Beware Supernatural Shirtless Guys!! There's A Promo Reel For THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON Online...
Merrick here...
A reel of interview & footage from the next TWILIGHT movie (NEW MOON) has hit the Internet & can be viewed via the embed below. The reel includes glimpses of werewolves, and offers a a few shots illustrating the expanded scale incoming director Chris Weitz is bringing to then project.
The film opens in mid November. Somewhere out there, lines are probably forming already...

Awful, just awful.
-
Twinkling little fairy bastards.
-
because I haven't ever seen so many vampires and werewolves going about during the day.
-
Is we only have two more movies after this one.
-
When will they learn that CGI Werewolves look like shit. They look soooo fake.
American Werewolf in London, a movie that is 28 years old, is has the most realistic and scary werewolf ever.
With the way puppets and animatronics work now, I'm pretty sure they could come up with some superb looking Werewolf, without the need for CGI. -
Posters from The Expendables?
-
promoting abstinence than good werewolf effects.
-
are going to kick the other shirtless guy's ass for wanting a girl.
-
My boner finally went down. Thank you New Moon. I thought that Viagra was never going to wear off.
-
emovamps ruined comic con. why can't there be a bunch of tweenies making lifestyles after 30 Days of Night? I wonder how many boys are gonna make it through this craze straight.
-
Or Guy Fucks Pie. Or Chuck and Buck and Suck and Fuck.

Thank god I was watching this clip shirtless...................
by crackerfarmboy
Otherwise I would have been very intimidated!
-
... 'nuff said. I guess I'm an old timer but I always thought that being a vampire or a werewolf was supposed to be some kind of curse instead of some kind of kick-ass superpowered way to score booty. Vampires should look nasty and stink like a mofo.
-
...if you don't already. Maybe a daughter. You'll want to introduce her to genres that interest you. And you'll have to assess whether or not she can handle the material. You know, the whole parentnig deal. Wouldn't it be extra gravy if the movies contained positive messages?Which is not to say that I think this series is any good at all, of course. Rifftraxx couldn't even save it for me.

Every time a vampire sparkles someone pukes in this world.
by zombiegremlin
Give us "Impaler" the movie, instead of this...
-
I mean, when I was a kid I still had a quality threshold.
-
Yeah, that CG werewolf is fucking atrocious.
-
What is this growing love of vampires and the dead/immortals?

