Twilight and New Moon
I really think they should make a movie out of twilight and new moon.Iv almost finished new moon and I think they are both really good.What do you all think?

They are planning on making a movie of Twilight, by MTV, which means it will most likely turn out bad.
On a side note, I think New Moon is one of the worst books I have ever read.
MTV is making it? Then it is going to be a crappy movie. =( Sad.I actually enjoyed the book.
And new moon was a boring book when the vampires left.It didnt get good again untill they came back.
it's not just MTV that is making it.MTV Films, Paramount, and Maverick Films have, as a group, bought the right to consider making Twilight into a film. Paramount is good. Get your facts straight. I dont mean to be rude
Jack Sparrow: [as he sees rock-like crabs] Now we're being followed by rocks.Never heard that
Go to Stephenie Meyer's page if you want a better explanation.
She'd be biased though, wouldn't she? Authors are usually too close to their writing/characters to see flaws. That's what editors are for. Whatever my problems with the books are, I have to respect the author for not letting success got to her head. *coughcoughlkhcough*

New Moon was definetly slow moving but as before, Meyer's charecterization makes you fall deeper in love than before. Did you happen to go to Stephenie Meyer's website to see who she would choose (if she could) for the roles, if only some of the fans could make the movie. But I doubt if will be made soon, I mean cant they sometimes buy movie rights to a book and then wait for years to make it or smthing.
sharei've read both books. i consider myself to be an adequate judge of a book's potential to be interesting. while i agree that New Moon was slower than the first book i thought the way stephenie meyer described the main character's heartbreak and pain was vivid. if your like any other human being on the planet, you've had your heart broken before. i could relate to what she had written. i read that book compulsivley for months. i found it, to a certain point, to be very honest.
of course, i respect all of your opinions and views.
and i agree when you say that the movie won't live up to the book.
I agree with you.The aurthor does an excellent job of discribing Bella's heartbreak.It almost made me sad to read those parts.And usually the middle book in a trilogy(if this is a trilogy)is more boring and slow than the others.
Twilight, was better than New Moon in terms of quality, though I don't like either one. But New Moon was horrible, mainly because of how selfish and small-minded Bella was. Edward leaves her, and she succumbs to catatonia, disregarding everyone around her: her father, the people at her school who tried to make her feel welcome- everyone. And then she has the gall to wonder why they aren't talking to her anymore. I know a lot of girls in real life who throw over their friends when a guy comes sniffing around, but that doesn't make it right- and it doesn't make for a character I want to sympathise with. And then she gets even worse. She strikes up a friendship with Jacob, who she knows has feelings for her, and uses him to put herself in danger (and has she thought about how a potential accident might affect her parents?) so she can hear Edward's voice. She even considers hitting on him, just because she has no boyfriend now. Rebound isn't an excuse- it's been what, five months since Edward left? She wants to use Jacob for the sake of having a relationship she knows would be a sham. And as soon as Alice comes back, she ditches Jacob, and runs off on her father (who's also dealing with the death of a friend) to save Edward from his own selfish stupidity. And now she's planning on leaving her human family and friends to become a vampire. Does she care about anything besides Edward?

to an extent, i agree.
i don't know why i feel so compelled to defend these books, but i do.
he was her one, true, only love.
i think his departure would allow some degree of irrationality.
I've not yet read those books, so this is not directly meant for the character herself, but just in general. There's a difference between irrational and being a self-centered princess and sacrificing everyone else because of your own pain. What was described as that character's actions have definitely gone past the allowed degree of irrationality. There is more to life than romantic love. I say this as someone happily engaged but once had her heart broken years ago.
See No Evil - it's like King Kong meets Friday the 13th.
You had a huge point there Viorica,but dont forget,if she did'nt become a vampire,than those other vampires form Italy would kill her.But I gusse that's Edward's fault.And I do think Bella is really selfish and sometimes stupid.
Edward's fault. Exactly! If either of them used their heads for once, they wouldn't get into half of these messes!
I really don't get what she sees in Edward. If someone could explain it to me . .

I have actually been wondering that lately. I mean, what is so special about Edward, no doubt in unbelievably good looks. But their has to be something more to a person than that...right?
Recently Scene Movies:
Far and Away: 3.5/10
Bridge to Terabithia: 7/10
Plus in New Moon which I hated was when she saw him again and EVERYTHING in the ENTIRE WORLD made sense from there on out. She wasn't mad at him or anything. She became his lapdog the instant she saw him.
shareyes. now that upset me.
they just fell back into their old patterns like no one had ever been hurt.
though. i do know how she felt, more than anyone will ever realize. its not something you do on purpose, you try your hardest to get better so everyone else won't know how hurt you are inside.
sometimes, like in her case, it was just too hard.
So it's okay to inflict pain on others because you yourself were hurt? I myself battled with depression during several of my teen years, over a guy (which was stupid, but most of us are pretty dense during our teen years), but that certainly didn't give me the right to hurt others because of my own suffering.

I really don't get what she sees in Edward.If someone could explane it to me
I have no clue whats so special about Edward.I mean shure he's good looking,but one minute he's trying to stay as far away for Bella as possible,and the next he's hitting on her and there suddenly in love!
The aurthor never really tells why she's in love she just sais that she is.Something I find very strange.
Wow!
I can't believe how many people on here dislike Twilight and New Moon.
I've never even heard someone say they didn't love them before now!
They have such a following, and Edward's amazing.
I love the books, and I can't wait for 'Eclipse'!

Why do you love the books?

The characters and the characterization are AWESOME.
The plot is great (There's even a love triangle!)
They're beautifully written.
They aren't gratuitous.
I love pretty much everything about the books.
I was uncool long before uncool was cool

Eclipse?so thats what its called!I dont thinks these books are terrible I just enjoy finding faults with things and I can see alot in these books.And I cant wait for eclipse either.
Okay. Everyone needs to stop dissing those BOOKS OR I SWEAR I WILL TURN VAMPIRE ON ALL OF YOU!
First these are my all time favorite books.
Bella loves Edward because she sees something in him that draws her to him, and the same the other way around, and you people need to hold your freakin horses before they break the saddle (heehee that just came out of nowhere)
Anyways, sorry but sometimes people can be so shallow they only see what they want.
Edward feels a need to protect Bella, but at the same time he wants to protect her from himself. Are you all too shallow to understand something that complex? If so you shouldn't read these books because apparently they are way above your level.
Go read Pendragon or something 5th grade.
Clearly Twilight and New Moon is not for some of the people on here, and I could go all day defending these books, but I wouldn't want to waste my time explaining things to people who can't think outside their boxes.
And besides the point, Eclipse will more than likely explain every other minor detail so good day.

"Turn vampire"? I'm sorry, what?

Eh, never enjoyed the Pendragon books. And when you start resorting to personal attacks, that's when you lose all credibility in a debate; it's a sure sign of not having a good argument for your case. If you have any rebuttals for the articles on my site, I'd be glad to hear them.
Oh, and re what Kimberly said- there's a fine line between "beautifully written" and "purple prose" and in my opinion, the author crossed it. And as to the characterization- that's one of my biggest problems with the books. The characterization is very black and white- good guys are very, very good, bad guys are evry, very bad, and other characters get very little screentime.

I found these books all right, but there are some major problems with them.
Like Viorica8957 said, Bella is a self-centered brat who manipulates people around her and only cares about Edward, who's an idiot as well.
Not to mention that there are no gray characters in the book, which is annoying, and the book reads like a thirty year old writer making absolutely no attempt to sound like a teenager would. Oh, and then there's the Mary Sue factor.
Anyway, enough with the personal attacks. It's unbelievably childish.
