THE DEVIN'S ADVOCATE: WHY BREAKING DAWN MUST BE MADE INTO A MOVIE

With New Moon likely to make yet another metric fuckload of money this weekend we need to find the bright side to the entire Twilight mania. There must be something good that comes from this awful Mormon fantasy that seems to have invaded our culture on every front. That something is the eventual movie version of Breaking Dawn.Even though New Moon has made a bazillion dollars and even though the third Twilight book, Eclipse, is already filming, Summit has declined to announce the fourth and final Twilight book as a movie. There's a good reason for this: Breaking Dawn is completely fucking insane, and it is probably totally unfilmable. But if they do film it... man, we are in for a treat.
Breaking Dawn opens with Bella Swan, the lacteal heroine of the series, finally getting married to Edward Cullen, the mopey vampire hero. They go off to honeymoon on Isle Esme, a Brazilian island the Cullen clan owns (this is already ridiculous beyond belief. Imagine a vampire going snorkeling; it basically happens in this book), and Edward is afraid to fuck his new bride. The reason: he's super strong and she's just a human - Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex type of situation here. But Bella wears him down and Edward throws it in her - and knocks her the fuck out, leaving her badly bruised.
Let's go over that again: Edward fucks Bella into unconsciousness. This alone should have you running to Fandango to pre-order your tickets, but it only gets better.
Despite being knocked out cold by his sexual style (and having the headboard destroyed), Bella goes back to Edward for seconds. This time he knocks her up. Yes, an undead vampire apparently has enough viable sperm to impregnate a human woman while fucking her off the coast of Rio de Janero. Stephenie Meyer, you fabulous idiot!
The baby in Bella's belly starts growing incredibly fast. And it starts hurting Bella, as each kick it gives has the super strength of a vampire behind it. As it grows, Bella gets sicker, and then the good stuff starts. The baby kicks so hard it breaks Bella's ribs and then severs her spine. Are you imagining Kristen Stewart wearing a fake pregnancy belly and pretending to have been suddenly crippled by her own fetus? Because I am and it's making me laugh and laugh and laugh.
Oh wait, I missed something. Edward is completely freaked out about the baby, fearing it will kill Bella. He tries to convince her to get an abortion (but seriously, how could she? Vampires are tough to kill even in this shitty series), and goes so far as asking Native American wolfboy Jacob to impregnate his wife so that she can have the baby she desperately wants. I'm dizzy with how ridiculous this is, and we're just getting started.
Eventually the baby starts to get born and Bella is dying. The baby has telepathy, by the way, so everybody can read its thoughts while it's in the womb, and it turns out to have an essentially adult mind. Like Alia in Dune; I would accuse Stephenie Meyer of ripping this off, but anyone who thinks that Meyer might have read Frank Herbert has never been within spitting distance of Twilight. The woman is a moron.
In a moment that demands to be shown on the silver screen, Edward gives Bella an emergency C-section with his fucking teeth. It's like something out of XTro, for the love of God. It's so horrible it's brilliant, and this scene alone is why I remain firm in declaring that David Cronenberg must direct Breaking Dawn. This is surely his movie.
Once the baby is out, Bella gets vamped by Edward, as she's about to die at any moment. Then comes the most astonishing turn of events in 21st century literature, and possibly in the entire history of awful fiction aimed at tweens: Jacob the werewolf, who has been madly in love with Bella, sees the new baby girl and immediately imprints on her. What this means, in layman's terms, is that he falls in love with the baby.
I want to pull this out on its own: Jacob falls in love with a baby.
The book makes no bones about this; while Jacob doesn't want to fuck the baby right off the bat, he can't stand to be away from it and visits everyday. His love has been transferred from Bella to the baby (who has the tongue shattering name Renesmee), and because of the science behind imprinting he'll love her forever. So one day he's going to stick his wolf dick in this girl that he see as a bloody newborn. Romance is not dead, it's just being abused by insane Mormon writers.
There's more in Breaking Dawn - the Volturi come back, for one thing - but these are the main amazing events that demand this book to be turned into a film. I will not rest until I have seen a movie in which a werewolf falls in love with a baby. Hell, once I've seen a werewolf fall in love with a baby I may quit movie watching - I will have seen the ultimate culmination of a century of cinema. The entire film of Breaking Dawn would play like the weirdest exploitation film since Doris Wishman died - brutal sex, bizarre body horror, unbelievable pedophilia.
A werewolf falling in love with a baby. This is why Thomas Edison invented this shit in the first place. So we could see a werewolf fall in love with a baby.

A hundred fucking times YES to the idea of Cronenberg directing this. Someone get him on the phone and give him the summary of this book, stat.
Comment #2 (Posted by John)
Simply amazing. This is my favorite devins advocate ever.
Comment #3 (Posted by Blarney Stone)
Yup, I heard about this. How bad is this book? Apparently even the fans - women who love and are accustomed to the crapiness of the franchise - think it's a piece of shit...that's got to say soemthing. Needless to say, a movie version could become a classic turkey like Troll 2 or The Wicker Man remake.
Comment #4 (Posted by IndustryKiller!)
First of all I would like to say preemptively that if you read this and disagree with it and feel the need to post your disagreement, stop and take a minute to think about it. Because if you do so you will literally be putting in public print that you are a fucking idiot. An indefensible meat popsicle joke of a human being. So think before defending the literary equivalent of Sarah Palin (although with her autobiography I guess Sarah Palin took that crown) because your justification of your right to exist will more or less be forfeit. just puttin' that out there. Secondly........yes. Just yes. This is going in the ole' facebook profile.
Comment #5 (Posted by 65.605)
I will gladly start abducting people and harvesting their organs, so I could finance this. Especially directed by Cronenberg. I'm not joking.
Comment #6 (Posted by Palmer)
Holy shit, this sounds like the pinnacle of trash! If the studio heads are smart (impossible, since oxymoron, I guess), they'll actually be able to sell the first 3 films to 14-year-old girls and fags and then pull a complete 180 and sell the 4th one to the male moviegoing public. Win win win.
Comment #7 (Posted by Dingus)
Fantastic.
Comment #8 (Posted by an unknown user)
Eh, they'll probably just rewrite all the awesomeness out of it at the script stage. If even fans think this is shit there wouldn't be any backlash to that. Heck, they may even relish the opportunity to "get it right" this time. One way or another, this stuff isn't seeing the light of day.
Comment #9 (Posted by Johnothan Pedak)
I might watch this one.
Comment #10 (Posted by MikeyPants)
It's not going to happen. A friend of mine who read the series told me all this and I almost fell off my chair. As the guy above me mentioned it will be rewritten. I'm sure I read somewhere that they are looking to create new material to carry on the series after Breaking Dawn. If that is true then Breaking Dawn will simply serve to quickly end whatever nonsense happens in the book and then set up the new franchise.
Comment #11 (Posted by SayWhaaaa?)
Oh god - "Imprinting"? Is this how Mormon's pretend to choose their many wives? "Pick o' the litter" style? Oh fuck please let this just be insanely trashy FICTION...

Please God make this happen. I will happily sit in cinemas watching the moronic fucking tween idiots who love Twilight have personality meltdowns as they bear witness to this story.

Just to clarify, a werewolf falls in love with a half- vampire, half-human baby that has telepathic powers? Those mormons are really good at making shit up.

This movie has GOT to be slavishly devoted to the source material. Fuck rewrites, editing, etc. all of the above scenes HAVE to be in this movie for me to check it out. And I agree, Cronenberg was born to make this film.

You spelled mormon wrong there devin. You called her a moron.
Comment #22 (Posted by Jordan)
LOL. I had the the absolute pleasure of hearing about all of this from my girlfriend after casually asking her which of the two Bella ends up with in the end(or if she decides to drop them both in favor of a mummy or some shit.) Either way, if you had a nickel for every time I responded with "....the fuck are you talking about?!" Seriously people, next time you've had a few beers, ask your girlfriend how the series ends and let her tell you everything Devin just told you except with a goddamn straight face. It's brilliant.

Devin = genius
Comment #24 (Posted by Johnnyfavourite)
Do yourselves a favor and check out amazon.com "user comments" -section for Breaking Dawn. That stuff is priceless.
Comment #25 (Posted by TheColonel)
This is so ridiculous it brushes the fringe of genius, if only for a second. Stephanie Meyer should just write full-on trash like this from now on. I'd like to see her "Breaking Dawn"-ize some of the more fucked up stories from the Old Testament. How does she do this with a straight face? Are morons, er Mormons, really that fucking self-serious?
Comment #26 (Posted by Jon)
This movie sounds.....incredible. But forget Cronenberg to do it. He's past his prime. Get David Fincher on the phone, stat! And you know I'm right! Oh, and Jim Uhls to adapt the movie for the big screen. Then, for once, I wouldn't want to punch every Twilight fan in the stomach.

I would cut my junk off to see this god aweful mormon book put to screen. Seriously how fucked up in the head do you have to be to think that people would read this ...ohhh wait....God damn what the fuck women ate this shit up...
Great read Devin
Comment #30 (Posted by John DiLoretto)
Holy crap. Incredibly vigorous synopsis Devin -- very vivid. We all must see this -- Cronenberg hasn't opened a belly since James Woods fisted his own abdomi-gina in Videodrome.
Comment #31 (Posted by an unknown user)
So how long before the site gets renamed to Avatar And Twilight Happenings In Development? And how is this clusterfuck of wish fulfilment and stunted adolescent sex fantasy any more stupid than the ludicrous histories of pretty much every fucking superhero comic published by Marvel and DC? Oh, that's right - Twilight is for girls.

Comment #34 (Posted by DrOstermansBigBlueDong)
Wow. I can't believe women are fucking obsessed with this shit. This just proves that women have taste for shit when it comes to books, movies, and even music. I'll echo ThriceDamned's sentiments, Devin. You usually come across like some bitter, dysfunctional hipster in your editorials, but this one was right on target.
Cronenberg would be perfect for this horseshit. Just to put a cherry on top they should stunt-cast Nic Cage in there somewhere. If Cronenberg isn't available they should get Verhoeven or Uwe Boll.
Comment #35 (Posted by Gwai Lo)
Why don't we just go one better and stunt-cast Cage as Robert Pattinson's replacement.

Comment #39 (Posted by What does "lactile" mean?)
Love the article, but can't find "lactile" in any dictionary. Is it really a word?
Comment #40 (Posted by Rob)
Wikipedia says they have every intention to make this. Stephanie Meyer also says though:
She also believes it may be impossible to film due to Renesmee, writing that an actress could not play her because she is a baby but has complete awareness, and that "the one thing that I've never seen is a CGI human being who truly looks real"; however, she went on to state that "they develop amazing new technologies everyday, and we've got a little time left."
Afraid about something in Breaking Dawn not coming across as realistic on film....

Being a fan of the Twilight series, I must say, that I aboslutely LOVE this article. Of the series, this is certainly the one book that is truly OUT THERE. Yes, yes, the entire series can be considered out there anyway, but of the four, this is the one that makes you want to go, huh? Really?
Another good one, Mr. Faraci!
Comment #43 (Posted by Pazuzu)
I love Cronenberg and all, but this takes a little more crazy than even he can muster. This just screams Troma. Get Lloyd on the phone STAT!
Comment #44 (Posted by Nick)
"lactile" = lacteal = milky or milk-like
Comment #45 (Posted by God's Fuckbuddy)
#31, you fucking imbecile. That Is The Whole Point You Blithering, Simpering Moron. They love the kind of ludicrous shit that happens in superhero and horror movies - therefore they'd love to see the movie based on this ludicrous book. Ever heard of logic?!? Ever heard of consistency?!? Jesus fuck are you blindingly stupid for posting that. The fact that it's possible for your blatant idiocy to exist in this world makes me sick for the future of mankind.

Forget Cronenberg! I want Takashi Miike for this one. Just imagine: the sick guy that made Audition and Ichi The Killer making a movie like that.