most racist thing i've seen since that episode of happy days!
by themanwhocan
The little girls who watch this shit I can understand! It’s manufactured to appeal to young girls sexuality in very simple analogies. !! It also teaches young people important racist lessons that people should stick to their own kind. As follows, Outsider emo-girl hooks up with non-threatening androgynous vampire (who is also an outsider duh); little blond jock jacket fucker hooks up with little blond cheerleader girl, geeky Asian guy hooks up with even geeker Asian girl, how nice, everything wrapped up in a nice little package Wonderful stuff. (If there was a black kid in the school cracking on to the main emo-girl character you can bet he ‘correctly’ hooks up with a nice negro girl and brings her the prom by the end of the movie! Following emo-girls advice!)
As an adult it is very easy to see through this thinly disguised cynical artificial formula, thus ruining any connection or enjoyment I could possibly have for these movies.
I cannot understand anyone over the age of 17 being hooked on this shit, its really bad on so many levels.( and the baseball scene isn’t good, it’s as cringe inducing as every other scene) A guilty pressure for some silly women, maybe? BUT obsessed twilight book buying adults with kids of their own? I feel like I taking crazy pills!!!
-
How can it even be a saga when it's about sparkly effeminate vampires? Star Wars is a saga, Twilight is just a load of shit.
Although I did enjoy the Ashley Greene nude pics, so thanks to whoever leaked those. -
Embarrassing. Also, that dude's wig looked like it was bought at Kmart during a blue light special.
-
Interchangeable with An American Werewolf in London for best transformation sequences. But you are so on the money with this CGI crap.
-
I thought there was a FULL MOON last night,but it was only URANUS!
-
i ll pass thank you.unless we get to see nude teenage boobs or something.
-
not a werewolf, it should be shirtless too.
-
article,or was it a review,about how vampire mythos translates as a sexual metaphor in the movies.i am sure if u google it,u will find similar articles about vampirism as a sexual parable.vamp movies like twilight,are the best examples of this.
-
I also agree with you on The Howling as well.
I would also like to say Dog Soldiers, but although nothing spectacular, those Dog Soldier werewolves still look better than the CGI ones.
I would love to see what Stan Wilson's workshop would be able to pull off with an animatroic werewolf. Maybe one day! -
Blade is gonna kill those faggot ass vampires.
-
must correct you. i just watched the movie and read all the books to see what the hype was about. the movie casting was vastly multiculural compared to the books. the asian boy and *latin* girl he took to prom were actually white kids. and you notice the native american boy didn't hookup with anyone in that movie.
-
cameron can pull this out,with his super,uber,hyper 3d/cgi technology.
-
Then he pounds Kristen at the end as his reward for ridding the world of milquetoast evil.What's sad is that this series makes "Kindred: The Embraced" look good.
-
Have a recepticle where you leave your nuts You get them back after the movie..... that is if you still want them
-
No it's not. There's no sex in twilight, not even on some metaphorical level. Being a vampire doesn't translate as some parable of sexual awakening in Twlight, it just translates as "zomg that guy is so kewl!". If anything it's the opposite, it promotes abstinence before marriage and that women should be subservient to the dominant man that controls your life and breaks into your bedroom to watch you sleeping.
-
CGI Werewolf! BAD! Better if they kept the wereguys shirtless than this! It's a wonder that they cannot pull off a cool CGI wolf today! Are they retarded? Or do they fear that the fangirls will be afraid?
-
