Dear Mr. Plinkett,

All I want for the Holidays are more Half in the Bag & Plinkett Reviews and Audio Commentaries tracks

PS: Have I missed anything?

he’s dead
so he has rigor mortis
constant boner
bam!

splimis

They must have fucked a LOT when rigor mortis hit because that shit lasts about 72 hours.

  If your rigor mortis lasts more than 72 hours, consult your physician.

In my opinion, the books are actually worse, because the actors in the movies are intentionally bad, and have that redeeming quality. The books have awful descriptions, too much time focused on the wrong thing, and have worse dialogue (usually)

Mike… Jay…I’m so sorry you saw Twilight. If there’s anything I can do for you guys, just let me know.

    This.
    
    LOGH is what the Star Wars prequels should have looked like.
    
    The dialogue in LoGH is nuanced and well-written. The character dynamics in the series is what the Prequels should have. You connect with characters like Yang Wen-Li, Oliver Poplan, Dusty Attenbrough and Walt Schenkopp because they are written as characters that gave a shit and thus, you care about them. Also, you know everything about them and you tend to know each character personally.
    
    I wish Lucas had made the Prequels written with characters that you care about. I know everything about Julian Minci throughout the entire series, yet i don’t even know anything about Anakin Skywalker in the three prequel films.
    - DukeTogo
      
      There are a few youtube mashups of LOGH and Star Wars.
    - guest
      
      Glad you guys mentioned LOGH. Grew up on Star Blazers and Robotech (only to discover they were Space Battleship Yamoto and Macross) Also Captain Harlock. Never heard of LOGH before but it’s great, making my way through it right now. Considering how Lucas intended to make the prequels for children, watching some classic Japanese space opera cartoons couldn’t have hurt his efforts.
    - Mark Bisone
      
      Yeah, watching 937 hours of stilted dialogue, genderless characters, and 4-frame Japanese animation couldn’t have hurt George’s efforts. Just his heart, his brain and his immortal soul.
      
      Now, let’s all sing the National Anthem of Aspergia:

      Didn’t know you had an anthem.
      
      Your problem might be affecting your ability to recognize this, but let me help you out here – you’re sharing a lil bit too much information with that one.
      
      As for Lucas, a heart, a brain, a soul? I suspect if you cut him open, sawdust would pour out. Or lava. Or snakes and bugs. Or something.

I wouldn’t have sniped at you but for your dull, humorless posts.

      I dunno… From the looks of things here, people seem to like me and think that you are a giant brain-damaged Anime faggot. Some of my best friends are giant faggots, but they have functioning brains, and therefore hate ponderous Jap Anime bullshit.
      
      Now, run on back to Livejournal and write a 10,000 word screed about how some guy named Mark “othered” you on a webzone, you degenerate autistic otaku freak. Either that or grow a pair and sign up for an account, so I can smack you around on a regular basis }:-)

i love you guys

PwnPocalypse

Mt g/f made me go see this with her. I was the only one in the theater who was in sheer agony…These movies really are terrible.

Ezekiel

That point you had about the leads having no chemistry, despite dating in real life, is really funny to me because I’ve always assumed that the real life relationship was contractually obligated until a few months after the last movie releases in theaters. It’s just a huge publicity thing, and the whole cheating fiasco was just one of them having a real relationship outside the fake one. It’s a stupid theory, but it’s at least slightly plausible, right?

Bloodopera

TROLOLOL the joke is a uninformed review. Wait, you guys understand that you end up watching an uninformed review. Wich isnt that fun.

Who the hell cares? Why should they give a proper, well-informed review of fucking Twilight?

Ohhhhh looks like we have ourselves a twi-hard! Notice the spelling and grammar used to defend a terrible, terrible story.
http://twitter.com/DeeTheMagician Dee

That’s what they do: they review a movie based on its merits as a MOVIE and not how well it translated whatever it was based upon. That’s why “it’s better/different/explained in a book” is not a valid argument – we’re not reviewing the book, we’re reviewing the movie. The movie should be able to stand on its own merits if it’s well done.
zero_miles_per_hour

They’re informed in the sense that they know a lot about movies, which I would argue is more fun than if they were informed in the sense of knowing a lot about Twilight drama and canon.