Man, I wish all Mormons were this insane. Church would be way more exciting. Unfortunately this has nothing to do with mormonism and everything to do with the fact that Stephanie Meyer is completely crazy, and so apparently is half the world that is buying her books.
Comment #53 (Posted by Matt)
Devin once again demonstrates that he has no fucking idea about the Twilight Saga. Jacob imprinting on Renesmee does NOT mean that he will "fuck her", as you ignorantly say. Imprinting means that he will be a close companion, but she has the final choice in whether or not they become more than close friends.
Am I an avid Twilight fan? No. Am I sick of all of the generalizations against Twilight fans due to ignorant fucktards that simplify the book's storyline? Yes.
Comment #54 (Posted by Gwai Lo)
Phew, good thing you set Devin straight there Matt. We definitely don't want to simplify Twilight any further, any simpler and its fans will just start spontaneously sprouting extra chromosomes.
Comment #55 (Posted by Mr Rekshun)
#53... Thanks for clearing up the plot for us, pal. It's WAY less creepy and retarded now that we know that werewolf boy will pine around for a few years before he finds out if young Renesmee "The Spine-smashing Foetus" Cullen wants some of his Red Rocket.
Comment #56 (Posted by iRob)
It would be amazing if they stayed that faithful to such a crazy ass book, but I think the PG-13 rating will cause them to neuter the hell out of the film adaptation. Which would be a shame because even though I hate Twilight I would pay twice the price of admission to watch Kristen Stewert receive a spinal cord injury from a fetus, and a fang-centric C section.
Comment #57 (Posted by Anon)
I have to agree with what some of you are saying. I'm not a major fan of Twilight, but I still like it. And I stopped reading Breaking Dawn as soon as I read that Jacob imprints on Bella's hellbaby. The whole plot was just incredibly stupid. I wouldn't be surprised if Meyer was hitting some acid with this one. I tell people not to read the book it's so bad; the only reason I'd see the movie is to laugh at it.
Comment #58 (Posted by Deathpig)
I agree the books are very very badly written with a very slim storyline. But my god the majority of you guys are absolute idiots. "Oh lets all hate stuff and argue with anyone who disagrees with us, I think ill get a hate diary when i turn 15". Life is to short to hate people who like stuff you hate. You might learn this when you grow up.And why should you even be concerned in the first place. Children.

Does anybody else think that the fans of these stupid book only reject this one not because it's stupid, but because stuff actually happens, and it's not about people staring at each other and teenage angst?

On the bright side, when teens find the movie in 20 years, they'll think its a parody of the genre!

BTW, if the baby's a vampire, and vampires never age, does that mean that it'll stay a baby forever?

Very funny review! You can't make this stuff up...wait, she did... In fairness however, I don't see how mormons get dragged through the mud here simply by her affiliation. There is a ton of even weirder $hit out there, and some how it never makes it to light. My two sense. Again, great review.

#70... the baby is half human half vampire. It ages rapidly and is very fast at learning as well while still somewhat maintaining a childlike innocence. Now as for some of you guys, read the book before you knock it. It's not all that bad. It's crazy, yes. But it makes an interesting OHMYGOSH read. Very funny article. Not true all the way through, it's kinda shallow, but still hilarious.

They ended New Moon preparing Eclipse to be the final story- cutting out the mutant human vampire baby. Edward proposes to her saying that he will only change her if they are married- whereas in the book he proposes because he won't sleep with her unless they are married. Bella will be changed into a vampire in the 3rd movie, but not because she's going to die of vampiric pregnancy, unfortunately.
Comment #83 (Posted by JS Partisan)
Breaking Dawn is so truly ridiculous, that it's the Twilight equivalent of the Seinfeld finale. Hopefully the film Breaking Dawn will be what the last book should have been about... KILLING THE FUCKING VOLTURI BY WEREWOLF! Seriously, those motherfuckers have to die, and the werewolves HAVE GOT TO EAT! You have to be monumentally out to fucking lunch as an author not to make that happen. Seriously, Breaking Dawn aka WEREWOLVES REVENGE... WOLVES GOT TO HEAT!

Edward knock Bella up the first time they do it. And not everyone can read Renesmee's thoughts while she is in the womb; just Edward. And you forgot to mention that it will be interesting to see how they manage to make the last part of it remotely exciting.

I am amazed that it took this long for a "spoiler" / what the fuck" article to appear here but since the actual book ends with Jacob babysitting his future staring at with longing partner while Bella shows Edward how she can "share her mind with others" and then they go into a room to eternity fuck since they have all the time in the world and a built in babysitter.
They will have to change the film but the manga adaptation will be awesome!

Let's also not leave out that Bella had to drink blood during the pregnancy.
Oh and that almost the entire book is about the Cullens and werewolves preparing for an end-all battle with the Volturi THAT DOESN'T EVER HAPPEN. Everyone meets for the battle, they come to an agreement, part ways, and live happily ever after. Seriously.
Comment #93 (Posted by WHAT THE FUCK?)
WHAT THE FUCK? Why has only one person mentioned Raimi? Look what he managed to do with a piece of shit like Drag me to hell. That was a masterpiece compared to what would have happened if anyone else had made it. Raimi is the only director for Breaking Dawn.

i hate the way they say "we dont care about your opinion,so dont say it around us".clearly they do care,otherwise they wouldnt be telling us to essentially shut up.

The Twilight Series is the most retarded thing to come out in the past decade. I'm sorry, but it's below crap.
I don't associate the book with the Religion though. Actually, some of the best people I know are Mormons. And I'll base my opinion on real experiences, rather than on one messed up book or person. I wouldn't judge an entire 13 million people from one schizophrenic fantasy.

I liked all the Twilight books, except Breaking Dawn. Its like Stephenie Meyer lost her freaking mind. Or did a lot of drugs, or both. I don't want it to be made into a movie. I don't think there's any coming back from it. It's like Rob and Kristen will never get good jobs after that one. I think they should just stop at Eclipse.

You have no idea what your talking about! Any of you! These books are brilliant, a tad crazy but brilliant all the same. The thing with Jacob and Renesmee is nothing like your making out its not perverted its a friendship and caring. You should read the books and understand them before you make comments. As the saying goes dont judge a book by its cover or this tosser who wrote the article for that matter!

I read all 4 books and let me tell you that although they were somewhat good, Breaking Dawn was the BIGGEST piece of shit i have EVER read. I'm a writer myself and you do have to remember that Meyer is not only writing for 13 yr olds but she also has the ideas of one. In othe news, apparently society is contempt with men 'imprinting' on infants - this boggles my mind. Ahhh the strength and power of printed/published material!

Comment #112 (Posted by TG)
Whoever wrote this is the idiot! Shut up already! Do you not have anything better to do with your time and energy than to spred even more hate into this already horrible world? If people like Twilight, then so be it! It will not affect your life in any way. If you don't like it, don't watch it, don't read it, just stop spreading such hate and disgust into the world. By the way there are some homeless kids, homosexuals, and bi racial people that you haven't said vulgar things about, would you like to take a crack at them too?

Commentators 31 and 34, could you BE any more sexist?! Apparently you have a really low opinion of yourself if you have to piss on an entire gender just to feel THAT self-righteous. The majority of men only gravitate to things involving half-naked women, sport, cars and violence. Does that make them idiots completely lacking in taste? No. It just happens to be what they enjoy as an escape. Women like something equally fluffy and that makes them automatically nonsensical about all matters of life? Complete and utter bs. Go out and do something, ANYTHING, that makes you happy because you are seriously way too bitter and pathetic right now.
Devin, I've never read your blog but this is utterly HILARIOUS. And I'm praying, hardcore, that BD is made in just this way. There will never be enough popcorn for the amount of times me and my friends would watch it! *thumbs up*

I love your article.

Okay, First of all I want to point out that I understand people are entitled to their own opinion, but yours is overly biased. While I am a fan of the Twilight franchise, I am not one of those crazy obsessive fans who cant open their mind to a little criticism, but this goes beyond that.
You and everyone else commenting on this article, seems to closed minded and ignorant as well.
While I do agree with the fact that this particular book was poorly written, you are making out to be trashy and unimaginably horrific beyond words when it isn't. I will admit that a lot of these ideas or parts in this book are far fetched, but remember, its fiction, meaning its NOT REAL, its just a book. Second, I am going to point out that Edward does not bite Bella during the birthing scene, Carlisle takes care of Bella during labor, Edward doesn't lay a finger on her until he injects his venom in her heart with a syringe. And last but not least, Jacob does imprint on Renesmee, which is a beautiful name by the way, but if you even had half a brain and weren't so immature, you would understand that until the baby grows up, Jacob will protect her and be by her side to watch over her. The falling in love with her doesn't come until she is of age and is able to make that decision herself.
I do agree that this book was poorly written, does indeed lack realness, needs a heavy dose of reality, and could definitely be improved in many ways, but its a fictional book written to target teenagers.
I would suggest the next time you decide to write a biased article and completely degrade the author's work, it would definitely be in your best interest to do some research on the subject first and be more open minded.

i don't care if someone likes twilight. but they must see it for the cheesy fluff it is, a guilty pleasure... but BRILLIANT? read Goethe, Camus, Hemmingway, Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley, Dickens, Twain and tell me twilight is still brilliant. Hell, for some modern greats read Cormac McCarthy, Jeffery Euginides, Joseph Heller, Anthony Burgess, Anne Rice (i'm not saying i have read all of these authors, just saying these were brilliant people)
Comment #117 (Posted by Vixy)
Okay so ive just read your review on breaking dawn and i have to say i pissed myself reading this because obviously you didnt understand the book properly. btw when Renessme is in Bella's womb she is not teleapathic for everyone to hear, The only person who can hear her thoughts are Edward because he is a mind reader and he cant always hear her thoughts, its only coming towards the end of the pregnacy he can hear them. Another thing you have completely wrong is the details of Jacob imprinting on renessme. Yes he does imprint but hes not sexually in love with her, he feels like it is his job to protect her! YES THAT DOES NOT MEAN HE WANTS TO HAVE SEX WITH A BABY. If you had the book properly you would understand the book is fantastic and has you on edge as you want to find out what happens next. In my opinion it is one of the best books in the saga.

Can't decide whether to laugh or get offended. Having read all of the books (before all the mania) I can say that this explanation isn't really accurately representing what happens in the book. At the same time, though - YES, that would make an amazing movie. I can't wait to see how they manage to fuck over Breaking Dawn. :P

A movie like this could only be brought to life combining the minds of David Lynch, David Cronenberg, Lars von Trier and maybe a few more others. Priceless. The money I paid to watch Twilight at the theater so naively will totally be worth it if this movie comes out.
Comment #123 (Posted by Jenn)
I was thinking along the lines of Tarantino, because then we'd get an extra bloody birth scene (plus add in some murder that doesn't happen in the book?) ... but Cronenburg definitely tops that idea and would do it admirably.
Breaking Dawn had me rolling in laughter, and this is officially the best article ever. If the editing team neglects any of these parts of the books I might possibly cry.
Comment #124 (Posted by Kitty)
Wow…Ok, so I AM a fan of the Twilight series but I actually still have a brain. I realize that the books aren’t exactly Steinbeck but they are entertaining. With that being said, this is the FUNNIEST fucking thing I have ever read and I think you might have just about hit the nail on the head on every point in the book. I read the books to be entertained because well obviously that is all they were going to be, not some great literary masterpiece to stand the test of time and as for the movies, I am guilty to say I see them for the eye candy plain and simple, mainly Rob Pattinson. I would love to see Breaking Dawn be made into a movie just to see how the fuck they are gonna stay true to the book and keep it within the lame ass PG-13 ratings guidelines to keep the little brats coming in droves to the movies. I can’t imagine how they are going to show Edward fucking her unconscious as you say and biting the baby out of her belly in a PG-13 movie. This could be interesting, I say fuck the brats and make it a NC-17 rated film but that’s just me.
Comment #125 (Posted by Kat)
You've basically summed up all my thoughts on this page. The ending of the book was retarded and batshit insane, but seeing this all roll out in theaters will be hilarious.
I'm thinking of ways they could bypass this scene: show shirtless Edward in soundless, in a soft blur lens: Bella in pain: headboard breaks: cut away to the ocean the next day, and they talk vaguely about it, avoiding the second scene:
Nope. Sex isn't that easy to avoid.
God.
This is gonna be great.

Part of me doesn't want to see BD the movie as BD the book was so painfully bad to read in the first place. I'm an ironic fan of Twilight - I don't think it's got any good in it, but fuck it is the funniest shit I've ever read/watched.
But BD.... I got about 4 chapters in and went to get the wine. Tip: read this insanity drunk in a weekend. Best fun on the couch with a book you'll ever have!
They *have* to do this properly. Go hard or go home - do the full fuckwittery of the book, directly to screen. No fixing up the terrible plot points or trying to make sense of it.
Cannot wait to see Twifans lose their marbles as the fact this whole shemozzle of a series is completely ridiculous is brought pounding down on them!

THe wolf guy imprinting on a child isn't wholly new ground for fiction. Apart from the pedophilia that is pretty close to what Argent the ancient immortal Native American Wolfman in Matt Wagner's Grendel series does (in the Hunter Rose version).
I'd SERIOUSLY doubt she's ever picked up a comic book, let alone Wagner's Grendel.

Ha ha ha ha ha! This article is just ONE of the many reasons I write fan fic. Yes, I am a fan fic author and yes, for the Twilight fandom. But it's because of all the shit you listed that I write it.... I want to change it all! I thought that SM had a good idea, but it was poorly and PAINFULLY executed. Vamps that sparkle- LAME! No fangs- STUPID! Big fight build up then nothing- BORING! Vampire pregnancy- WTF?! Werewolf/Man falls in love with a baby- DISGUSTING! "Author"- FUCKING IDIOT! I hope that I never see another book from her again. And it just goes to show you that if you have enough money and resources to pimp something out, people (teenage girls without boyfriends and lonely housewives) will buy it. Sad but true.