That woman's idea of drama is stammering uncontrollably. Anyone see The Messengers? And she was the only awful part of Adventureland. What the fuck is up with her? And I'm not even going to echo all of the "Why is this SHIT popular"? Oh wait, I just did. There's nothing fun about this series of movies. Nothing to redeem the horrible dialog and story. Nothing. And Twilight had the worst choreographed fight scene I've ever watched.
-
New Moon could be the funniest comedy of the year. Oh and what's with all the shirtless dudes?
-
The beauty about transparency is that it REVEALS. This series blatantly caters to a specific demographic, particularly those who are easily swept away in the pseudo-gravitas of adolescent angst. The flimsy "mythology" of vampires and werewolves is almost a footnote tacked on to elevate cliche-ridden, formulaic material into something vaguely intriguing. I have yet to meet someone, who's opinion on film I respect, provide any further discourse about these movies that brings any interesting commentary to the table.
Transparency in this regard does us all a favor by showing us how shallow the idea pool is in this case. These movies aren't really trying to be anything more than what they are. Better yet, they're self-admittedly screaming out that the "bark" is better than the "bite." -
...as young girls' fantasy of choice, apparently. How did this happen?

I'm a dude reading New Moon now... MUCH better than Twilight
by yotzvonfrelnik
Or more tolerable. There is a better plot rather than Bella and Edward just falling in love for 500 pages. What killed me with the Twilight book was in interminable worship she had for the guy. It took and effort to get through the second half. But New Moon's actually worth your time. Granted, I still have a couple hundred pages left to read, so it could turn to crap, but so far, it ain't bad. Jacob's alright, really. The average guy can identify with him a lot better I think.
-
can't do shit to help a scrunchy pig-face. utter shit all the way around with these flicks.
-
they'll be disowned
-
Did i go to see crap like this when i was a kid...nope
-
C'mon, you know in real life, "Jacob" and "Edward" rather sniff each other's assholes and play hide the penis with each other, NOT Bella.. and furthermore, how come all werewolves don't wear shirts?
And finally... why is it there are never fat, ugly vampires.. or any that look like real mean, slightly overweight, bad skin, un-salon like hair.
Geezuz, might as well call this movie Twilight: the vibrator movie for chicks to get moist on or a fag's wet dream. -
Why else double the number of Oscar BP nominees, except so they can include stuff like this that has a legion of fans who will watch the awards show rooting for "their movie"? The announcement to have 10 BP nominees at next year's Oscars came just days after Twilight swept the MTV Movie Awards. Coincidence? I think not!
-
Over on Aint It Bale News.
-
Everyone knows werewolves don't wear shirts. Oh, and why shouldn't teenage girls have their own porn? Seems fair enough to me.
-
More Werewolves running on ceilings!
-
kristen stewart looks like a crack whore and pattinson is nothing more than a little cock knocker. if that fat hack bitch meyers didn't have family in the publishing biz we would never have endure this worthless trash. fucking nepotism horse shit. a huge FUCK YOU to everyone involved with this junk.
-
...does AICN continue to cover this shit? Can I get a god damn answer here??
-
stop hating.
-
Stephanie Meyers has family in the publishing biz?? Sure would make sense - there's no other way ANYONE would greenlight this bollocks.
Come on, spill! Who is she related to?? -
and douchers
-
twilight rifftrax is brilliant. though i had to drive 20 min. to the library to get the film so as not to go to blockbuster. i'll be damned if i support this fad or anything else with kristen stewart, maybe the worst actress of this generation.