The Twilight movies have some of the best Rifftrax, at least, and I’ve seen them all several times with those tracks over it. That’s going to be my excuse for knowing answers to various Twilight questions. God help me.

JoeJoe

The Rifftrax versions make it _extremely_ palatable. Those guys really can’t hide their hate for those pebble sized unflushable turd movies.
Tom Craig

I highly recommend watching these with Rifftrax. It helps to showcase that these movies are actually comedies. And are way funnier than any Adam Sandler movie.

Breaking Dawn Part 1 has the sharpest tonal shift in film history. It goes from a movie about a wedding and honeymoon to anti-abortion body horror with Bella looking like she had just been liberated from Dachau. It has to be seen to be believed.

That sounds like a positive.

It’s the ‘Rich Evans’ Laugh Fan Club’. Rich Evans himself has no fans

http://www.facebook.com/nicktheofficeninja Nicholas Collins

The thing that’s most baffling is; they know the movie will be a fucking huge mega hit but it looks like they made it on an Ed Wood budget. I mean I hate Transformers but at least with those movies you can see they at least put some effort in the movie, I mean you can see where the 150 fucking million dollars went. Twilight looks like a fucking money laundering scam, did Adam Sandler produce it?

http://twitter.com/Tea557 Tea557

The budgets have been pretty low on them as a whole, the first one cost about 36 and the second 50ish, which is crazy considering they made so much.
http://wrongsirwrong.blogspot.com/ Magic Xylophone

Breaking Dawn Part II cost 136,000,000 fucking dollars to make. Think of what Neill Blomkamp managed to do with $30 million in District 9.
Adam Warlock

This why this production company is brilliant. Minimal effort + star struck tweens = $$$$$$$$$.

jubalbiggs

Ok; I have officially never seen any Twi-book or Twi-flik. I am therefore perfectly qualified to answer all your questions. Ready?
1 He gets a boner because… It’s his special power; like that other dude can move water, he can move his willie. (He can also make it sing and dance, but that’s not in the film).
2 How they run around the world; you don’t realize this, but half of the upper decks of all Virgin Air 747s are reserved for Vampys. They have a special deal with the airline. Sometimes the pretty vampys have to work as stewardesses to pay for their flight though.
3 Why they brought so many people to kill one vampire baby. Because last time they had to go through this rigamarole, it turned out to be Hellboy.
4 there was lava 100 feet down because the author was making a metaphysical reference to Earth bleeding (hence; vampires), which is actually a veiled reference to ecological destruction as a result of human activity.
5 The vampys developed X-Man powers like Tinkerbell in the Peter Pan play comes back to life; the audience has to clap if they believe in fairies, and she resurrects on stage. Similarly, if enough stupid 14 year old girls dress all “goth” and stuff, the vampys develop massive X man powers. Theoretically, if every human on Earth shopped at Hot Topic, their top-end power potential is pretty much godlike.
There; answered all the questions I can remember. This is official canon, coming from someone who has never seen any of the books or movies.
You’re welcome.

Robert Dickmuncher

As always, an awesome episode of “Not a Plinkett review”!

Mark Bisone

The key to understanding the franchise is that, while the Star Wars prequels were films for babies, the Twilight movies are films “by” babies. Babies are now writing bestselling literature, directing major studio pictures, designing CGI special effects and running for high political office. You’ve come a long way, babies!

http://www.facebook.com/deejaytaufiq Mohamad Taufiq Morshidi

Well, the writer is a Mormon and thus, everything awkward about the series is based on Mormon imagery.

Every single time KStew bites her lip, it reflects well on the story of how every one of Brigham Young’s wives bite their lips when they met him for the first time.

It’s interesting that you mentioned how much Michael Sheen hammed it up in this movie. I thought he was WAY over the top in ‘Tron: Legacy’ as well; like his performance just didn’t fit into that movie. What is it with him and his hammy performances??

No Seriously

Anyone else think that spit take was extraordinarily realistic? better acting there than the entirety of the twilight films

http://wrongsirwrong.blogspot.com/ Magic Xylophone

In Twilight, the challenge was to not do a spit take when they read the script.