You know, I've been mulling over this crap for a few days (I mull a lot) and am thinking that this insanity COULD work thematically in the right hands. It needs a creative team that isn't afraid to really dig into it and maybe go over the top a little ... get some more talent behind and in front of the camera. Get Sam Raimi or Eli Roth into this and maybe we'd see something, not great but at least bad enough to be a cult classic. But that won't fly with the target demographic, that's the problem...

Awesome post. I'm a Twilight fan because I find the stories entertaining and offers escapism. Breaking Dawn is ridiculous and hysterical and disturbing. Everything I needed at the time I read the books. But it's agreeably literary crap. Teens love it because of the escapism, too. They fantasize about their lives being just as crazy or epic...ignoring that's it's stupid. Also, as an adult, I wouldn't minded being f-cked unconscious. Especially by a hot vampire who has a rock hard body that stays at a perfect cool temperature. It's not intellectual. It's just fun. So I love it's insanity, love that people hate it so much, and love this post.
Comment #144 (Posted by Laur)
Let me say, BD is a beautifully written book and as it many not be for all, its FANTASY meaning not real, Is it normal to have a bunch of transformers walking around earth? Is it normal to have 14 year old girl turn her head into a 360 degree motion and screw herself with a cross? This is a movie. Not real. Of course crazy plot lines and out of the norm things will happen. It sad how the hate from mostly "men" for this franchise is so relevant, I guess you are all missing your Megan Fox's ?
Also Summit will tone down any thing more than a PG 13 rating. Your favorite Mormon made sure of that before she sold any rights.
So hang on haters and people who love to bash the series and write nasty articles as this one, oh and who make fun of the franchise saying its only for teens. (and I assure you it wasn't just teens who brought in 200 mill in 8 days) Hold on! The Saga isnt going anywhere.

Stephenie Meyer answered a question on her website about the imprinting. That she meant it to be the same imprinting baby-swans have on their parents when they come out of their eggs. And that it is common in nature for connections (imprinting) between some organisms to be very strong without the connection being about sex...
Comment #147 (Posted by Eunice Amaral)
I think you lack a lot of sensitivity, and do not appear to have actually read the book. If you have, I'm sorry, you can not read the truth. It is a fanciful, impossible, but there's nothing horrible in it. You just want to take advantage of the success of the moment and be known as one who does not like. Give your opinion, but not ridicule giving a dirty version of the story. Why do not have that. You're angry at your life, change it, but do not cash in who has nothing with it. Nobody has to like it, but need not misrepresent.
Comment #148 (Posted by David)
With this publication, you are trying to bring fantasy into the real world. It's a fantasy book, and your ugly mind seems to think that the author thought this was realistic and/or possible in the real world. Obviously you don't like the movie, or even the whole series. The solution is to just not go and see it, especially if you're to see it in a theater near me. Some of the theories and the events are a bit odd, but if you actually read the book series in its entirety you might, depending upon how smart you are, (and I take it you're pretty stupid) enjoy the series and what it stands for.
You would know at least that in the third book, one of Jacob's pack friends imprints on a 2 year old. The explanations are all there.
Just get your head out of your ass. You might learn something.

geesh, if you don't like it then don't read the books, don't watch the films, ignore your twilight-blabberin girlfriends, she-friends, mothers, sisters, some he-friends. Get over it. It's FANTASY where the sky IS the LIMIT. People should be able write whatever the heck they want, no matter how weird and impossible. I read the books, I watched the films, I found them unrealistic (duh), silly, poorly written but I got entertained, I'm not a twifan but I don't go around saying fuck this fuck that. I told my boyfriend about the series and Breaking Dawn but instead of trashing it, he was actually interested. Anyway, I would really LOVE to see what they make of Breaking Dawn (if they make it), I mean a self-conscious, mind-reading, impossibly-beautiful, mature baby who had been imprinted by a wolf-shapeshifter? And oh, They are not werewolves, they shape-shift and it's just a coincidence that they shifted into wolves. I don't know what this whole twilight thing is doing to you all to make such harsh remarks. If you hate it so why make time just to trash it? I think you might even be doing it a favor by letting people know about it. I don't pity the fans for spending money on the franchise, I pity those of you who don't like it for having to endure the mania. You're like high school girls bitch-talking, the only difference is all you can do is bitch-talk about twilight, not bitch-fight against it. You're so helpless all you can do is whinge and complain. Teen girls LOVE it, so what? Get over it.

this is effing BRILLIANT.
i must admit i was one of those who got *hooked* when the book first came out but after a very short while, when the glitters finally settled, i immediately realized what a crappy piece of shit i've been reading. IMO, plot wise, it does give a new spin to the gagging mainstream books/movies/stories around - it brought back the fascination for vampires for one - however, literally wise... there's not accounting for taste to those who think stephenie mayer is an awesome writer.

As such, it is also his job, right and duty to his readers to comment on the developments that affect or impact his job. If you were a food critic, and went a buffet, and didn't like the food, what kind of defense would the chef have in saying "Well just don't eat here"?
Seriously, it's the guy's job to have an opinion, just the same as you have your right to yours. He just has a way to get paid for expressing it, and that bothers you because you obsess over a neutered sparkly vampire.

First of all AWSOME lol love how you post his. Have me laughing everytime I read this.
And as for you twi-fans or w/e you're called. get a grip of reality please. The book is cleary badly written and quite stupid. Don't get me wrong I was a fan of twilight until I read BD. Out of the books Eclipse and New Moon were the only books that had a decent plot. BD was a bunch of shit rolled into one. This book made me fall OUT of love with the books.
To comment 115. You are a complete idiot. For your information, Carlise was NOWHERE in that birth scene and Edward indeed used his teeth, fangs or w/e to cut Bella's belly open. Second, Jacob indeed imprinted on the badly named baby of Bella. Here's some advice, if you want to defened a badly written book read it over and state only facts please.
And to the othe delusioned fans who seem to love this book for only God knows, GET OVER IT!. The book was a fail and not just me but other fans see it. So stop being in denial and open your eyes that seemed to be blinded by the sparkles that edward gives off and see the light that BD was a book full of shit.

FYI: you are a little off on a lot of the information on here... but I jsut want to say just in case someone hasn't said it yet, Edward didn't knock bella out the first time they had sex, though he did get her pregnant. She became so very hungry and ate for two right after the first night. Her dreams about the baby vampire changed from destroying her family and friends to her protecting the child. Thus indicating that she was pregnant, I can't believe she didn't pick up on it as fast as I did. But good try. Oh and Rainy, I thought New Moon was stupid and over done, and Eclipse, my God, Bella pick a man already. only Breaking Dawn was interesting and better then the other two. It is my favorite. I try to ignore the media because both sides are ridiculous, but my boyfriend made me read this one. If they don't make a movie out of this one, then it shows that they just realized that their shitty cast can't act or do what must be done to make the movie half way descent. New Moon was awful, I wish that at least one person knew how to act, just one...

So basically I read this twice. The first time I laughed so hard I missed half of it. The second time filled in the blanks, and I laughed even harder. I couldn't agree with you more! Granted, some points that you bring up are a bit exaggerated from the book. Yes, sigh, I read them. Biggest waste of my time. EVER. I'd say it's got more plot holes in it than a brick of swiss cheese...but the dictionary has more plot to it than those four "books"combined. I was hoping that they'd be like the Harry Potter books - nowhere near great to start with, but with the last one being bloody fantastic. You could see Rowling's progression as a writer. She went from simple drivel to a full, dark, well written plot. She grew as a writer, Meyer didn't. If anything, she regressed. The series should have been titled "Epic Failure" and then condensed into one shitty piece of literature with a co-dependented, self-destructive heroine, a depressing, chauvinistic pig hero, and a brooding, angsty werewolf-boy/man-thing. That way we wouldn't have wasted so many trees from the rain forests making paper.

It is unfortunate that unintelligent profanity is used in this article and many of the posts regarding the article. It is also very unfortunate that the mormon faith has been associated with this book. Whether or not the author is faithful to this religion is not known; however, the religion is not based on the people who profess to follow it but its founding principles. Every faith has founding principles and doctrine that people choose to believe and follow. The inclusion of the mormon faith in this article and subsequent posts is stems merely from ones insecurity and unintelligence.

Oh and to the people defending the imprinting, leave your addresses in your next posts so I can fly to your house and punch you in the brain. Babies imprint, not the other way around.

Edward Cullen is a raging faggot. It shouldn't take a review on the fourth book for people to realize it.

BUT, hopefully your excellent review will snap people out of their gay fantasy world, where vampires are sparkling, emotional, hormone-infested bikini models that like their faces imprinted onto little girls' thongs, as opposed to being the cold, scary, and powerful badasses they should be.

This book will be made into a movie and people will go and see it because they are in love with a sparkling vampire... And they are allowed to! (even though it's fictional..) To the people who drag the ones who love this down; Don't bother! They are not gonna change their minds! They love this shit! I love this shit. But that doesn't mean I'm a fucking idiot either! I also read J.D. Salinger, Khaled Hosseini, Richard Yates books! I've also read fucking Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts! And I'm 16 years old!

If this were any other property I doubt the would be as great. If the whole of the fanaticism that exists around Twilight were surrounding another property, say Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency, the detractors wouldn't be quite as legion. Hell, you'd probably find more supporters among the fanboys (Team Matekoni!). But these rather poorly written, Vampire mythos eviscerating, abuse promoting books have enraptured a large portion of femaledom, somehow someway. It's not so much hate as the utter bafflement of how this thing became so popular.

To the twilight fans out there ripping on the author - it is entirely your right to go see the film and like it, and it is entirely our right to rip it apart for the piece of horseshit it is.

Devin, this is exactly what I said right after reading Breaking Dawn (and by reading I mean reading a chapter by chapter summary written by someone else who was reading the book - I wanted to skip Meyer's awful writing and 20,000,000,000 adjectives). It absolutely MUST be made into a movie and be done by someone willing. [Sam Raimi came to mind instantly, of course.] Anyway, it just HAS to be done. I'd love to get the B-movie cult classic movie I expected in the first place, because I didn't think any director/screenwriter would take Twilight seriously and put the books on film as is. Alas... they did.
Comment #185 (Posted by Igor the Vigorous)
Commenter #180, that would be fine, if the fans weren't attacking people for disagreeing with them. People have had their feet broken, retinas scratched, and more for not liking Twilight. We're entitled to our own opinion, too. And by the way- if you love this shit, the only reason I'd consider you an idiot would be that you think reading books about an extremely emotionally abusive elf (I really do think he's closer to an elf than a vampire in the fantasy genre) with "marble hard body pressed hard against me" and little gems like that repeated over and over for no good reason or character development (except perhaps for Jacob, and even he is pretty sickly as a 3-dimensional character). I'd say you have bad taste and tell you to go read Terry Pratchett. Now THAT is literary genius.

Renesme makes me wretch every time I hear it.
And it has to be two movies, with the birth scene as the climax of the first. It'll be insane.

About the Mormon topic... The man does have a point. These are the same people that believe Jesus will float/walk/slide down a spiral in INDEPENDENCE MISSOURI(?!?) for his second coming..

Well, despite your "amazing interpretation" of a less-than-stellar-book-soon-to-be-either-a-less-than-stellar-or-mindblowing-movie, it is actually your epiphanic revelations about the secret authors of the book which earn this foul-mouthed masterpiece a nice thumb-up-your-bum; the Mormons have gathered together with Stephanie Myers as penman and conspired to write a series of fantasy novels thereby weaving their beliefs into millions of adoring, hypnotized fans! Brilliant.
And #189, please elaborate! It seems you have a wealth of amusing ignorance that must be shared!
Comment #191 (Posted by an unknown user)
Oh how I wish it was total ignorance that brought me this crazy idea! In fact it comes from attending church (thanks to my husband) for the past 5 years at the RLDS headquarters, and being told time and time again that this was Jesus' "chosen place" for his imminent return.

Comment #192 (Posted by #190)
Wish granted. The RLDS has not existed by such a name since circa 2001; I believe it is now called Community of Christ. Regardless of that petty fact, alas this is not the "Mormonism" of our beloved Stephanie Meyer ;) Pray tell, what is this, if not ignorance? She is an LDS, and since she and "her Mormons" apparently co-authored the Twilight series according to the garrulous diarrhea-discourse of Mr. Devin the divine, I assumed that the term in this context was aligned with her beliefs. The RLDS was an offshoot of the LDS church, but is an entirely different church now :)
Comment #193 (Posted by Ex-Mormon)
@191 RLDS uses the book of Mormon but they're a separate organisation from the LDS which Meyer is a member of and don't actually believe Jesus is coming to Independence Missouri, though they do think Jesus was Quetzalcoatl.
Comment #194 (Posted by Spike)
Um, I agree that the books are horrific trash (though thankfully I only ever read the first one), but very few people commenting here, including the original blogger, seem to know enough about Mormonism to say anything about it, let alone excoriate it. Not that ignorance ever stopped anyone from doing anything in the blogosphere, but I'm all for higher standards.
And no, I'm not Mormon. Just into accuracy and stuff.

