Capone finds the strength to chat with Kellan Lutz--the TWILIGHT Saga's Emmett Cullen!!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
I haven't taken full inventory of every actor I've ever interviewed in the 11 years I've been with AICN, but I feel confident in saying that Kellan Lutz--currently getting ridiculously famous playing Emmett Cullen in the TWILIGHT movies including the soon-to-be-released NEW MOON and the recently wrapped ECLIPSE--is the most handsome man I've every met in my life. I'm talking so good looking that it might make you angry. The fact that he's a solid actor (granted, he hasn't been tested that much by the TWILIGHT films, but he's done more than just those in his career) and a genuinely nice guy just makes it all the more unfair how good this guy has it.
I first noticed him in the exceptional HBO mini-series "Generation Kill," but even before that he has a recurring role on the Lisa Kudrow HBO series "The Comeback" and did several episodes of the revamped "90210." As far as films, he's had roles in STICK IT (with Jeff Bridges), the very funny ACCEPTED (with Johan Hill and Justin Long), PROM NIGHT; earlier this year, he shot his co-starring role in the relaunch of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.
But it's his role as one of the Cullen family vampires that has garnered him the most attention. For the unindoctrinated, he's the one with super strong powers who seems to have been paired with Nikki Reed's Rosalie (once again, I'll remind you what lucky bastard this guy is). There's not much more to say other than Lutz strikes me a guy who knows just how fortunate he is to be a part of these movies and is eager to take full advantage of the opportunities this high-profile role has given him. He also has aspirations of being the next big action star. Can't argue with that. One more preface note, this interview took place in Chicago after a massive fan event at a suburban mall the evening before, which he attended with co-star Ashley Greene. I only mention that because it comes up in our talk.
AICN's TWILIGHT coverage has sort of fallen on me primarily because I was at the now-legendary/notorious 2008 Comic-Con event when all hell broke loose at the first sight of the collected cast. I got to interview Kristen Stewart and director Catherine Hardwicke after the panel, and covered the three leads at a pre-NEW MOON panel press event at the 2009 Comic-Con. But the fact is, I don't mind. I've talked to a lot of the fans of the books and movies, and I've found them to be some of the nicest fans of any phenomenon that I've ever met. Plus, this universe is deeply ingrained in our pop culture, like it or not, and I'm kind of fascinated by such movements, whether I buy into them or not. I was not a fan of the first film, but I'll admit the trailers I've seen for NEW MOON have me more curious and hopeful than I was for the initial movie. And I do enjoy talking to people involved with the making of these movies because they all have different reactions to he fame being in the TWILIGHT films has brought them.
I'm seeing NEW MOON on Wednesday and will try to have the review ready Thursday. In the mean time, enjoy Kellan Lutz…
Capone: In the interest of full disclosure, I haven’t read these books, but I was there at the first Comic-Con event last year, which I guess is accepted as ground zero for the frenzy kick off surrounding TWILIGHT
Kellan Lutz: Yes.
Capone: Somebody had mentioned to me that your character, in particular, was the only one of the Cullens in the books who didn’t have a really fleshed out backstory. But in just doing my research for this interview, I found that little page or so that Stephanie [Meyer] had put on her website.
KL: "Emmett and the Bear"?
Capone: Yeah, that. I found that and I said, “No, you are wrong, but you have to really look for it.”
KL: Yeah, you do.
Capone: When you are first reading the books, you might not know that that exists, so did you wonder before that?
KL: You know, it’s great being a part of something that has CliffsNotes in a way. You have a writer that is always on set. She is always there, and you could call her up. I could call Stephenie up right now and be like “Hey, I have a question. Fans ask me this all of the time…" And it’s great having that piece of knowledge, and then you have these books you can read, and then Wikipedia is amazing, so it’s great to actually learn as much information as you can, and it is kind of a bummer that you never really get to see that passage. It’s not in any of the books, so you don’t really see the backstory of Emmett whereas in ECLIPSE Rosalie’s backstory gets filmed and Jasper’s is shown.
Capone: So they do actually get into some of that in ECLIPSE?
KL: They do, because it’s in the books and we actually filmed those scenes, which they look amazing. But of course, I wish we could have shown more of Emmett anywhere.
Capone: Right, and I wonder in these films that focus on these three characters, do the rest of the cast feel like you are fighting for a little more screen time? How does that work? Or is it really just everyone working toward the common goal of making a great movie?