  With the rifftrax is the only way PERIOD to watch this dreck. The first two rifftrax are pretty much classics. But I have to admit the most recent one, the first part of the two-parter.The movie was so bad, and not in a good way, that I was distracted too much by just how horrendous it was. My friends and I where literally freaking the hell out at how horrible it was.
  Have to admit though that I’ll be seeing this with the rifftrax as well. With lots of beer.

S G

Great to see you guys finally biting the bullet and doing Twilight. Still hoping for a Plinkett-review on the series, but I guess those films are just too damn boring and the “story” is so thin that they simply don’t deserve it.

Seriously: I didn’t quite get the Harry Potter-craze either, but those films at least *had* individual stories, some halfway interesting characters and a through story. Read: They’re halfway entertaining. Twilight OTOH just looks like a giant, pretentious snooze-fest with boring, self-obsessed teens staring at each other (love?) or stammering bad dialogue (drama?). Plus it has the lamest, softest, gayest vampires ever (sparkling? “vegetarian” vampires??). In this universe, there really seems to be no downside to being a vampire.

I’m proud to say I haven’t seen any of them. I did however see snippets of the Rifftrax-versions on youtube and on that basis, I’m seriously considering buying the entire fucking “saga” along with those commentaries.

Almost forgot: How is it that vampires in Twilight can talk, when it’s established that they don’t breathe?

zero_miles_per_hour

In mythology vampires are spectral beings, basically like visible ghosts. You can see and hear them but they’re not really there. I think Twilight vampires are different though, more akin to zombies which don’t have any particular need or inclination to breathe but are still able to physically contract and expand their lungs to force air through their larynges.
- braaaaaaaains
  
  Sparkling zombies? Count me in.
- S G
  
  Err nope.. as far as I’m aware, vampires were originally imagined as living corpses in folklore – blood-sucking zombies, rising from the grave. People in the Balkans would open up graves and decapitate corpses if they thought they were vampires. But sparkling zombies sound like an interesting concept.. are you listening, George Romero?

I’m too busy typing up answers to the Twilight Questions to comment here.

Zachery Ware

I don’t think you guys understand, these films are terrible (would be a great plinket review in my opinion). I have seen all the films, and I can saw this film was by far the best one, and I mean BY FAR the best twilight film. You can’t imagine how TERRIBLE! the other films are, this one at least at a plot, and characters taking action and doing something. The other films, fail to even do that. You guys should really at least attempt to watch one of the other films, you’ll be AMAZED by how bad they are.

Ricardo Hernández Vega

Sinner, repent!

Financing evil… lowly you are.

Maraselah

I read that these movies are top grossers not just because of the audience but the abnormally low cost. They economize with the whole thing.

S G

There are definetly plenty of people watching this shit. $141 million isn’t exactly small change.. and that’s just what the movie made on its first weekend. Skyfall (which had the best start of any Bond-film) “only” made $88 million on its opening weekend.

The funniest opening to HITB is the Transformers review where you stare into the camera in absolute bored horror.

Just want to say that this episode and especially the joke about ‘fucking the baby’ and the creepy laugh made my day. I’ve been having a very crappy day in the editing room, and coming home to this simply changed my mood completely. Thank you so much for making this hilarious (and even informative) review!

azuma

“There’s not enough material in this movie for one movie, let alone two.” Wuh?

guest

What’s confusing about that?
- 555film
  
  I think it was an oblique point that babies ruin everything in TV and film – also a subtle reference to that tale of Solomon’ solution to the two women fighting over one baby – to offer to cut it into two. Problem solved, bam. Not only for them but for the film! Well, okay there was not enough material in the one baby to make two babies…
  
  That would make for an interesting montage sometime in a plinkett review – Babies Ruin Everything – show all the tv shows and movies babies have ruined.
- azuma
  
  It’s confusing because they haven’t seen the first part of the movie, which means Jay couldn’t have been talking about there being enough material for the whole, two-part movie, and on the other hand, nobody’s suggesting that the second part should have been split into two as well. Slip of the mind, that.