Its A Good Thing I Was Watching This Clip Shirtless..
by frodo t. baggins
Or else I would have jizzed all over my tie.
-
CGI werewolves......bad
Remember the wolf in The Neverending Story?
That one is still cooler.... What year was that?
1984...that's right...1984 -
"Once we get to Hollywood and find those fucks who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made 'em eat."
-
i saw, i puked
-
the only people I know who give a shit about 'Twilight' are chick young adults. Probably counts out 100% of tb'ers.
-
I've read some defensive previous posts.Do your testicles swing? I swear some of you people would defend 'The Dildo' directed by Michael Bay and starring Andy Dick.
-
I say no more posting in these threads from here out! let the 2 fans on here have at it. make this crap look empty and maybe they will stop.
-
and I told her that was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. She agreed. At least it was her time she wasted reading them.
-
Seriously, this crap belongs on teenbeat.com or some other site the kiddies go to. As an adult male I care about as much as this as 'My Little Pony The Movie'.
-
Breaking Dawn: Bella and Edward are married, but their honeymoon is cut short when Bella discovers she is pregnant. Her pregnancy progresses rapidly, severely weakening her. She nearly dies giving birth to her and Edward's half-vampire-half-human daughter, Renesmee, but Edward injects Bella with his venom to save her life by turning her into a vampire. A vampire from another coven sees Renesmee and mistakes her for an "immortal child", whose existence violates vampire law, and informs the Volturi. The Cullens gather vampire witnesses who can verify that Renesmee is not an immortal child. After an intense confrontation, the Cullens and their witnesses convince the Volturi that the child poses no danger to vampires or their secret, and they are left in peace.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWhat a load of fucking shit.
-
The books (and I guess by extension the movie) may not be very well written but they completely nail the way a young girl feels the first time she falls in love. And since it gets that overriding detail on the nose the rest of it doesn't really matter. I watched the first one expecting a Plan 9 sort of spectacle that would be unintentionally hilarious but what I got was just lame and stupid.
-
there are actually such good young adult fantasy novels out there. Not necessarily vampires, but Lloyd Alexanders CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN are awesome books inspired by Welsh mythology and they'd make awesome films as long as they got LOTR/Narnia treatment and not Twilight/Spiderwick Chronicles/(Seeker) Dark is Rising treatment.
-
...which I suppose you could argue since Dracula wasn't actually killed by the sun... HOW THE FUCK do you justify a daylight, non-full moon, voluntary, painless werewolf transformation? It's a werewolf. That means night time.
-
Middled aged with horrible horrible horrible taste.
-
Just a quick tip, if there's a link to something that you're clearly not interested in, if you DON'T click it, you won't have to read anything about it. No wonder most of you aren't able to get out of mom's basement, spending all your time compulsively clicking every hyperlink within sight then furthering your frustration by registering and commenting on the article/video you're not interested in.
-
they aren't werewolves. technically, the final book tells us, they are shapeshifters.
-
it's like you know my inner soul.
-
and saying anything "Twilight" related should never be on this site, yet look at how many responses every "Twilight" post has gotten. If you hate it, why click on the link and then watch the video? Just ignore it, if it bothers you so much. If you take the time to watch the trailer and make a comment, you must be interested. If no one responded, they'd stop posting articles about "Twilight".
-
As dumb as I think these movies are, I think plenty of movies that are deemed worthy by talkback are equally dumb. I'll skip this just as I skipped Transformers and Terminator.
-
Either that or producers of 'Twilight.' Don't YOU guys know how the internet works? It's a magical land where all bets are off.
-
Someone leaked three Ashley Greene nude pics last week, they were on Egotastic but they got pulled. Apparently she shaves.
Surprisingly even a quick Google Image search doesn't return anything. Luckily for me I sensed legal intervention in the air and saved copies to my computer. ;) -
only 2 more movies?
ummmm yeah... no. last book is gonna be like 7 movies alone (OK, it's three, but it will feel like it is seven...) -
Are now just foaming at the mouth to get photoboy to send them his Ashley Greene pics.
Okay, so it crossed my mind for a second too.
Who's Ashley Greene?
There's another Twilight movie?
Man, it's one thing to think it looks silly and harmless but some of you boys get so angry and heated about it...take a deep breath and relax or you're gonna wind up like little young versions of Chris Cooper in American Beauty.
Better to get dragged to this one by your girlfriends than to go hang out with your (ahem) buddies in your basement, right?
-
The film event of the fall is here. This looks like a fun, entertaining movie. They've definitely stepped up their game since the first one. Granted, we're not the demographic this movie is made for, but I think this could still be an enjoyable evening at the movies. And call me crazy, but I saw the first trailer on the big screen, and the wolf WORKED.
-
Please post a link to those pics somehow!! if you do , you will become a talkback legend, plus it will have the bonus of pissing off a bunch of dopey twilight mums who just need to grow up.
-
was such a presence on this site that Summit Entertainment thought his username was worth buying to peddle their wares. DGDB is the new harry knowles, it seems.
-
that movie looks gayer than two guys making out in a park gay.
-
That I tied it to a fence and beat it senseless for making me feel gay.
-
Vampire boy friend leaves and then she dates a werewolf? That's it? What the fuck kind of movie is that going to be? Are there any bad guys doing anything or is it just love story back and forth? Because from someone who hasn't read the books that movie looks horrible! Plus how are they werewolves if they easily transform in the day? And why in this world are vampires all pussies? Where is Blade when you need him?
-
i could careless about it
-
i just wanted to be positive about something today. looks like i picked the wrong thing.
-
Leaves a fuckload of room for improvement. and it gives the kids a chance to look back in the future and wonder what the fuck was wrong with them. as for the CGI - I've seen better amateur work on youtube
-
Werewolf and vampire meet in a bar and fall in love....
-
the Ain't it Cool target audience now? They are in for a talkback suprise.
-
Thank you for bringing reporting on news about a series of films that your target demographic openly and violently despises.
-
into werewolf form, when his clothes barely containing his throbbing package shred apart from the sheer ferocity of his mascu-lupin-inity, when you can . . . oh, wait, random pixel.
-
The fuck?
-
I'm not interested in these movies all that much, just the reactions they provoke. Sure, Twilight is lame, but I just can't see myself getting as fucking angry about it as the rest of you seem to be.
-
Actually bothers me even more than Twilight. I could never fucking stand the whole "Humans discover that vampires are real and they now live side by side" conceit, whenever it's been done. It sucks all the power and mystique out of the myth.
-
Comment: unauthorized comment submitted.