KL: It’s an ensemble cast, which is amazing. Yeah, you have the three front-runners who are the face of all of the movies and stuff, but it’d be a blessing just to have one line or even a glimpse of me in these movies, because how much you get out of it is such a blessing and it’s amazing. Of course, we follow so tightly and closely to the books that I was fighting to have Rosalie and Emmett have like a honeymoon scene in Italy for NEW MOON, because a lot of us cast members weren’t in the book or going to Italy, just Alice. It would have been fun to travel all the way over there, but that didn’t really float.
Capone: So you didn’t get to do that? [Laughs]
KL: Yeah…
Capone: Is it kind of bizarre that most of the world--those of us who are judging these as purely a cinematic experience--are only one movie into this story and all of you are three into it already. Is that bizarre that you are talking about this movie, but you have already done that next one?
KL: It is pretty bizarre. It’s really strange choosing film over TV, because films take so long for them to come out versus TV where you shoot a couple of episodes and then they air right away. In movies, it takes a year, so it’s really hard to put a grasp on how long we have been doing TWILIGHT, because we shot the first one then we did press, then we shot the second one, and then we shot the third one, and now we are doing press for the second one. It’s like the second one hasn’t even come out. So, it’s like we are living in the TWILIGHT Zone in a way [laughs]. But it’s definitely not getting to be too much. It’s always so unique with every city we go to and with every fan we meet, it’s special.
Capone: I know you have done TV. In fact, I watched "Generation Kill" pretty religiously.
KL: Thank you.
Capone: It was a terrific show to watch, and it’s weird, because any time I hear about an actor who was in that, with the exception of Alexander Skarsgard…
KL: Yeah, Alex of "True Blood."
Capone: It’s so hard to remember faces from that show, because everyone looked the same--same haircut, clothes, helmet. But when I read that you were in it, I’m thought “I don’t remember him, but if he was in it, then he was probably good in it, because everybody was good in that.”
KL: That’s one of the reasons I did it. I usually don’t pick projects to become famous out of them or to go that route or to be in tabloids. It’s a blessing what TWILIGHT has done for all of us. I didn’t know it was a book series with such a strong fan base, I just loved the script and I loved my character. Being a part of "Generation Kill" was more about being a part of something that was just amazing, to depict what these Marines went through in 2003 and how they invaded Iraq and no one died. The story, the book is so amazing, and [Rolling Stone reporter] Evan Wright did a great job being a part of that recon division and going with them and telling the story of really what happens. My brother has been in the Marine Corp for 10 years, so it’s really cool to connect on that level as well and to really show the world what goes on over there without sugarcoating it for an audience. That’s why I love HBO and Showtime. It’s fun acting in, and I got to be a little kid--shoot guns and blow things up without any danger.
Capone: With the TWILIGHT films each having a different director, would you rather of had a single vision for all four films, or do you like having a new person at the helm each time?
KL: I definitely enjoy having new people. That’s the thing with these books; they are so different from book to book. They don’t stick to the same guidelines and they aren’t all about the same subject in a way, so it’s really nice. I don’t think there’s one director who has every talent needed to share the story of this franchise. I really enjoyed Catherine [Hardwicke]’s energy for the first one. It was more of an independent, artsy movie. I don’t think anyone knew it would be a studio hit, and then of course we didn’t have all of that money to make it like a huge studio movie with CGI and special effects. So she did an amazing job showing off that movie. It was beautiful. Then you have the second one, which is more of a love story, and there’s a lot of action needed and CGI with the wolves, and Chris Weitz has a great background with that, and he’s just so cool and collected on set that it really made it an easy-going experience to shoot that with him. Then David Slade, I mean, the third one is out there--It's edgy and dark.
Capone: He’s done those kinds of films before.
KL: He has, like HARD CANDY and 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, and so he was a great choice for that. I think each director had a preference in moving towards their own special talents in a way, but I don’t think I could have seen David doing the first one as well as he did the third one or Chris Weitz doing the third one as awesome as he did the second one, so that’s been interesting.
Capone: So what have you heard, if anything, about what’s going on with BREAKING DAWN, in terms of when production is getting started, if there’s a director? What have you heard?
KL: Usually it’s pretty funny, because a lot of times us actors find out that we are green lit for the next movie, and we kind of have to keep it hush-hush, so we play it like “Oh no, we don’t know.” Honestly, I can say truthfully, scouts' honor we have no idea. They have not come to us. They haven’t said anything. I think it’s really just up to the fans, and if they support NEW MOON and ECLIPSE as well as they did TWILIGHT, then I think we have a really great shot, and I think all of us actors would love to finish off this amazing experience with doing BREAKING DAWN.