Nah, Anne Rice’s vampires were still pretty traditional vampires, even if they were super pretty. They didn’t have X-men powers.

I have an answer for all your Twilight questions: Who gives a fuck?

http://www.facebook.com/MaaShinn Matthew Shannon

I really don’t get why the twilight movies are popular… the books are okish i guess, but seriously, wtf.

vicomtepicabia

It’s a good thing they put in the huge epic battle even though it was a gyp and not real, cuz otherwise it would have been exactly like the ending of Monty Python and the Holy Grail except played seriously instead of as a joke.

dennett316

I actually think the movie approach is worse than the books approach. The movie gives you this big daft action sequence with characters getting their heads ripped off and idiotic super powers, so you think “Finally, something’s happening in this shit pile, at least it was building to something”. But no, it was all bullshit…it’s like the movie is rubbing it in at that point with just how much time you’ve wasted. It could have had that bad-ass stuff in it, but nah, here’s what you really get.

dennett316

She’s an attractive woman in certain photos, but most of the time she just has a look of smugness about her that makes her extremely easy to dislike. I was going to say she has a punchable face – you just see a person and instantly want to smack them – but didn’t want people to take it to mean I advocate beating up women….you know how the internet gets.

you guys really took a hardcore bullet in seeing this movie… thank you so much for giving me the heads up that this movie inst the fantastic & timeless story that i thought it was going to be… in no way did i think this movie was going to be a big pile of smash testicle shit before your review… not just a real fucking pile of garbage… not just a really really really big disastrous gathering of twats and despair… this review should have been similar to what you did for that shitty dancing movie (?) a while ago… 3 seconds long… also, i still enjoyed spending 25 minutes watching you be baffled by how bad it was also, plinket review?

- The baby was CGI because Renesmee is described as having a full set of teeth as well as intelligence and awareness that is far advanced for her age.
- Only the Cullen family – which has nine members – lives in that house permanently (the house is not secret; they hide their vampirism from local humans who know them). The rest of the vampires were recruited for the confrontation with the Volturi, the self-proclaimed enforcers of vampire law.
- Vampires sometimes take airplanes, including private and chartered aircraft. However, the Amazonians may have ran there.
(Note: the Volturi have vast financial resources and human minions, like the vampires in the Blade series.)
- The Volturi didn’t gather so many allies just to kill the baby but in order to overwhelm the Cullen family’s allies. Aro’s real motivation was to forcibly claim Alice because of her ability to see the future; the mysterious child was just a pretext.
- Benjamin has control over elements (folkloric four elements, not modern chemical elements), including earth, so perhaps he converted solid rock to magma or summoned magma from deeper down.
- Becoming a vampire often awakens latent abilities; vampire special powers were present all along in the series.

In addition, Jacob is not sexually attracted to baby or child Renesmee and will not be until she is grown up, as in Alice’s vision of Edward, Bella, Jacob and adult Renesmee after the confrontation. Obviously the situation would still be unacceptable in the real world, but so would certain scenarios in other fantasy films, such as The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Cant you guys review real movies? Like why not review Lincoln? Or Cloud Atlas? I’d be curious to know your thoughts on “decent” films…rather than always reviewing trash films.

They just reviewed Skyfall last week.
- Mister_Misinformed
  
  Did they review it or sit there and make petty sarcastic comments about anyone who didn’t like it? I tuned out after five minutes of that.
  - guest
    
    They liked it a lot. Maybe you should watch the whole thing instead of complaining about the fact that they complain, thus missing the whole point.

  Id hardly call a James Bond flick a real film.

    Oh wow…pretentious much?

    Well I’m terribly sorry that a new Citizen Kane isn’t released every other week. If such a thing could happen, then Jay and Mike could review it (for free, by the way) and you could sit comfortably in your high-speed internet connected home and watch a great review of a critically acclaimed movie. Otherwise, who knows what you could do with your life…douche.
    - Pace202
      
      There are movies out there released even amidst the overwhelming trash, that dont involve convoluted plot lines, big explosions, sex, cliche character portrayals, and marketing tricks designed to convince people what their watching is good. I’m sorry if you think Skyfall (or any James Bond flick) serves to be nothing more than a popcorn blockbuster flick.
      
