age was raising questions, how come they were able to come back at the end of the movie?

Oh...for the clarity and story-telling prowess of a George Lucas script.....

"Twilight" sequel "New Moon" grossed around $141 million this weekend, failing to break the record for best opening weekend of all time. The film bumped "Pirates of the Caribbean" ($136 million) to take third place after "The Dark Knight" ($158 million) and "Spider-Man 3" ($151 million). "New Moon" still holds the records for best midnight gross and best first day gross.

The film also performed well internationally, grabbing another $118.1 million, for a total worldwide debut of $258.8 million.

The amazing numbers helped make this the second-best weekend ever at the domestic box office in terms of overall ticket sales, trailing only the weekend that "The Dark Knight" opened.

Assisting the weekend's performance was Sandra Bullock's "The Blind Side," which did far better than expected by opening to an estimated $34.5 million. Even the badly-reviewed "Planet 51" debuted to $12.6 million.

In limited release, Nicolas Cage's "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans" grossed only $257,267 from 27 theaters, for a mediocre per-screen average of $9,528. Meanwhile, Penelope Cruz's "Broken Embraces" opened in two locations for a per-screen average of $53,799, earning a total of $107,597.

There's zombies in "Twilight" too?   

[CrowTeeRobot]

Hmm, while I was at the Redbox today picking up "The Taking of Pelham 123" I saw what looked like a ripoff of twilight tucked into the corner of all the DVD covers. When I take my movie back I'll snap a picture, because I haven't the foggiest what its name was. Looked like something from the asylum, and god would that be wonderful.