I imagine if the internet had been around in the early 1980s, this article would've read something like this:
"So Darth Vader is Luke's father?! And Princess Leia kissed Luke -- twice -- but she's his sister? And she's "always known"???? And the Empire gets destroyed by a bunch of teddy bears?! Bwhahah. That's the stupidest thing I've ever read. George Lucas is an idiot. He must be on drugs." Don't get me wrong, I love Star Wars, but the stupidity of Breaking Dawn and the willingness of fangirls to accept it is no different from the stupidity of ROTJ and fanboys willing to accept it. The only difference is that the internet wasn't around in the 80s to discuss it.

Agreed; it'll most likely be two films, because where this devils advocate stops is only half of the book.

It was really fucking entertaining though; as a fan who reads it knowing it's a pile of crap, but just a guilty pleasure i agree the film will be *special*... in the retard sense.

The way imprinting works is tied into having as many strong werecubs as possible. I think that's why 2/3 of the imprinting happens with infants- so the werewolf can groom the child towards celestial marriage. This might be cute: http://aleina-chan.deviantart.com/art/Let-s-play-quot-House-quot-108725781 but the guys have alterior NAMGLA motives.
That said, I'd love to see Gilliam or Miike take this... or even a sequel to the comic book Preacher. It totally plays like something Garth Ennis would write.

Let me get this straight: Swooning and kissing is great, sex is dangerous and painful, men feel guilty and resentful of you afterwards even if you liked it, you get pregnant immediately, your baby tries its damnedest to kill you and then an adult "imprints" on it-- and that's OK?
Excuse me, but does anyone else realize that the authoress' views on love, sex, and family are quite possibly the most fucked-up since L.Ron Hubbard's?
(Remember -- according to Dianetics, in relationships and marriage, rape, beatings, and child abuse are all NORMAL!)

imprint on = in love with = wants to have sex with?
Not necessarily. You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...oh, er, sorry, wrong song. But I am one of those silly women who thinks that just maybe love isn't always about sex and that Freud had "issues".
I'm gonna give Steph the benefit of the doubt and suppose that the werewolf doesn't WANT the baby sexually, but merely imprints on her, meaning simply that he loves her devotedly.
As for the rest of it. YUCK.

Just ignore them, and realize that's what happens when someone shines the light on the vomit-filled tripe that is Twilight/Breaking Dawn.
Comment #222 (Posted by viola)
No no. Maybe I'm off base here, but I think the point is that Jacob doesn't imprint on the baby. The whole time he thinks he's in love with Bella, he's actually in love with an egg. In her ovary.
I think that's even better.
Comment #223 (Posted by Shell)
Totally agree with you on this.
I admit to enjoying the books, I love making fun of the movies and even go opening night. It's the series you can't help but love to hate.
I've always said there is no way they can make that god awful book into a movie, at least without completely changing the story from something super fucking creepy and weird to something watchable, at least the others are bad too so... It could be done I guess, but the name, makes me want to gouge out my eyes.
My sister works for a government agency and sees new mom's and babies and she's come across one Renesmee already, sad sad world that such a horrible name is taken as something to name a live human with, but who knows, the parents might be retarded right?
what's the point of calling the reviewer names in comments of a review, we are entitled to our opinion and weather you agree or not quit being an idiot and letting the whole world know it.

Comment #225 (Posted by Cindy)
Being a Twilight Fan, not one of the insane ones that thinks Breaking Dawn was a masterpiece, but a fan none the less. Personally, I don't know if I could stomach watching Breaking Dawn on the big screen. It is just way out there in my opinion. The first three books were really fun and enjoyable. I was really excited for Breaking Dawn and when I found out that Bella was pregnant I had to put down the book just to take that in for a second. I was under the impression that Stephanie Meyer had lost her mind or I bought the wrong book. Anyway, even as a Twilight fan I doubt I would spend the money to go see one let alone two movies. I will just wait until they come out on video and rent it.
Comment #226 (Posted by JM)
The 4th movie will have to keep all the events in the book, or else fans will get mad. But if it translated them to screen in such a way that got an R-rating, instead of a pussy PG-13, I would FUCKING JIZZ MY PANTS!! "Breaking Dawn" is already the insanest shit ever to appear in a teen novel. If it made it to the big screen in unbroken form, I would die happy.
Comment #227 (Posted by Brandon)
As if all of that stuff wasn't enough, that ending was just amazing. If this gets made into a movie, this will make the St. Elsewhere ending look like the greatest ending ever! She spent half of the book building up to a big fight, and then everyone just said "OK, we're cool. See you guys later." When Stephen King says you can't write, you know you have a problem.

Incredible. I thought the first two films were bad examples to tweens with the totally vacuous and ambition-less Bella allowing her life to be solely defined by an alpha male 90 years her senior, simultaneously glamorising depression and suicide.
Now we can add sexual and physical abuse, unwanted teen pregnancy and abortion, oral Caesarean section and baby grooming to the list.

LDS people, Google around for the various analyses of Meyers' books to discover what everyone else thinks are pretty obvious links to your religion. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were Christians and you can see it in their work, so it's not a judgment necessarily. Though Meyers DOES take some of the worst horseshit from that religion... (or twists the religion, however you want to put it). To the calls of sexism, you're not wrong. But that doesn't excuse these poorly-written books featuring melodramatic tween moping and the absolute most dunder-headed genre ignorance of any writer ever. SyFy writers of Anaconda vs MANTIS vs Sharkosaurus are more talented and genre-aware than this hack. Buffy the Vampire Slayer did a VASTLY superior job with the whole "undead teen lust" thing and never made such an ass of itself as Meyers and her "vampires".
Comment #235 (Posted by an unknown user)
You're an idiot. Please go attempt to write a series of books that you think can compete with Stephenie Meyer's novels.
You're quite the aspiring movie/book critic, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's your forte.
Comment #236 (Posted by Dude Love)
You know, proper authors spend at least three years to write a single book. Meyers spent three months.
I'm studying at university to become an author myself. I'll have dragons, humans, humanoid creatures and vampires in my story...I wont give the plot away to avoid anyone stealing my ideas, but I'm sure you'll like it. I even have a letter from Christopher Paolini, the author of the Eragon series, who gave me four pages of helpfull information and his own personal blessings for my novels to become a success.
Dont worry everyone, I'll help repair the damage done by meyers...The vampires in my stories WONT sparkle in sunlight at all...Instead, they'll either become severely weakened and their skin burns black, or they'll just burst into flames and die; Their leader however, who's a demi-god and is a extremely brutal dictator who loves torturing people so much that he weeps with joy at their agony, is immune to sunlight, and he also cant be killed at all unless he suicides with his own weapon.
Give me three years...I'll get my novels published and hopefully help fix this problem.

Comment #239 (Posted by Lesley)
On behalf of Mormons everywhere who have good taste in literature, I can assure you that the fact that Meyers is a crazy, god-awful writer is not due to her being Mormon. Orson Scott Card is Mormon as well, if you would like an example of a member of the LDS church who has made a positive impression on literature and proves that we are not "brainwashed" or "crazy." As much as I hate Twilight, I hate just as much that sites like yours are enforcing negative stereotypes to people who are too stupid to research religions for themselves.

First of all, you're completely taking EVERYTHING out of the context that the author intended, but you already know that. It's called journalism, I get it. So, second of all, do you REALLY think Stephenie Meyer is going to let Breaking Dawn be filmed in such a way that ANY of what you mentioned will play out the way your cynical, perverted mind thinks/hopes it will? She didn't even go into ANY sort of graphic details in the BOOK; what makes you think she'll let ANY director take "creative license" and insert all the steamy, juicy details himself? I've read the series and have taken a neutral position on it, but what you're REALLY talking about here is twisting the morals of the author, and that's unfair because, as I said, you've taken EVERYTHING out of context of how she intended it to be.

Well, if you would've read the rest of the books, it explains the whole imprinting thing. So, how about you do that before you make judgments on something you don't know about.

Whatever happened to writing with substance?

Sure it's written for 13 year old girls (Who apparently believe the world will)
What happened to evoking feeling with words, to developing characters?
When the most vivid descriptions are about a vampire character (an idiotic thing in itself, since vampires are, after all, undead) you know you have a problem.

#250 - In the books, it is explained that imprinting means that he will be whatever she needs him to be. Brother, father, friend... but when she comes of age, he'll be there too. and she does project her thoughts into other peoples minds.

Sooo frustrating.)
So hell yeah, I want that movie. But please hide the boys' face, they're NOT handsome.
Comment #262 (Posted by mrgray)
Oh man, the imprinting defenders... Look, regardless of what Meyers meant when she used the term, clearly there is an implication, intentional or not, that Jacob will eventually become the girl's lover. Or will present himself as an option regardless of what she chooses. The fact that this is "misinterpreted" says a lot more about Meyers' inability to communicate an idea than it does about everyone else's inability to comprehend. And it's also indicative of Meyers' inability to use terminology properly, since (as has been pointed out) "imprinting" is almost the opposite of how Meyers uses it. You know, like how she misuses "vampire", and "romantic", and "intelligent, independent young woman".

Seriously, dude, this is the most epic way of putting that whole movie - ever! Though, I stand by the idea that even teh whole let's-get-ready-to-fight-the-Volturi bit would be epic win to film too. First time you see a real-life movie ripping off ANIME! Seriously, all those element-moving vampires? Not even close to the regular superhero shizz. More like that Naruto series my bro loves to force me to watch with him. Two words regarding Stephanie Meyer: God-modding!
Oh, and on a 'side', the entire basic plot is a rip-off of ROSWELL! GEESH! Only reason it's not noticeable is coz her audience is too young to know what Roswell is. Go figure. Some sources say she DREAMED about Twilight, then wrote it. More like she went on a Rosswell marathon and she's leeching off the ideas from there. Crazy unoriginal fop!

The shocking thing about the birth scene isn't the blood and gore. The shocking thing is that Stephanie Meyer is such a bad writer, that she takes a scene in which a vampire chews a baby from its mother's womb, and makes it BORING.
When someone posted the scene, I literally had to read it twice to catch the literally two or three sentences where it happened. The author, narrator (Jacob the werepedophile, and all the characters forget immediately after it happens.
"And then he chewed the baby out of her newly semi-indestructable womb. Good thinking, Edward. Aww, wookit da widdle baby.
Shwing."

I think certain story elements need to be changed to push this film over the top, such as put in a massive fight scene directed by Micheal bay complete with massive random exsplosions.
Then there needs to be a subplot or few scenes explaining that the reason Edward was able to wait for Bella was because he was boinking Jacob. Then this will be the Perfect movie, the one movie i would stand in line from 6am to 12pm to see.

Comment #281 (Posted by Pheonix)
Okay. I understand, and believe me, I have had this argument with people since the books became big. One gets curious, so you (I) had to read them. So before I go into my theories, I first would like to state, I am 24 and yes, I have read all four books and have seen both movies. Am I a Twilight fanatic? Absolutely not. I could live without it all. So Breaking Dawn. Definitely not for the younger "pre-teenie bopper Edward-oh-my-god-he's-so-hot" fans at all. But my query lies with the director, not with the plot. 1) Yes, we all KNOW that Bella and Edward get it on and then there are so many things in between. In the book, all of their wild nights are simply implied, no gory details. So I am sure that any good director can make this PG-13. 2)The pregnancy - Yes, it sux that the baby is constantly breaking Bella's bones but most kids have seen their mom or a woman in their family or someone else pregnant. It's no secret that a big baby in that small amount of space is going to try and move with discomfort to the mom. 3) The birth - What pre-teen/teenager hasn't seen an action movie with lots of guts and gore. Kids are so desensitized these days to that stuff that if they down played it and didn't over dramatize the scene, I don't see where that would be a problem. I think that those are the biggest issues with the movie to me and those are my takes on the issues.
Comment #282 (Posted by Clown Six Actual)
I have not seen any of these movies, and I cannot think of a force (other than tons of cash) that will make me do so. However, based on what I've heard of the previous movies, I'm sorely disappointed "Breaking Dawn" doesn't refer to a nuclear detonation ridding the world of these so-called "vampires" and "werewolves".
Great blog though.

It's really sad that people have to talk so much shit online.
Just don't get it,you obviously don't like or want anything to do with the series, so shut the fuck up and talk about something you want to see. FFS!