Capone: I read somewhere that Robert Pattinson let it slip at some point that he thought production would start up again next fall, but I don’t know if he was just guessing.
KL: I would say the same thing. I don’t think they can wait too long, because we are vampires who can’t age, so I would say around September also and maybe even in Portland again or Vancouver, because you need the weather also. We can only shoot when the weather is cloudy. You can’t really shoot in the summertime when it’s nice and the sun’s out and we can’t shoot when it’s December, when it’s freezing and snowing and raining everyday, so it’s a good guestimation that we would shoot around the same time that we just did ECLIPSE. I think we all just want to do it.
Capone: Obviously there are a lot of new characters introduced in NEW MOON. Do you have any favorites among the newer characters that you can’t wait to see how people respond to them?
KL: I love the Volturi. I didn’t ever get a chance to meet them until shooting ECLIPSE, because a lot of times actors work and their scenes aren’t on the same day or they aren’t in those scenes, so a lot of times you make a movie without even meeting some of the actors, and that’s what happened for me in NEW MOON. So it was great to actually meet them and work with them. Dakota [Fanning] brings this life to Jane that’s incredible and all of the other Volturi guys. They are really cool to work with.
Capone: Michael Sheen is always so great.
KL: He’s amazing.
Capone: He’s a nice guy and a great actor, so when I heard he got involved in this, expectations were raised.
KL: And that’s what’s amazing, too, to have huge A-list actors who I definitely look up to wanting to be a part of something that I’m a part of, and so it really makes you feel like you are a part of something special and Michael Sheen just captures a room like no other.
Capone: It’s interesting and of course any time I have a detail-oriented question about this series I have certain people I can go to, but all the people I know who are fanatics about these books are all women. You obviously read the books when you got the job, I assume. What did you get out of it? What do men get out of these stories?
KL: Yeah, I did read them. I think just the understanding of why they are just such a huge hit, and also I think they get a little insight into women. It’s like reading Cosmo magazine and you learn what girls want and what drives them crazy-- you wear pale makeup and shimmer in the sun. I don’t know, it’s one of those things where a lot of times you just don’t understand girls; I don’t think we ever will as men. But you see how fascinating this series is and for my sister and my step-mom to connect on that level and to really unite, because they are great books. They really teach good lessons and it’s just a really cool thing that Stephanie created.
Capone: There are definitely some things from what I have heard in the fourth book that are going to be really tough to shoot in a PG-13 environment. Has anyone even broached that subject at this point, or is that still being worked out?
KL: Again, there’s nothing going on with BREAKING DAWN yet.
Capone: I mean more among the cast or [screenwriter] Melissa Rosenberg.
KL: We have talked about it, and I think we talked to Stephanie and Melissa also… it will definitely be PG-13 and I think we will lose a huge amount of the crowd if you make it anything beyond PG-13. But there’s definitely ways of telling it or vocalizing it versus showing it, like the pregnancy scene and stuff like that.
Capone: That's what I'm referring to.
KL: There are definitely ways to cut around or to visually create something not as horrific or extreme [as the book] and keep it on the PG 13 level.
Capone: You had this big event last night, and it sounds like you had a great turnout. In all honesty, what do you think about the interaction that you get to have with the fans, does it feel like pressure? Does it feel like work? Or is it fun?
KL: I love it. I love doing the conventions, and I love doing these mall tours, because it’s fun to travel--I love to travel--but it’s even more fun to meet such loving fans all around the world and they differ in many ways, but they all have the same passion and it’s for these books, it’s for these characters, it’s for what us actors are doing with them, so any time to meet them it's worth it. They are the ones keeping us employed in a way. They are the ones allowing us to continue on with this amazing saga, and it’s an amazing experience as an actor. It’s a dream come true to be a part of something so successful and so amazing. And I love my character. I love the scripts, I love the books, and I really hope that we get to finish it off. It’s one of those things where we really don’t see what we are a part of yet. We are kind of in a bubble, because it’s just TWILIGHT nonstop, and it’s so much fun, but I think years down the road I’m going to look back on all of those scrapbooks fans have made or drawings or dolls and really just be wowed by it all.
Capone: What do you admire about Emmett as a person?
