Only a matter of time before Dakota Fanning got involoved lol. God I hated Twilight, the books were half way decent (my wife made me read them honest). The movie was shoddy at best. LOL Hell if anyone can put it right Ms. Fanning can. Anybody seen the Dakota Fanning rape movie? It was f**ked up! Cameron Bright is bad ass though, he was GREAT in Running Scared, X-3, and Butterfly Effect oh and Frailty. Not so much in Ultraviolet though.

I hope people stop watching this ****e so they can go back to making GOOD vamp flicks like John Carpenter's Vampires, these watered down vamps just ain't my thing. Vampires in love with a human, Anne Rice S**T if you ask me.

ok yes definitely not anywhere near Anne Rice's level. In fact its a completely different audience because Rice novels are much darker and way more adult. You really can't compare them but I don't understand why so many Twilight haters come on these headlines and comment on them. If you don't like the books or movies, why are you reading this?

I've read the books, they are very whiny but I don't hate them and I didn't think the movie was that bad compared to the book. New Moon is looking to turn out great. It has a strong cast and Weitz isn't bad either. It's a serious film and I think it will no doubt be better than the first. Weitz definitely knew what he was doing by "vigorously pursuing" Sheen to play Aro. That's perfect casting. I hope everything turns out great.

Are you serious? Twilight fans don't know who Anne Rice is because most of them are in middle school right?
I really hate that stereotype that is always associated with Twilight.

there are some major special effects in this movie that they are going to have to turn around before November...interesting...

Rice is a far better writer than Meyer is, and you are right, her writing has gotten people, young females who don't know the first thing about proper writing and correct grammar use and even how to actually pick up a thesaurus to use variations of words instead of writing the same thing over and over again, plus the absolute fantastic talent of making up words.

Seriously, this is how low the literary industry has sunk? This is what makes money? How pathetic.

Go read something worth reading, like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or Harry Potter novels or Stephen King books or The Conqueror Worms instead of this. Read classic poems like Beowulf, Homer's Odyssey and Illiad. Meyer keeps referencing Wuthering Heights, making a big deal out of it any chance she got but...Twilight will never be as good as Wuthering Heights was and is. I read four chapters and have no interest in reading the rest of the book or the series. I'm mildly interested in the film as Kristen Stewart is beautiful, but luckily for me she's made more movies than Twilight, so I don't need to give my money to Summit to see her - maybe Miramax for Adventureland, etc.

Seriously, Stephanie Meyer is the antithesis of a good writer, and it just angers me that someone can spout out words and make millions, and the sentences aren't even put together well enough to be 100% coherent.

The story was interesting as far as I got, but her writing is absolutely horrible, and it isn't even a writing style, it's just wannabe-writing.

These should have been practice writings, because you can't just sit down, say you're going to be a writer and write four novels and make millions of dollars even though it appears that is what has happened. She even said herself she never planned on being a writer and this was a dream, she woke up and just started writing.

It shows.

She thanks her editor, Megan Tingley, in the Acknowledgements at the start of the book, but I doubt her editor did a damn thing, or if she did, she hardly knew what she was doing.

It's like your carpet stuff, spray a little bit on an inconspicuous area and if it doesn't discolour, then go ahead and use it on the entire carpet. Meyer's gone, shaken the can vigorously and sprayed it all over the carpet and the entire carpet has become dicoloured and ruined, yet she think's the carpet looks fine.

I'm so sorry I gave you $AUD16, Ms Meyer, but thankfully that isn't as much as tweeny girls have given you for the film tickets, books, books on CD, and all other useless Twilight merchandise.

And I'm not wasting my time complaining about something for no reason like most internet nerds do; I'm genuinely complaining about genuinely poor writing.

I'm all for reading books, I grew up in a literary household, my mother is an English teacher, and I've been writing ever since I was four (I am now 18), but please, Ms Meyer, please, improve your writing and, now that you CAN AFFORD IT, get a better editor to help improve your writing as well - as I said, I'm happy to read future books from you, but please - practice makes perfect.