Damnit, now I will actually have to finish reading the series. I've read the first couple so I could explain to people just what is wrong with her work (ie most of it) and this is just the icing on the cake, why are some of the best selling authors of vampire fiction bug fucking nuts?
Oh and the imprinting thing even split between romantic claptrap and creepy assed shit that makes you wonder about her personal life...
Comment #287 (Posted by leann)
you got it mostly right. i guess if you didnt like the saga (ie if your a man :P) you would see jacob fallin in love with a baby. but really, hes just imprinting. its only affection at this stage. the series had to end eventually, so meyer made everyone happy- to a point. ^-^

Comment #299 (Posted by Liz)
I think that you need to separate religion and fiction first of all. The fact that Stephanie Meyers is from Utah doesn't automatically make her a Mormon. I don't believe that should even be a part of your unintelligent, uncreative and biased ranting of what you call bad literature. If you actually read the entire saga you would realized exactly what imprinting in the saga is. It is more than just a "sexual/love interest". It is about finding someone with someone on a connection that the "typical male" in the 21st century isnt capable of having. The entire saga is a FICTIONAL story. That is the beauty of fiction... it doesnt have to be realistic, because if that is the case then series like Harry Potter, Eragon, and Lord of the Rings would not be as big as they are. The glory of fiction is that it doesnt have to be logical, believable or have a pinch of reality because it is something to distract the mind from the fucked up world we live in.
For all the people who are bashing women on this site all because we like reading about a love/lover that doesnt exist, or "lame" sagas, last time I check that is what you have porn for is to indulge your idiotic fantasies so leave us to ours!

Not sure how not reading a science fiction book makes her an idiot. The books are based on works by Shakespeare, Austen, and Bronte. Next to them Frank Herbert is an idiot, too.
Not to say that these lousy books or their author are any good, but there's plenty to find fault with without speculating about reading some cult classic.

i can't believe i was a fan of this seiries.... teeth c-sections and violent fucking till the girl is unconcious... and werewolf pedophelia..... that serves a big WTF!! and "renesmee"?!?!?! that's just child abuse. However i wouldn't mind being fucked until i was unconcious with the headbordes and pillows being ripped. that's the only good part in the ENTIRE damn novel. ugh. and also WHO THE HELL THOUGHT ROBERT PATTINSON WOULD MAKE A GOOD VAMPIRE?!?! and also VAMPIRES. DO. NOT. FUCKIN. SPARKLE. or have live sperm for that matter so being fucked by a vampire means you will not get pregnant. but, since the vampire is a dead guy, you are now a necrophiliac. WAY TO GO! SO! there is: wherewolf pedophelia, violent fucking, tooth C-section, demon seed baby who's trying to kill her mom, sparkling fangless vampires (so doesn't go together), and necrophelia. so i have a question: Did stephanie myer have a bad trip before writing this saga?

Comment #305 (Posted by Achwell Foley)
Of all the feeble defenses offered by the Twilight die-hards, my absolute favorite is the "well you just haven't read the books, that's why you don't get it, read the books or STFU!" tactic. Mmmm, uh-uh. Not this time. That argument might work if we were talking about Watchmen or LOTR, perhaps. One could make a reasonable argument that the movies were not as good as the books, and that a thorough understanding of all the complicated backstories can only be gleaned by reading the original texts. That's not going to work with Twilight. The movies are dreck, but they're actually better than the books. You ladies are not going to win the argument by pointing us in the direction of the books. The movies are below-average, but at least they appear to have been made by professional moviemakers. The books read as if they were written by a 12-year old special needs child. They are some of the worst things I have EVER read.
Comment #306 (Posted by Slaplapdog)
Love your rant, it was fun, and now I feel I need not read the Wiki.Read all of the damn comments-whew. Funny, gave me some insight on...ok , they were just funny.
That being said:
Mormons rock!Not only does their religion give you a chance to be saved after death, they are adaptable(Brown people are still cursed , but they can now be redeemed! Plural marriage is no longer desired by God!), and they have a hell for whoremongers, that is pretty much like life on earth!
Whoremongers! that means pimps people! Not only are thier ideas cool, they are no more crazy than any other religions, they just suffer from a lack of centuries to put the sheen of legitimacy on them.
Which brings me to Twilight. Look, what one likes isnt necessarily good and what is good isnt necessarily enjoyable. Sure its a trashy romance novel with softcore fantasy elements-thank god! I can remember when most chicks took their fluffy soft porn strait, no fantasy thank you. No more!Gives me some thing in common with them, and lets their demons out-where the rest of us can see them...get my drift? Yes women are perv too. Wish I had know that when I was 15!
These vamps are only slightly more poofta than Anne Rice's. I prefer a Near Dark style vampire, but even they dont match the inhuman nature of the original myths. As for the semi-necro-pediphilia, look near the ending of Steven Kings "It", which features a prepubescent orgy/gang bang-that was of course fully justified by the story...right?
Look Tolkien has been accused of being racist(maybe), tedious(true) and homo-erotic(the best best examples of this never made the movies-thank god/mores the pity).
Dickens was paid by the word and it shows.The best most biting satires have been left out of most editions of Gulliver's Travels, and yes, it took Episode one for me to realize that there are only two Star Wars movies,period.Princess Leia in a golden bikini cannot move me on this!
Anything man makes is flawed, but the if you love a thing , you should be able to love it even when the warts are pointed out to you.Nothing is cheesier than Dr. Who, but just try to get a Whovians goat by mocking the plots or sets or acting or continuity-they will beat you to the punch and follow it up with a haymaker-because they love it they know more about the flaws than you do!
So yes, its porn for chicks , and it good porn as long as it gets someone off. Of course, being porn , it is only right that it be vilified by somebody. As it so happens it vilified by a lot of somebodies, which should only add to its potency and allure.
Now my own wife wont watch/read it-she already knows that the buff hyper-masculine Were loses out to the effete, ultra repressed sparkly Vampire- not a good outcome for the woman who wont watch ' True Blood because its not bloody or violent enough...Me I, Ive had fans tell me that the way the girl stands around with her mouth open is indicative of desire( I could see this in another context-but lets not go there), a but frankly, she is goofy looking, a teen, and she lacks any spark whatsoever. I suppose if I could smell her I would get that she is like bacon for vampires- but i cant smell her , so I dont care.
What I can do is watch bosoms heave and tongues wet lips as full grown women get het up over teenage boys. That I can enjoy.
And I can wonder. How can i get in on this? Im to old to resent the success of other who seeming dont deserve it. No , I want to learn from them, I want to learn how to cash in on my own half baked fantasies.I have been dreaming up adolescent power fantasies since I was a wee lad , and it would be great if I could cash in all that mental masturbation?
Harry Potter
Twilight
Eragon
Are all derivative, all goofy and full of holes, and all fantastically successful. Sign me up for that writing class, I could always try to write well as a hobby, a side line to making mass cash!
Any way my kid is crying and its late . Ill be watching this site for ideas for my great tween novel, and more great criticism.

Man oh man. I read the series. Once. I had to know what everyone was talking about. I (begrudgingly) admit to enjoying some of it. But, I will agree that the last book is one "WTF" moment after another. There is not a chance the contents of the last book will see a screen the way they are currently detailed. S&M, babies trying to break out of bellies like in ALIENS, abortion advocacy, pedophilia, character name choices. It's all too much.

Comment #310 (Posted by Daymond)
I have never faulted anyone for having their opinion on the series. If you read it and don't like it, then so be it.
What I fault many of you for is the wild, crazy, bullshit you accuse the book and Steph of. I know Steph. She is neither a moron or crazy. In fact she's quite nice, but the name calling and accusations are ignorant. I've seen just some terrible insults and lies throughout this series of comments from people wh feel the need to hop on the hate train. It is ok not to be an idiot and not tear into someone else's personality, family, ethics etc just because everyone else is. Damn, and some of you call the readers of Twilight sheep.
As for Breaking Dawn itself there is no pedophelia, no rape, or any of the other things you are accusing it of. Is it crazy? Sure, no doubt. But no more crazy than many other books, comic books, movies etc. I mean it deals with vampires and werewolves for crap's sake! So of course it weird! That's the nature of the genre. But to take it out of context like many of you have, to bash it based on other crazy opinions when you haven't even tried to read it, and to personally bash and attack the author; well that is the height of stupidity.
I just don't understand why you people feel the need to do this? I may be getting a little angry because I'm defending a friend, but would you like if someone went after you or your loved ones like this? Even if you didn't like a story or a piece of art, movie, etc, that a child of yours or friend or what have you wrote, would you attack and insult them like this? Unless someone is truly doing evil, you all should just fucking relax.

It shouldn’t surprise me that most of the people that commented on this idiot’s article were men; men that I am sure have not picked up a book in years unless it was to read through Playboy articles. That’s right; none of you have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. Do I have to remind you it is a book (not real) NON FICTION! It is Stephenie Meyer’s God given right to write what ever the hell she wants to write about. It seems to me that most of you are jealous about her success, come on isn’t that what this is about? If any of you actually read the books then you would know that they were not written to be interpreted as this fucking psycho so morbidly describes! It’s pathetic really that you treat someone with insolence who is obviously more talented than you. She didn’t have to feed off someone else’s success and write negative garb to gain her audience, but you sure did. It’s nauseating that you can take a clean and tasteful novel and poison it with your dysfunctional ideas. The only part of your asinine article that I liked was the fact that you said you would stop going to movies….perfect do us all a favor. Better yet, maybe you should stop paying attention to the so called “Mormon fantasy” you are leaching off of and start writing about real “pedophiles” and “fabulous idiots” you so closely relate to.

I love the twilight series and I love jacob... but... I totally agree with this. Breaking Dawn is such a messed up book, so nuts. I have no idea how they are going to make this into a movie. As a fan of the books, I was dissappointed with the way things turned out. I mean, seriously? I heard someone say, Breaking Dawn is going to happen and it's going to be rated PG 13... I don't know, I think it could be rated R for all the crazy shit that happens in it. seriously. messed up. when you read the book, you understand the process of imprinting a lot better, but in a movie, jacob is just going to look like a pedophile. and kristen stewert, who doesn't know HOW to express emotion, will be even more of a suckfest considering this is the most nutsy situation bella has ever been in.

"metric fuckload of money" now there's a nice turn of phrase
This is priceless! "Let's go over that again: Edward fucks Bella into unconsciousness. This alone should have you running to Fandango to pre-order your tickets, but it only gets better."
PG-13 porn! FTW!
"In a moment that demands to be shown on the silver screen, Edward gives Bella an emergency C-section with his fucking teeth. " They better shows this. 'srsly. The story is just not complete without this complete fail! moment.
"Then comes the most astonishing turn of events in 21st century literature, and possibly in the entire history of awful fiction aimed at tweens....Romance is not dead, it's just being abused by insane Mormon writers....Hell, once I've seen a werewolf fall in love with a baby I may quit movie watching - I will have seen the ultimate culmination of a century of cinema."

In response to Comment #312-
I think it's delightfully ironic that a Twilight fan is picking on other people's reading habits. A fan of the worst popular fiction franchise of the past 20 years is pulling attitude and acting like WE are the ones with no taste. You don't usually see that level of smugness from someone unless they just read some Norman Mailer. Lady, you are a fan of a very poorly-written franchise. That is all. The characters are unoriginal and wooden. The heroine is a fatuous moron with no taste in men. The conflicts are childish. The writing style is worse than amateurish. To call it "sophomoric" would be a compliment.
You can't pull rank when your idea of good literature is the Twilight series.
No one is claiming that Ms. Meyer doesn't have the right to write this drivel. She has every right to write it, and make money off of it, and have simpering fangirls make her rich. More power to her. We, on the other hand, have the right to think it's a load of steaming shite.
And yes, I have read actual books. I have even read this trainwreck of a series. I do this weird thing where I like to actualy experience something before making fun of it. Sometimes it's rewarding. In the case of the Twilight series, it's torturous.

*tears of laughter*
I am a Twilight fan. A -big- Twilight fan. I know the series is cheesy. I know Bella's a holier than thou Mary Sue. I know Edward can be a condescending tool. But I like the series for its escapism, for that totally cheesy fantasy of the plain girl that the hot, rich guy falls in love with and plus - vampires. Bonus!
BUT...I loathed Breaking Dawn with a passion. There's plot holes and then there are plot canyons. The magical, Keats reading toddler. The werewolf/kiddie love (Jacob was the SECOND character to 'imprint' with a baby. YECH.) The vampire teeth C-section. Not to mention that Breaking Dawn happened to undo just about every storyline from the other three books.
The movie would be good for the laughs but gawd, I am going to have to wear a paper bag to the theater. It'll be one thing to go with my girlfriends and laugh ourselves sick for two hours, but I am just imagining the look on my husband's face if I force him to sit through this. I will never be able to look him in the eye again.

I am not LDS however I believe that unless you are 100% submerged into a religion, and decide it is not for you, then you can judge. But for you to make comments about a religion you apparently no nothing about is infallible and you have lost about 5 readers that I know of that have read this blog.