KL: I love Emmett. I view a lot of myself in him, because I view life as… Life is supposed to be happy and stress free. You are supposed to live it to it’s fullest and do things and take risks. That’s what life’s about, living an adventurous life, and if something holds you down, it’s just not worth it, don’t let it. Always smile, it can brighten up someone’s day. I think Emmett views it the same way. With his powers, he’s pretty indestructible, and so when you go around knowing that you can never die really, because you are a vampire and you are super strong, so it’s not like somebody will be able to rip you apart, you kind of have a new outlook on life and just smile. If there’s really anything threatening, it’s more fun than being fearful of it.
Capone: I’m guessing that being in these movies has opened doors for your career, and you're getting to the point where you are probably getting inundated with scripts and offers, and you'd done a couple of horror films earlier… PROM NIGHT, right?
KL: Mostly thrillers, which I love.
Capone: You are also in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, right?
KL: Yeah.
Capone: Who do you play in that, because I was on that set for a day here in Chicago, and obviously you weren’t there. There were only a couple of the actors there. You did that here, right?
KL: Yeah, I did that here which is amazing. Working with Andrew [Form] and Brad [Fuller] from Platinum Dunes, they are amazing producers who I love. Michael Bay’s company is just awesome. He is great and I’m a huge fan of his. Sam Bayer is an awesome director. You know it was just awesome around the clock and working with those actors who I have been friends with for a while… Thomas Dekker is great and always hyped up on Red Bull. Rooney Mara is awesome, Kyle Gallner is great…
Capone: Those are the two that I saw scenes with and Jackie [Earl Haley].
KL: Jackie is just wow!
Capone: He’s the perfect choice.
KL: Perfect choice, and seeing him in the makeup is terrifying.
Capone: That’s how we saw him. We were in his trailer, and he had the makeup on and he was trying to conduct an interview. It was really weird to do that. [Laughs] So who do you play in that?
KL: I play Dean. He’s pretty much going through the tribulations of seeing these nightmares, so it’s a really trialed period for himself, because he’s losing sleep, and he’s really close with Katie Cassidy’s character and she’s there to help him out and he’s been up…throughout the movie I think he ends up being up for three or four days, and you just see the depression on him, and he’s just loosing it and he’s on medication and then off medication. You just really feel for him, because you want him to be better. He’s a genuinely nice guy, and, uh, it’s kind of tragic what happens.
Capone: I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that maybe you don’t make it to the end.
KL: Yeah, I don’t know, we are doing some reshoots, so…
Capone: Considering how many people I saw die in the time I was there. Do you have a dream gig that you are working toward?
KL: I do. Like you said earlier, it’s amazing to be a part of something where it opens up the doors and allows us as actors to have scripts thrown our way versus us auditioning and reading for them. We still audition all of the time, but I think it’s on a newer level where people will give us scripts and be like “If you like this, can we attach your name and then shop it around?” It’s really cool. I’ve never read so many scripts in my life, but I have such a great team, and we are really picky now and I really want to focus on doing action movies. I really want to be that new American action hero. I just love action. I love stunts. I’ve been a big fan of Sylvester Stallone and Matt Damon, especially. I think he’s just had such a great career where he’s done everything, romantic comedy, comedies, action, and he excels at everything, but I see him as such a realistic action hero, like the CIA operative who is not the buff guy, but he uses his brains and he gets shot at in BOURNE, and I would really love to be a part of that franchise. Hopefully it goes a couple more rounds and becomes BOURNE ULTIMATUM AGAIN.
[Both Laugh]
Capone: Have you seen the trailer for GREEN ZONE, his new film? It’s an action film, and kind of looks like a BOURNE movie a little bit, but he actually know who he is this time around. You should look it up. It looks awesome and it’s directed by the guy who did the most recent two BOURNE movies, Paul Greengrass, so check it out.
KL: Yeah, so it’s definitely nice to put away and say no to a lot of the TV stuff and a lot of the other types of movies and really focus on the action ones and there are some great scripts out there.
Capone: Before they kick me out of here, it’s funny that perhaps the most divisive scene in the first film was that baseball scene, and some people were asking “Why are vampires playing baseball?” But a lot of people who read the books love it. I think that’s their favorite scene from the first book. Were you aware of that after the fact, like “Why are people talking about and focusing on that scene so much?” Part of it had to do with Robert’s athleticism I guess.
KL: You know what? I love that scene. You have all of the Cullens together doing something as a family, and the soundtrack was amazing for it. You get to see the vampires in action doing vampiric things as opposed to just going to school and acting like humans. We get to knock these balls out of the park like realistically and use our vampiric speed and run through the woods and catch the ball and throw it back in lightning time. It’s just a fun scene.
Capone: Thanks a lot for hanging out. It was great to meet you.
KL: I appreciate it!