      What I am talking about is ACTUAL films. This is no insult to Jay and Mike, I love what they do. But I thought it would be nice to see once in awhile them review those real films that come out every so often, instead of just reviewing the next blockbuster crap that comes out every week.
      
      I’ll refrain from replying to your attempt at insulting me, when there was absolutely no warrant for you to do so. I support Jay and Mike, I commend what they do, it was merely a suggestion I was proposing. Are you telling me you wouldnt want to see reviews on films like: Argo, Cloud Atlas, Lincoln, Coriolanus, The Grey, Moonrise Kingdom, The Master…
      
      You know…movies actually trying to be movies, and not just blockbuster hits? Where dialogue, cinematography, story, and acting are the center pieces of the film. Just a suggestion…
    - Pace202
      
      I just need to add, that list of films is not indicative of what I think is good. Its merely a list of films that dont follow Hollywood’s current method of production line assembly crap spewing.
    - Simon Beefheart
      
      They seldom review art movies (I can only remember ‘He Who Lives At Home’; they didn’t think much of it). They are most interested in the storytelling of commercial or money movies, i.e. movies that are made to make a big profit. (All movies hope to make a profit, of course, but some are expected to make more of a profit than others, eg Twilight, Spiderman, Star Wars etc.) Their speciality is examining the big money movies which use the basics of film storytelling well or poorly, and why.
    - Craggy Knob
      
      You remind me of Sarah Palin when she talks of “Real America”. I hate such kinds of distinction. Skyfall was a fine, dumb action flick. I think tonally it took itself too serious, therefore I couldn’t excuse a lot of the plotholes, but the cinematography was beautiful, the action adrenaline pumping and the acting great fun to watch.

Diogenes

Agreed with the previous commenter who stated that you guys should really start reviewing actual movies, say Lincoln, I think the bitching about terrible but high-grossing films is getting stale; or, at least, have that type of review no longer be the norm.

debaser

what are you talking about? they review a lot of movies which they actually like. maybe you should watch some of the episodes.
- 555film
  
  better yet, watch all their episodes. I came across a few movies I really enjoyed that I wouldn’t have watched otherwise and the reviews are entertaining by themselves – and due to the ads you will be in some small way helping to fund the next plinkett review

Shannon S

Your theory that they may work better as novels than as movies… tried reading them and it’s even worse. The books are terribly written drivel.

AnxiousHyrax

Five questions, one answer: because the writer said so.

And I thought the next Plinkett review would be Twilight! How wrong I was, they haven’t even seen any of the Twilight movies except this one!

Truth is, when you’re making an installment of Twilight or, say, Transformers, you don’t have to make a good product. The money will flow in, regardless. Sad, I know.

I almost shat myself when i saw another hitb w/in a week and a half of the prior one. If you keep this up you’ll rob me of my favorite past time of criticizing the lack of reviews!

Adam Sandler would be proud with this whorish Stella Artois placement.
And yes I am being sarcastic.

But then again, that’s where my eyes were this whole time.
Also it could have been beer thirst.

Oh my days! Why would You watch Twilight movie? I understand that You’d wank to the

Kristen Stewart, but she’s not worth it.

playdude92

Wait, you´re saying a movie about lethargic young people vegetating in the woods is boring, except when it tricks you into thinking it´s not?

Noah Dove

The Rigor Mortis explanation doesn’t work. Rigor Mortis is a hypertension of the muscles which occurs after death due to unregulated release of calcium ions, causing the muscles to constantly contract. It’s like flexing all of your muscles really hard at the same time, it makes you more stiff. However, there are no muscles in your dick, just erectile tissue. A boner happens when your dick fills a lot of blood and inflates until the tissue is under so much pressure that it becomes stiff (note that this process takes blood away from your brain). Since your dick has no muscles, Rigor Mortis won’t affect it. In short, there is no logical way a dead person could have a boner, especially a vampire, because you need a lot of blood and it needs to go to the right places. Fuck Twilight.

zeitguest

but tensing all muscles as hard as possible woud push blood elsewhere. fighter pilots use exactly that technique to push blood back into the brain at high g.