Wow...they get married before having sex...so what meyers is saying is it's ok to idolize something that was cursed by God but you still have to get married before you fuck it. Way to cater to christian adaptation on marriage

Okay--I risk the wrath to say--HELLO--It is a fictional series of books. What are you so worked up over. Harry Potter was just as far fetched. Stephen King has had some insane story concepts. They are books for individuals reding pleasure. If you didn't like them--why did you read them? Why are you making such a stink of it? Are you sorry you didn't come up with some cockamamey idea yourself to make millions? You can put her down all you like, but Stephanie is sitting pretty in the millions while you bitch about her.
Yes--this stuff is out there. But remember that it is in the FICTION section. Remember that it is just a freaking book. Take a chill pill.
Thanks

The comments by the Twi-tards make this article even funnier!
Oh, the righteous indignation (I'm looking at YOU, Comments 347 and 144)! The false equivalency defense (I'm looking at YOU, Comment 112)! The smug condescension (I'm looking at YOU, Comments 115, 117, and 340)! The "You-Clearly-Don't-Know-What-You're-Talking-About" accusations (looking at YOU, Comment 329 and more)! The ad hominem attacks (I'm looking at YOU, Comments 126 and 132)! The "You-Haven't-Made-A-Fortune-Publishing-A-Steaming-Pile-Of-Shit-So-You-Suck" posts (Comment #235)! The How Dare You Curse on the Internet (Comment #168)! The people who say "If you don't like it, don't see it" and completely ignore the fact that the writer is a film critic (too many comments to list, but you know who you are, you idiots)! The "You Just Don't Understand Mormonism" posts (Comment #239 and more)! And, of course, the completely unwitty attempts at sarcasm (I'm looking at the "genius" behind comment 190)!
And the best part? The BEST part of it all? In ten years (arguably less), these very same fans will be embarrassed that they ever liked this series. In ten years, when today's tween/teen Twilight fan is in her mid-20s, she'll reach for her old copy of Twilight in a fit of nostalgia, will open the book and grow dizzy as her stomach tightens in a wave of nausea, and ask herself, "WHAT IN NAME OF ALL THAT'S HOLY WAS I THINKING?! DID I SPEND MY TEEN YEARS ON METH?!"
Yes, folks, in ten years, it will be IMPOSSIBLE to find a fan of the Twilight Saga. It'll be just like the Spice Girls--they sold 65 million albums worldwide, but yet you can't find anyone who will admit to buying them.
And when that day comes, this article will still be on the 'Net, archived in the Wayback Machine or copied onto thousands of LJs and websites, so that anyone who looks up "Twilight Saga" on a search engine will find it. And former fans coming across it will nod and say, "Yeah, it was pretty bad, wasn't it? Oh well, I was young and stupid."

Twilight supporters want to know why we took the time to read the books and comment about them if we don't like them so much. Using that logic, why'd they take the time to read this article and comment on that?
It's okay to have different opinions about things. It's not like there's some law saying you can't make negative comments or talk about things you don't like.
That being said...the twilight saga is fucking terrible.
Gotta love a series that supports obsessive high school relationships and lying to your family to be with a vampire, all the while leading your best friend on.
And please, don't compare HP or LOTR to twilight.

This is one of the funniest thing I've ever read. Man you need to write a book. I'd buy that lol. Anyway, I saw Twilight 2 months ago, just to see what the hoopla and I was entertained. It could have been better, but most movies could be better. I saw New Moon 2 weeks ago. The movies are entertaining ( perhaps, I'm just easily amused). I'd not looking for life issues to be solved by watching them. It's just fantasy. Contrary to belief teenage girls are not the only ones to see the movies. The statistics are 50% under 21 years of age and 50% over 21. When I saw new moon, there was a variety of people there. Men and women in the 40-60 age group as well as groups of young men and young women. Yeah there were the teens with their parents too. I'm still dying over how you described the books. I haven't read them and don't intend to either. However, I do think the movies left out some of the more corny stuff of the books, particularly some of the dialogue (and I'm grateful for that), from what I have read on-line. I'm cringing thinking of Bella having that baby, it'll be grosser than Alien. ewwwwwwww lol. You KNOW they will make it more palatable for the teens. They can't make this an R rated movie. lol @ c-section by Vampire. muhahahahahahahaaaaaaa!

#93, you're completely right. I third Raimi, but I second a Tarantino collab, just 'cause he's fucking epic. Raimi and Tarantino should totally collaborate on this.
Having read all the published books before the big fad came along, I've been thinking for awhile now that a Breaking Dawn movie would be great, because the book itself is quite descriptive. The opening scene, I can imagine would actually be pretty cool (if it was someone other than Kristen Stewart)
Now, I don't particularly like Twilight, I hate the movie (haven't seen New Moon, am waiting 'til it comes out on DVD so I only waste $5), but the books are great if you want a bit of light reading, maybe something to keep your mind busy while you take a crap or wait at the doctor's office.
Devin, this article (errors and generalisations and all) is full of epic-sauce win.

I actually like the Twilight series, but I completely agree that the 4th book would make one of the most awkward, horrible films if they attempted to make it.

However, as a Mormon I don't see what that has to do with anything. Just because the author is Mormon, doesn't mean the religion has one iota to do with a horrible fiction novel. Whatever story she made up in her head has nothing to do with the religion. Please be respectful of that.

Hey Industry Killer,
Although I'll agree that some of the stuff from Breaking Dawn as described here does sound ridiculous, Twilight is a great movie in many respects and Catherine Hardwicke did amazing work. But what I'm really trying to figure out is why lefty film snobs like you think it makes you sound smart to throw shit at Sarah Palin.
It's like that has somehow become a valid substitute for actually stringing some words together to make a point, just throw out the Sarah Palin dig and it's all good. And although for me personally, all organized religion deserves some criticism, why is it that the author of the article feels so free to ridicule the Mormom religion? That's another thing that makes me laugh about lefty film snobs, always ready to take shots at Mormons and Christians, but NEVER EVER big enough balls to attack Islam, oh no, we can't go there. I've never seen so much stupidity being offered as intelligence than in these kinds of forums, typically run and over-run by left wing intellectual wannabees.

Ok so people hate the books and movies. By no means am I trying to be rude to the people who don't agree with or dislike the books and/or movies, but ignorance and close mindedness are sure signs of people who cannot see the remarkable literary skills of Stephanie Meyers. She was an amatuer writer who, overnight, became one of the most beloved and admired writers of our time. Also, there is a lot of people refering to her writing as Mormon bull****, nonsense, blasphemy, etc; I think it's pretty logical to assume that this is just religious judgement coming into play. True Christians would know that it is a sin to judge, only God or Jesus Christ are perfect. There are many different fantasy/sci-fi books and movies that explore things beyond most peoples imaginations. Are they are scrutinized in the same manner? The authors/writers of these books and movies have phenomenal imaginations. The haters just do not understand the value of a vivid imagination. Please, stop being hipocrits and find something better to do with your time.

Comment #380 (Posted by anthonyd)
Okay, so I'm just going to come out and say that I have read all four of the books, and seen both of the movies. While the book Twilight was tolerable, as the series went on the actual literature and writing just got shittier and shittier. And the story line just constantly put me in a stupor and thinking, "What the fuck is this lady on? How do people like these?" And the movies, aren't good at all. I fell asleep almost twice in New Moon, and Twilight blew. I don't put the blame on the directors or actors, you just can't do much with a horrible piece of literature. And #378, Stephanie Meyer has absolutely no literary talent. I'm an aspiring writer, and her style and how she attempts to pull it off is absolute crap. The only reason the books hit big is because little tween girls started getting wet over Edward and word spread. And sure, while Devin didn't get every detail he mentioned right, it was damn close enough. Breaking Dawn was horrible, I even actually threw the book a couple times. But Devin, fucking brilliant article. I was laughing like hell and have already sent it to most of my friends. I'd be completely happy to spend ten dollars to go see that shit.
Comment #381 (Posted by Judges)
Hmm a bit racist here huh Devin? Not like you care. Mormon, Jewish, Chirstian whatever, it does not matter. All groups are capable of writing good OR bad books and no group should be discriminated against. But whatever if you want to be the Howard Stern of the writing critique then go right ahead. But I am afraid you made some errors in your writing. 1st, ONLY EDWARD can here Renesme in the womb. I repeat ONLY EDWARD. B, Edward does NOT knock Bella unconsious during sex. And 3, the only reason Edward goes snorkeling is for Bella. Anyways, it was a pretty good review. Just watch your accuracy and try not to twist things up- like so many critics do, *sighs* what a shame.

Okay, I'm Morman and the stuff you're saying is offending! I don't even like Twistupid, it is just not appealing. Seriously it's meant for like tweens and teens, I'm eleven. Not good stuff there. Also, if Stephanie Meyer was cathlioc or something, you would still judge cathliocs or whatever other religion, because of her. To get to my point, please don't judge Mormans because of her, she is ONE person. Also Breaking Dawn is not Morman approved in mine and many other of my friends opinions.

The books are mind candy. Disengage brain, enjoy the ride, don't take any life lessons from them. I can't see why you're getting so worked up about them. There are books from "great" authors that I want to take the book and fling it through the wall because they're so damn stupid in their attempts at cleverness, I know what I'm getting when I pick up a book designed for teenage girls, and quite frankly, that's what I got from this series. Chill people...and lay off the Mormons, they're like any other religion, generally good with a few batpoo crazy members.

Comment #388 (Posted by Aerofan73)
So if this series had been written by a Catholic or Scientologist, it would be different? Or maybe because this is not "typical" Mormon thoughts? So I think what the author of this column is saying is......any other author of any other religion can come up with the sickest most vile thoughts and turn them into a book but if a Mormon even treads a little over that line, we should all persecute. Stephanie Meyer is still human and has human thoughts and there is nothing in her books that goes against her religion. OR........maybe the author of this article is pissed off because he had to turn in his man card when Edward and Jacob showed up!

Why do you have to take shots at mormons. Just because she is mormon doesn't mean that we all think like this. And we sure as hell don't all like this shitty excuse for literature.

lol, to the twilight fans here that are saying not to ridicule the book and ignore it instead, how about you don't ridicule this article and ignore it instead? do you even know what freedom of speech is or why it's important? of course, it's understandable ignorant behavior from someone who would actually like the books.
i sat down and tried to read twilight after a friend had told me it was great, before the hype. that writing is terrible; it's absolutely horrendous, actually. the characters aren't well developed and the plot's rather poorly done. as pretentious at it sounds, the only excuse you can have to like it is to not have read anything else - also to have the mind of a thirteen year old.
further, the bit about it being "fiction" is a completely moot point that twidiots keep bringing up - it has nothing to do with anything. you repeating it over and over won't make it relevant. you'll just sound even stupider than you already do.

Dude look it up on IMDB. The movie is listed as in production.

Hmm Meyer has no talent? And you know this because you are an ASPIRING writer? Well do you think that overnight you can come up with an idea through a DREAM for a story and start and finish a 498 page book in less than 3 months that will grow into a multi-million dollar profit? Sorry sugar, don’t think it will happen. Also why did you even read Breaking Dawn if you did not like Twilight? Was it to become a wannabe critic, do steal some ideas? Also I know you are trying to go for a dramatic effect here, but I highly doubt you fell asleep in a crowded theater with “crazy” fans more than once, I also doubt that you really threw Breaking Dawn a COUPLE times out of frustration. The word COUPLE indicates more then once, probably on separate occasions, so if you really did not like the book, why make yourself look like an ass and finish reading it? Now as for the only reason Twilight fans like the books is because it made them horny, PUH LEASE. Cut the melodramatic critique, ok speedo? We like the book because it gives us a dream of a guy that makes us feel good because we know that there are too many pricks like you walking around. We are dreaming of guys BETTER than you. We look for things that you don’t and never will have. Get the picture? So why don’t you go back to you thrift store laptop and write that little story you scammed from another book that no one will ever really like and stop writing comments that make you look like an insensitive jerk? Ok cupcake?

