oh okay thanks =) No I haven't but it looks interesting and I'd like to read something interesting lol I will try to find it ^^ I think Stephanie Meyer kind of rushed her last books so that's maybe why they are not so great

You know, I thought so too. She tried too hard to give that dream happy ending for Bella and Edward. I thought the whole baby eating her inside out things was creepy (my dad compared it to the movie Alien xD) I absolutley hate the names Renesmee, and towards the end, there was hardly any real action and way too many vampires with funky names to keep track of. Oh, and just for the heck of it, I'm rereading the first book, and I never realized how tedious it was. Seriously, chapters 7-13 are all just one week describing all her classes and every conversation with Edward.

Yes that's true ! I thought it was creepy too and in the movie it gave a weird atmosphere I didn't like it and she was so thin ! Your dad is right xD I hate it too when I heard it it made me laugh lol and I thought it was very weird that Jacob imprints Renesmee as a baby ..=s oh really ? That makes a lot of description =p mainly when I barely remembered who her classmates were when watching the 4th movie xD

I actually had to give credit to the makeup people for making her look that thin, but the part where she was drinking blood and it make her teeth red . . . I gagged a little at that. But yes, the atmosphere was too tense for my liking.
I agree with the weirdness of Jacob imprinting on baby Renesmee. It was borderline pedophilic in my opinion.
Understandable not remembering them, as Bella ditches them about a third into the book for a certain sparkling fairy-er vampire (I really hated the sparkling concept).

yes , she really looked like an anorexic person maybe she really did lose weight ? Same it was kind of disgusting but at least it was not in a glass it would have been worse I think That's what I thought , even though it's not real love it's very much like it but in the movie they showed her as a teenager so that it would seem more acceptable . that's right =p I don't really mind the sparkling concept but it's true that it's not how it should be , vampires are supposed to burn in sunlight not to shine >_<

I liked them showing her as a teenager a little bit too. One thing that kind of bugs me out about it thought is through her child years he's like her brother, and then when she grows up, he's her soul mate? Creepy. There were some really great parts about the newest movie though. I loved the wedding speeches, especially Charlie's. They were hilarious. Alice and Rosalie were great too, especially Rosalie, who supported Bella through and through. You're right, vampires don't sparkle, they shrivel up and die.

Yes that was well made with the close up on the eyes =) That's creepy indeed but maybe it's because it's imprinting so that's different from normal love ? I loved that part too it was really funny ^^ The begining of the movie is what I like the most it's when she finds out she is pregnant that it becomes tense . I also liked the volturi scene at the very end I find them funny lol That's it xD it depends on the movies or series but they always die/burn/turn to stone in sunlight .

That's it xD it depends on the movies or series but they always die/burn/turn to stone in sunlight . *been stalking this conversation for awhile.* That's not always true, sometimes sunlight just irritates them or they simply don't like it because they are nocturnal creatures. Owls don't burn in sunshine but they certainly don't enjoy being awake during the day. In any case, sparkly vampire suck. Have any of you seen the parody movie "Vampires Suck"? It's hysterical! They mostly make fun of Twilight the entire time but they add a few tributes in to other shows such as buffy the vampire slayer. *goes back to stalking*

Now that you mention it I remember that in the anime Vampire Knight they don't burn they just don't like it as you said ^^ but I think it makes them special being unable to go into sunlight . Yep :-p No , I haven't but I remember seeing it was in the cinema and it looked funny =) Twilight parodies are often funny ; )

Twilight parodies are among the best. Never seen Vampires Suck, but a friend of mine did and gave me the details. It sounds hilarious. Me and my nephew sort of have our own Twilight parody, but you'd only get it if you've seen the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Oh, and the Volturi are just awesome. Especially Jane.

Elspeth I agree with what you said a few posts up, nobody should ever read Vampire Kisses, it is such a bad book! The storyline seemed completely pointless to me, and if I remember correctly I don't think it was very well written.
I LOVE The Hunger Games!!!!!! I read those books so fast! I never wanted them to end, I couldn't believe how good they were! When I first heard the plot I thought it sounded weird and that I probably wouldn't like it, but I was hooked after the first chapter of the first book!!! After I read them through I went out and bought my own copies and read them again! I imagined Effie Trinket as Rita Skeeter, and I still do!! I don't care if Elizabeth Banks is going to play her, Miranda is my Effie Trinket!! Whenever I see the tagline "may the odds be ever in your favour", I always hear Miranda's voice because that is how I remember reading it! Ahh good times!!!! Elizabeth Banks' version is waaaay off of what I imagined but she will probably do a good job in the role.

It wasn't. Lots of 'hipster' talk, and more gothic clothing descriptions than the non existent story. From what I remember the plot was always the same: Some 'evil' vampire comes to town and buddies up with someone, the gothic girl and her vampire boyfriend must stop them, there is a lot of gothic stuff and making out in between and at the end they save the day.
I love Hunger Games so much!! There are no words to describe my love for it. I just hope they don't eff it up by doing some whole "Team Peeta" and "Team Gale" thing like they did with Twilight.
You know, I never made the connection between Effie Trinket and Rita Skeeter before but now I totally see it! Miranda would've been PERFECT as Effie, since we all know she can brilliantly play such bizzare characters (Though she could play Prim and be brilliant at it). But I won't underestimate Elizabeth Banks playing her, she might do a fantastic job.

Thats true, I feel like Vampire Kisses only had a storyline so the author could talk about two gothic teenagers and they way they dressed and felt about the rest of the world. How they don't fit in and all that. It was boring!
I really hope the Hunger Games doesn't end up being Team Peeta or Gale either, that would not be cool! Why can't the two just coexist harmoniously?! Fans can have their favourite but it doesn't have to be a popularity contest!
I know!!! Basically just die Rita's hair purple and make it bigger and you have her costume from the first scene! It's a green suit! XD I am looking forward to seeing Elizabeth Banks playing Effie too though, she is a good actress! But Miranda!!!!!!! Be Effie Trinket for me!!!!!!!!

I know! I'm all for stories about misfits, but I would like a story with a point. Plus, I'm just not into all that gothic and emo stuff. Just not my thing. Exactly! And why do you always have to have a favorite? Can't you just be Team Switzerland? Miranda with purle hair and her green silk suit: That . . . .would . . . . be . . . . EPIC!!!