This is one of the funniest reviews I’ve seen in a while

My only experience with this movie was seeing the trailer for it before… Harry Potter maybe? Can’t remember, but the whole theater was howling with laughter when the chick started zipping about all vampirish, it just looked so corny and ridiculous.

You really need to go back and watch the other 4 twilight movies lol.

:(

still no cloud atlas? god damn you guys! nah i guess its okay, cant wait for future reviews.

zeitguest

My two cents, just saw it, is that I liked it. I think if you go in seeing it as essentially a scifi Pulp Fiction, you can enjoy it. It isn’t coherent in a super-analytical cereberal way but its ethos is coherent if that makes sense.

Malevolence

What a crappy movie. The movie gives me the impression that the writer was that insecure fat girl who got picked on and wrote these fantasy novels of herself falling in love with a vampire to escape from reality sort of thing. Sorry you two had to watch it.

jovrick

It seems like the answer to most of these questions is simply the author doesn’t know how something works or doesn’t care.

Stephenie Meyer doesn’t know how the human body works, or how long distance travel works. Her audience doesn’t know either. And of course neither party knows because they’re stupid.

Twilight-Expert

1)They are basically a family. They bought them their own house because vampires have super-hearing and they didn’t want to hear them fuck.

2)That is a good question, maybe he has a doll-fetish.

3)Vampire-gods have probably their own planes.

4)Vampires have super-powers, but they always mind related (read minds, mind-control, see future, creating illusions, etc) the Egyptian-guy is the only exception that ever existed.

5)The vampire-gods don’t want to kill the vampire child, they want to erase a vampire-family that became too powerful. They’ll use any excuse to do that.

siriusds89

I don’t know how it is in America but in the UK we have an incredibly
deranged Paedophilia/Scare culture in paranoid parents and the media.
Parents are not allowed to film their kids in school plays or at sports
games in case they’re a paedo and if a man hangs out in a park within
100 metres of a kid he’ll be questioned by police.

My point is they are paranoid about child sex offenders being everywhere.

So
someone please explain why a series of movies, aimed at young teenage
girls, features as the main plot point a love affair between a 16 year
old girl and a 111 year old vampire, then add in a sub-plot about a
werewolf in love with their baby, and no parent bats an eye, no protest
group form outside cinemas showing these films and no news channel or
paper seems to report it?

As an outside observer the subtext of
the Twilight series seems to be entirely about Paedophilia and appears
to be in favour of it.

An argument could even be made for the
female lead being brainwashed into seeing the normally bad guys side of
the story. “Vampires are demonised by the media but no, they are really
misunderstood.” And in the end they ‘convert’ her to one of them.

That’s scary… and it’s made £2 billion in profit…

randomhandle

16 Is the age of consent, and the wolf makes a point about saying that
he cant control it and he doesnt actually want to fuck her. It’s still
creepy, but it gets past the standards here in the uk.

Why its
ok in the us when their age of consent is 18 is beyond me, probably
because for all intents and purposes hes the same ages as her to the
censors.

I recommend the Rifftrax versions. These films were made to be heckled, and those guys are professionals.

RLM Twilight parody? Starring Rich Evans as Bella, Jay as Edward, and Mike as Jacob/Lord Voldemort. It’ll still be significantly better than the Twilight schlock.

Any idea whether or not they were serious about answering their questions? I know that’s not something to be proud of but I guess I’d be able to do that.

Guys–I finally had to drop you a line: Please don’t stop. Please don’t get any bigger(tv, cartoon, etc.). Don’t change a damn thing–just keep doing what you’re doing, and keep those laughs coming my way–
PS: Would you ever consider reviewing some other older flicks? Something from the Superman, Rocky or Jaws series come to mind–Or what about the Elm Street and Friday the 13th films? Anyway: Keep up the GREAT work, schooling and comedy–

After watching your review I had to see it, like when you guys reviewed Battleship. It was fucking hilarious, seriously this movie is so funny I was dying at the end.