Dear Twihards-
YES! The Twilight Saga is a huge financial success story. We know. But...just because something is lucrative doesn't mean it's well-written, creative, or even competently done at all. I mean, you KNOW this, right? You KNOW something can turn a profit and still suck, right? 'Transformers 2' made a freakin' buttload of money and was BLOODY HORRIBLE. 'New Moon' is no different. Terrible movie that appeals to its fans and no one else, rakes in a ton of cash, then promptly drops off the map.
Stephenie Meyer can't write for s***. That's OK, it happens. It's not a crime to be a bad writer. But please stop trying to convince the rest of us that book sales=quality. Every argument about Twilight eventually boils down to "but ______ is REALLY HOT!" so just give up all other arguments. Admit you want to bang the Gary Stu main characters and call it a day. When you start making claims that this is a great work of literature, the only loser is you.
Comment #399 (Posted by Ashley)
For God’s sake that is exactly what it means. If a book or a movie turns into a multi-million dollar profit it obviously means that something was written/directed well. Fans are not trying to convince the haters or critics that the movie must be good because it has done so well and because of this or that. They want you to stop hating on what makes them happy. They want people like you to stop criticizing them as being a moron or sap or whatever name you want to pull out of your hat of names, just because the Twilight book appeals to them. This war over this side and that and you are stupid and we are smart for calling you stupid. It is ridiculous. I mean do you see how immature people like you are? Calling people names just because they like something? Or trying to convince them not to like what appeals to them because this right here is so poorly written or that over there is so stupid?
This war is not just about Twilight. It is about every piece of literature out there and movies and artwork. There are always to sides: one is Team Hate the other is Team Love. And that is fine. You can’t possibly expect people to agree on things. That is not how we are made. But when one side starts critiquing the other and when one side starts calling people out because what they like is so “this or that”, that is when it gets out of line. What is up with that? Why would you want to deliberately make someone feel bad like that? If all you can up with is because “they need to know how stupid liking the book/movie makes them look” or “because I just feel like arguing” or “because the book is a work of idiocy and they need to know that”, than you have the maturity of 6 year old. No a 1 year old because a 1 year old has no maturity. Do you see what I mean? Hmm probably not. But anyways, S.M. obviously wrote something well in the Twilight series if it has that much success and even is the book sucked as much as you would like to think it does and it only had a handful of fans, well if it makes them happy than let it be. And Transformers. In your opinion it sucked, but for those who are on Team Love, it ruled. And to call someone out because of something they like, that is sick. It is hateful and it is rude. And what is more, Twilight fans don’t like the series because it makes them horny, they like it because the story appeals to them. It entertains them and they enjoy reading it. And so what if Edward DOES get them excited. He only does because in their eyes that is their dream guy. A guy that has the rare qualities of men in this world. Edward appeals to them because of what guys like you have made guys out to be in this world. Just stop with the name calling and all that crap, because it makes YOU the loser. The book and movie makes the fans happy and makes the haters hate. Leave it at that and stop with all the criticizing. What WE like is not going change and what people like in the future, that is not going to change either. There are always going to be two sides to everything, but as long as those two sides are kept in their place and as long as Team Hate discusses what they hate with the members of Team Hate and as long as Team Love obsesses with the members of Team Love, there is no need for name calling and judgment on one side verses the other. Now after all of this and you still want to continue with the name calling and judgment critique, than I am afraid there is no hope for you at all. You obviously are immature, you obviously like being a negative person, and you obviously can’t stand to see other people happy. I am just sorry I have to come to that conclusion.

#169 telling twilight fans to get a life whlie you're taking the time rag on them seems hypocritical to me. On the flip side I have to say that this is a hilarious post Devon! I have read the entire twilight saga and I agree that they aren't literary masterpieces. They're Fiction- i.e. made up stories that can be completly ridiculous. Iread them purely for that ridiculousness and the chance to yet again make fun of something as I read. You shouldn't generalize an entire gender because of this. I've seen the movies- again because it's fun to make fun of them, but let us not forget about the male stars of the movie who're eye candy and often shirtless. just saying. #408 yes it is like fanfic and along the same line did you read the sixth HP book? the thing had more holes in it than swiss cheese and I wanted to burn it. still, Hilarious article. somewhat wrong, but hilarious alll the same.

#408,
Sweetie, maybe you did not read my post right. That was EXACTLY the point I was trying to make. Yes a book with a billion crazed fans CAN be horrible. But that does not mean you need to go on Team Hate and start criticizing and blurting out unintelligent words directed to the fans because you THINK the book is bad. I personally think it is good. But in your eyes and millions of other people’s eyes the book is crap. Ok, I get it. But putting people down because of what they like…my friend I think you are the ****head. What kind of sick, hateful, negative, person does that? Oh yes, I recall now, it is you along with your other twenty something thousand buddies on Team Hate. Or Team Negative or Team Jerk or whatever you want to call it. I know that just because a book/movie has a million fans does not mean necessarily mean it is good. There is not a single piece of existing literature/movie/poem/art work that can be considered by all, magnificent and one of a kind. Because again, there are always going to be people who like to criticize things, always going to be people who just are not into the same things as everyone else, and always going to be people who just have different tastes. And having different tastes is fine. But when one side starts to criticize and harass the other, like I mentioned in the previous post, than that is when a line needs to be drawn. And for the record hun, Twilight and Harry Potter are two completely different books with completely different genres. One is about the day and the life of witches and wizards; one is about the love between vampires and humans. They are two totally different stories on two totally different roads. And yet another thing, I have read about the Harry Potter books and truthfully, they just do not appeal to me. I was not even interested in reading them. And that is fine, because like again, everyone has different tastes. But if I were to go bash the fans of Harry Potter and start calling them names then that would make me a jerk. In both the fans eyes and the rest of humanity mature enough to realize that different tastes in different things do not put one person above the other. Now, darling, I really must be going. I am sure you would like to speak your mind and mutter your unintelligent words, and I respect that. But just know that if after my explaining this to you and you still can not grasp my simple concept, as I am sure you won’t, than really there is nothing more to discuss. And again, there may be people out there who read my posts and still wish to argue and speak their unintelligent words or whatever they wish, but just know that bottom line you can’t win this one. I am not saying I am right, but I am saying that you can not possibly come up with a VALID excuse for name calling and negative speech just because someone likes something you don’t. Talk about SM writing like a 4t grader, well your acting like one. How very immature. Well sugar I better get going, as it is late where I live. Think about what I said and try to change your degrading attitude.
Cheers!

LOVE THIS!!! About Jacob falling in love with Renesmee or 'Nessie' because every child want to be named after the lockness monster by their own wolf boyfriend. I really wish Bella would have killed him. But, like what the hell? He's like 17 and she is like a few hours old! Sick, perverted, Stephenie Meyer.
Comment #414 (Posted by an unknown user)
Uhm. Alot of the things said in this synopsis are true. But you're also leaving so much out, making it seem way more scattered,insane,ridiculous and trashy than it really is. First, Bella doesnt get knocked unconscious when they have sex. That just.....doesn't happen lmao I don't know where you got that from but whatever. Oh and Jacob doesn't "fall in love" with a baby. It's more like a binding attatchment. To protect and care. Not essentially "love" at least, not in THAT way yet. And Renessmee remains a baby for like a fucking week since she grows so quickly. So really, she'll be 18 withing a few months. AND since shes half vampire and half human, she will stop aging entirely once she reaches her full adult size. AND yes, I know this shit is crazy and all over the place with no structure, but don't make it seem SOSOSOSO horrible when you dont really have your facts straight.

The best part of Breaking Dawn was Edward having sex with Bella and breaking beds in the process. There is a wild sex animal under that calm exterior and Bella is loving it. Now that has to be in the movie.

Although I am seriously into these books and movies, I would have to say that I thought that was the funniest critique of these books I have read. Yes, I found it extremely strange about the Jacob - Renesmee deal, but the book also says how utterly revolting that concept is and Stephanie prepares you for it with Quill and his niece in the previous book Eclipse. Thanks for the laugh though!
Comment #426 (Posted by an unknown user)
As a casual fan of the series, I found this writeup hilarious and thought provoking. I really wonder how they will handle it. All things considered though, it's not that the content is that crazy, it's that is is SO different than the other Twilight books. Definitely not PG-13 material.
Crazy ideas can get traction though. The classic horror movie Rosemary's Baby (which came out in 1968) is about a coven of witches getting Satan to impregnate a girl and then bring the baby to term. It was one crazy movie, but it was made - even back then.

I haven't had time to read the comments, so just in case it hasn't been pointed out yet - Stephenie Myer is indeed a moron, and a shitty writer.
My main point in commenting is - DON'T BLAME IT ON THE MORMONS! I'm Mormon, and I am mortified that this woman is drawing this attention to us in this way. MORTIFIED.

Check that out for anyone confused by the discussions of Mormon dogma in the Twilight books. It doesn't solve all the answers, but it definitely sheds some light for those who weren't sure.
Also, Ashley and anyone else defending the Twilight series based upon the quality of Meyers' writing. I'm an author. I've had short stories published, and I've got a novel manuscript that is almost 400 pages long in Word Format, meaning it's closer to 600 pages in novel stature. Recently, I've pitched my novel to several publishing houses, and the first statement I received was that according to the editors, it was a breath of fresh air compared to the wash of novels they have been subjected to of late, mine having careful, poetic writing and eloquence in detail and plot development. However, due to the blockbuster effect of both Twilight and HP, the market is flooded with Fantasy. And as such, they asked me to write something else. Well, that's fine, but understand that Twilight's effect on the writing industry is an incredible influx of *bad writing* expected to be permissible. Stephanie Meyers is not a good author. Her writing is repetitive, droll and uninspired. However. She's sold millions, is very rich, and that's good for her. Just stop defending the books as having high standards of literature. You want *literature*? Have you even heard of Paradise Lost?
Alas. Insults directing at Smeyers intelligence or anything else are not necessary, no, but for those of us actively engaged in the pursuit of writing as a career, it's been a hammerblow to the standards and hopes. She actively *lowered* the expected standard of writing based on the commercial success of her books. So, forgive me if I cringe at the mention of Twilight and the associated books. It's a frustration that can be expressed without insulting her as a person.
Comment #431 (Posted by Ashley)
Abdiel- Again I said to CERTAIN fans SM is a good writer and the fact that she has made millions of dollars obviously gives evidence of that. Now as a reminder I also said that just because people do not like SM books does not give them the excuse to go dirty their mouths at the fans. Do you think it does? How interesting you say you’re a writer. My father is as well, but he writes more for himself. His old friend also is. He published his first book a few years ago. I have not read it so I do not know if it is good. ;-) I also write, but only for myself. I write poems. We have to remember though, that just because WE don't like something does not mean it is bad. To our eyes it is, but to others? Far from it! A good book is in the eye of its fans. Oh and was not Paradise Lost written by the old poet John Milton? Epic poems are not something I favor; I do like Leaves of Grass, which is a little different (in my book) but I love it none the less. I am a fan of American Literature. Washington Irving, Walt Whitman, Ralph Emerson and of course Emily Dickinson. Her style is classic. She laid the foundations for a lot of our free-verse styles. Anyway don’t want to get off track now. So do you see my point?
Cheers darling!
Comment #432 (Posted by Colette)
I totally agree with Ashley, just because you dont like something does not give you the right to get in a hissy fit about it and start talking trash. i appreciate that SM does not write amazing literature like pride and predudice, wuthering heights, dorian grey, little dorrit or oliver twist (you get my point?) does not mean she is a complete idiot with no brain.
Because seriously our writing standards have only decreased over the years, 95%of adults think shakespeare is a brand of toilet paper and wouldnt understand it if you were hitting them over the head repeatedly with a book titled 'how to understand shakespeare'. we some good books in the 18th and 19th century and since then its all gone downhill.
so before you critisize with other peoples writing remember how many millions of books have been sold and how many you have written and how popular they were before you slag them off.

You know, you left out another awesome fact in BD: the kid ages up magically super fast and is super intelligent. So not only does the book have all the stupidity above, it also shows Bella in a dream parenting situation. The kid grows up so fast that Bella doesn't even need to take care of her in baby phase. Enough high schools are having babies, we don't need more teen books with fantasy pregnancies where parenthood is perfect and magical.
Comment #437 (Posted by Kyle)
This article made me lol so hard, but I have to respond to those who argue FOR SM by saying that no one likes/reads/understands Shakespeare anymore. I say this to you: Shakespeare is meant to be PERFORMED and read ALOUD, not on the page. It is confusing even to pros on the page. And if you think people don't get Shakespeare when they see/hear it, you are seriously out of touch with reality. Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet was a huge hit, and I know loads of folks who I would not consider theatre-goers who have seen good live Shakespeare and not only understood it, but loved it. So nyah.

