And The Director Of NEW MOON (The TWILIGHT Sequel) Looks To Be...

better director on a small scale by drstinkfinger	Dec 12th, 2008 09:05:40 AM

When you make the release date more important than the movie, ev by NinjaRap	Dec 12th, 2008 09:07:13 AM
Alien 3. Jurassic Park III. X-Men: The Last Stand. When your only priority is to shit out a movie as fast as possible just to make a buck, and you charge forward without taking time for creative concerns or a proper final script... the public suffers, and so does your franchise. This is going to be a train wreck.
NICE #@$%& DESIGN WORK?!? by JabbaTheMutt	Dec 12th, 2008 09:11:19 AM
That's what we consider quality film making these days?? Golden CompASS should have been...well...GOLDEN...and the start of a huge trilogy. Instead...it was a WHOLE lotta average. Great design. Great cast. Great effects. But an AVERAGE movie. Another property ruined. Is ALL Hollywood asleep at the switch? If all we expect from massive properties is great DESIGN $%#@& work...the end is here. The Earth HAS stood still...

Grumpy...OUT!!
The Golden Compass was the worst fucking movie of last year by mefrog	Dec 12th, 2008 09:15:10 AM
I LOVE the books, but that movie was awful. Awful pacing, awful script, awful acting, and flat-out awful adaptation. I saw Twilight drunk last night. Damn, it was fun. I mean... shit, the movie is awful but it's so deliciously bad it's hard not to enjoy it.

Will something get its jaw swiped off with a polar bear paw? by SoylentMean	Dec 12th, 2008 09:49:32 AM
Only good part of The Golden Dumbass.
Only one film has done werewolves correctly by knowthyself	Dec 12th, 2008 10:07:45 AM
An american werewolf in london. That's it. The amount of time and money that it takes to do a werewolf properly is not in this flims budget. Except something more like UNDERWORLD in that dept.