I have a megafone with sirens and shit on it. I want to take it to the midnight showing of the new Twilight movie and fuck with people in line. I thought maybe i'd make some kind of far out zelot signs that say it's an abomination and that Edward is a Pedophile while "preaching" to the masses that are in line to see that shit. I just didn't think anybody else would find it half as funny as i would. Any thoughts?

I know absolutely nothing about twilight except everyone on earth has told me I would hate everything about it. If that is the case then the trailer is very misleading with the whole vampire werewolf war and secrete vampire councils and what not.

I mean at AICN. That's like saying there's a pro-IP rights bandwagon at slashdot or something. You have to admit that bagging on Twilight is about the safest, most conformist thing one could do here, LOL.

Expect a barrage of angry emails from surly tween girls and their tubby moms.

I think it's fairly believable though. I have my doubts about whether this film will succeed or not, but it's pretty plausible that Cameron would want to get an annoying and infectious theme song into his latest movie. And Leona Lewis has talent.

Did me and the other folks crush "her" that badly during the last twilight talkback?

This movie is going to literally rape the box office this weeken
by terry1978
I mean sexually violate it and leave it on the ground panting. Its pre-orders have already pretty much recouped its budget, which is like 60 million.
-
I know it'll be #1, but $100 mil? If that happens the author will write that 5th book all these girls @ school tell me about, which is basically the FRIGGIN 1ST BOOK WRITTEN FROM EDWARD'S POV. Do you really want that to happen? Cuz they'll make a movie about that too you know.
-
this is some original effort. Oh God, I can already see it being overplayed to death.
-
it's fairly possible. This series is no Harry Potter for sure, but it is gaining momentum.
-
They're both kind of the same, a book and film (series in case of twilight, or *ahem* "saga") where the guy and his family are supernatural, Tucks are immortal, twilighters are vamps. The chick falls in love with one of them, but at least in Tuck they follow a more realistic or plausible road and the girl doesn't get to be with the guy and she lives a long happy normal life without him. And personally as far as film versions go, I think Alexis Bledel looks really pretty and the Tuck guy she liked was a pretty boy, whereas I have no wish to be like kristen stewart in looks or talent (did you see those stupid movements and noises she made in bed cuz she wasn't without her emo vamp in the trailer?) and that edward guy, personally I've seen better lookin' dudes in the quad or @ a bus stop. I only like Dakota Fanning, and I've manipulated one of the twilight lemmings @ my school to buying me a ticket (it'll be a cold day in hell before I pay $ to see a twilight movie, even with David Slade the director of one of my fave flicks Hard Candy directing Eclipse). For something truly entertaining, look up the "unrated" new moon trailer. It's hamsterrific!
-
My older brother who is a big muscle head covered in tat's really wants in on it. He would normaly stay out of the low brow stuff but apparently some of the fans of this shit came into his shop the other day wanting "Edward" or "Team Edward" art done and he laughed at them and said fuck that shit grow up.They had to be made to leave they were so pissed.He has gotten himself a suit from the thrift store and wants to go all out on the protest angle with this thing,dressing like street preachers ready to throw down the fire and brimstone. I don't think the theater will let us in knowingly so we're going to have to do it guerilla style I guess. I'm thinking atleast one sign that reads " Edward can not save your soul. Join Team Heaven!!! Or "There will be no New Moon in hell" . I figure if those nut cases can get away with protesting funerals the least we can do is a get about five minutes in worth of video.