You know, it's fine you don't like the books. That's your prerogative. I thought Dune was a load of BS, and you didn't. That's what makes us all unique, right? But bashing Mormons is ignorant and wrong. Are you racist too? Homophobic? You just dont like anyone or anything that you aren't? I'm an atheist and still I found offense in your words. I'm a Twilight fan, and I think Meyer is a brilliant writer, so for that I certainly do hope the fourth book is made into a movie. I actually LOVED the fourth book... and I just love how what happens in the book has been taken out of context and twisted here. But ahh, thats always the way isn't it? Love it or like it, a book is a book is a book. It's fun to debate, discuss. But lets not be bigots over it right? Ok, I will sit back and wait for the trash talk... *sigh*

Comment #448 (Posted by deviant)
a lot of people who read best selling novel for example do not read much other fiction. by contrast the audience for an obscure novel is largely compose of people who read a lot that means the least popular are judged by people who have the highest standard while the most popular are judged by people who literally do not know any better. an american who read just one book this year disproptionately likely to read the lost symbol by dan brown. he almost certainly liked it.
Comment #449 (Posted by senior09)
okay, first of all, these books are fiction. People have amazingly intelligent minds and if they can make money off of their ideas, then more power to them. and you people have nothing to say to it because at least she is making money off her books and movies, which are MORE accepted than unaccepted. secondly, these books were made for young teenage girls to read and to broaden their imagination. Breaking Dawn is just about everyone who has read the books, minus you pessimistic idiots on here,favorite of all four books. So, if you don't like the books, why in the hell does it matter what you think because you ranting over shit that isn't going to change anything is pointless and it's just another freaking pointless website taking up space on the internet. So, my advice, find something worth bitching to bitch about because from what a lot of you have said, you sound like 5 year olds.
p.s. why would you and how could you possibly complain about books that have made 65% of our teen girl population start to read again?
Comment #450 (Posted by Elizabeth)
You fail to mention Meyer's lack of an epic ending. I myself have read all 4 books cover to cover and in the final book Meyer makes me want to shoot myself. Let me explain.
I assume most of you have seen a good enough movie to know that when there is foreshadowing to huge battle (the specific one in the book is when the Volturi come to kill Bella) then there is usually a blowout and amazing action scenes. It is on this part, Meyer completely lost me. While surrounded by the strongest vampires in the book's known world, Bella, a fresh vampire that masters a power that is completely lame in a matter of weeks as opposed to those that took years to master theirs, can hold off centuries old masters while Edward and Carlisle can TALK THEM DOWN. my question: why the hell would you take the plot and kill it faster than Brutus killed Caesar? On a realistic level this book made no sense whatsoever, though it did provide my friends and I entertainment as we commented on how Meyer's "depression" because someone stole her first draft of her next book and posted it online (the book, by the way, is "Twilight" written from Edward's POV).

Comment #452 (Posted by Ashley)
Awww jack-jack. May I cal you jack-jack? Ok I may. Listen hunny bunny, just because you CAN say something doesn't mean you SHOULD. And where is all this anger coming from? "And that goes to anyone else that thinks this is anything short of great" Do you realize how bi-polar you sound? And the Twilight fans "blind and kill people? now you are delusional? Most fans are just defending themselves from people like you who have all this hate and negativity built up in them from a hard life they had growing up and don't know another way to vent so they just simply say F u and F that. What a sad life. Have you considered seeing someone for your problems, and I am being serious,? I feel bad for you, I do. But unless you are a 1st grader who has little control over their emotions and who has still yet to finish growing, then maybe some advice will do you good.
So you think that saying some tough big boy words and making some courage-less threats that you will get your point heard? That people will respect you? That you can have a life and relationship with someone without the same problems as you? You know the ones who have nothing better to do than share their unwanted negativity with others, the ones who think swearing and drinking makes them tough and earns them respect, the ones who will never have a real life with people who REALLY respect them? Is that what you want? Is this way of living what you really want? Is it? To have a cloud of negativity follow you around wherever you go? My friend, you can do better than that. You are better then meaningless words and trash talk. At least I hope you are.
That is the thing with a lot of people these days. They have no respect. One who is different from you is your enemy, one who believes in something you don’t is your foe. And yes you can say to me “well what I say and what I believe in, sharing my negativity with others, swearing, trash talking people, is different, so are not you contradicting yourself”? And yes that is a valid point.
A lot of the things people say are contradictions. They have one side that contradicts the other. Even some laws are contradictions. There are even contradictions within contradictions. But there is also common sense(and morals).
Common sense is what makes people see that yeah this technically is a “contradiction” but you have to consider other factors. Take what I just said earlier as an example. Me telling you about how people don’t respect others because of how the live their life and what they choose to do and say, while I am scolding you for doing exactly what I am doing is a contradiction. But there are other factors to consider. You are bashing other people for being different; I am trying to tell you that what you are doing and saying is not right. So yeah while we are both scolding other people for being different, we are doing so in very different ways. You are doing it to hurt people and I am doing to make people snap out of their harsh ways. Or at least to see that hurting people and putting people down does not get you far in life.
Another example: free speech. Scolding someone for using free speech contradicts your belief in free speech. You can not say I believe in free speech and go bash some guy next to you for calling that guy who accidentally spilled coffee on the one you are bashing a F****** idiot, or a s***** moron. Because that is a contradiction. But how are these situations different? With common sense and morals, you should be able to answer that one yourself.
*Sighs* the list goes on and on. No matter what you say there will always be someone who disagrees with you, always be someone who takes disagreeing with another to the next level, and there will always be contradictions. But using common sense can help you see past all that.
Common sense: sound practical judgment, judgment not based on specialized knowledge. Like I said you can always think technical but a wise person will use common sense, sound judgment, and morals to see and say that yes while this is technically that and that is technically this, you have to be able to look at the other side. Knowing the difference between right and wrong will help you realize that common sense and morals come before technicalities and contradictions.
A lot to think about and a lot to learn. Didn’t mean to go into a deep thinking rant. Something may come out of our little chat and something may not. And to be honest I am tired of dealing and talking to people like you who can not seem to get what I am saying. But maybe it isn’t your faults; maybe you guys really do have something wrong with you. Something that is keeping you from being a person other than what you already are. Who knows. Now sweet pea, that is becoming my pet name, all this chit and chatter has made me rather hungry, so I best be going. Do try and see my point. And forgive me for my poor sentence structure and any contradictions that I may not have seen ;-).
Cheers!!

Coca-Cola- I know I am aren't I? Ahh love it. I love my cats too ;-). But anyways Pepsi, I already looked through them. I read the title, and that was it. I assumed that since the writer used trash in the title that it would reflect on the theme of the article: rubbish. All the negative talk, language, and hate are not things that I wanted to read. These qualities that show through the writing come from the person who authored it and the qualities in the author come from all the negativity this poor soul had growing up. Negativity is like a cold. If you are surrounded by enough of it, you catch it. What a shame.

Comment #467 (Posted by Leah)
Funny thing is, obscure books are usually read by the people who read the most books and so are subject to judgment by more informed critics. Bestsellers, on the other hand, are usually read by people who read very few books, in fact, if you read the twilight books, chances are that book was the only book you read that year. Maybe another best seller or two, but the same logic still applies. So who is really more fit to judge the "awesomeness" of twilight: the fans, or the critics?
That aside, I haven't seen anyone of the twilight movies, and never will. But if Breaking Dawn makes it into theaters unedited, I'll totally be there.

Someone mentioned at the top that the fans hated this book. I enjoyed this series, I see how stupid the characters are and how they're all underdeveloped now but it was decent back when I was reading it. This book changed everything. I was so disgusted with it I didn't even get halfway through the book. I eventually summoned the courage to get through most of it but still couldn't finish Breaking Dawn. She ruined it, it was over. This book made me hate the whole series, I bet there's better fanfiction out there then this crap.

Comment #473 (Posted by JJ)
In order to be mormon you either have to be schizophrenic or a complete fucking idiot who can barely read. Meyers clearly fits into both of those categories hence the connection to the mormon church when discussing the insane shit she peddles. Dawkins put it best when he stated that he couldn't believe a church started by a 19th century charlatan(Joseph Smith) still existed. For those defending the "imprinting" When you grow up and have kids of your own I wonder how you would feel about some young man "imprinting" on your baby daughter. When you get to that stage you might just understand why were calling it pedophilia. Yes it is a fantasy book but fantasizing about baby-adult love still makes you fucking insane. I would strongly suggest to all of you twilight fans and defenders to get out into the wide world of literature so that some day you can look back and realize why so many of us think the series is not worth the paper it was printed on.

Meyer said she didn't want it made into a movie because she didn't believe there would be proper special affects to portray bella's daughter, who is born an infant, but ages super-fast. (so that by the end of the book she looks like a 3 year old or something) Personally I like the books because you can make them seem however you want in your imagination. The movies do a horrible job of protraying the storyline and characters. The only actors i think are doing their jobs are the people playing Charlie and Alice.

If they are looking for a baby to play Bella's baby I think my baby would be perfect for the part. She is the most well behaved baby you ask for. Everyone thinks she is one of the most bueatiful babies they have ever seen. I was reading the last book when I was pregnant with her. I would love if she had a chance to try out for the part.

This MUST become a movie, it would be the best COMEDY of the year. And someone call Seth Rogen to act in the movie, 'cause he makes everything funnier.

If this is what's it all about - I'm goin mormon. And NO! this is no fuckin ironic comedy shit with injokes. Blood and fucking and a werewolf/baby love story, just like Devin and the Latter day Saints told us.

was so impressed up until "The baby has telepathy, by the way, so everybody can read its thoughts while it's in the womb."
only Edward can hear her and he can everyone except Bella... but it was really funny and it would make a kick ass film.

How could you write this without reading the entire book? But how could you read the entire book??

If you want good vampire/werewolf books, read Keri Arthur's Riley Jensen series, or Christine Feehan's Carpathian series. Good stuff with plenty of sex added in.

-Edward “fucking [Bella] off the coast of Rio de Janero”
-“this scene alone is why I remain firm in declaring that David Cronenberg must direct Breaking Dawn”
-“I may quit movie watching - I will have seen the ultimate culmination of a century of cinema”
I cannot even put into words how hilarious this post is. I may have to bookmark it and come back every time I need a good laugh. LMFAO

you guys are fucking idiots, first off i wouldnt question my humanity by saying that i would like to see the 4th book made into a movie. theres a few reasons that you would be against it. your either incredibly self consious and cant stand being compared to a fictional characteror your pissed because you cant get in on a multibillion dollar deal. either way your all idiots. if youve actually read any of the books theres a romance story behind it all just because you take parts of the books and interpret how you want doesn't mean you have any idea of what the fuck your talking about. get over yourselves and let people enjoy what they want. maybe you should try reading the books before you judge them. yes ive read them all and ive seen the movies so go ahead make whatever comments youd like you wont change my mind.

Now I have to admit, I am a bit of a fan of the books, but really. When it's put like this ...omg. That film is either going to be bloody awful or FUCKING hilarious.

Let me just start by saying that this article made me laugh so hard. Pure genius and I honestly hadn't even thought about the challenges of making Breaking Dawn into a movie until I read it. Of course I have probably spend about <1% of my life thinking about the Twilight series so...
But I think some of the best stuff comes from the comments. The people trying to defend the book, claiming that all these people have no clue what they are talking about and shouldn't judge a book by its cover and whatever make me laugh so hard. I have read all of the Twilight series (yes, I really have) and while it wasn't the worst thing I've read, it certainly wasn't the awesome masterpiece you all seem to be trying to defending. As a reasonable human being surely you have to see that what Devin writes is so close to the true it hurts. Breaking Dawn is a bunch of ridiculous shit all smashed together. I'm glad you all seem to fit the stereotype of the fans. You provide me with so much amusement. I know I can't change your minds and I'm very sure you'll continue to enjoy this drivel (and most likely defend it to the death) but that's fine with me. Don't change stereotypical Twilight fan. Don't lose your lust for that idealized vampire man that can fuck people into unconsciousness. Continue having your love of sexy Jacob cloud your judgment into thinking that 'imprinting' on a baby is perfectly fine. We need people like you to laugh at.

#486 What a sad life you must have. :-( You poor thing. Have you not read my many comments? To you it sucks but to Twilight fans it rocks. Now if something makes someone happy why would you want to ruin it for them or make them feel bad? Do you want people to think that your insults come from a person who rots in their negativity? Its funny you mention that the comments you read come from stereotypical Twilight fans. Your comment comes from a stereotypical Twilight hater. Or just a poor cynical fellow with nothing better to do. I also find it hard to believe that you read the books. If you did you would know that Mr. Edward does not “f” Mrs. Bella into unconsciousness. You would also understand the meaning of love without sexual consent. Not all love involves sex, but if sex is all a person knows, then I don’t expect they will understand that concept. Oh yes, and also the character Jacob makes it clear, as does SM, that the love he has is more like an older brother protective love. And I do recall that he does say when Bella is disgusted by the idea of him and Renesme “No!!! How could you even think about it that way?!” And I do quote darling. I do. Now why you have all this hate and cynicism built up in you I don’t know. I am absolutely disgusted by a person such as yourself. The negative ones. The ones who just seek to be hateful, to say a few words, to establish their tough little selves. Are you not disgusted by the person you see in the mirror? I am sure that as you are reading this you will simply say out loud “shit no” along with your other unintelligent words. And I do feel bad for you, but at the same time I want to box your ears- I do hope I am not being blunt. Maybe I should stop trying? Oh and one last thing darling, I don’t quite think that the Twilight fans are necessarily referring to Twilight as a masterpiece. I think that they are merely trying to defend what they like. What children you and the other ones I have talked are. Repeating the same point over and over and yet you still can’t seem to understand. I marvel at your innocence.