Remember the one that screams "faggot" the loudest usually is. Mel_Gibsons_Nazi_Dad, I'm looking at you.

did all of this shit better w/her anita blake series.if i were her,i'd sue the crap out of that hack stephanie meyers.she basically just ripped her ideas and made them into a lame teen girl fantasy

When they're selling Vampire T-Shirts at K-MART. It's over.
by orionsangels
Today's tweens have adopted this whole Vampire culture, like they discovered something new. The whole being into Vampires thing, peaked in the 90's with Bram Stoker's Dracula, Ann Rice books and the Interview with a Vampire film, Vampire the Masquerade. There was even a Vampire TV show, way before True Blood. Twilight is basically Vampires meet Beverly Hills 90210. Pretty people with problems, only now they're Vampires.
-
Like the way you might engage in some discreet dick suckery at a gloryhole in an adult video booth but still be watching straight porn and when you leave you still check out chicks not guys ... but ghey in a lame way that in the future will only be called "twilighty."

Fucking false advertising.What's all this anger about 14 year old girls on AICN? They already have one that works on staff, Herc on Coaxial.*rim shot* Thank you I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
-
I read the first book just to see what all the fuss was about. It really was clichéd crap with a questionable moral. On the other hand, if teenage girls like it: let the baby have its bottle. There’s enough crap for guys out there already, or do you like it every time women get dragged to action movies. Furthermore, I can objectively say that the CGI werewolf looked ok.
-
'do you like it every time' should say 'do you think women like it'. I need coffee.
-
They even call it fucking "literature". It's not. It's a fucking soap.
-
The CGI's bad, but then again, this is just a trailer so maybe the effects aren't all done yet. Even so, it doesn't even look like a wolf, more like a husky or german shepherd.

I read an interview posted on CHUD a while back in which she actually admits never having read 'Dracula' or seen most vampire movies given that they are usually R-rated, and as a practicing Mormon she avoids such immoral fare. So we have an author who is willfully ignorant of the major work already done in her chosen genre. No wonder this is crapola.

Yes, because Mormons wear magic underwear that protects them.
by orionsangels
Isn't religion awesome you guys.
-
This stuff IS money. We may not like it. But that's how it is. Expect more movies in the 'saga'. Women and teens - they have the money. Geeks? They just illegal download. Which means the right movies are not being made...and the crap ones are.
-
For all those griping about how vamps were ruined, the Volturi are the real vamps. Their code is that no human must know about vampires, or either they must be killed or become a vampire. Which is obviously why the Cullens have turned them down numerous times.
-
unless I pull a Buffalo Bill with my weiner.
-
couldnt care about either of them.
-
Her falling off the motorcycle. What exactly about that scene did they think was worthwhile to show off as a preview?
-
juvenile morons many of you seem to be. I never cease to be amazed at the childish attitudes and homophobia of this site. You're not into other guys sexually? Fine, that's your prerogative. Don't denigrate others with a different orientation. You come across as jerks. In case no one has told you recently, "gay" does not mean "stupid" or "dumb" and "fag" and "faggot" are derogatory terms. Using them basically puts you in the same category as people who use the word "nigger." Have a nice day.
-
How about "Cocksuckers". Regardless of what homosexuals decide to call themselves it will quickly devolve into a pejorative.
Gays could call themselves themselves the "Super Tough Ass Kickers" in ten years fourteen year old boys would be saying "Twight sucks! Its super tough ass kicking"
"Idiot", "Moron" (a word you chose to use yourself by the way) and "Retarded" were once considered to be scientific terms that were kind ways to refer to the mentally disabled. They all became pejoratives. "Special" was replaced Retard and now that is used as a slur.
Those dopey ads with Wanda Sykes telling teenagers not to call lame things "Gay" (see I had to use lame which use to be the nice way to say crippled, oops I mean disabled, oops I mean differently-abled)is an exercise in futility. The Gay community needs to worry about things that matter like legalizing marrige, ending discrimination in housing and employment and violence against gays rather than "t -

thanks for an intelligent response, containing several good points. Something I don't see here very often. I did think, btw, that the shirtless guys in the promo reel are pretty hot.

to see who can write the shittiest vampire story ever.
Oops too late. -
That wasn't the "real" DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD!

I read somewhere (I don't know if it's a joke or not)That Stephenie Meyer is working with the folks at D&D making new characters. She allegedly said something about 'half man-hunk, half unicorn that shoots burning rainbows from their eyes'......*cricket chirp*
-
This looks even more gay than The Covenant. I think an evening with George Michael in the park might be a little more heterosexual than this crap. Has anyone discussed this story with anyone of the Mormon faith and how they've managed to conveniently overlook what they're religion is against just because this was written by one of their own. It's truly religious hypocrisy at it's finest.