also "KL: It’s an ensemble cast," the fuck it is.

i doubt she will, they hurt her feelings when they leaked the book (oh noes!), so she threw a bitchfit like a baby and decided not to do it

I swear AICN staffers just post Twilight news to fuck with us
by hint_of_smegma
Because they evidently know most of us would rather have a publically proplapsed anus than hear anything more about that fucking abomination ever again. Jeez, even Harry has the good sense to delete his Twilight articles when this is explained. So none of the other cotributers to this site have any excuse.

Fandango.com: 3 of every 4 tickets sold now is for New Moon
by pennsydeux
http://tinyurl.com/yze2ze9. Per the website's COO Rick Butler, "New Moon is tracking to be Fandango’s number one top advance ticket-seller of all time." If this holds, New Moon will bump Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith from the top spot. New Moon currently holds the number four spot in Fandango’s advanced ticket sale history and has already topped the first movie in the series, Twilight, which holds the #5 spot. Although many of the midnight shows are sold out, Fandango reports that theaters continue to add showtimes."

Get this shit off this site. Though kudos to him for saying he likes Muse. Though no kudos to Muse for letting their song be used in that horrible movie.

I just can't get into it... I put it down after the second listen. I'll give it a shot again, but I'd rather just throw on some of their older stuff.

I heard the song she did for FFXIII... and it wasn't bad. I'm not sure going for a pop vocalist was a great idea, but if they were set on that, they could have done a lot worse.
I understand why; if they get a song that captures female interest, they've just added tens of millions of dollars to Avatar's boxoffice. I just hope they do it without hurting the film. -

what a piece of shit. And U2 is somehow getting hate? Hell even on their worst day they were better than this shit.

;) I hate him for all the games he plays, that line the bad guy says to him is the only thing I give him props for.
-
...Gay. Why is this faggot-ass bullshit on here?
-
I quite like that song for the movie from Death Cab for Cutie.
-
To all the haters. If you treat it as something to be mocked, you'll quite enjoy it. The baseball scene is hilariously bad.
-
that there is the potential for more of these books. If the author were done with the series I would be able to tolerate all the hype knowing there's an end in sight, but she's probably gonna get greedy and shit out another one. Also, given the rate they are dropping this shit, the 5th movie will be in production in about two months.

This alone shows how stupid the younger generation is.
by alienindisguise
If we were living in a world where intelligence and creativity are truly valued, this shitbag saga would not exist nor would the mindless hype around it. If I could I would cock slap the author right in her mouth.

... is not "New Moon", it's "Thirst". Helmed by Chan Wook Park, the director of "Oldboy", it hits DVD tomorrow. One senses a bit of opportunism with the timing of the release, but fuck Summit Entertainment if they can't take a joke.Any fan of vampire movies should check this out. Everything I've read about it has been positive.

