Dear Lord...if I ever have to watch this 2 1/4hr diatribe of lovelorn teenage depressive angst ridden anxiety flick ever again shoot me. On the spot. Dead. In the head. Please.

Words cannot describe how stunning...and seriously here I *really* do mean stunningly...bad this film was. It was bad in every sense. It was...well...it was just bad! Bad, bad, bad!

Bad!


Even my wife was laughing at how corny and cheesily bad it was and its her sodding fault my sorry arse got dragged out to frigging Coventry to see it.

Twilight was fine Charlie, at least something actually happened during it. New Moon is the new film, the next in the Twilight saga and it sucks donkeys dick.

Have they changed the story from the books then?

Coventry? From your place? Bit of a distance that! hehe

Er...Im in Rugby Ali. Where do you think I am!

I dont know if they have changed it from the books, the wife didnt say. I think more happens in the books though from what she has said. The entire point of the film just seems to be for girlies to drool at the hunky boy-toy showing his abs and pecs off.

yes But i thought you'd have found a 'nicer' cinema over that way wink

Ahh, so it has been commercialised from the original then (which I sat and watched last night having recently read the books and thought they did a good job with it, kept to the story, didn't miss much out that was essential to the plot (unlike HP!)or ADD anything!) pity frown They are good enough books (remembering that they are aimed at young teenagers) to be left alone frown The underlying message I got from them was to hold on to your youth (and virginity) and enjoy yourself until you knew it was the right time for you to let go.

Well I thought it was ok, the start was off putting, school environment etc but it got better.

Apparently the books are better.

For a more grown up vampire story stick to True Blood!

Showcase is ace. No-one ever goes to see the decent films so it's always empty.

In support of all teenage boys out there may I just say that I gained the opposite opinion and felt the underlying message was in fact for the girl to 'give it up' as soon as their beau uttered the immortal line:

"If you loved me, you would"

I'm dragging HWMBO to see this tomo, on the basis that he gets to sit in the comfy private gallery with lots of sweets and chocolate, and will most probably fall asleep and proclaim it utter drivle. hehe

Looking forward to it (the film not the snoring)

Luckily I got out of a visit to the cinema to watch it, found the first one utterly boring. Sounds like the 2nd installment is just as bad

I had a dream where I was in Twilight, but all I could find were plastic weapons.
This thwarted any attempt at killing any of them. frown

I couldn't help feel that main angsty vampire guys primary method of expression seemed to be "blue steel" (al la zoolander) Truly awful film which was the only downside to my trip to exeter this weekend...

Also how come in a vampire film that stretches out past 2 WHOLE ENTIRE MIND NUMBINGLY TEDIOUS HOURS was there not a single scene where a vampire kills/eats anyone? Its fairly central to the whole vampire mythology that they occasionally bite people, and is in fact the whole point (sorry) of the teeth

....aaaaaaand another thing - sparkling - really?

So New Moon is worse than the original angst-ridden, teen sigh full, plotless, peadophilic vampire non-love story Twilight then?

Almost got dragged to it at the weekend, but managed to turn the car around halfway with the promise of putting the latest Harry Potter on the projector at home. The lesser of two evils...

Showed my daughter lost boys at the weekend...she wasnt impressed by Jack Bower's punk bloodsucker but her little brother wants a stake for Christmas to complete his Frog brothers costume!

(on a serious point....my 13 yr old went from hating reading to blasting through all the twighlight books 4 times each!...so educational, i'm all for it)