-
The main Twilight site, twilightlexicon, is run by Mormons....I know..
-
it reminds me of the show 'Scrubs.' Y'know, one minute a doctor slips on a banana peel and the next he learns he may have cancer. Stick to the funny, guys, cause it's funner to read.
-
She sent a hefty portion of her profits toward Prop.8
-
Initially Stephanie Meyer's idea for that came from a true like experience, she had the burning rainbows, and they ere shooting out of her ass. The same "source" for the books.
-
Just curious, are you THE Dr Morbius, of the wig wearing, big fish place variety?
-
No.....but I did see Kevin Smith at Comic Con.
-
...this trailer is good. Not good in an objective way that everyone can agree upon (obviously), but good compared to Twilight. The first movie was an atrocious abortion of a film, flawed on so many levels that even my vaunted sense of neutral objectivity threatened to collapse.
I'm actually cautiously optimistic about this film. Edward is actually supposed to be absent for most of the film (so long as the movie follows the book), and since Edward was the biggest problem of the first movie, the second one should be an improvement. Plus, Jacob is a much more interesting character who is actually empathetic, instead of some stalkerish, controlling, obsessive idiot. And there should be some decent amount of fighting as well. Wolves tearing things apart limb from limb is a plus.
And for those of you who're wondering why there's so many shirtless guys, it's because when the wolves transform, it ripped up their clothes. Although this reason doesn't really explain why they have pants and no shirts though. . .I'm guessing the PG-13 rating got in the way of having naked werewolf boys running around. -
Don't even get me started about the "Prop 8" hypocrisy. You are right. The Mormon religion seems to conveniently turn itself on and off when it suits their ideals, especially when the all mighty dollar is involved. If you don't believe how much do you think Ms. Meyer's donation to get into heaven, excuse me, tithing, will be this year to the LDS and in the next few. Of course they're going to look the other way. She's a gold mine.
-
They train themselves to take enough time before transforming to pull off the pants. Jacob keeps a cord around his ankle to store his while in wolf form. And as for Eddie, it's totally Victorian the way he is toward Bella, what with the controlling protective crap. Jacob would have been the better option, but this was written for delusional virgins, though I must admit I'm one of the fangirls. Please don't pull out the pitchforks.
-
I've never seen in my entire life so many people trying make so many excuses, all of whom have nothing to do with the film, for why it's so atrociously bad.
-
a Harlequin romance novel (sans sex) that got a lucky break. And I cannot explain why I like it. I guess its the xx chromosome.
-
Just kidding darling. Everyone has different taste, obviously you see something in these twilight stories. Me? It bores me to tears, but then again I'm a 36 year old man, who grew up in the Lucas/Spielberg era. When blockbuster movies were good.
-
I like many bad films as well. It just drives me insane that such an enormously large group people deem this property so original without looking further into the genre. (It's really as original as Sci-Fi, excuse me SyFy, The Terminators from this past weekend.) There are so many other stories/properties that they would/could like as well. Like Roswell for instance. I've recommended Roswell to many Twilight "parents" over the past 2 years and their daughters eat it up. Some liking it far more.
-
Put on the Cure, Morrisey or Depeche and hold on.
-
At Comic-Con were fucking retarded. Fan: "Robert omg omg omg, what's your last name?" Robert: "Aye lassy that's a tough question." Robert then smiles and said fan faints. That and the wannabe goth chick pretending she was high sums up that panel.
-
I went as Death to the Chicago crappy-con, so I get cred for that.
btw, my husband is an old man as well, and shares the loathing of the series, though is a trooper about letting me force it upon him. He wants to go to a Twicon just to sit back and laugh. -
..Kristen is a different story, but that's a different forum altogether.
-
Terminators.....really?
-
I think they have some kind of obligation to play at least one Jeremy London movie a week. Or something directed by C. Thomas Howell.
-
Jeremy London and George Stults. Two 7th Heaven regulars, that would make a good trivia question. Also Jason London.

spaghetti, i sincerely ask, what the fuck is the appeal in this shit? the movie was so god-damned bad that i had to go through half a bottle of Jameson just to get through it, and that was WITH the RiffTrax going. the excerpts from the books read like the worst sort of fanfic. and we haven't even gotten to the racism, sexism, pedophilia and other myriad horrific morals this story goes into. yet still, none of this offends me as much as how mind-bendingly terrible it all is. it was bad enough to make me take back the title of "worst movie ever" from Transformers 2, and the concept of a fucking generation viewing this as anything other than fucking trash terrifies the ever loving shit out of me. it's bad enough that children's entertainment has gone from Jim Henson to the fucking Wiggles in my lifetime, but this is just frightening. at least Animorphs and Goosebumps had cohesive story structure, this is straight up shit.