My friend got free passes @ our local comic shop, it was coo'.
-
total crap. the ONLY good thing is the North East backdrop is amazing. That says nothing about the movie..only about the country. I rented this with an open mind. Honestly, I gave it a fair shot. Epic Fail on every level. liljuniorbrown, love the idea but it is almost not even worth that much effort. My sign idea however...TWILIGHT PLAYS NON-STOP IN HELL!
-
terrible movie, horrible acting, bad story.
-
There is a big difference between those movies. Original 3 Star Wars = fantasy sci-fi. Twilight books = Teenage love story angst with (semi) Vampires and (semi) Werewolves in the background.

I think you mean Northwest. I'm from the northeast and it looks nothing like Twilight.

the rest were absolute shit! Star Trek was like finding a diamond ring in a puddle of dog diarhea, stop complaining! You sound like spoiled rotten brats! Lense flares look cool. Deal with it. And the writers tried to explain some of the plot head-scratchers, like the kirk meeting Spock coincidence, they explained it as a force of destiny molding time in a predetermined manner. Kirk HAD to meet up with scotty and a higher power helped materialize that reality. Ya it's a little lazy and kind of a cop-out but after reading that interview I was much more willing to accept some of the bumpy parts in the narrative. GET OVER IT. SHAKY CAM IS COOL, IF YOU DONT LIKE IT NO ONE CARES111

Here's the new trailer for my new low-budget vampire flick The New Girls. No glittery vampires here-remove spaces
http://www. youtube.com/watch?v=JfjtfRMs-2g -
I know a lot of people will bash this movie but once it comes out its going to change a lot of people's opinion. The first movie was more about love and stuff but this movie is going to have more cool action and it really makes you understand Bella more and it explores the time she spends in "like" with Jacob. The movie is going to be about pain, and missing someone you love a lot and stuff and it might be to deep for people on here who have become to cinematical towards life. My Uncle Steve is like many of the people who don't want to have anything to do with this movie, he drinks beer all the time and complains about almost every movie, but I am going to try to get him to see this because I think he will then understand it owns everything. I bet the movie will make a lot of money and years from now people will look back and see this cast was full of future stars. The one thing about the movie that is kind of sad is that the Dad character isn't in this one as much and he was about my favorite actor from the first one, he is real cool. The soundtrack has also been out for a while and there is hard rock, and cool music, and everything. It has the Killers, Grizzly Bear, and about my favorite band ever Sea Wolf. I hope some of you guys give this movie a chance because it's going to be awesome ad try to remember what it was like to be in love and stuff because that's what it's really about and that's cool.
-
Fyi in case you don't know he's a vampire Conan hired. Anyway he was in a skit tonight where he thought Bella was real, and Conan told her she wasn't and their guest was Kristen stewart not Bella, and she doesn't like vampires in real life. If you haven't seen it you should youtube it tomorrow it was pretty funny. Even as a person that doesn't like twilight I always find Cody Devereaux's appearances on Conan funny, even if they're very formulaic.
-
And you know it. Way to increase your traffic, pushing this crap that all you guys claim to hate. Leave Twilight for the homos and 12 year old girls and get on with some real movie news. To quote from Californication: "That Twilight crap is just bound toiletpaper."
-
Like, totes dude. Cereal 'n' stuff.
Ooooo, look... Kristen Stewart's on the Tonight Show. Still awkward, but at least she's not baked this time. -
Oh my...
This movie will be great... for me to poop on. -