<3 you guys a ton and all but get the slider off the home page, remember your critique of Star Wars:

"Cluttering up the frame with a bunch of shit doesn't make a good…"… website.

That being said, I'm actually going to look at your store and buy some of your shit. I got feeding frenzy and I want to spend more money to support you hack frauds.

I still laugh uncontrollably everytime i see the “WHAAT?!!?” clip.

StarTripper

It may have been intended for teenage girls but a coworker who was trapped by her daughters to take them to this said she was surprised by how many 40 something women were in the audience…and not accompanying teenagers. So I guess it was made for teenage girls…of all ages.

mc

Honestly, at the end of this review I was convinced that you were fucking with us and making everything up about all of the horrible things in this movie because it just sounded too horrible to be a real movie. I still can’t believe that movie is real.

So Jay and Mike! Would you recommend Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2? See, I was waiting for that one question but then they didn’t ask the one question. I don’t like things that are different.

http://twitter.com/jRam90 Joel Ramirez

I remember having the misfortune of seeing the first or whatever part of this trilogy, I was on an interprovincial bus and they had to put it ¬¬.

I slept over the first part, it was so tedious… so painfully tedious, god.
And later when I was awake, I mean, the acting was so bad, so bad, a kid could act better.
The characters were like emotionless beings with the shape of humans, their dialogs were plain and absurd, so emotionless and the sorrundings/scenarios felt really fake.

I’m glad this piece of crap it’s finally done.

I havent seen the other twilight movies either, but thought the whole series was about “2 guys 1 cup”? So is the bare chested guy now in love with a baby?

Adam Warlock

Robert Pattinson redeems himself, for at least one of the craptacular movies, in Cosmopolis. I’ve never watched any Twilight movies so I didn’t make the connection right away. It was more like, Hmmmm he kind’a looks like that guy from the Twilight movies- that I’ve seen in trailers, that are hard to avoid- but can’t be because he is doing a stellar job in this movie adaptation. (I’ve read Cosmopolis and enjoyed the movie as much as the book.)

There’s so much decapitation cause the vampires cut’em down like they’re butter. And they really are pretty useless

In Meyer’s version of vampires, their blood is replaced by venom, so he could get an erection via venom filling the tissue in his penis. I had the same question so I looked it up.

Mk Ultra

Do Cloud Atlas next. Thanks!

mrsjane

Hey! I really enjoyed this review! Seeing this review just had me laughing the entire time. I saw the first Twilight movie; all I can say is that the movie is a complete joke. The plot I can conclude is Bella gets into some kind of trouble, and Edward does some weird CGI stunts and rescues her. It goes on for the entire movie. For this one, it looked like none of the scenes made any sense from the previous. Everything looked confusing. I almost get the impression that the characters have no idea why they are in the movie anyway. The line deliveries are horrible,and there is no relation or connections to any of the characters.

Thank you for the laughs!

P.S. VAMPIRE BABY!

mrsjane

Hey Mike and Jay, I saw the first Twilight movie; like this one it is dreadfully awful. In the first one, all that happens is Bella runs into trouble; then Edward goes to rescue her from EVERY situation, and there’s CGI stuff. This is the plot, nothing more to it. The scenes that you guys displayed to us here look extremely funny. The movies scenes do not connect with each other. The so called plot is all over the place, and the characters are lost on their acting. I understand the way you guys are feeling after this dreadful movie. Don’t feel too bad .

Just another guy

Great stuff. I hope you’d review Harry Potter sometime. I don’t feel those are very good movies.

So … you guys gonna respond to these answers …?

Memoman

I found a silver lining! On Cuevana there’s a girl who wrote in the comments:

“Pésima película, malos efectos, mala trama… acepto que la primera me gustó pero esto es demasiado…”

Which means:
“Horrible movie, bad special effects, bad plot… I admit I enjoyed the first one, but this is too much…”

There’s is such thing as too much cynicism, and now this person cares more about what she sees. She thinks about it. And demands respect.

There’s just no possible way he couldn’t know what/who harry potter is

Did Jay ever see Cosmopolis? I wonder what he thought of the 100 minutes of boring pretentious dialogue shot on cheap video with horrible green screen effects?