that I know are single 50+ year old women.
Real men don't sparkle. -
More GAY vamps and NOW WAREdogs this is going to be genius
-
the indian kid's steroids, now those were top of the line.
-
they are a book publisher. they know how to write a proper story. i've read tons in the last 20 years. HQN would not have bought this book.
-
I can't even explain why I like the series. Bella is a needy,whiny virgin with a martyr complex. Edward is a controlling,overprotective 108 year old virgin. Though I do like Jacob. Maybe that's what kept me reading. And some of the small characters' lives were actually interesting. I think she had a good basic idea, she just should have let someone else write it.
-
My friend had one titled "The Ruthless Italian's Inexperienced wife"...awesome.
-
with no editor, is the problem
-
...its a great show and i wish we could get a real tb... so, excuse me while I speak out loud
-
...I think I picked the wrong TB to takeover... oh well, SN needs more werewolves! the episode wit Sam fallin in like wit the weregal was (bitter)sweet... Dean even cried!
-
...and it shouldnt be a cop out like that Across the Pond crap...
-
...VDay episode opener... that was the sexiest and disgustin thing ever!
-
...but I must prevail like the Winchesters against Lucifer!
-
...if Jesus would like the Winchesters
-
...drunk Castiel!
-
...Death talkin to Dean... see, thats a great way of explainin origins or plots or whatever, without havin to do a flashback episode of a light!
-
...someone call Bobby!
-
...his reunion wit his wife was another highlight
-
...the episode with all the Gods was GREAT!
-
...as Jacob, a douche
-
...the credit opener... its cool
-
...I dislike him for some reason
-
...and I have had ZERO complaints
-
...but hes cool
-

You need to buy/rent the other seasons. It started out with the premise of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in a different horror movie every week and they have been making it up as they go along and it has always been awesome. The earlier seasons are chock full of awesome classic rock, even in the "Then & Now" recaps they do.
-
...thanks to TNT reruns... TNT always pick good shows to syndicate ie Angel... but yea, the show evolved a lot...
-
its a sausage fest in here now... and im actually about to go partake in some smoke monster activities (not getting flushed down a macguffin waterfall)...
-
Where they happen acoss Texas Chainsaw Massacre type rednecks and decide to kill them, even though there is nothing Supernatural going on, is one of my all time favorites.
-
I'm in. Do either of you guys feel that this season, much like last season, could've used about three more episodes? I think that the show runners have tried to cram too much into the final episodes to set up the finales.
-
....I saw that one live back then (before I was converted into a SN fan), and was entertained... but pre-SN LOVE, my favorite episode was when they were in Hollywood... that was classic (Dean fucked a actress heh heh, she was a hoe fo sho)
-
...never watched a season live before now, so I cant speak on that... but too me, the season flowed perfectly... a break after that VDay episode was smart (with Dean giving up)... but, yea more episodes is always good (wit these guys cuz they know how to use time unlike lost)
-
...nothin in SN feels crammed like compared to lost... somebody-"whats that noise?" Hurley-"hold on." hurley sees ghost MikeMichael- "the whispers are ghost"Hurley-"thank you"
-
...keep it goin whoever comes after I...
-
To me it felt like the Pestilence, Death, and sabotage pieces of last week's episode should've been their own episodes, especially the Death episode. I would've liked to see how the season (and show) ended if they hadn't picked it up for season six. The rings being the keys to Lucy's cage feel rushed- shoe horned into "Oh shit, they gave us a season six, what are we going to do now?"
-
I didn't think the rings felt rushed at all. Like the breaking of the seals it gives the characters a purpose through the season. They introduced the rings before they even signed off on a season 6. I think season 1-5 has been planned perfectly, more than any other show I've seen with a major story arc like this. Season 6 to me is going to be like dessert after the main course.
-
...and this is a GOOD idea!. Thanks for the invite :-)
-
I agree that this arch has been perfectly planned and for the most part, perfectly executed. I just think that it could use a couple more episodes. I would've liked to have seen more of Michael, more of Lucifer, and an expansion of God. I think they originally planned to have God make an appearance- that would've been pretty cool to see. But who knows.... we might see that tonight.
-
re thesin: yea, when you say it like that, it was rushed... but it was cooly rushed in my opinion... and ya could say those horsemen were just fed up i guess?... but they served their purpose than some temple people...re acid: ho yea, appreciate it!
-
...aliens next season... sorry to theoretically spoil?
-
....2 hours! theres just so much there that cramming tonights ep. in 1 hour doesnt do it justice.
-
Aliens are possible given Death's speech last week. It'd be pretty cool to see that.
-
yessssssssssssssssss
-
....beat the devil up, Popeye Winchester!
-
oh hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
guess the story aint over folks!.........great episode, but ending was a cop-out.
-
...just wanted to post to keep the numbers up... but ho yea! good shit acid!
-
...loved all the dialogue and wtf death moments...
-
...was he God? or did he gain more powers besides the propheticness?
-
...it wouldve been a perfect series finale, but ill take more and more greatness
-
that always makes me happy
-
also loved how a week later Bobby's out hunting a rugaru
-
at the end. He had a sad look on his face like Dean had moved on, like he told him to.
-
bitching, never being satisfied, and shows always having loose ends. It happended with Sopranos and is happening with Lost, and that's always how it's gonna be, so I say just enjoy these great shows.
-
After Dean got to the showdown, got out of the car and started talking, it skipped and the next thing I saw was Cas saying "assbutt" and dropping a malotov cocktail. Not sure what I missed there but it was pretty hilarious.
-
Love interests don't stand a chance on this show. Dad was fucked, Sam is fucked, Bobby had to kill his wife twice and is fucked, Dean is fucked.
-
maybe not as the big picture story but who knows.
-
1. It would make sense if he was God, since it is essentialy the creator, Eric Kripke, writing himself into the show and from a certain point of view he is "god" to these characters, but...
2. The thing on Deans neck never lit up around him so it can't be.
3. I expect this loose thread to hang and view the prophets disappearing act as a metaphor for Eric Kripke leaving after this season. -
After last weeks Death episdoe she wrote I totally have faith she won't fuck it up.