I know that lots of teenage girls, fantasy freaks, and women who want to return to their girlhood love "Twilight."
But it's not for me.
Kellan's probably a nice guy, which is cool, but "Twilight" will typecast him forever. I was forced, almost at gunpoint, to watch the movie. I was told I "would love it once I watched it!" by two female friends, who sat watching it for the umpteenth time with me as I watched it for the first time.
Gotta say, I wasn't impressed. At all.
The "sexy hot" vampire thing with models and their blank expressions is beyond silly, in my opinion. It's not the actors' fault, of course, it's just sizzle without the steak. It's PG-rated horror for teenage girls and certain boys.
And where the fuck is the fun in that?
It's a fad that'll blow over. But I'm glad Kellan and the gang are having fun with it while it lasts. -
anyone fucks animals in the movie? which ones? i dont get it
-
pussy has polluted the whole internets, lets keep AICN as the last sanctuary for dick. make a dick coalition to fight off the rising pussy levels here. every time Twilight comes up we get a flood of unknown pussy from neighboring websites; we need to get them outta here, return them from where they came and keep this area clean from pussy.

Unless you are,or plan on being on To Catch A Predator. Could I fuck an adult chick that was into Twilight, sure, but the die hard chicks will end up spending most of your dating time looking at message boards and wanting you to be quite when this shit is on tv. It's probably not worth the trouble. I'm all for an influx of geek pussy on the site though. Bring it on ladies.
-
dont make me get the pussy deterrent. Leave us alone!

Talkbacks remain pussy-free and that is attributed to our pro-dick ideals that prevent pussy from speaking out.

Just sayin.

You're reaching new heights of idiocy.Also, good to see Sith_Rising back, evidently having not learned the lesson that boasting about how much sex you get on the internet pretty much guarantees that you don't get any at all. Although a man who names himself after Star Wars and enjoys Twilight obviously has a lot going for him...
-
One thing that always confuses me is why people here hate Twilight so much? There's a lot of bad movies but boy people really give Twilight and I'm sure New Moon the treatment. It's like people want to not like to prove who they are or something. I just don't get it. Everyone in my school is real excited about the new movie, and a lot fo people in the high school are to. Also, all the really nice looking girls like Twilight so I would think some guys would want to know about it just so they would have stuff to talk about ti with pretty girls. I talk to my girlfriend about it all the time. She was Bella and I was Edward for Halloween and we went to an awesome Twilight themed party at her parents house and it was real cool. My Uncle Steve said that guys like Edward don't like kissing girls but I proved him wrong and laid one on her. The movies are really a lot of fun and I think a lot of you would like it more if you gave it more of a chance I also dont get all the bad language, it doesn't make you look cool.
-
I find your criticisms laughable, coming from group that gets hard over the SciFi--excuse me--SyFy channel.

Anyone who's made a blockbuster movie is a sellout, you dipshits--what do you want this site to be, and indie-flick review?

Dancingforever im sure not everyone in your school likes twiligh
by meadowe
I don't like twilight personally because it's too sappy and a trend. And it makes older people think that people my age are all emo and like this kind of stuff. Im more excited about Star Trek on video this week than anything. Btw, are you serious about all the stuff you're typing or are you just screwing around? Cuz coming from a "girl" I could understand, but a "guy"? I don't remember you ever referring to your gender, so from your last post I don't know if you're a dude or a lesbian. Whatever bakes your cake.

Dancingforever is a fourty-five year old sex offender sitting in his mother's basement, laughing his kid-dipping balls off. Subversive, brilliant! I love well played satire!
Carry on. -
For my job. So at least it's free. But while I hate the franchise for being bizarrely anti-feminist, some of you guys should step back and become a little more self-aware. If anyone should understand fanaticism, it's us. And the first thing about fanaticism to remember is, it tricks you into watching shit and convincing yourself it's awesome. Remember when you dressed up and waited in line to see Star Wars: Episode I? Remember when you saw all three freaking Resident Evil and Underworld movies? Remember when you actually watched SyFy channel original movies? So boo hoo, teen girls have found a couple new heartthrobs thanks to a subpar book series.

"Bella gazed out of the window and smiled because she knew that tonight was going to be a full moon. In anticipation she shed her woolly nightgown and gently touched her budding nipples that rose to easy tumescence. Her smile widened slowly as she could hear the panting of a wolf outside her window. She reached a delicate hand for the peanut butter jar and prayed that Jacob, the werewolf, would be more gentle with her this time. But not too gentle..."