Sadly, I'm reading this right now by jupstin	Dec 12th, 2008 10:55:53 AM
My wife has it - I liked the Twilight movie, so I started to read New Moon - It's pretty good, actually. I'm embarrassed to be seen with it at work, so I downloaded a copy from wattpad and printed it out. Now it just looks like I'm doing work or something
The Golden Compass Was HORRID by Magic Rat	Dec 12th, 2008 11:07:23 AM
absolutely awful, except for the Polar Bear fight. Maybe the warewolves will be CGI and have a good fight, but they don't really fight in this book.
American Werewolf in London... by Kid Z	Dec 12th, 2008 11:28:29 AM
...yeah, that was the closest thing to werewolves being done right. The original Wolfman movie too, pretty good for the 1930's, if somewhat silly when viewed today. Other than that... nothing. I kind of like the way werewolves were handled in one of the Dresden Files books as well, but H/wood, if it addapted that, would just F it up, as usual.
fuck twilight by palewook	Dec 12th, 2008 11:36:27 AM
let the right in
twilight werewolves? by Bouncy X	Dec 12th, 2008 12:01:13 PM
so if their vampires werent really vampires, what are their werewolves gonna be....guys with really long hair who like kibbles 'n bits for lunch?
Hmmm... haven't seen Golden Compass by Andyrooskie	Dec 12th, 2008 12:36:43 PM
...But About a Boy was excellent. Consider me intrigued.
I liked Golden Compass. by Engelhast	Dec 12th, 2008 03:30:08 PM
I think the cliff hanger left most unsatisfied and I would really be disappointed if they don't continue which looks unlikely.
If twilight was a goth paradise by TOGSolid	Dec 12th, 2008 03:31:43 PM
Then the furries are going to absolutely eat up New Moon. Has anyone contemplated using these movies as a form of population reduction? Just gas the theater after the movie starts and do the world a favor.
Answering werewolf questions.... by Potch	Dec 12th, 2008 03:39:44 PM
The Twilight "werewolves" aren't werewolves in the traditional sense. They are men who turn into actual wolves. They're supposed to be ginormous though. You find out in the fourth book that they are actually shape shifters, not true werewolves. :-) Hopefully the movie has them looking like wolves and not some stupid wolfman thing.
Chris Weitz ????? by Series7	Dec 12th, 2008 03:45:21 PM
Whos fucking dick did he suck to be allowed to direct these special effects heavy movies? Granted Twilight 2: Die Harder will only have to trump the special effects of the Covenant (the prequel to Twilight) to fucking impress their fans. So Chuck and Buck and Suck and Fuck should be able to handle it.
But in all seriousness by Series7	Dec 12th, 2008 03:46:49 PM
Golden Compass was one of the worst movies ever made. Had the credits rolled the second after the bear fight, could have made it one of the best. But after that scene there really is no reason to keep watching, just don't fast forward through the commercials and wait for Coke's (Oscar snubbed) commercials to air.
Twilight was successful, Golden Compass flopped by zooch	Dec 12th, 2008 04:03:35 PM
Funny, they fired the previous director who was a success, and hired the guy who did The Golden Compass which was a dud.
That being said... by zooch	Dec 12th, 2008 04:06:39 PM
Chris Weitz is a good choice, he has experience w/ special effects, and "About a Boy" had heart.
Dog Soldiers? by Shan	Dec 12th, 2008 04:37:42 PM
For what must have been a relatively small budget, they did pretty good werewolves, I thought. Not relevant for this series I guess but I also liked how all the firepower the soldiers were carrying was next to useless. Anyone else has an opinion?
Jim Cameron by kwisatzhaderach	Dec 12th, 2008 04:56:54 PM
will save the day.
Fran Walsh Is Better Choice By Far by spidermanfreak20	Dec 12th, 2008 06:34:57 PM
Seriously.
will Ed fuck a pie? by The Amazing G	Dec 12th, 2008 06:57:42 PM
you're all forgetting this is from the director of American Pie lol
Awesome news! Yes! by Quake II	Dec 12th, 2008 07:39:20 PM
Actually I don't care at all. I never saw or read Twilight. I'm a heterosexual adult male, so it's not my cup of tea.
No Kathryne Bigelow? by TopHat	Dec 13th, 2008 08:00:09 AM
Jesus, you Hollywood idiots really don't know what your doing anymore, huh?
saw twlight today... by bowtiehoon	Dec 13th, 2008 08:28:08 AM
man the first half of that movie dragged on... don't what the big fuss of this crap is about
The Golden Compass....... by D o o d	Dec 13th, 2008 04:34:15 PM
was the biggest missed opportunity ever. The books are amazing and because of Mr Weitz's shoddy film making skills, we'll probably never see the other two books made into movies. I haven't seen Twiglit but it looks like another smallville teen bullshit nonesense, so weitz can't really go too far wrong eh!
Still haven't seen the Golden Compass by Charlie_Allnut	Dec 14th, 2008 12:55:29 AM
All the hate for it has scared me off...still I suppose I should see it as a fan of fantasy works.
Summit is RETARDED by Posthumos1	Dec 14th, 2008 04:20:35 AM
The reason that Twilight has done as well as it has in Box Office, in my opinion, is because it was a huge book written AND directed by women. This movie in NO WAY was made for male consumption. I looks and feels like it was directed by a woman. A male director would not have made the same movie. And it would have been a mediocre film at best, probably. So the FUCKTARDS at Summit can the female and bring on the testosterone to ruin the franchise. I hate suits. Suits don't watch movies. They seem so out of touch. They want to rush this project into production thinking that the money tree will fly open and it'll just be a success. I know that some catty fans of the book have their gripes, and that's all well and good, but they will fcking melt down if this guy kills the story. Summit, IF THEY HAD A BRAIN IN THEIR COMPANY, would put a female director behind the camera for the remainder of the series.
Male or female director, Twilight is a POS. by AnnoyYou	Dec 15th, 2008 12:44:31 AM
The source material is absolutely horrible and no screenwriter, director or actor is going to change that (it's highly amusing that both Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have made fun of it in public). And the books get worse as the series progresses, culminating with a birth in which the baby eats his way out of his mother's womb and breaks her spine in the process. Lovely! Great stuff for tweens! I have to say though, I really object to this series (both books and films) because as a hard-core Mormon, Stephanie Meyer probably sank millions into the Yes on 8 campaign here in California. As such I will never support anything she creates.