I always thought the kid they found to play the younger brother
by jackslater4
was perfectly cast as a believable younger mash-up of Sam and Dean, looks, voice and mannerisms.
-

Really hope Jeffrey Dean Morgan pops in before it really ends
by jackslater4
-
unless ya didnt see Michael/Adam catchin on fire
-
especially how it ties directly into my views of the last lost
-
or deux ex a impala was a great way for sam to take control
-
... and yet he hated, hated a Ridley Scott movie. My mind is still trying to compreend that.
-
and very materialistic.... "what? a new gi joe toy? lets start raving!"
-
Great ending to a great season btw. Now to go watch me some Fringe.
-
...yea i think he is... or maybe somethin else? maybe a alien (jk)?...
-
I hope that they go all Lovecraft starting next season. All Death's talk of the universe being older than they realise actually made me think of Cthuhlhu & the "Great Old Ones" more than aliens. Who wouldn't wanna see the Winchesters REALLY out of their depth dealing with entities that think of God & the devil as a couple of 'young punks' that are just playing at power? I wanna see Dean react to some hottie he's fooling around with as she transforms into some horrible amphibious abomination. Bring on some non-euclidian geometry.
-
hey brotha(?)!... but one thing I hate most on AICN, is the love for Cthululoop... i never read it, read the wikis, and not interested... but who knows... but ho yea, more SN fans!
-
I can understand that position; different strokes and all. I just feel that would be a more 'fitting' (read: 'supernatural') direction for the show to take than what most think of when you start using the work 'alien'. It's an established toybox ripe for playing in, and the set up's all there: The nasties of the C mythos are all older than established human myth/religion; they pretty much had Lucifer wipe the floor with most of the big guns of old world mythology/religion; plus it'd just be cool to see the Winchesters deal with something that makes the Christian apocolypse look like a tea party. At least SOME would have survived Lucifer's party. The Great Old Ones just wanna turn it into a burnt husk. Thanks for the reply. And I used the term 'brotha' 'cause I read your hijacking plans over in the Lost TBs, and Desmond's gonna sort that shit out. But beyond my theories of where to take the show next year, that season finale was how you do it. The team on this show really knows how to balance the mythology of the show with the character stuff, and that finale just delivered. And the fact that the 'prophet' was really God was very meta. The fact that the man who 'wrote their adventures' was really the one 'writing their adventures' was neat. Plus it was a nice little confirmation of what Cas told 'em when he said that God had been helping out more than they knew. All I know is, I'll be back next season fo sho.
-
It really does stink to high heaven that Supernatural can't get a talkback, 'cause it's been one of the most consistently entertaining genre shows the last 5 years.
-
...I understand the love I guess, it just those pictures are so ugly I dont wanna see a live action one lol... but yea, as a writer, I loved the writer as god thing cuz, essentially, I am a god also (though my creations are only in my head since no one has read my scripts/stories lol)...
